Hogwarts, But Make It A Cult

This week on The Creep Dive

We begin with a tragic bungee-jumping disaster at Brazil's infamous "Skeleton Bridge" before spiralling headfirst into a world of magic schools, witches, secret rituals, spiritual manipulation and the blurry line between belief and control.

What starts as a conversation about alternative education becomes something much darker as we unpack the experiences of people raised inside a movement that promised supernatural powers, protection from death and a direct connection to hidden knowledge. Along the way there are flying claims, psychic abilities, mysterious ceremonies, tithes, cult comparisons and one very uncomfortable question:

At what point does a spiritual community become something else entirely?

Plus: the girls debate religion, cults, magical thinking and why humans seem endlessly drawn to people who claim to have special powers.

Part 2 is available now.
