The True History of Lemuria, a Fake Place with Justin McHenry | Australia's Emu War
Manage episode 405335677 series 3325432
It's our season 2 finale so hop in your wicker basket and get ready for some wild intergalactic travel we have guest Justin McHenry in the Smoke Circle to talk about a fake place that has some very real history--Lemuria!
Justin has written the book "Lemuria: A True Story of a Fake Place" which takes the reader from its real origins in 19th century science all the way through its adoption by new age spirituality! Justin also later gives us a Lemuria true crime story that he only briefly touches on in the book so the Smoke Circle gets all the tea on that, lucky us!
But the wild ride doesn't stop there, KT has her own slice of weird history she brings to the episode regarding Australia's war against a mighty foe: standing 6 feet tall with the ability to disembowel a human if things go sideways...the Emu.
We are off for the next six weeks and will be back with you again on April 19th, 2024...just in time for our favorite holiday... *wink!* In the meantime, please keep up with us on Instagram @hightailinghistory or on TikTok @HightailingHistoryPod
