The show is still on a break. In the meantime, here is another edition of Paranormal Pinays, the weekly livestream that I do with Lyn Pacificar and Rannie AuGoGo, where we casually discuss everything paranormal and supernatural from our perspectives as magickal Bisaya women.

A hot topic right now is the ethics of AI generated images and audio. What these programs are able to mimic can be scarily accurate. But this type of trickery has been going on for a long time…by spirits. People all over the world have been reporting seeing or hearing family or friends in places they actually weren’t. Spirits have already been doing what we fear AI will do in the future.

We have reached the end of this mini series featuring different deities and their devotees. This week, I’m joined by my dear dear friend Rannie AuGoGo. She works with many different deities, but today she’ll tell us all about Papa Legba, the Vodou deity of communication and crossroads. She talks about her relationship to Papa Legba, miraculous ways that he’s assisted her, concerns about appropriation, and insight on how to build meaningful relationships with deities. And just like last time, I did not censor Rannie’s colorful language so if that bothers you, this is your heads up. Book a session or take a course: https://www.magickaugogo.com
