Aliens Ate My Audio: On - Astrology and the Paranormal | Maighdlin Kelly

This week, we are welcoming guest Maighdlin Kelly, astrologer, astronomer, and weird scientist, to chat about a topic that tickles fantasy and stirs the curious and brave heart, that of the paranormal and the entity known as the Phenomena. Maighdlin has taken their skills as an astrologer and focused them on studying paranormal events. They also extend their roots in the weird science community by teaching fellow paranormal hunters how to view the sky through an astronomer’s lens via their project @stargazingsidequest. On today's episode, they will graciously take the time to explain to me that there are some things we just may never know, with great patience despite my churning desire to uncover all mysteries, I might add. What can we learn about the Phenomena from looking at the event charts of weird encounters? How can we stay grounded when tracing the roots of weird experiences? What is so exciting about the current crossover between the paranormal and occult communities? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.

Bear in mind when listening to today's episode that I actually had a weird encounter in the process of recording it. I did nothing different with my recording process and yet ended up with the most garbled sound file I'd ever experienced so far in my podcasting journey. Upon talking to Maighdlin about this, I discovered that it's apparently a very common occurrence when people are discussing the phenomenon on air. So much so that they have been named, the Technical Goblins! So, my apologies for the machine elf interference. 

Don't forget to check out the Patreon Exclusive Episode which features Maighdlin recounting some of their own weird encounters, how to surrender to the mystery, and lucid dreaming.

To find more on Maighdlin, make sure to check them out on Instagram @stargazingsideques and @mmkelly.space.
