The Blue Men of the Minch
<p> </p> <p>Welcome to the Foxhole, dear guests, and welcome to the latest installment of Foxxo Esoterica. On tonight’s episode, I’ll be discussing a legend pertaining to quasi-merfolk; specifically, the Scottish Blue Men of the Minch, located in the stretch of water between the Inner and Outer Hebrides. And what might have compelled me to discuss Scottish folklore? As it turns out, Zuma the Puma and I actually took a trip out to the Hebridean Isle of Barra this past August with a dear friend, Zippo the Tiger. Tragically, we saw zero blue men. But it was nonetheless a very enjoyable experience.</p> <p>You can support Foxxo Esoterica on Patreon at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGVpam9vMVlLMmprRUFsa2xhcWNkZGhITEJCd3xBQ3Jtc0tsQndZeUhjZXV1QzBVX3ZLTTIwV04zdjY3OW93bTU5eXhjcUZjZ1RjV0Rla2hwUHFDVldBcHZsN28xSlVraUp3VjVGY1RrR19RckFDNXZKeUc5YnZ2SmNweGc4MzlwVF9qblQydUc0em9KSzlOWWFLQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2FForsetiFox&v=PvSvIVV5yGo"> https://www.patreon.com/ForsetiFox</a> or at KoFi at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmxTYkN5amJmWENUVTJNOFdpOVFsNkdEUGxfUXxBQ3Jtc0ttbzhseDdZOUNqbHJ5UE1BZ19wQmVaVS1xSjR0blptekZ4UjhXQi1pVDc5R3laVWluR3JVT3RPeG1nWm9mVnZpa3g3Q2s5Rk1ERFM2U2VHaFM3azBOWkU2VTdXWHB5Y2tFSm91RHhpYUxuZEIzSG9Wbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fko-fi.com%2Fforsetifox&v=PvSvIVV5yGo"> https://ko-fi.com/forsetifox</a>.

What's the DEAL with Robert Johnson?
<p> </p> <p>I went to the crossroads. I fell down on my knees. I fell down at the crossroads. I’m clumsy and trip over things with ease. Ask the Lord Above have mercy. Let me at least come back from the crossroads with a neat story. And indeed, I went to the crossroads fully knowing what story I wanted to cover, but this sounded like it’d be a fun comedic bit to play out, so I went to the crossroads and asked anyway. And now my knees are scraped and my fur is dirty.</p> <p>Where was I? Oh yes, the topic of tonight’s terrifying and tantalizing tale; the legend of the man literally designated by the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame as the world’s First Ever Rock Star. He’s one of the most influential blues musicians to come out of the Mississippi Delta, but perhaps more famous than his contribution to music history canon is the legend that surrounds this mysterious singer. For indeed, very little is verifiable and known about this musician’s life, but many claim that his rose to fame came at the cost of his immortal soul, after a fateful encounter with the Devil Himself at the Crossroads. Tonight, dear guests, it’s time to talk about Robert Johnson. And, more specifically (you’ll have to forgive me for burying the lede), the actual history of this amazing musician, who, in my opinion, never actually met with the Devil actually. </p> <p>You can support Foxxo Esoterica on Patreon at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGVpam9vMVlLMmprRUFsa2xhcWNkZGhITEJCd3xBQ3Jtc0tsQndZeUhjZXV1QzBVX3ZLTTIwV04zdjY3OW93bTU5eXhjcUZjZ1RjV0Rla2hwUHFDVldBcHZsN28xSlVraUp3VjVGY1RrR19RckFDNXZKeUc5YnZ2SmNweGc4MzlwVF9qblQydUc0em9KSzlOWWFLQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2FForsetiFox&v=PvSvIVV5yGo"> https://www.patreon.com/ForsetiFox</a> or at KoFi at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmxTYkN5amJmWENUVTJNOFdpOVFsNkdEUGxfUXxBQ3Jtc0ttbzhseDdZOUNqbHJ5UE1BZ19wQmVaVS1xSjR0blptekZ4UjhXQi1pVDc5R3laVWluR3JVT3RPeG1nWm9mVnZpa3g3Q2s5Rk1ERFM2U2VHaFM3azBOWkU2VTdXWHB5Y2tFSm91RHhpYUxuZEIzSG9Wbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fko-fi.com%2Fforsetifox&v=PvSvIVV5yGo"> https://ko-fi.com/forsetifox</a>.

The Codex Gigas
<p> </p> <p>Welcome, dear vagabonds and visitors, to my first ever video iteration of the once-podcast, Foxxo Esoterica. Originally, I planned on indulging in a little audio ghost story project for the pandemic, to whet my proverbial artistic blade, but it occurred to me that adding pictures and dressing up in little costumes should constitute the next logical step in said project’s evolution, so the jump to video was made. Ideally, I shall aim to keep these videos about the length of a standard solo episode, and I endeavor to even edit them in a way that lets me rip them as an audio-only file without being too jarring, to those who still enjoy a good podcast format. As a result, I will not be able to upload these on a consistent schedule, but I do hope that the effort put into editing serves as a sizable enough consolation prize. I may even branch out in regards to the topics I want to cover, as I mention in the video. So stay tuned for perhaps mycology content, furry content, roller coaster content, and a slew of other things that strike my vulpine fancies. Rest assured, though, two videos out of three will remain on-theme. Or something like that.</p> <p>Additionally, I shall be ripping the first part of the video, and publishing it as its own little separate thing. This is solely because YouTube has a cute little section where one can publish videos that describe the content therein, and I kept talking about “the process” and “my artistic vision” before actually getting into any ghost stories, that I sort of accidentally developed said video before I even thought about making one. Could I have made two different videos? Yes. Would it have taken more time than I’m willing to dedicate to a silly little channel intro? Most definitely. Point and case, this video description has been exactly the same up to this point. (As with the podcast's description)</p> <p>And here the deviation occurs. I see you, reading the video title. “Codex Gigas? Who’s she?” Dear listeners, our topic this evening entails the largest medieval manuscript in history, gauging by size; the Codex Gigas. But one would be hard-pressed to summon spirits with a large book alone, which is where the Codex’s legend, and indeed, its nickname, come into play. Also known as “The Devil’s Bible,” this text was said to have been finished by Satan himself, after a monk failed to complete it in time to stave off an execution. This video shall cover the Codex’s legends, history, and a cavalcade of other little bits and jokes that I can now make thanks to the wonders of video editing.</p> <p>You can support Foxxo Esoterica on Patreon at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWg2N291b1hMTDhCQzhCdy1SM1N1SDlLREFUUXxBQ3Jtc0trYlVVN2RxaVpRcGRpeXVHMk5uektQRmtkQmtPN3AtSFhaZGNxWWMwWHlKcXJJU1NwUkZ5VkMxa2JJU21tWS1TcjZ2UzhfUGwwTWt6THBJNkF5V3VjRjFtdXZlQlRLUlpFTVF5RVVIb0lhYjNzYjJlVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2FForsetiFox&v=k06PK5MYKD0"> https://www.patreon.com/ForsetiFox</a> or at KoFi at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa29hZVFVTFFDRTFkaGFWQTYzSEVOeERjRkN0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuOTEycVZIbEZUX0V3RGZRYnVUYzl4ektOV0dldUU1bVdNR2Y4Sm5ub25zTkw0Z3ZCU2twaWNUZDlwcFpwYklmSVhvS09UTUI2QVM3anBsaF85U0dUdjh4ZXNfa2hmYjhoQS1ldVhvSTZCZUF4YmVnNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fko-fi.com%2Fforsetifox&v=k06PK5MYKD0"> https://ko-fi.com/forsetifox</a>.
