Synchroninterviews in the Wyrd World: Witchcraft and World Affairs ft. James Cassidy

Welcome to our conversation! James Cassidy of Cassidy Research & Photographic Services and I have been discussing culture, witchcraft, quantum magic, art, and philosophy for almost 20 years, and I’m grateful that we have been able to begin recording our talks for posterity. This recording is but an entrypoint to the wide-weaving and deep-diving talks on these topics that we hope to be sharing more of in the future.

In this pod-cast we….

1. Introduce what the Burning Times were, point out that they are conveniently left out of most European history primers, and discuss why they are so important to discuss in today’s context

2. Discuss the faulty logic used by the Spanish Inquisition and the Catholic Church to outsource internal discomfort in the form of selective killings

3. Demand a formal apology from the Catholic Church for the application of the Malleus Maleficarum

4. Discuss how lies become accepted truth by propaganda techniques

5. Intersections of these topics with the current war on Ukraine

6. Faulty overapplication of binary thinking

7. Literacy and the Printing Press, modern Internet, etc

8. Anti-intellectualism in contemporary society

9. More and many points to fill in the gaps

We hope that you enjoy this talk and that you stay tuned for more.
