***NOT A PRO-SETH EPISODE*** [disclaimer below] About this episode: Dive into the wild, chaotic whirlpool of New Age spirituality, ancient god theories, and some seriously puzzling readings! On Episode 114 of the Black Cat Report, we unravel the mysteries and absurdities surrounding Jane Roberts' "Seth Speaks" and its profound (read: verbose and repetitive) impact on the New Age movement. Gil and Joey, joined by Kristen from the Paranorm Girl Podcast, take you on a hilarious, skeptic-fueled journey through bizarre theories and tantalizing tangents. Ever wondered if ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics had punctuation marks or if communicating with the dead could become your nightly routine? We cover that—and more—while dissecting Seth's ramblings and tackling the enigmatic essence of the soul. Context takes a back seat as we discuss quirky life philosophies and marvel at how a book that sold millions managed to leave us more confused than enlightened. Enjoy a comedic exploration of maniacal New Age beliefs, with Joey contemplating tattoos and Gil fantasizing about being a trickster god. Hear Kristen share why she's drawn to manifesting while still keeping a skeptical edge. So, whether you're in it for the laughs or the philosophical deep dives, Episode 114 is one roller-coaster you won't want to miss. Trust us, when we say we’ve got stuff in the works, it'll be worth the ride! And don't forget to send in those Western North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee hurricane conspiracy theories—we're all ears!

https://ghost.beer/join From the infamous Affair of the Diamond Necklace and Marie Antoinette's involvement, to how Saint Germain's warnings about the downfall of the monarchy came true. The conversation then shifts to Saint Germain's connection to Thomas Mesmer and his influence on the development of hypnotism and personal magnetism. In this part of the conversation, Gil and Joey discuss Saint Germain's encounter with Bavarian soldiers during World War I. They speculate on Saint Germain's motivations and the possibility that he couldn't control where he ended up in time. Count Saint Germain's mysterious appearances throughout history, including dining with the Council of Trent, inspiring the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and meeting Guy Ballard to start the I Am Activity cult. The image of Saint Germain with Madame Blavatsky is a drawing, not a real photo. The Ascended Masters are beings who go beyond human potential and drive the evolution of humanity. Saint Germain's involvement in historical events is often accompanied by strange occurrences, such as fires destroying evidence. Herbert, Saint Germain's comedic copilot, adds humor to the narrative. In this part of the conversation, Joey and Gil discuss the theory that Count Saint Germain was the wandering Jew and the connection to Nicholas Flamel, the alchemist who created the Philosopher's Stone. They also joke about opening a falafel restaurant called The Philosopher's Stone and a hummus restaurant called We're All Humans and Hummus. Saint Germain, also known as Nicholas Flamel, may have been a time traveler who appeared throughout European history. He was a jack of all trades and generally looked upon as a nice person. However, he didn't actively try to help humanity with his time travels. He tried to warn some people about future events, but it didn't work out. Eventually, he gave up and started partying with his friends, sharing stories of the historical events he witnessed. Saint Germain's story is a reminder that life is about enjoying the present and creating memories with loved ones.

Our Patreon: https://bcr.bio/support This week we went deep into the wild life and times of Count Saint Germain—seriously, it’s like this guy was living in a historical action-adventure flick. From time-traveling antics to secret peace talks and political intrigue, Saint Germain’s life was far from boring! Saint Germain wasn’t just your average storyteller; he was flinging around wisdom that had people scratching their heads in utter amazement. Imagine chatting with someone who’s supposedly 45 but knows way too much for his age. We kicked things off with his involvement in peace talks between King Louis XV and England, which, of course, ended in major political drama and the king ultimately giving him the boot. Even after he warned the king about France losing its New World territories to England, no one took him seriously—bummer. One of the more eyebrow-raising moments was our chat about the "Le Marchant box" or "cage of desire." It’s some kind of pleasure-inducing object, and yeah, we had our fair share of laughs and innuendos about that one. Plus, we couldn’t ignore how talented he was—50 musical compositions! The man was a one-man symphony. Things get even more intriguing with the whole immortality or time travel theory, especially since he looked like he hadn’t aged a day for decades. His travels to Persia and India? Just another layer of his knowledge about nature, precious stones, and gem manipulation. Legend has it he could even turn flawed diamonds into something more valuable—alchemy at its finest. His Russian escapades were straight out of a spy novel. He was involved with Catherine the Great and even disguised himself as a Russian general. Can’t forget about the drama around his supposed death in 1784 either—people aren’t convinced he actually died, which leaves us all scratching our heads and eager for part two. Our episode was packed with all this intrigue, sprinkled with some of our usual banter and pop culture shoutouts. We even shared some behind-the-scenes fun for our Patreon fam and managed to chat about Colonel Sanders and mashed potatoes. Because, why not? So, what did we learn? Count Saint Germain’s story is a wild mix of myth, history, and a ton of “wait, what?” moments. He’s a legend for a reason, and we’re just getting started. Stick around for part two—this ride is far from over!
