Waiting to resume, from the first week of February, with live broadcasts on our YouTube channel, we share this interview by Gabriele Germani with Marco Maculotti on "La Grande Imboscata Podcast", recorded last December, on the theme "ALIEN FOLKLORE: the phenomenon of «abductions» in the light of folklore and shamanism".
ABSTRACT:
When the term "alien" is used today, it is always used in the sense of "extraterrestrial". But the Latin "alio", from which the Italian "alien" derives, more generally indicates a situation of otherness with respect to human beings, or rather to living human beings. «Alii» were therefore, for the ancient Romans, the spirits of the dead, as well as all those entities of the Other World that went beyond the human «norm», and therefore, simplifying, both the gods and the demons. Here, starting from the paraphysical hypothesis of John Keel and Jacques Vallée, we want to analyze the numerous aspects of the modern UFO phenomenon (and above all of «abductions») which appear correlated with ancient traditions and folklore regarding fairy entities and “ subtle" of the Other World, from the abduction of human beings by the latter to the "Changeling", from the mysterious phenomenon of "Missing Time" to the equally enigmatic one of "crop circles".
