Summary

In this episode of Ninjas Are Butterflies, we dive into the twisted intersection of occult science, satanic rituals, and historical cover-ups. From Aleister Crowley’s strange fusion of mysticism and experimentation to a bleeding crucifix revival in Russia that defied explanation, this episode blurs the line between faith, fear, and forbidden knowledge. The guys also uncover how Walt Disney once commissioned a Nazi artist, revealing a bizarre footnote in the history of American imagination. It’s a wild mix of theology, history, and conspiracy—equal parts creepy, fascinating, and hilarious in true NAB fashion. Thanks to our sponsor, Uncommon Goods.
