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.
