Maybe not. If you’re part of one of the many traditions that sees spirit possession as nothing new, nothing terrifying, not something you “believe in” or “disbelieve,” this event could be… normal.

If you’re familiar with the Oracle of Delphi, the Pythia, the idea of trance possession may even come with a sense of awe or reverence.

But for most of us in the western world, this simply isn’t the case. We fear possession, we see no merit in it, and if it happens to us or someone we love, we need an exorcist, stat.

Along these lines… what do you think of hearing voices? Speaking to the unseen? Dialoging with entities who “aren’t there?” For many of us, this brings with it fear of psychosis or anxiety over possible schizophrenia, borderline, or bipolar.

And yet…

What if these “symptoms” were… spiritual gifts?

In this episode, we muse it over together. The rise of possession, the possibility it isn’t always negative, and what type of person may be more likely to be possessed and why.

Happiness is a goal discouraged by many spiritual seekers, but is it truly problematic to get what you want? Here we deep dive into the duality (and usefulness) of desire, and remembrance of tragedy around the world. We also explore the difference between manifestation as a means to an end, and a magical practice with depth.

A new podcast by me, KV Rose—an author with questions that go beyond the latest on influencer marketing and diet culture and how to increase engagement on your next Reel. I want more, and this is my chance to speak about it. I invite all of you to dive deeper too, and while this goes shallow—as introductions tend to do—I touch on what to expect, a little about me, and the rebirth that brought this podcast about.
