The Hidden Origins of Common Phrases

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we break out the military-grade thesaurus and embark down the long, winding road back to the shadowy origins from which some of our most common turns of phrase originate, illuminating their esoteric origins and what exactly they meant in the first place. On the free side of the show we pull back the curtain to explore exactly how many phrases we use in everyday life that secretly go back to the Fraternal Order of Free Masons! There’s a lot. In the extended side of the show we explore the multitude of common phrases that go back to the bible and a few others that are so ancient we don’t even know at all. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this episode we discuss:Getting the Third DegreeHoodwinkedFair and SquarePlumbOn The LevelBlack BalledSpill The BeansBurry The HatchetPowowIn the extended side of the show (available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit) we go even further down the lexicological rabbit hole and discuss:Skin of the TeethApple of my Eye Sour GrapesGoing The Extra MileThe Whole Nine YardsRiding ShotgunPulling Your LegPaying Through the NoseCat Out of The BagDucks In A RowBird in the HandBeating Around the BushScrewing the Pooch Red sections written / researched by Luke, purple by Heka and Blue by Mari Sama.Check out more of Tim’s great content at www.CrypticChronicles.comWhere to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:The Third Degree:https://www.westlancsfreemasons.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Explanation-Of-The-Symbolism-of-the-Third-Degree-v2.pdfOn the Levelhttps://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/59/messages/117.htmlBlackballedhttps://masonicwebsite.co.uk/freemasonry/masonic-terms-that-are-now-in-everyday-language/Screw the Poochhttps://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/screw-the-pooch/https://grammarphobia.com/blog/2019/07/screw-the-pooch.htmlCut the Mustardhttps://grammarphobia.com/blog/2006/09/can-you-cut-the-mustard.htmlDucks in a Rowhttps://grammarphobia.com/blog/2021/01/ducks-in-a-row.htmlFor the birdsSupport the show

Coffee Time w/ Edgar Cayce II: Speaking with Spirits & The Anatomy of the Soul

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we invite Tim over for coffee, whip out the Edgar Cayce Companion Guide and wax philosophic from the back of our moving truck as we explore the words, prophecies and metaphysics of America’s greatest and most well documented psychic. In this first half of the episode we explore the caveats of whether or not one should engage in communication with spirits, how exactly that works and the way to do it safely. We were surprised to learn that Cayce’s advice aligns well with esoteric practice and we pause briefly to read from the Bardo Thodol.  Leading into the extended show, the conversation shifts to the idea of what it means to have a spirit, what exactly spirit is in the first place and how it differs from the “soul.” So, grab a fistful of coffee, sip deeply, buckle up, thank you and enjoy the show. In this week's episode we discuss:Talking with spiritsGods and DeitiesPower of PrayersWhat Form Spirits HaveIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit whole to discuss:Spirit vs. Soul!What is an Entity?Can you sell a soul?Ba, Ka and Akh from Egyptian ReligionFor more great content make sure to check out Tim Hacker’s podcast at www.CrypticChronicles.com Each host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.Source:The Edgar Cayce Companion by B Ernest FrejerSupport the show

Tea Time w/ Edgar Cayce: The Akashic Record & Angels

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s discussion we gather for tea around the fire and share the prophecies, advice and metaphysics straight from the sleeping prophet himself, Edgar Cayce. Having covered his life’s story in quite some depth, we set aside all the formalities and jump right into the most revealing sections of Edgar Cayce’s revelations organized neatly by topic, read them together and talk shop regarding the spicy details therein. As I’d hoped, Cayce’s source gave us quite a bit to talk about, beginning with a multi-faceted view of the now popular concept of the Akashic Record, the system log of the entire universe and most importantly how we, as psychics or magicians, may tap into it. In the extended side of the show we hone in our conversation on angels, what Cayce said about them and how it compares with Hermetic wisdom and traditional descriptions of them. Even if you don’t know or care at all about Edgar Cayce we think there’s probably still quite a bit for you to enjoy. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss:The Akashic RecordThe Collective UnconsciousThe AuraEgyptian + New Age Wisdom? How to Tap In To the SourceIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go a bit more occult and discuss: What are angels?

Yakub: Creator of the White Race

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week’s episode began as an investigation into a silly meme and quickly evolved into a crash course into the crossroads where the civil rights movement, Black Liberation Ideology and turn of the century occultism converged to produce the Nation of Islam whos mythic theology details a 6,000 year old big-headed black demiurgic creator being who invented the white race which, in said ideology, is sometimes referred to as “the devil.” In the free side of the show we will discuss the rise of Yakub as described by the Nation of Islam’s longtime leader Elijah Mohamed, how aspects of this mythology are active and even pressing in today’s cultural landscape and how big pockets of the civil rights movement root structure intersected with popular turn of the century occultism to produce Black Liberation Theology in America. In the extended show we start by indulging our inner history nerd and discover the factual basis upon which Yakub may have been based before settling in with our reading glasses and browse Elijah Mohamed’s words in Message to the Blackman of America where the interesting details about Yakub’s creations are described in vivid and hilarious detail. Ok, I think you’ve been thoroughly warned. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week's episode we discuss:Who is Yakub?Kendrick Lamar's Cousin CarlDeuteronomy 28Origins of the Moorish TempleWallace Fard MohamedThe Nation of IslamIn the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we quite a bit further and discuss:The MoorsMuslim leader Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-MansurThe FezElijah Mohamed's "Message To the Black Man of America"Birth Control and the White RaceThe KKK, Nazi Party and the Nation of IslamWhere to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:Elijah Mohamed's Message To the Black Man:https://archive.org/details/message-to-the-blackman-elijah-muhammadThe Nation of Islam:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_IslamKendrick LamarDamn.Support the show
