Joining me for this interview is Stephanie Quick. She had a near death experience, or NDE, at the age of 21 and it had a profound effect on her life. Since then she has explored and experienced a wide range of high strangeness. And more importantly, she is dedicated to helping others understand these types of experiences, which is far easier said than done. She is the writer and blogger exploring these subjects and many more.
This is the second part of my discussion with Stephanie concerning human sacrifice. Using Patrick Tierney's classic work The Highest Altar as a starting point, we expand into a wide-ranging discussion. Everything from Colonia Dignidad to George Hunt Williamson, and Adolfo Constanzo is on the table.
But the meat (har har) of the discussion again centers around the ongoing legacy of human sacrifice. Here, we really get into traditions of it among the Inca and Mapuche people before getting into the recurring theme of water in human sacrifice across the world. We also engage in a fascinating discussion of the grimoires widely associated with human sacrifice in Latin America, most notably the semi-mythical Black, White and Red books.
Inevitably, things end with us discussing werewolves. Find out about this tradition's origins in Arcadia and the mythical Mount Lykaion. Why did Zeus reject this spot in favor of Olympus?
