Join Paul and Stephen on a wild ride through forgotten lore, secret societies, and the mystical world of alchemy recorded live at @Spotify Studios in Los Angeles!
Our hosts join forces with special guest Jim Gavin, creator of Lodge 49 and novelist extraordinaire. The trio unravels the hidden links between the Masons and the Templars, delving into their evolution from Europe’s first bankers to whispered accusations of witchcraft and Satanism.
But that’s just the beginning! Jim sheds light on the two faces of alchemy-philosophical and chemical-guiding us through the quest for the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. Plus, meet Paracelsus, the eccentric Swiss wanderer who swapped cow dung for cleanliness in medicine and became a pioneer of modern hygiene.
And if you think that’s wild, wait until you hear about the bizarre first step to creating life-using petrified sperm, a gourd, and a horse’s womb to make a homunculus! Curious? You should be.
