Members Preview | 652: Ancient Dogmen
In episode 652: Ancient Dogmen, Seth Vandebrooke joins for a mind blowing show, in which he unravels the untold history of the Cynocephali, or dog-headed men, in a captivating exploration that spans over 3,300 years. He dives into the depiction of these creatures on the 16th-century Piri Reis map and scrutinizes ancient texts that debate their human or animal nature. Seth discusses how these beings are one of the most thoroughly documented cryptids, connecting them to the Nephilim of biblical lore. He also examines the Catholic Church's discourse on the potential salvation of these creatures through Christ. Highlighting the importance of historical narratives, Seth challenges the dismissal of the Cynocephali as mere myths. He references works like Herodotus' Histories and Hittite cuneiform tablets that document the Cynocephali's integration into rituals and worship. Seth's discussion also ties these dog-headed figures to the three races mentioned in the Book of Jubilees and Enoch, suggesting a deeper, perhaps obscured connection to the Nephilim and exploring why these narratives might have been suppressed.

On Episode 260: Ghosts, Aliens, Bigfoot, and Enoch, we talk to two different people about their experiences. First,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3b4tTY9bss on the show, Karl shares with us about a Victorian-era entity he used to see, as well as what seems to be an extraterrestrial encounter. This leads to a conversation about abductions and even bigfoot. Following Karl’s interview, we speak to Emma who was visited by a shadow man for upwards of six years, and whose encounters would last for hours! As we talk, we get on the topic of the extra-canonical book called ‘Enoch’ and what that book entails.

649: Lilith and The Fallen
In episode 649: Lilith and The Fallen, Bo, from The Bump Podcast, dives into the mystifying legend of Lilith, a figure steeped in demonic lore and occult mysteries. Historically referenced in arcane sources like the Zohar and the Babylonian Talmud, Lilith's narrative intertwines with the saga of the Fallen, or Watchers—celestial beings who defied the heavens by mating with mortal women, imparting to them esoteric wisdom and advanced technologies. Portrayed as a succubus, a vampire, and the sinister strangler of infants, Bo explains Lilith's dark allure, which is, magnified by her association with owls, creatures symbolizing her mysterious and nocturnal nature.
Bo weaves personal stories into his exploration, emphasizing the critical role of spiritual warfare and the transformative power of prayer in confronting these supernatural entities. Tony then proposes that the infamous Mothman might be a contemporary embodiment of Lilith's enduring spirit, while they both speculate that Bigfoot represents an Eliud, direct descendants of the Nephilim lineage. They then discuss chilling testimonials from those who claim encounters with Bigfoot-like beings, reinforcing the need for meticulous research and study to unravel these profound mysteries and to share this hidden knowledge with confidence and clarity.
