Episode 28: What The Rapture & Labubu Have in Common
Description
This week on Two Witches Talking, Megan and Morgan dive into the buzz around the rapture, unpacking its deep historical roots, its ties to cultish behavior, and the ways belief systems can shape, and sometimes unravel, the human psyche. They trace the rapture’s origins back to the 19th century, examining how it evolved into a cultural phenomenon that continues to stir both fascination and fear. Along the way, they highlight the unsettling role fear plays in pulling people toward extreme beliefs, and how failed predictions can leave individuals grappling with disillusionment and spiritual fallout.
The conversation also shines a light on the psychological impacts of spiritual psychosis and mass ungrounded belief, exploring how cults often manipulate language and power dynamics to control followers. Megan and Morgan tie these ideas to present-day cultural phenomena like the Labubu trend, pointing out how such expressions mirror collective anxieties. Through it all, they encourage listeners to find strength in community, embrace curiosity and skepticism, and reimagine spirituality on their own terms, not through fear, but through empowerment and inquiry.
