Curious Cat - where science & supernatural collide

Hello! Before I introduce this week's topic, I want to just extend my heart to you. It's been a hard week. And, you know I do not speak of politics on this podcast. I reject offers from political figures to appear. This is not my focus. But, I feel a hand on my shoulder to share something with you. When I say at the end of the podcast that I love you, it is straight from my heart chakra....

Show Intro Thanks for tuning into Curious Cat, Cascadia!  Cascadia was born of fire and ice. A string of 19 volcanic peaks stretch from Canada to California. Sulfur, lava, ocean mist, evergreens, and fog commingle to create one of world's most haunting, mysterious realms. Venture with me into the Cascade Mountain range. Find ALL Cascadia episodes on your regular Curious Cat stream. Episode In...

It's a quickie, but I have to hold myself accountable and offer in hopes that it lifts YOU and lightens YOUR load, too. Next week we will be strapping on our hiking boots and summiting Mount Adams together. In the interim, check out this movie set on and around the epic Cascade peak that's often overlooked. A true story, a love story at its core, it tells of one man's journey throug...

Last night a white cow followed me around in my dreams. It was a milking cow that was snowy white and it nipped at my right wrist a couple of times. When I woke up and journaled the dream in its entirety, I texted my daughters, because both had been in the dream. They're used to weird, trippy texts from me, and my desire to pass along any messages intended for them. My eldest said that the co...

Only meditate when you are in a safe place where you will not be disturbed. Send us Fan Mail If you are searching for a fresh, binge-able podcast, this might...

Episode Intro Last week I shared stories of my recent trip to Japan. There's one story, though, that's taken on a life of its own since being stateside once again. It all began with a visit to Tokyo National Museum in Uedo Park, seeing objects that have become icons in the UFO/UAP communities. If that wasn't enough, those odd clay figures led me to seek out some of the burial pyrami...

I'm just off the heels of a phenomenal trip to Japan. It was precious time, two weeks with the whole family. And though I did not pack my podcaster hat, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the country, the culture, and sought off the beaten trail places where ancient history was kept alive right next to mega-modern skyscrapers. I had to share some of my favorite stories, and moments, w...

This week we're talking about witch trees - as in w-i-t-c-h - Trees thought to be embodied by the souls of witches – What? Did you think I made the concept up out of thin air? No. I was researching ghost stories around Halloween and stumbled on the true account of a cursed tree in Oregon. But before I tell you about that, and other ghost stories, I'd better roll the bumper music. *I was...

As Spring days blur into endless starry summer nights, I hope you'll retreat into the piney wilderness with me. After enduring a drafty winter, it's well past time we got our faces into sunshine, feel peat moss beneath our bare feet, and savor this season of growth and renewal. There's no better way to send a refreshing chill down your spine than to dig into the haunted side of the...

When I was in school, I was presented with book knowledge as if that's all there was to know, don't bother looking further. Geologic knowledge? We know how everything came to be. Zoological information? We know every species, every adaptation, every nuance. Science? Yes, these are theories, but they have been tested and true. Scientists STILL wear the word, 'theory' like a itch...

Let's get into it. But wait, first... Full Confession - I'd recorded this episode already and as I did the audio edits, I wasn't happy with this episode. It had great information, an interesting story and a powerful message but was buried in a tangle of crossed wires. You see, the provenance of the Emerald Tablet is complicated. And a pissing match over who claims to be the culture...

My mind is blown. If you've been listening to the podcast this last month, first, thank you! I appreciate your willingness to get weird with me here. But, second, I've been on a journey without even knowing I'm on it until I have AHA! moments as I record. This is the fourth accidental installment of what the Universe has been creating. If you missed the first episodes, catch them he...

This is the third episode of what has become a mind-blowing journey created by the Universe that stems from the four mysterious knocks I received on my front door during a gusty storm.  If you wish to catch up, begin with The Present . Next, listen to Four Knocks , and then dive into this one. The final segment is called 3 Seemingly Unrelated Essays which will go live next Friday. Monique is wonde...

We've all heard of angel numbers, right? 111 222 1234? But what about knocks? Raps on the door? I remember from my Ghost Adventure-obsessing days, the crew would often hear three knocks, declaring it a sure sign of dark energies, maybe a sign of a demon - a mocking of the trilogy that is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. But recently I heard four knocks on my front door, then three hou...

Here. I. Am. Those three words have shown up for me in random ways throughout the week. Those words AND the number 222 - which is my sign for angelic besties, Metatron and Sandalphon, angelic best friends that represent the great central sun and the Earth's crystal grid (heaven and earth). All of which are clear messages to me to be in my body, be present.  We live in a time when it is near i...

This week, I focus on an archangel that risked banishment from Heaven to gift humans with divine knowledge. He has what's been called the best sense of humor in the whole of the Universe and has dominion over lightning. I'd like to introduce you to Archangel Barachiel. Let's get into it! Show Sources and Materials Meet Archangel Barachiel, Angel of Blessings from LearnReligions dot...

It's a comfort during these trying times to know that a fleet of angels led by Archangel Chamuel are there to help us all experience unconditional love. God, I love the idea of an army of love angels. I'll share about this angel, and later in the episode, confess my uglies. It's a message I share in love and with some shame. Let's get into it!

A candid conversation about  jinxes, curses and hexes. Is there a downside? I've been drawn to dive deep into the realm of curses, hexes, jinxes, and even some angry fist shaking after a road rage incident. These acts, some large, some tiny, come with ramifications. I explore what they are, if they can be used without repercussions, how to know if you are hexed, and give some alternatives to...

In celebration of Opening Day of Major League Baseball 2024, I recorded an episode in the middle of Denver's National Ballpark Museum with intern, Rebecca D'Arcey to share the story of the OTHER Jackie. We all know #42, Jackie Robinson, as well we should. But have you ever heard of the seventeen year old Jackie Mitchell? She struck out BOTH Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.  Like Jackie Robinson...

The angel Jophiel communicates with me through bursts of red-hot anger. She said we can work out a better way to talk to one another, but she's been using this method for years. Years! Yes, she's been working with me for my entire life, but I only learned her name two weeks ago. She is in charge of the cherubim, and is said to have witnessed the moment Adam and Eve were cast out of the G...

A few weeks back I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the Higher Side Chat. This particular episode centered around dreams, one of my lifelong favorite topics, and the guest is my honored guest today. His name is Daniel Rekshan and if you read his resume on INDEED, you might overlook half of his genius, at least. With a bachelors' from St. John's, a Master's in East-West...

This week, I fell into the topic after spotting so many strings of ones and twos, that I took notice. Still not knowing what message I was being sent by my angels and guides, I started obsessively looking at and tracking the Moon. And then, still not getting the message, I opened my Angels and Awakenings workbook, then skipped ahead because I wasn't feeling the Seraphim vibe (which was techin...

Do we all have the divine within? Are we different bandwidths of a great God radio? All major religions tell us that God is as close as our DNA strand. We are made in their image. We are God's hands and feet. What questions are scientists still trying to answer about the voids within each cell of our being? And what does that struggle tell us about the God within? Clutch those rosary beads, f...

This one is not for younger ears, and is not for the sensitive. This episode deals with a true and brutal crime perpetrated on my friend 30 years ago. I promise to tell it with love and compassion, to breeze (mostly) over the dirtbag that committed the crime, and share more about the woman he took from the prime of her life. (God, I hate that saying) If you're listening to this on Friday, the...

I was doing my morning minutes a few weeks ago and also thinking about AI. I'd brought up AI with members of my podcast network at a meeting and many expressed fear, and their ongoing attempt to keep a distance from this technology. It got me thinking about AI, and how it is being shaped, more specifically WHO is shaping it. If people like me, that lean more into crystals and astrology than,...
