Black Cat Report
Recent Episodes
Masters of Chaos, "Tricksters," live across cultures and time, dancing along the fine line between ancient mythology and modern-day mysteries.
These shape-shifting entities, from Anansi to Veles to Coyote, exist in the liminal space between science and superstition, folklore and fact.
Join us for a chaotic collaboration as we dive deep into the world of Tricksters with special guest Kristen from the Paranorm Girl Podcast @paranormgirlpod
Together, we'll explore the multifaceted roles these mythical beings play as advocates for nature and harbingers of change and their surprising connections to contemporary phenomena like UFOs, Bigfoot, fairies, tulpas, and egregores.
