Return to Shadow Appalachia Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

This is the latest episode of the reborn Order of the Sword and Staff podcast, wherein the Shadow Appalachia crew talk spiritual warfare, the delay in Shadow Appalachia, share individual strange encounters since standing on the head of the Logan County Serpent Mound a year ago, plans going forward and talk Southern Death Cult symbolism and mythology that seems to be reoccurring among each of us as a number of odd synchronicities. We hadn't talked about many of these things prior as they were happening to each of us, and so connections are made in real-time as we're figuring it out and sharing experiences that will likely shape the direction of Shadow Appalachia, which resumes shooting in March of 24.
