Pumpkin Hill Radio: Paranormal Mysteries, Conspiracies, and Unexplained Phenomena
Episode 91: Paul of Thebes – Desert Saints, Shamanic Visions & Enlightened Madness
Long before monasteries, churches, or organized faith, one man disappeared into the Egyptian desert—and never returned. This is the story of Paul of Thebes: the first Christian hermit, the man who lived nearly a century in silence, and whose death was marked by ravens and lions. But Paul’s tale doesn’t end with Christian sainthood—it bleeds into a stranger tradition: desert shamanism, visionary mysticism, and the forgotten origins of spiritual madness.
In this episode, we explore Paul’s legendary life, his meeting with Anthony the Great, and the rise of the Desert Fathers—men and women who rejected civilization, battled demons, spoke in riddles, and vanished into wilderness to hear the voice of God… or something else.
Was it sanctity—or a controlled descent into divine madness?
Featuring real desert sayings, ancient visions, and parallels to global shamanic traditions, this episode walks the line between faith and the paranormal.
