Mancy

Elle and RJ Continue their exploration of Canomancy, divination and magic with Dogs. RJ discusses a dog named Boy, who was rumored to be a practitioner of the dark arts and a familiar of Prince Rupert during the english civil war. RJ then explores the mythology concept of the Hell Hound and discusses a myriad of mythologies that connect dogs to the afterlife or underworld. Elle gives her theory as to why dogs are so connected to death. RJ then explores the folklore of the Black Dog, a cryptid from europe and its various sightings. RJ also discusses some of the more problematic roles dogs have played in history with their use as police dogs, and also unethical breeding practices, particularly the Pug breed which has health problems due to inbreeding. RJ also discusses tragic instances of doggy suicide and how doggie depression may be connected to our obsession with pure-bred dogs. Elle's Dog Rocco then performs a reading using a fortune telling dog toy.
