In part 2 we investigate the most spiritual places in the world, revealing the facets of sacred space on a deeper level, beginning with how these special locations were identified through divination/ augury, and how their supernatural energies were harnessed by magical practitioners such as shamans to cast spells, heal, and control the forces of nature.

We will also meet the mysterious gods, spirits and other paranormal interdimensional beings like Sasquatch which inhabited them.

Lastly we discuss how these power centers and sacred sites acted as portals to other realms like the heavens and underworld. We hear several stories, such as folk tales and myths regarding fairie mounds, magic caves that both bestow untold treasures and unleash horrific monsters. Some of these are even nobodies ethnographic accounts witnessed by ethnographers. For instance, we will relive an anthropologist’s encounter with a luminous being, an ancestral enlightened spirit, in a sacred cave.

We pull stories, religious/ spiritual beliefs and esoteric philosophies dealing with animism from ancient cultures around the world, like Irish, Native American, Norse, and Japanese (Shinto), showing how many of these beliefs reveal a universal truth. We do this in an effort to try to understand full scope of the sacred earth and its impact on humanity.
