Description: Art Bell welcomes Dr. Evelyn Paglini, a lifelong practitioner of natural magic trained by her grandfather from age four, for a Friday the 13th exploration of witchcraft, mirror magic, and the occult. Art addresses listener objections about hosting a witch by declaring his belief that magic is real while maintaining his own spiritual convictions. The first hour features open lines covering topics from the Nevada marijuana legalization ballot measure to Buzz Aldrin punching a moon-landing denier.Dr. Paglini explains that mirrors, along with any reflective surface including water, polished metal, and crystal, serve as portals and gateways to other dimensions. She describes three categories of mirror work: personal scrying mirrors painted black and consecrated under a full moon for divination, worker mirrors assigned specific protective or influential tasks, and mirrors used for astral projection into other realities. A caller recounts childhood experiences of stepping into reflected images between angled mirrors.The conversation turns to the darker applications of mirror magic, including the ability to send thought forms through reflective surfaces to influence others. Dr. Paglini connects shadow people sightings to mirror portals, suggesting these beings use glass and reflective surfaces as doorways between dimensions. She argues that sharing this formerly secret knowledge levels the playing field against practitioners who have used these techniques for centuries.
