Paranormal writer Meredith Spearman is pretty great, and she really gets it.
Her stack is very new but quickly exploding in popularity quickly. A big reason for this, I feel, is because her exploration makes the universe bigger, and the Phenomenon bigger, and does not try to lock it down into some cramped, pet world-vision.
What she draws upon is close enough to the Western cannon of Hermeticism and Neoplatonism to not trigger my revulsion reflex. Some of her favorite researchers and writers are some of mine: Patrick Harpur, Jeffrey Kripal. And she uses some of my favorite descriptive words, like "Daimonic" and "The Imaginal."
Where we differ is what we DO with it. She is not a magician, and I have some quibble here and there, but I don't hold that against her.
Anyway, I don't "do" aliens, but if we accept the more inclusive idea that the entities are bigger than the stories and MMORPG background lore we tell about them, it changes things.
Call them demons, daimons, ETs, pagan gods, entities, or even "Eldritch Beings from the Primal Darkness" as I do (kidding) , we can listen to the better UFO/UAP/Paranormal writers out there without accepting the daimons are literally little green men from Mars, any more than they are literally pagan gods, or literally demonic hellspawn (as much as the last one is way less cringe ). And maybe a bit of all of the above, depending on what we bring to the table, or circle.
Her Substack in not currently paid, so do run over for a treat and read while they are sill available for free.
