Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the eighteenth of November, which is a very
special day.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Everything has its day.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Today is a cult day, a day when some people
whip out their wija boards. But you need to be
careful when you're playing with the world of the spirits.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
The spirit world is dangerous.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
I believe she is channeling powers.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
We do not understand Doris. What happened to Doris?

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I wonder, well, we want to open up the phones
and the text. Have you had a seance, done a
wija board? Got a taro reading? It's International occult Day.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
I have alija board.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
You've had an experience with the other side?

Speaker 6 (00:44):
Well else it's no sort of not really.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
But my grandfather was a very eccentric fellow, right, really
really interesting guy. But he was all about the spirit world.
One of the many things he was all over. And
he had a Wii aboard and not some rubbish made
by a bunch of girls having a sleepover. This is

(01:12):
a full on proper and he and people that he
would hook.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Up with had this was accredited wies.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
They had many a session with the other side. Anyway,
when he died, for some reason, I ended up with
this damn thing.

Speaker 6 (01:27):
I don't know why. He or whoever it was that
decided it would come to me, thought that I would
be interested. So here I am with this Wiji.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Aboard, and I thought, what am I going to do
with it? I don't want it. I can't throw it out,
give him a but that's the idea.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
I don't want to do it. I don't want to
touch it. I don't want to look at it.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
I can't throw it out because that's going to bring
me bad JUSU. So first of all, I just shoved
it under the bed, you know where you shove everything. Well,
that of course was stupid, because I couldn't sleep. So
I've dug it out, and I've thought what do I
do with this bloody thing? I want to throw it out,
but that's that's too scary to contemplate. So I shoved
it into I was renting at the time, and I

(02:06):
shoved it into the top shelf of you know, the linen.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Cupboard, as far back as it could possibly go. And
of course you know what happened.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
No, No, I think that when I moved, I've forgotten
about it and I've left it there, and it.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
Might because it was so high up and so far back,
it might still be there to this very day.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
I was scared that it might follow me. I just
didn't know what to do with it because I didn't
want to tempt any more. You know who shenanigans.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's a cult day. You might get home today and.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
There it's a table.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
How weird would that be?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Well, I have not had any such experience. No, it's
all buncom. We have had a text through from Ross
in Oakford. He's just letting us know that the w
A branch of the Avoyance Association of w A has
canceled their AGM today due to unforeseen circumstances.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
Okay, let's go to jodle Up and Paul.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Hello morning po.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
All right, what's your story.

Speaker 7 (03:19):
Well, back when Fred Bodika was there, you had a
just before Melbourne Cup, you had a prize of rental
for a fancy dresses or suits for the Melbourne Cup.

Speaker 8 (03:32):
Yeah, it was Clothing Corner or something like that.

Speaker 7 (03:35):
And the day before the Sunday I went to a
carve up north of the River and they had like
a famous sort of over East card reader, like a
parrot card reader or a medium.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah, and she said I was going to have a win,
and I went, oh, yeah, sure. Anyway, I rang us
up on the Monday, and nobody else sprang up for
that spooky section, so I won.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Very well. See it was a tarot car reader and
a bookie at the same time, two jobs.

Speaker 8 (04:12):
Right right.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
I didn't believe in them until that happens.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Then, still don't, Paul, But you know, maybe you've come
close to changing my mind.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
It is a cult day, a day that goes back
a long long way. They're actually not one hundred percent
sure of the of the origins of it, but they
believe it's connected with All Saints Day, which is that
whole Halloween back in the old Celtic.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Tradition, November eight it's spooky month.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's a spooky month. It is very spooky, monk. That's
why they have Black Friday sales.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
In November.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
But apparently you can celebrate a cult day in diverse ways,
from engaging in tarot readings and attending psychic sessions to
exploring nature, howling at the moon.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
What about getting your gear off?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Had coffee grinds red? Nope, someone did that come into
the studio once and did that.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, I just look at the bottom, and I just go,
I'm obviously at the bottom.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Of the jar, and then I'm going to rinch this
before I be in the dish.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
And you can express your belief through art as well
as part of a cult a preferably not blood scrawled
on the wall.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
So that would be the best thing I see.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
People.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Well, it is a cold, cold.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Day of the eighteenth.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
You're going to do it. Do it today.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
We'll take your calls on a cult day, seances, we boards,
tarror readings.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Michael in Inglewood, Good morning, morning, Michael.

Speaker 8 (05:45):
Morning for us. Well, I went my daughter was pregnant
and I went to Tara cod Vi in first on
a Saturday, and the lady flipped the card and whatever
it might be, and she said, there's a little girl
waiting to come down. Okay, find a cool problem. So

(06:08):
for whatever reason I went. I was freemant and I thought, okay,
we're going to another one. And I went to another
character far a card reader, and she flipped the cards
and the same story, it is a little girl waiting
to come down, but in the age which my daughter
had the baby, it was actually a boy. Oh yeah,

(06:29):
So either they both got it wrong or whatever, but
it ended up to be a boy.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh okay, I don't know, Michael. I'm not sold on
this occult day thing myself. Call me a stick in
my mud. Have to go, thanks Michael, Thank you, Michael.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
I don't know about this reading of the cards and
the and the coffee beans and the tea leaves.

Speaker 2 (06:58):

been able to convince this.

Speaker 5 (07:04):

a tingly Tuesday kind of tale.

Hello Liz, Hi, Well, Lisa, when you were talking about
getting your coffee grounds read, I had a sudden memory.
I had my shells read at Coventry Markets.

Your shells, my shells.

Speaker 9 (07:32):
Okay, So they give you nine little shells and you
throw them like dice on the table, and depending which
way they land, the man counts them and you throw
them again, and he read my fortune.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Off these shells, basically knucklebones.

the time that I didn't know that well, and mine
was pretty unevent for my fortune. Hers horrific. You're gonna
have a terrible life. You're gonna have illness. You've been
furst someone's curse. And she goes, oh, yeah, I dated
a Satanist. I know exactly who would have done that.

(08:06):
So yeah, And he suggested that he, for fifty dollars,
could give her a spell to do, which involved running
to a roundabout in the middle of the night and
throwing some water on a roundabout. Really, and that would,
for fifty dollars, would give her some magic water and

(08:27):

Speaker 3 (08:30):
She had, Wow, fifty bucks to tell you to go
and run around around water And what did she do?

In nineteen seventy seven, says My sister and I were
sitting upstairs just chatting in chillings as nineteen seventy seven,
and all of a sudden she said her head hurt.
We went downstairs and got some water, and then she
said seventh of August nineteen eighty eight. And then she
said it four times Over the.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
Next few years.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
We asked people if they had any idea of what
this might mean. No one sort of really had anything definite. Anyway,
August seventh, nineteen eighty eight finally came round, and their
granddad died on that day.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'm going with coincidence. Do you think I'm going? Oh, dear,
