   A Bluebird in the Asylum | Spirit Science PT. 11

   On April 5, 1950, the CIA approved Project Bluebird, a program to use drugs, hypnosis, and the polygraph to reprogram the human mind, and thirty-four days later L. Ron Hubbard published Dianetics. This episode traces the unsettling parallels between Hubbard's "auditing," the E-Meter, and the Agency's own reprogramming experiments, following the thread through Naval intelligence officer Joseph "Snake" Thompson, St. Elizabeths Hospital superintendents William Alanson White and Winfred Overholser, "Wild" Bill Donovan's OSS "Truth Drug Committee," and the private psychiatric world of Chestnut Lodge that quietly fed recruits to Bluebird, Artichoke, and MK-Ultra. Was Scientology the invention of a lone narcissistic genius, or something built from the same blueprint the intelligence community used to crack open the human mind?

   Catechism of the Uranids | Spirit Science PT. 10

   Born into Transylvanian poverty and dismissed by Heidelberg as "too fantastical," Hermann Oberth derived the fuel and weight calculations that made spaceflight possible and taught a young Wernher von Braun, the student who would build the V2 rocket and be swept into Operation Paperclip. Yet the father of rocketry openly rejected scientific materialism, attending séances, claiming contact with his dead brother through mediums, and insisting a psychic named Barbara Troll relayed to him the teachings of an alien race he called the Uranids. If one of the architects of the Space Age believed his knowledge came from the dead and from beings beyond the stars, was he a crank the establishment was right to mock, or a visionary they never understood?

   The Deaf Prophet of Kaluga | Spirit Science PT. 9

   Deaf, expelled, and self-taught in Kaluga, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky derived the rocket equation that still bears his name while insisting his real teachers were telepathic "ethereal beings" of "thinner matter." His cosmology — a mystic philosophy called Russian Cosmism, inherited from librarian Nikolai Fedorov — held that humanity's destiny was to leave the cradle of Earth, colonize the galaxy, and ascend toward a universal consciousness. If the man who wrote the equation that made spaceflight possible believed it was handed to him from beyond, was he an eccentric genius, or a prophet who saw something the rest of us refuse to?

   The Collins Elite Were Right | Bonus Episode

   In 1991, Nebraska clergyman Ray Boeche met two DoD physicists who claimed the government was contacting non-human entities through occult ritual — and that a secretive Christian faction, the Collins Elite, had decided the "aliens" were demons in disguise. From Nick Redfern's Final Events to Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley's Lam, and modern whistleblowers like Luis Elizondo, we ask whether the group ever existed — and why it might not matter if they were right anyway.

   Snake in the Parsonage | Spirit Science PT. 8

   When L. Ron Hubbard — future founder of Scientology — turned up destitute at Jack Parsons' Pasadena mansion in 1945, Aleister Crowley himself warned by telegram that Parsons was an "obvious victim" of "prowling swindlers." Hubbard proceeded to seduce Parsons' partner Sara Northrup, abscond to Florida with $20,000 and a yacht bought on the rocket scientist's dime, then weaponize Parsons' own vulnerabilities to escape a lawsuit — a betrayal that eerily mirrors Edward Kelley's manipulation of John Dee four centuries earlier. Was the man who would build one of America's most notorious religions a genuine occultist, or just the latest Edward Kelley to find his Dee?

   Rocket Man From Babalon | Spirit Science PT. 7

   On January 4th, 1946, Jack Parsons, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and inventor of the rocket fuel that made space travel possible, began the Babalon Working, eleven nights of occult ritual in a Pasadena mansion with L. Ron Hubbard, future founder of Scientology, serving as his scribe. Drawing on John Dee and Edward Kelley's Enochian magic and Aleister Crowley's Thelema, Parsons sought to incarnate the goddess Babalon herself, channeling Liber 49 in the Mojave Desert while Marjorie Cameron arrived as his "elemental" Scarlet Woman. Was the father of American rocketry a visionary who saw magic and science as two rebellions against human limits, or a genius consumed by the very forces he tried to summon?

   Mr. Crowley | Spirit Science PT. 6

   Aleister Crowley, "the Beast," the self-styled Wickedest Man Alive, may have been recruited into British Intelligence straight out of Trinity College, Cambridge, the same crucible that later produced the Cambridge Spy Ring. From his WWI propaganda for The Fatherland under German-American agent George Sylvester Viereck to the suspicions raised by Military Intelligence document MID 9140-88, this episode follows the occultist's double game in neutral New York, his Thelemic gospel The Book of the Law, and the entity Aiwass who allegedly dictated it. Was Crowley a traitor, a patriot, a charlatan, or a genuine sorcerer — and did even he know the difference?

   Enochian 007 | Spirit Science PT. 5

   The codename 007 wasn't born in a screenwriter's imagination, Ian Fleming lifted it from John Dee, Queen Elizabeth's court magician and spy, whose two zeros stood for "eyes for the queen." Drawing on his own years inside the British Naval Intelligence Division, Fleming wove ritual magic, the Trout Memo, and a real scheme to deploy Aleister Crowley against the defecting Nazi Rudolph Hess into the very DNA of James Bond. Where does intelligence work end and the occult begin — and has anyone, from Dee to Fleming, ever truly known the difference?

   Disclosure Day Review: Close Encounters of the Spook Kind

   In this episode Skyler and Jordan review Stephen Spielbergs new film: Disclosure Day. Certainly an interesting piece of propaganda.

    Conjuror to the Crown | Spirit Science, PT. 4

    The man who helped invent the British Empire also claimed to speak with angels. John Dee was Queen Elizabeth I's most trusted advisor, a cartographer who shaped Britain's naval ambitions, and a magician whose Enochian system still echoes through occult practice five centuries later. From scrying with Edward Kelley to dedicating the Monas Hieroglyphica to the Queen herself, Dee blurred the line between statecraft and sorcery like no figure before or since.

    The Last of the Magicians | Spirit Science, PT. 3

    The father of modern physics was an alchemist. Isaac Newton spent decades chasing the philosopher's stone, hoarding 169 alchemical manuscripts, and corresponding with Robert Boyle about hermetic secrets so dangerous he warned of "immense damage to the world" if they got out. His estate hid it all for 200 years — and we're asking whether Newton's scientific breakthroughs came because of his occult obsessions, not in spite of them.

    They Came Bearing Gifts | Spirit Science, PT. 1

    How did pre-literate humans master metallurgy, agriculture, astronomy, and architecture without the scientific method? The ancients had an answer we've stopped taking seriously: the gods taught them. This episode dives into Prometheus, the Watchers of Enoch, the Garden of Eden, the Apkallu of Sumer, and the uncomfortable question of where human knowledge actually comes from.

    The Philosopher Who Talked To Ghosts | Spirit Science PT. 2

    The man who gave us logic, ethics, and the foundations of Western philosophy openly claimed to take orders from a spirit. Plato wrote about Socrates' daimon, the Golden Race, and the afterlife journey of Er without a hint of allegory — and modern scholars have been frantically secularizing him ever since. From Diotima to Carl Jung to cognitive scientist John Vervaeke, the daimon never really left. Become a supporting listener or connect with us HERE!

    Welcome To The Jungle | Introduction Episode

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Principalities and Powers, are you ready to take a peak under the hood of the Satanic Control System? Every empire in history has claimed divine authority, from Naram-Sin of Akkad to the Caesars to the so-called secular states of today. The ancients believed unseen entities ruled over nations, mountains, and kings — and the Apostle Paul agreed, calling them the principalities and powers. This episode pulls back the curtain on divine kingship, cosmic geography, and the spiritual machinery behind human civilization. Support the show or connect with us HERE!
