Tonight on The Thinning Veil, we journey deep into the twilight world of cryptids, shadow beings, and liminal entities. From Tall Man to Mothman, Goatman, skinwalkers, New Orleans vampires, sirens, merfolk, and even gargoyles, Chandra and Nicholas Goeke explore the folklore, eyewitness accounts, archetypal meaning, and psychological significance behind these mysterious beings.

We discuss:

The ethical compass for encountering cryptids, thought-forms, and elemental beings

Skinwalkers versus doppelgängers and respecting Indigenous teachings

Eyewitness accounts spanning the globe and across time

The intersections of folklore, pop culture, and modern myths

How to safely share space with liminal beings without harm or exploitation

Parasites, egregores, and thought-forms in media, art, and collective belief

Distinguishing cryptids, elementals, celestials, and tulpas

Whether you’re a folklorist, skeptic, or spiritual seeker, this episode invites you to peek beyond the veil, ethically, curiously, and with a sense of wonder.

For those seeking guidance:

If you feel drawn to explore these phenomena in your own life, remember: curiosity is medicine, but safety and ethics are your compass. Nicholas, our Trauma-Informed Shamanic Energetic Guide and Men’s Healing Mentor, joins Chandra to show how to ground, protect, and engage responsibly.
