  • The Gospel of Judas
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we plunge deep into the Gospel of Judas, a gnostic manuscript which was lost for centuries, only to be recovered just a short time ago. While it’s true meaning is still argued over by scholars, we take on the challenge from an occult perspective and analyze the parts within using wisdom from both the Bible and ancient Egyptian religion. In the free section of the show we discuss the Kabbalistic symbolism behind the thirty pieces of silver that Judas received to sell Jesus out, tell the harrowing tale of how the missing codex was hidden from the public until only recently and the controversial heresies contained within the gospel.  In the extended version of the episode we continue our analysis of the text and see where it lines up with the wisdom in the Gospel of Thomas and begin to unpack the contents as they pertain to Jewish mysticism, gnostic cosmology and even a hint of modern day conspiracy theory. What exactly does it mean when Jesus elevates Judas above the other disciples and does that mean Judas really gets a happy ending to his story or not? Stay tuned in to find out, thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss:The Favorite DiscipleHistory of the TextZecharia and the 30 Pieces of SilverIrenaeus: Against Heresies The Gospel of MaryReading the Text Jewish and Egyptian Bread Rituals…The Disciples Become AngryAgainst MartyrdomThe Barbello The Holy Generation?In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go much further and discuss:The Description of the End Times No Rituals!

  • Poltergeist! The Black Monk of Pontefract w/Tim Hacker of The Cryptic Chronicles Podcast
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! Listen to the full episode here!In this week’s episode we finally dive into the story of arguably the United Kingdom’s most powerful haunting; the case of The Black Monk of Pontefract. With Tim Hacker of the Cryptic Chronicles Podcast (www.CrypticChronicles.com), our story begins when the Farrar family purchased a new home built over land with a dark history only to be driven away when they realized their baby might be in danger. When the Pritchard's moved in shortly after, it would not be long until their world too would be turned completely upside down. With activity so powerful it could reliably spook a hardened skeptic there were times the Pritchard's even feared for their life. In the extended show we discuss the spectacular fall-out from the ill-fated exorcism the family performed and some of the most remarkable instances of high-strangeness ever recorded which shortly followed, often characterized by religious themes. Near the end we discuss if the Black Monk is truly a poltergeist, a ghost, an Elemental or even a demon while exploring a number of the psycho-spiritual factors which likely made the activity so potent and what finally stopped it. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss:What is a Poltergeist?The Enfield Poltergeist vs. The Black Monk of Pontefract Local History The Farrar Family EncountersAdolescent TriggersThe Pritchard Family EncountersAn Intelligent HauntingThe Ghost Chose Violence In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole to discuss:What is Apportation?19 Mysterious KeysScaring Away The PriestCan You Exorcize a Poltergeist?? The Sticking CrucifixApportation Of the EggsFlying FurnitureThe Manipura ChakraAppearance To ManifestationThe Hollywood MovieWhat Scared The Ghost Away??Demon, Ghost, Poltergeist or Elemental? Each host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.
