Some background on how this episode and conversation came about. 2:16
How are Patrick and both of our return guests connected? Ash is a connector. Slade is a matchmaker. 3:43
Patrick met Ash online during the “information gathering phase” of his “spiritual shift.” Ash then introduced Patrick to Slade and his work. 8:31
Ash brought the team together for this “triangle table.” The topic started out as a joke in a planning discussion, but ended up being something everyone decided to roll with. What’s up with the lack of straight men in the spiritual/metaphysical community? 11:51
Slade’s take on the initial question. Reincarnation, witch trials, and where the term “faggot” came from. 13:25

The feminine archetype 19:23
Those who are excluded from a social order have to become more resourceful. 21:28
Straight men who are allies of the feminine and the spiritual are the real deal! Unfortunately, they’re all married. Ha! 23:15

Making straight men feel welcome 51:20

Are you a straight, psy-curious man who is looking for love? “Get thyself to a spirit circle!” 54:28
