Do we have art/sculpture or other writers writing about the same thing? We can't just make a claim because we want to - we need to have it backed and for todays episode... we sure do!Chapters:Topic intro: 0:00Hekate The Nursemaid: 3:53Evidence that Hekate helped trick Kronos: 22:00Why looking at sites and evidence matters when staking a claim about Hekate: 31:10🌿 BOOK YOUR TRIP TO GREECE WITH US⁠https://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/greece/greece-with-chelsea-the-ghost-whisperer-sep-2026?earlyBird=true⁠Styx and Bones TempleJoin Our Patreon, Shop Our Store and more →⁠https://beacons.ai/styxandboness⁠FOLLOW STYX AND BONESInstagram →⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcast⁠Source: Source: Herring, A.

This rhetoric is harmful and we should be holding people accountable for their actions. We cannot turn a blind eye as turning a blind eye doesn't allow us to have these hard but honest conversations. We need to provide people with education, to inspire people to make better choices on who they support and hope people can change in the rhetoric they are using on their platforms through re-education. We promise to our audience to always be forthcoming, truthful and honest with information - even when it's difficult. We will always choose to stand on the right side of history and we will always stand for what is just and right.At this point in time our images and faces are still being used to support this rhetoric in which we did not consent to or stand for."The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command". - George Orwell's 1984High Priestess Chelsea and Dr. KStyx and Bones
