In the 1950s, a suburban Chicago housewife named Dorothy Martin headed a small doomsday cult. One of the first of its kind! Dorothy believed she had a direct line to an alien. Sananda, a celestial guide from Clairion. With no formal platform or technology to spread her revelations, Dorothy turned to a surprisingly ordinary method—hosting informal gatherings where her friends could ask Sananda questions, sandwiched between Tupperware sales and alien shaped cupcakes (seriously). But these conversations weren’t about household hacks—they were warnings of an impending apocalypse, and only the worthy would be spared.

Psychologist Leon Festinger saw an opportunity to study belief under pressure, sending students to infiltrate The Seekers. As the predicted doomsday came and went without so much as a flicker from the skies, the group’s faith was put to the ultimate test. Their reactions—rationalizations, denials, and quiet departures—became the foundation for what we now call Cognitive Dissonance.

Throughout the episode, we explore the dynamics within The Seekers, the unwavering support of Dorothy’s husband, Harold, and the far more dubious influence of Charles Laughead. Ultimately, most followers simply returned to their everyday lives. But what happened to Dorothy and Charles? And how does belief endure when faced with undeniable contradiction? How does this apply in 2025?

In this episode, Heather takes us on a wild ride through Lilith’s tangled mythology—where biblical evolution meets modern interpretation, and a nod to Lilith in the CW’s Supernatural of course made the cut.

We kick things off with the Book of Genesis and Lilith’s refusal to settle—because, let’s be honest, she just wanted to be on top. 🤷‍♀️ From there, we unravel her infamous reputation as the first demon, digging into Isaiah 34:14 and the eerie nod to a female entity haunting the night. Some myths even suggest Lilith played the long game, masquerading as the serpent in Eden—revenge never tasted so forbidden.

And while poor Eve got stuck with Adam (arguably the most uninspiring biblical husband), we uncover a very unexpected spiritual revelation—yes, the Jesus kink. We won’t spoil it here, but trust us, you’ll want to buckle up for that one.

The conversation expands into a talk on divine power across cultures, how interpretations of “The Source” change over generations, and why vision boards are really just ancient Pinterest. Ultimately, we’re left wondering—how much of the real magic is just us tapping into something greater?

Oh, and of course, it wouldn’t be Hex Haven without some irreverent closing thoughts. So in the spirit of curiosity, history, and divine rebellion... Send us Jesus nudes! (Just kidding. Sort of.)

Tune in, laugh with us, and question everything.

In this special episode, we dive into our experience with a free online workshop, Spring Equinox Sacred Reset offered by The Sisters Enchanted —a four-day journey hosted by Sarah that helped participants realign with their New Year’s resolutions and personal goals.

This workshop wasn’t just about setting intentions; it wasan invitation to take a raw and honest look inward. Each day unfolded with profound self-exploration:
🌙 Day One – Using lunar and solar goals, participants werechallenged to uncover the deeper why behind their desires.
💫 Day Two – A journey through the chakras illuminated the areas within ourselves that need attention and healing.
🔮 Day Three – Tarot became the guide for understanding intentions and sharpening self-awareness.
🌿 Day Four – The elements tied everything together, reinforcing balance and connection.

We both felt an undeniable kinship with the host and thematerial presented. Our post-workshop reflections led us into a conversation on society’s obsession with how mothers spend their time—a scrutiny we’veboth found ourselves trapped in. We also unpacked the reality of self-trust, a trait we discovered as our shared weakness, and how narcissistic relationships with partners and family members can erode that trust over time.

If you’re seeking a reset, a moment to realign with your ownpath, we highly recommend exploring the insightful work of The Sisters Enchanted. Check out their offerings here:👉 The Sisters Enchanted Website

Tune in to hear our full breakdown and reflections—we’reexcited to share this journey with you!
