Paris, 1917. A single coded telegram shatters the glittering world of Mata Hari—exotic dancer, courtesan, and, according to French intelligence, lethal double agent H-21. In this episode of Exorcista With Victoria Unikel — Secrets, Spells & Shadows, Victoria guides you from candle-lit Parisian salons to shadowy war rooms where cabinet ministers demand a show trial to save their reputation. Hear how Mata Hari’s silk-veiled performances charmed kings, how generals whispered troop secrets into her jeweled ears, and how one intercepted message sealed her fate before a firing squad at Fort de Vincennes.
You’ll learn:
• Why her Dutch passport let her slip across borders when armies could not.
• How French codebreakers at Station X turned a love affair into treason.
• Whether she was a mastermind selling Allied movements—or a scapegoat sacrificed to satisfy a furious public.
Victoria then delivers a step-by-step “Mirror-Egg” banishment ritual, adapted from wartime spycraft, to help you break free from manipulators who weaponize charm. Bring a mirror, a white candle, and your courage.
Listener advisory: references to wartime violence, execution, and period misogyny.
