Ep. 22. Bob Osborne on Crowley, Lawrence, and the Huxleys: Witchcraft, Sex, Spies, Nazis, & Fabians

EP. 25. Owls aren't THAT big Dad!

In this episode I discuss my weird encounter with what appeared to be a HUGE owl, back in 2013, and its portent effect on my life. I'm not the first to have experienced something odd like this, and I'm sure these encounters are on-going around the world. As to what they represent, I'm no wiser, all I do know is that my life changed in so many ways in the months and years that followed my sighting. Are they aliens from outer space? Inter-dimensional? Spiritual? A figment of my imagination? A part of my wider consciousness? Have a listen to this episode, sleep on it, and then make up your own mind. As I mention in this episode, these strange encounters are not as rare as you might imagine. Something is happening to those of us who are receptive to whatever these owls represent. For me the meeting at the crossroads that night was life-changing.....

Ep. 24. The Legend of the Lost Land of Lyonesse

This episode is a thorough investigation of The legend of the lost land of Lyonesse, a mythical land that may have sat off the coast of Cornwall many, many years ago. No one is sure that the place ever existed, let alone sank, but there are tantalising little bits of evidence, both historical and geological. Do I solve the mystery? Listen and find out, you might enjoy my journey of discovery! If you do enjoy the episode, please tell your friends and family, anyone who may have an interest in Cornwall, legends, mysteries,folklore etc etc. Please also share the episode on your social media, thank you!

Ep. 23. Faeries, Mushrooms, Bees, and Gremlins, with Jack Hunter, Ph. D.

I had a short but fascinating conversation with Dr Jack Hunter. Along the way we talked about his personal encounters with the fae, his PhD studies on trance mediumship, his mushroom trips, bees, hoverflies, gremlins, and the folklore of his home region, the Tanat Valley, nestled amongst the lofty mountains of mid-Wales, amongst many other topics. It was fun, I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed our conversation. Be lucky!

Ep. 22. Bob Osborne on Crowley, Lawrence, and the Huxleys: Witchcraft, Sex, Spies, Nazis, & Fabians

In this episode, Bob Osborne shines a light on the far west of Cornwall, a place that has influenced YOUR life, whether you know it or not, through the gifted intellectuals and artists who were once lured there by its strange unearthly magnetism. A place where Aleister Crowley, D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, Frieda Von Richtofen, and many other world famous artists, writers, and musicians, once lived, loved, and, as Bob Osborne says in his book, 'Zennor, Spirt of Place', wreaked havoc! The world we live in today was hugely influenced by these talented people. Enjoy!

Ep. 21. The Grim Reaper

This is an amusing, weird, but, I assure you, true story, a small part of an auto-biography I'm publishing in the next few months, to be called, 'Surf 'n' Turf', but be forewarned, it's an unconventional auto-biography! If you enjoy it, I would appreciate you sharing with all your friends/on social media etc, and please subscribe too. Thanks for listening, and.....'Be Lucky!
