Was an ominous prediction of death by a midwife a voodoo hex? Or is there a scientific explanation?
In this podcast, we relate a story from 1967 in which three baby girls were born on Friday 13th in Florida, and how the midwife told the parents they were all hexed and would die at the ages of 16, 21, and 23. Lo and behold they all died at these ages. Is this a voodoo style hex? Or is there another explanation, one based on science?
From there we delve into listeners’ questions, including if you can manifest your partner’s ex by obsessing over them and researching them daily online. Plus a “crack rock” – a request to be turned into a vampire… Along with discussion on how the mind works and how you can improve your life by becoming consciously aware and stilling internal dialog, along with running visual patterns to change bad memories.
I’m Jimmy Lee Shreeve, the writer and journalist behind the mask of Doktor Snake.
My work has appeared in The Independent, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph, Financial Times, and other publications on both sides of the Atlantic.
Years ago, I was mentored by Earl Marlowe, a Trinidadian hoodoo master and world-music singer who taught me that magic and psychology are two languages for the same thing.
From those roots grew Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook and a lifelong study of how consciousness shapes probability.
Today I write, record, and speak from the English lands of Suffolk — an area thick with barrows, ruins, and old currents of power — translating those currents into modern tools for clarity, luck, and self-command.
My aim is simple: to help you master the operating system between your ears.
