For example, did you know that DB Cooper isn't even the correct name? Or that the plot might be based on a 1954 comic book? Or that Cooper might have been the first trans person in Washington state?

Sleeping Beauty is just as deep with syncretism and mythology than any Greek or Roman pantheons (and in fact probably an...

Between classic childhood animations, Disney also created (many) animations for the US military both as propaganda and internal training. Victory Through Air Power was shown in theaters and provides a clear connection to the involvement of Disney within the Military Industrial Entertainment Complex.

Pinocchio is a combination of Metamorphoses, Gnostic writings and even revolutionary political w...

Mythology isn't just a collection of old stories - it represents deep and occult knowledge passed from from our ancestors - and some of those are more occulted than others.

Dr. Carla Ionescu is a modern-day Lara Croft, exploring forgotten ruins in Greece and elsewhe...
