Curious Cat - where science & supernatural collide

We are in the dog days of summer.  It's a season of campouts, when a tent pitched in a backyard offers cool relief from sunny days. Those magical nights are a bridge to the celestial realm. From stories written in the stars to the placement of the Sun, Moon and planets at the moment of our birth, to the impact Moon phases and Sun spots have on our human bodies? The bridge to the celestial rea...

Have you noticed? Curious Cat is not a political podcast. It's a place where I explore strange, nebulous, mysterious aspects of life, death, history, science and spirit. I don't so much pick topics as my guides queue them up, set them like a golf ball onto a tee. I can't tell you how many times during morning minutes something takes over my pen and writes out what is next. Sometimes...

This week we are daring to trek on the bridge to Hell. Maybe you think as a collective we are fully in Hell mode as of late. Is Earth the Hell realm as some believe? Or is the only Hell concocted in our minds? What do near death experiencers have to say about Hell? What religions besides Christianity preach about Hell? Is the message the same or different? And most important for those little sizzl...

With this video game we call reality getting wild lately, I thought it was a good moment in time to dance on the bridge to Heaven. If near-death-experiencers are right in their accounts, Heaven is our true home, all of us. It is rife with colors, music, and unconditional love. We need a bit of that chicken soup for the soul right now, don't we?   Let's channel our inner Led Zepplin and c...

When I say the word 'imagination' what comes to mind first? What age were you when you last used your imagination? I mean used it and then bragged about your skills to someone else? Were you a kid in school? I think of SpongeBob, shaping his hands into a rainbow saying slowly, "Imagination!"   What if I told you it's not just the stuff of childhood? In fact, it may be a su...

A few weeks back I showcased a retro episode, my first conversation with Derek Condit from Mystical Wares. In it, he spoke of his personal experiences with Sasquatch, one happened on a hiking trail with his daughter. I hope you caught that, his telling and later his theory about cryptids, including Sasquatch. I've been hearing it repeated more lately, but Derek was the first person I heard sa...

The Silk Road isn't just a unit from middle school history, it's more than a trade route, also. This geographical location is quite possibly the first intersection of Eastern and Western cultures and was instigated by what else? The desire to make money and acquire exotic goods.  The Silk Road, besides being a geographical bridge, changed mysticism, lore, legends, and history forever. I...

Hi there! I'm traveling this week, so I thought it was the perfect moment to re-share with you one of my favorite episodes. I hope you love rediscovering the information Derek shares, and my gosh, doesn't my voice sound different? I've also added a link to my latest interview of Derek below. Made and offered in love. Derek Condit of Mystical Wares: Intuition & Magic of Unconditi...

Have you ever seen a ghost? Curious to experience a sighting, but hasn't happened for you yet? Or are you one of roughly half of the population that that flat out doesn't believe?  I had a spirit call Mama! in an old London hotel one night. I woke up fully to see the ghost of a little girl in a white dress standing beside my spot on the bed. In a cab ride to Heathrow days later, my kids...

Should we attempt to make contact with aliens? Dead ancestors? Go with pals to a haunted locale and channel our inner Zak Bagans? And what to make of the new trend to play a certain strain of music/sound that people are calling an alien dog whistle? Where is the most likely place to have a Bigfoot run in? And should you bring gifts?  In the weeks to come, we will be crossing the bridge to the supe...

Have you ever stepped on a mountain path and felt called by the burbling waters of a river? Felt a breeze blow through a thick stand of aspen, and looked up to see a column of sunlight that felt important? Peaked a mountain and witnessed a cobble of huge stones, struck by a gap in the middle of them that seemed to widen when you looked closer? Walked into an old house and felt dizzy, disoriented?...

When I stop and look at the state of gender - I, and all that identify as women - have LOTS to get mad about. Inequality in general, inability to drive a car in some countries, inability to own or inherit land in others, the paycheck gap in the US, being invisible when it comes to drug trials and the user experience in general up until recently (which is why airplane seats hurt our necks) etc, etc...

We've been exploring bridges, these last weeks, intersections, spaces where dark meets light, sleep meets awake, East meets West, the physical meets the spiritual, science meets art, and this week, that bridge takes us across the River Styx. This week, I'd like to share a little continuing education class I created for someone I love dearly. Her language as a lifelong educator is continu...

On a recent episode of a podcast, guest Amarillo Valle (pronounced Vi-yah) said, "We say, happiness is an inside job. Well, peace is an inside job, too!"  His statement shook me. It woke me up from some deep slumber, a type of recurring dream where I kept putting others in charge of my experience, my joy, my happiness, my peace. Why did I give away my power? When did it happen? And how d...

How are you this week? Have you been seeing more places, spaces, where two opposing forces or states of being intersect? Have you witnessed the magic in those juicy spaces? If you're nodding yes, has the supernatural winked at you? Given you more overt breadcrumbs?  This morning as I ran, I watched the clouds move across the sky, one in particular was shaped like a pyramid. It then morphed in...

Before we dive into uncovering the language of the Universe, I'd love for you to pause, take a deep breath. Exhale. And remember. Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "Our breath is the bridge connecting our body and our mind. Returning to our breathing, and following it all the way through from the beginning to the end with awareness, brings body and mind back together, and reminds us of the miracle...

Today, our search for the Bridge turns outward to the stars, the Sun and Moon, and how they reveal the Bridge that lies within each and every one of us, breadcrumbs sprinkled on our birth charts that carry over into our lives on Earth. Is there anything quite like the feeling of looking up into a clear night sky? Staring into the indigo helps put our human, day-to-day troubles into perspective fas...

Each year I treat myself to a tarot reading from my friend, Karen Rontowski as a birthday present to myself. It's the perfect way to look back, be present, and look to the year ahead. This year was no different, because as the months have unfolded, her insights continue to resonate. One key bit explained my sense of never fitting in with anything my entire life, is when the cards, and Karen s...

The most valuable commodity on Earth isn't gold or uranium or fresh air and clean water, it's Free Will. In the last month or so I've gone deep into the angelic realms with some celestial guides. One common thread between all angels, guides, Spirit, God, Jesus, Israfil, Buddha, ancestors and any other being is that each human has Free Will. In order to be of assistance, or charm our...

Last week as I researched Archangel Raguel, the angel of justice, I came across another angel I'd never heard of and got curious. He's best known as Azrael's coworker, as they are bookends of the dying and transition to the Beyond process. But, my he's not solely (okay no pun intended there) in charge of that aspect of the human experience. He's much more. And like the oth...

The title of this episode - Raguel and the Wounds - sounds like a sad boy band name, doesn't it? But, this episode, and the messages specific to YOU are anything but sad. They are joy and freedom and support and comfort and love.  Let's get into it!   Raguel 101 Archangel Raguel is new to me, as of the making of last week's episode, when I spoke of the shadow traps of angelic work....

This week's episode came as fast and fierce as water from a firehose. Archangel Chamuel turned the mountains and sky pink one morning, which set the stage for me to research this unfamiliar angel. He made it clear as I was gathering information, that there was much more to this episode in the making than just info about him. Well, boy was he right! I've got a list of the ways that workin...

*** This episode is all about the magic messages waiting in times of quiet. When I've felt down and alone this last year, one major form of 'company' has come from watching Desert Drifter on YouTube. His wife, Evelyn, posted that he was in a car accident on Friday, January 31st. He underwent lifesaving brain surgery and is fighting for his life. Below is the link to his YT channel....

Episode Intro In a recent conversation with a beautiful mage in a far off mountain range that will remain nameless, we stumbled into a topic I'd been thinking about lately, how anger has been the emotion that's popped me out of periods of malaise. It's also helped snap my focus to something not okay happening in a sea of noise. It's been the kindling in my belly that's bur...

What a week it's been. And January has felt like a year in and of itself, hasn't it?  I don't want you to do what I almost did, get lost in the sauce! Here's the astrological forecast for the year from the very best in the business of evolutionary astrology, Timothy of Rasa Lila Healing.   Rasa Lila Healing - Mid January thru beginning of February, YouTube   Send us Fan Mail If...
