Professor Jon F. White from Crecganford returns to cover the topic of the great serpent. Yes, dragons. Were they always dragons? Turns out probably not. Snakes are the original universal human boogeyman. There's all sorts of evidence for that proposition. But the myths support this too. The snake and the oldest dragons have more in common than the fire breathing children of Kalesi or Smog from Tolkien fame. What did these serpents represent whether guardian or enemy? As usual, we traverse the world and back to survey various myths and analyze when and why snakes turned into some form of larger, more terrible reptile, and ultimately into what we all picture when we utter "dragon". Where does fire breathing come from? What did St.George slay? How does using a cow's head as fishing bait relate to Thor's epic end? Plus, a few sidetracks and backtracks.

The Garden welcomes back Professor Richard Spence to do deeper dives into some of the well known historic occult groups. From the Essenes to the Freemasons, we touch on many well known groups or schools of thought, and try to draw throughlines where possible. We also discuss some popular media and a bit of fact checking. Is there a direct connection between the Cathars and Templars? What was the relationship between the Templars and the Assassins? We touch on our old friends, the Gnostics. Is Mary connected to the Cult of Isis? What did Dan Brown do and not do? In this almost 2200 year survey, we hit a lot.
Professor Spence is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Idaho. He has authored several books and has presented the lectures for several The Great Courses. -
Dr. Edwin Barnhart of the Maya Exploration Center. You know him from Season 2 of Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse, Earth Ancients and the ArcheoEd podcast. He previously dazzled us with information about Mezoamerica. Today, the working topic was the Incas. And we did cover the Incas. But we also covered some of the prior peoples. Covered the religions and the continuity of beliefs. We talk about the topics from the Vera Cocha to Camelids. Who built those roads? How old is Machu Picchu? What are Ed's thoughts on Archeology versus Hancockians? As always, we meander with unplanned purpose and uncover items that you want to hear.

We welcome back Professor Michael York to discuss Canaanite Gods. This includes the Israelites, Akkadians, Babylonians, and others. Due to proximity, we venture a bit into Sumeria, Egypt, Vedic India and beyond. We even touch upon Hittites, Minoans and Sea Peoples. But it's mostly Yahweh versus Ba'al with a dash of Inanna and Ashura, and other easy to pronounce names. Along the way we discuss soime recurring themes like evil baby eating Gods to matriarchal godheads versus patriarchal godheads. Somewhere along the line, Margorie Taylor Green came up. Oh my! Anyway, you don't want to miss this regional Gods discussion, which had earlier roots and ramifications that continue today.
And I wasn't crazy about AI and translation. The Professor found this afterwards https://www.hellenic.org.au/post/the-babylonian-engine#:~:text=The%20AI%20model%20was%20trained,and%20from%20cuneiform%20symbols%20directly. -
Keegan Dimitrijevic is of Serbian descent, is born and raised in Canada, Studies towards his Masters in Indigenous literature, and has trained with the likes of Seth Rollins and Josh Alexander as he is a working professional wrestler. From the history of Canadian colonization related to the indigenous, to an overview of the Nations, we discuss many items. Dimitrijevic indicated I asked hard hitting, good questions. I botched my chance to call it Podcast Strong Style. We covered mystical beings like the Wendigo. We discussed religious and spiritual items. What's a Totem? Is Rush good or do we all pretend they're good? Is Alpha Flight a lame super team? Do the Northern Lights and aerial phenomenon influence Indigenous beliefs? We even discuss some wrestling. But mostly the academic pursuits and my typical questions.

Jeff and MLW's Mr. Thomas bring you the Gospel of Thomas while PJ is on assignment (OK, he was in Vegas). We bring you the Syren's Song. Syren wrestled for 21 years. Since then, she became ordained while following witchcraft. She is a good witch and does a show with another witch, who is also an empath and psychic. She tells us about her journey from wrestling to witch. As always, Thomas asks the questions we all need answers to.

Jennifer Sutherland is an award winning poet, author and attorney. Perhaps most importantly, she's a multi time guest in the Garden. Christmas is filled with joys and iconic movies and specials that we've cherished for generations. And a lot of them are creepy, concerning and a little terrifying. We visit some of those in this show. Like the Ghosts of Dickensian fame, we take you to your various stages and wrestle with these properties and our relationships with them. From Wooden Soldiers to Santa Claus, no one is completely spared.

God provides for the blind vulture. The tarantula doesn't toil. White roosters. The Golden Rule. The reap what you sow. Some of these sound familiar. Some probably do not. However, all are aspects of African proverbs. Our guest this episode. Chris Moorehouse, wrote a landmark book entitled "Legacy: Wisdom of African Traditions and the Bible. Moorehouse investigated the proverbs over numerous peoples and languages throughout Africa and the results speak for themselves. We discuss those aspects and I successfully divert him into some tangents and meanderings of my own.
Chris Morehouse holds a Master’s of Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh, where he focused on economic and social development in Africa. He has long admired the way that African proverbs encapsulate profound wisdom in vivid ways. A legacy for all, African proverbs often accord with Judeo-Christian teachings. He serves as a deacon at Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, where he lives with his family.

We're joined this week by Bernie Taylor. Call it confirmation bias if you like, but I got a lot of validation in this episode. Taylor takes us through cave art found around the pillars of Hercules, among other places, to document the earliest zodiac found. From that and knowledge of which animals are represented, he put together the story which might be the first story. We follow the hero through the horizon and the directions, to reveal the heroe's journey. Perhaps the holy or noble diver. The origin of the winged gods, the mer-gods, cerebus, most of the labors of Hercules. And, if you listen carefully, you'll probably hear echoes of Gilgamesh and Beowulf and life emerging from mountains or turning into natural features. The real lack of Atlantis might also be established. We go back at least 34,000 years to answer many of the questions we've been asking for eras.

Jim Viera has been everywhere in alternative history and archeology circles. He refers to himself as a non dogmatic centrist. Jim Vieira is a stonemason, author, explorer and host of the History Channel shows "Search for the Lost Giants" (2014) "Roanoke: Search for the Lost Colony" (2015) and "Return to Roanoke: Search the Seven" (2016). He is also co-author of Giants on Record with Hugh Newman. He's done many videos with his brother and has worked with Andrew Collins, among others.
We started with Edgar Cayce and his visions. From there we discussed more or less everything. From political philosophy to Zacharia Sitchin, to the androgenous mercreatures of so many pre-history to early history cultures. In there, we visited upon the Tepes, the ages of men and only men. Where legends and myths might be used for racist propaganda. Of course we discussed giants, polydactyls, and megalyths. -
What is a synomym for a red line? Perhaps, a border. What is "The Red Line"? It's the gold standard for geopolitical podcasts. Mike Hilliard, the host of "The Red Line" re-enters the Garden for his most recent visit to the Garden multiverse. When you have a premier expert in international geopolitics, of course you ask for some quick hits on minor issues like the Syrian Regime, Russian hypersonic missiles, North Korean adventurism, the world reacts to a Trump re-election, etc. But our main event is bribery. What's the etiquette of international bribery if you are hypothetically an international war correspondent who needs to make it from Turkey to Tajiskitan? What shouldn't Australian citizen journalists do when confronted by Iranian police? Who do you talk to at the borders? And, of course, more. Don't try this at hom...abroad. This is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
