Every other week Morgan takes Norm into something else he has never heard of— the history of occult figures, psychics in the military, two very different kinds of gurus that emerged from the psychedellic '60s + more — it's with curiosity and good humor, they find the relevance and wisdom for their spiritually curious listeners.

Astrology is one of the most mainstream topics Morgan + Norm have dabbled in to date and as such comes with some biases and misconceptions. Morgan leads Norm into the ancient world, a jaunt through the renaissance and the theosophical influence that led to sun sign horoscopes in newspapers. A beginner friendly walk through the stars for anyone who (like Norm) has ever felt confused or intimidated.

The Teachings of Don Juan
The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castenada is considered a classic from the 1960s. Figures covered in Season 1 almost certainly read it. Norm has some bones to pick to pick with this granddaddy of New Age literature while Morgan lays out how this book cemented in the public imagination what spiritual knowledge and transformation was supposed to look like... If you ever felt disappointed that you couldn't disappear with a strange man in the desert and emerge with spiritual enlightenment, this discussion is for you!
