Amy Carlson (Mother God)

In this episode of Harlots of Spooktalk, we examine the rise and fall of Amy Carlson, the self-proclaimed “Mother God,” and the belief system that surrounded her.

Before diving into her story, we break down the psychology and social dynamics that often make cults possible. We define what constitutes a cult, explore why there are an estimated 70 active cults operating at any given time, and discuss how unresolved trauma can create vulnerability to coercive belief systems.

We explore:

• The emotional impact of being a child of divorce

• How childhood PTSD can shape identity, attachment, and belief

• Dissociation as a coping mechanism, including escaping trauma through fantasy

• The concept of religiosity versus healthy religious or spiritual belief

• The role of narcissism in cult leadership

• The idea of lightworkers and how spiritual language can be used for both healing and manipulation

A commonly referenced resource in lightworker communities, lightworkers.org, is mentioned for context only — we are not sponsored.

We then turn our focus to Amy Carlson herself, examining her personal relationships with her family and her romantic partner, and how belief, trauma, and control intersected to form one of the most unsettling modern spiritual movements.

Broken Heart Syndrome – When Love Physically Breaks the Heart
Valentine’s Lovers Series – LIVE on TikTok

For week one of our February Valentine’s special, Harlots of Spooktalk explores a phenomenon that sounds like poetry but is rooted in real medical science: Broken Heart Syndrome, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

This condition occurs when sudden, intense emotional stress floods the body with stress hormones, temporarily stunning the heart and causing symptoms that mimic a heart attack. Grief, shock, and overwhelming loss can physically weaken the heart muscle, sometimes with fatal consequences.

In this live episode we break down:

• The scientific explanation behind Broken Heart Syndrome

• How emotional trauma can impact the heart

• Why the body can react to grief as if it were physical injury

• Real stories of couples who passed away within hours or days of each other, including long-married partners believed to have died from the shock of losing their other half

Part of our four-week Valentine’s Lovers Series, this episode looks at the point where love, loss, and biology collide, asking whether a broken heart can truly be deadly.

❄️ Icelandic Folklore – Thorolf & Gunna

Forged in fire, frozen in fear… Icelandic folklore is not meant to comfort — it is meant to warn.

In this episode of Harlots of Spooktalk, we journey into the icy heart of Iceland, where ancient legends speak of the dead who refuse to rest. Surrounded by volcanic landscapes, endless winters, and isolation, these stories were born from a world where survival was never guaranteed and the supernatural felt dangerously close.

LD Pteloma dives deep into the terrifying tale of Thorolf Twist-Foot, a man whose cruelty in life followed him into death, transforming him into a draugr — a physical, violent undead being that terrorized the living.

Tiffany explores the haunting legend of Gunna, a woman wronged in death whose fury manifested as a relentless spirit, unleashing chaos on an entire community until drastic measures were taken to stop her.

Together, these stories reveal a chilling truth at the heart of Icelandic belief: how you live, how you die, and how you are treated matters — because the dead are always watching.

🕯️ Episode Description: The Case of Bridget Fury

Her name lingers in history like a whisper… Bridget Fury.

In this episode of Harlots of Spooktalk, we explore the chilling case of a woman whose life has been reduced to fragments of accusation, fear, and unanswered questions. Little is known about Bridget Fury’s early years, yet her name appears in historical records tied to violence, suspicion, and swift judgment during a time when women—especially the poor—had little chance to defend themselves.

As we peel back the layers of this haunting case, we examine the social climate that surrounded Bridget, the crime she was accused of, and the outcome that sealed her fate. Was Bridget Fury truly guilty… or was she another victim of fear, rumor, and a justice system that offered no mercy?

This episode serves as a reminder that history does not always preserve the truth—only the consequences.
