Real Curses, Witchcraft Initiations, and the Horrifying History of New Orleans

MallWorld, CIA Dream Experiments, and the Terrifying Reality of Fairies

Askia and professional witch Celeste break down shared dream experiments, government psychic programs, and the original terrifying lore behind fairies. They dig into MallWorld, a hyper-specific 1980s shopping mall thousands of people across the globe claim to dream about, and how Celeste ran a 1,000-person psychic experiment to test it. Plus: CIA psyops, the GATE program conspiracy, lucid dreaming herbs, and why you should never say 'thank you' to a fairy. ______________________________ Follow Celeste! https://www.instagram.com/celestemott https://www.celestemott.com Special thanks to the Abita Springs Hotel for hosting our podcast! https://www.abitaspringshotel.com SUBMIT YOUR SHORT SCARY STORIES: https://forms.gle/sQJhS31p7oMoG9tv6 Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Celeste's viral TikTok lucid dreaming experiments kicked off 2026 with a bang: over 1,000 people tried to psychically meet inside Mall World on the same night using a meditation guide, a sigil, and the symbol of moths and butterflies. The results? Hard to explain away. From there, the conversation goes deep: declassified CIA programs like Project Stargate and MK Ultra, the GATE school program conspiracy (pink liquid, audio tone tests, and psychically implanted dream spaces), and the science behind why your brain invents disgusting bathrooms in your sleep. Celeste also breaks down how to actually achieve lucid dreaming. Askia opens up about years of childhood nightmares, and Celeste shares why just talking about your dreams out loud might make them stop. The back half goes full folklore: fairies aren't cute. Original European and Irish fairy lore describes them as dangerous, amoral beings, and spirits of the dead, land entities, or ancient Celtic royalty. Celeste ties fairy sightings to UFO encounters and angelic visitations, then closes with strict rules of engagement: if you see one, pretend you didn't. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - The MallWorld shared dream phenomenon 18:55 - CIA dream experiments 26:24 - Are dreams a connection to the spirit world? 27:56 - How to lucid dream 36:38 - The real reason behind recurring nightmares 43:40 - Why fairies are worse than you think 48:11 - Are all paranormal phenomena the SAME THING? 52:52 - Separating reality from the paranormal

Dark Witchcraft, Real Life Cults, and the Vampiric Energy of New Orleans

Askia sits down with witch and returning guest Celeste Mott live from New Orleans. They expose a real vampire cult that tried to get this episode taken down, dive into cursed candles, spirits wearing masks, shotgun house ghosts, and the vampiric energy grid of the French Quarter. Then they get brutally honest about mental illness, self-harm, addiction, and the line between paranormal experiences and spiritual psychosis. ______________________________ Follow Celeste! https://www.instagram.com/celestemott https://www.celestemott.com Special thanks to the Abita Springs Hotel for hosting our podcast! https://www.abitaspringshotel.com SUBMIT YOUR SHORT SCARY STORIES: https://forms.gle/sQJhS31p7oMoG9tv6 Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ The cult is real. The cult is culting. After Celeste's first appearance on the show, members of her former vampire cult contacted Askia demanding the episode come down. Instead of folding, Askia doubled down and brought Celeste back for round two. This episode goes deep. Celeste breaks down how she builds a spirit court, what happened when she slapped a tree during a solstice ritual and found the letter 'A' carved in bark, and why spirits wear masks to manipulate practitioners. She walks through two of the most concrete paranormal encounters she's ever had: a full-body apparition witnessed by two people simultaneously, and a witch candle she bought locally that invited a skeletal shadow entity AND a ghost into her bedroom the same night. Then it gets personal. Celeste opens up about the fine line between schizophrenia and spiritual psychosis and how the vampiric energy of the French Quarter can keep you addicted. The episode wraps with major red flags for identifying cults and high-control groups, and a teaser on Celeste's viral TikTok lucid dreaming experiments inside a shared dreamscape called Mall World.
