Here is the conclusion of my epic conversation with Michael Wann of Susquehanna Alchemy and Mark Palmer of My Family Thinks I'm Crazy. Part I was dominated by Michael and myself as well set the stage by recounting Eastern Pennsylvania's VAST history of high strangeness. Everything from the Rosicrucians, alternate reality games, the Knights of Malta, and their pretenders turned up in that discussion.


Here, we refine our focus to three specific communities along the PA/DE border: Media and Rose Valley on the PA side, Arden on the DE side. These communities are all right next to one another while Rose Valley and Arden were founded by the same milieu around William Lightfoot Price. These communities are also right next to Wilmington, DE, the longtime stronghold of the DuPont family and the home base of Joe Biden. Philadelphia is less than an hour away. To characterize this region as a major power center would be  gross understatement.


Which is why it's especially interesting that all three of these communities were supposedly based around socialist principles adopted from the British Arts and Crafts movement. And yet, they turn up in a fair amount of intrigues as well. Media was at the center of exposing the FBI's COINTELPRO to the American public. You'll never believe what we learned on that end. Some of the longtime public servants in Rose Valley have equally curious CVs as well.


And that's just scratching the surface. Mark and Mike ventured to Media earlier in an event featuring incredible synchs with Kobe Bryant's death. Rose Valley's strange theater witnessed the debut of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, whose wife died under bizarre circumstances linked to David Lynch's Lost Highway. In fact, David Lynch has his own strange connections to this region, as does Frank Lloyd Wright and a variety of other figures you've heard mentioned on The Farm a time or two. This is an epic discussion that cuts to the heart of how magick truly works in the real world. As always, I hope you guys enjoy.

Khalil Gibran is great! Not obscure at all really. Read The Prophet at my Catholic all girls high school. But yeah, you should def check it out.

Vincent Treewell

He was an absolutely fascinating, very syncretic writer and thinker, in part, I believe, because he was Sufi in Lebanon, at a time when multiple denomintions of Islam were friends and neighbors with Christians, Jews, Druze, Alawites, etc. He's deep and insightfull.
