Curious Cat Jennifer Hotes

Bothell Hell House is a case that any fan of Ghost Adventures knows. Travel Channel rolls it out once a year saying it was "debunked" by the GAC crew, somehow legitimizing the rest of the year's episodes. It is my opinion that they treated Keith Linder badly, that they willfully ignored evidence, evidence that in past episodes they'd used and stretched out to make an entire episode, and I was glad to give Mr. Linder a place to share his experience.

Keith Linder is an IT professional, a genuinely nice guy, and was not someone that consumed paranormal stuff before finding a house to rent off of Craigs List. Curiously, when he phoned the utility company to add his name to the bill, the person on the other end of the line mentioned people had moved in and out of that house in quick succession over the last few years.

It was the first of May, and they'd yet to pop the cork on a bottle of wine before a child's laughter would invade their home. The rest unfolded like a nightmare.

Take a deep breath with me. Breathe in fresh air down to your toes. Feel it swirl through your veins as it collects all that smoky, sticky energy that does not serve you. Now exhale. You may even cough for a few seconds afterwards.

2023 is teaching us to put ourselves first. Like the advisement we receive from airplane flight crews, it’s critically important we take a breath from the metaphorical oxygen mask first before we assist anyone else. That’s the lesson we have to learn, and master this year. Self-care comes first. 
I mention this, because I am STILL recovering from a flu I got in December. If I do too much, forget to drink water or rest when my body is screaming to stop, then the illness tries to come back. Even knowing this, I slip up. I forget myself. Take myself for granted. 

No angel embodies this better than Archangel Uriel. Haven’t heard of him? I hope after this episode you fall in love with this essential celestial being.
Uriel’s name
Well known to Russian Orthodox faithful, Uriel’s name translated to, “God is my flame.”
In the Gnostic book, the Secret Book of John, written by Zebadee’s son, and James’ brother, Uriel is said to be placed in charge of demons. He is the third angel named in the Testament of Solomon.  He is mentioned in the Second Book of Esdras, found in biblical apocrypha in which Ezra asks God a slew of questions and Uriel is sent by God to instruct him. 
In the Christian apocryphal gospels Uriel and his role differ depending on the source. In one, Uriel was critically important in the rescue of Jesus' cousin John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod. He carries John and his mother Saint Elizabeth to join the Holy Family after their Flight into Egypt. Their reunion is depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks.
If you haven’t seen this da Vinci painting, do a web search. It will be familiar. Uriel is seated on the right, has auburn curls and wears a gray and coral tunic of sorts. When I meditate and ask for Uriel’s protection, I visualize hi

In early February, I had the joy of talking with The Corvid Corner from TikTok. If you listened, then like me, you might've been blown away about the intelligence, loyalty and cleverness of crows.

As I confessed in the opening minutes of that episode, I haven't always been a bird fan. In fact, I suffered my first panic attack inside an aviary at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. I attribute it to too much Alfred Hitchcock as a kid, and not enough Mary Poppins. During the episode, I meant to share some of my early experiences with crows and how my love has grown, but a virus hijacked my brain, so this episode is a necessary supplement to the conversation.

Soon after becoming a mother, my heart changed. I saw those winged creatures like my babies, as delightful parts of our community.

I had a plan for this week, but then received a divine intervention. Two angels came forward in my morning minutes. And if you know anything about me by now, it's that I listen when the angels tell me something.

Alright, so full disclosure, this episode had a second intervention. I was going to focus this episode on Archangel Metatron. As I was wrapping up the outline and gearing up to record, I was hit with a feeling that this should be a joint episode on the Archangel brothers, Metatron and Sandalphon. It’s a natural, so I spent another half-day adding deeper research about the second of those archangels. THEN I had a dream. And that my dear listener is where I have to begin this episode.

https://www.christianity.com/wiki/angels-and-demons/who-is-metatron.html - This article goes on to say that it is suspect that he is an angel. First, they say, because he was a human first. Second, they say, because he is attributed with qualities and actions only Jesus and God could have. Though, I have to push back and say that the most pure of heart Christians, the Ethiopian Christians, include the Book of Enoch in their Bible. I wonder if this is about their Jesus-narrative being usurped by Metatron/Enoch? That’s pure speculation on my part.

But, she's also in perpetual pursuit of knowledge. I can't wait to learn more. Welcome to Curious Cat, Scarlet!
Tarot, the occult, the Rosicrucian Order, you are such an intriguing person, Scarlet! Tell us about yourself!

If you listened to my interview with comedian and tarot reader, Karen Rontowski, then you have at least a cursory knowledge of Edgar Cayce – who was also known as the Sleeping Prophet and father of holistic medicine. I learned about him on an episode of the Art Bell tapes and ordered, There is a River by Thomas Sugrue, his only authorized biography, and immediately began to read it.

Born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky on March 18th, 1877, in his youth, after studying the Bible for days on end, Edgar Cayce says an angel appeared to him and said that if he slept, he could learn anything. He told his mother about the strange encounter, but no one else. Then as a pupil in the local schoolhouse, Edgar struggled to learn his lessons. When his uncle served a short stint as the teacher, he reported Edgar’s father, Leslie, what a bad student his nephew was. Angry and ashamed, Leslie hit the boy after he failed to learn his spelling lessons. Edgar then recalled the angelic visitor’s words. He asked his father to let him rest for a few minutes and the boy did so, sleeping on the spelling book. When he woke, he had his father test him and they were both shocked when Edgar had a photographic memory of the entire reader’s contents.
