Episode Summary: You Are Here Because Something Else Is Not
Originally recorded in October 2023 as part of Luchiana’s Season of the Witch series on Patreon, now released into the wild.

This cozy-ominous episode of Mystic Theory is a love letter to the dead. Or rather—all the dead things you’re made of.

Inside this episode:
→ Why your phone, your car, and your body are all powered by death
→ What fossil fuels and mammoth moms have in common
→ The haunting truth: you are a stack of ghosts who learned to talk
→ A reverent ode to Mitochondrial Eve and Grandmother Tetrapod
→ And the spooky-cool reason you’re only here because something else is not

It’s part existential, part spiritual, part weird science—and all October.
