Welcome to Roon Soup, a podcast about magic, culture and the paranormal.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

Enjoy.

Today on Roon Soup, we welcome lawyer and self-described independent metaphysician, Benabel Wen. Benabelle is the author of Holistic Tarot and the towel of craft.

Benabelle, thank you for your time.

Thank you for having me, Gordon.

Oh, I'm looking forward to this, and I'm looking forward to traditional question number one.

Benabelle, were you a weird kid?

I was a very weird kid.

I think that pretty much, I didn't have to answer that question.

Everyone sort of knows if you're into this kind of thing,

you were probably a weird one.

No for sure I think I think if you end up on this show that tends to be the case as well.

Is there I mean can you give us some specifics?

Did you live in a haunted house? Did you live in a tree house? You know?

No, I did not live in a haunted house, but I pretended that I did. So I would lie to my little

sister and tell her that all of these various ghosts haunted

our homes. I don't know if that counts or if that just completely discredited me. But I was really in, but

basically I was into the paranormal. What was real is my family believed very strongly in

ghost, hungry ghosts and spirits, hauntings and things like that.

So when I went back to Taiwan, they would legitimately say certain homes that we owned

were haunted by certain spirits, whatnot.
