High Strangeness

Chris Knowles will be joining us tonight for the first time on the My Family Thinks I’m Crazy Podcast. As a huge fan of The Higherside Chats Podcast, I initially came across Chris through his interviews with Greg Carlwood. I was immediately fascinated by everything Chris had to share, especially the “Siren Saga” those unfamiliar should stop everything and visit the THC podcast and listen to those episodes.

Chris sifts through the veiled symbolism within pop culture and entertainment, he reads between the lines and finds synchronistic and esoteric patterns that reveal a connective tissue between the real and the unreal to expose a larger fortean truth. This “Blog” or Extension of the show from here on out known as the MFTIC Soul Lab was partly inspired by Chris Knowles’ own Blog https://secretsun.blogspot.com/

There are so many items of interest that I’d like to bring to Chris’ attention considering our time is limited I will share within this post some topics or areas of discussion that I hope to touch on in our conversation, But first check out this Weird Cocteau Twins Music Video

Another strange music video that Chris has analyzed to reveal a larger pattern that i hope to get into on this episode
Side Note Crowley is involved somehow See TFH episode 377 to understand why that relevant to me

In this episode I said that I hadn’t yet found any direct evidence to prove that Crowley committed any crimes against children within the context of occult ritual I am not an authority on crowley just a curious mind with an interest in esoteric history yet in a swell of synchronism the plot thickens, while re-listening to The Higherside Chats With Chris Knowles, specifically the Heaven and Las Vegas episode linked above. i was reminded of my trip to the Used bookstore this morning something compelled me to look through the pages of Snowdrops by Aleister Crowley. I skimmed to a page with only the word JUVENILIA. What followed was a disturbing “erotic” Paederastic relationship between a ship captain and a boy. The Book can be found at the following link.

I plan on Asking Chris about this topic in general for two reasons
a. because it is interesting and b. because I am earnestly interested in finding the truth about Crowley and exposing him for his crimes if that means my statements in TFH episode 377 were wrong then so be it, the truth is what matters.

Sirens and death[edit]

Odysseus and the Sirens, Roman mosaic, second century AD (Bardo National Museum)

Statues of Sirens in a funerary context are attested since the classical era, in mainland Greece, as well as Asia Minor and Magna Graecia. The so-called “Siren of Canosa”—Canosa di Puglia is a site in Apulia that was part of Magna Graecia—was said to accompany the dead among grave goods in a burial. She appeared to have some psychopomp characteristics, guiding the dead on the afterlife journey. The cast terracotta figure bears traces of its original white pigment. The woman bears the feet, wings and tail of a bird. The sculpture is conserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Spain, in Madrid.Miniature illustration of a Siren enticing sailors who try to resist her, from an English Bestiary, c. 1235

The Sirens were called the Muses of the lower world. Classical scholar Walter Copland Perry (1814–1911) observed: “Their song, though irresistibly sweet, was no less sad than sweet, and lapped both body and soul in a fatal lethargy, the forerunner of death and corruption.”[45] Their song is continually calling on Persephone.

The term “siren song” refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad conclusion. Later writers have implied that the Sirens were cannibals, based on Circe‘s description of them “lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones.”[46] As linguist Jane Ellen Harrison (1850–1928) notes of “The Ker as siren”: “It is strange and beautiful that Homer should make the Sirens appeal to the spirit, not to the flesh.”[47] The siren song is a promise to Odysseus of mantic truths; with a false promise that he will live to tell them, they sing,” (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology) )
