We hope they catch on.   Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of death, cannibalism, infanticide, warfare, sex, mental illness, drowning, murder, domestic violence, animal death, imprisonment, sexual assault, transphobia, gender violence, and child birth.    Housekeeping - Books: Check out our previous book recommendations, guests’ books, and more at https://spiritspodcast.com/books - Call to Action: Check out Join the Party!   Sponsors - Our Patrons!
