    "Arcane Answers" hosts Lare, Amanda, and Sara delve into the darker side of fairy folklore, moving beyond modern benevolent portrayals. The episode opens with a listener's unique "soul slipping" experience, sparking a brief paranormal investigation. The hosts explore historical beliefs, noting how fairies once explained unexplainable misfortunes, and discuss the famous 1917 Cottingley Fairies hoax that even fooled Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sara details the Scottish fairy courts: the benevolent Seelie Court (brownies, pixies, hobgoblins) who aid humans, and the malicious Unseelie Court (kelpies, banshees, Bogarts) known for harming humans and stealing children due to their inability to reproduce. Protection against fairies includes plant-based remedies, food offerings, and especially iron and steel, considered their "Kryptonite." Amanda then covers the traumatic history of changelings, where fairies swapped human children for various reasons, including prestige or servitude. Parents, identifying changelings by sickness or behavioral changes, often resorted to abusive "tests" to force the return of their "real" child, a practice linked to Christian demonic lore.

    In this episode of Arcane Answers, we dive into the fascinating world of modern Spiritualism and its connection to the psychic movement. We trace its origins back to the mid-1800s and the famous Fox sisters, exploring how their claims of communicating with spirits sparked a widespread interest in séances and mediums. We also discuss famous mediums like Daniel Dunglas Home, Florence Cook, and Eusapia Palladino, and touch on the eventual decline of Spiritualism in the 20th century and its evolution into parapsychology and the New Age movement, CIA experiments, and more.

    Arcane Answers delves into the strange and unethical experiments conducted by the CIA during the Cold War, driven by the fear of "brainwashing" and the desperate pursuit of any advantage over the Soviet Union. The experiments ranged from mind control attempts using drugs and hypnosis to paranormal investigations and bizarre schemes like weaponizing animals. The episode also draws parallels between these experiments and themes explored in a previous episode, such as manipulation and the blurring of reality and perception.

    Reincarnation and Walk-ins
    2025/05/23
    This episode of Arcane Answers, with Lara, Amanda, and Sarah, explores the profound mysteries of the soul, focusing on reincarnation and "walk-ins." The hosts delve into the concept of "walk-ins," where a new soul is believed to enter a physical body after the original soul departs, often following traumatic experiences or NDEs. This phenomenon is often linked to a "higher mission" for the new soul. The discussion traces this idea to the New Age movement, referencing authors like Ruth Montgomery and Dolores Cannon. The episode then introduces James "Jim" Matlock's "processional soul theory," which suggests disincarnated consciousness can interact with the living through psychic abilities, leading to shared memories or even influencing pregnant individuals' cravings. A captivating historical case from 1877 involving Mary Roff and Mary Lawrence is presented as an example of "temporary possession." Finally, the discussion touches on the scientific study of reincarnation at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, founded by Ian Stevenson. This research focuses on children who recall past lives, often with corroborating details and even birthmarks matching violent deaths, highlighting the ongoing scientific inquiry into these spiritual phenomena.
