Culty Fan Favorites | Ft. Amanda Montell, Evan Rachel Wood, and Eckhart TolleIf you’re a cult member, you hate them… but if you’re a fan of A Little Bit Culty, you can’thelp but love the three cult-busting guests we are featuring on today’s episode.
First up is the Amanda Montell, a writer, language scholar, and the author of two critically acclaimed books: Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism and Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language (HarperWave). Her books have earned praise from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and others, and Amanda is currently developing Wordslut for television with FX Studios. Amanda's writing has been featured in Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, Refinery29, and Who What Wear, where she formerly served as the Features & Beauty Editor. She is also the creator and co-host of the comedy-cult podcast, Sounds Like A Cult.
Next is actor, activist, and epic badass Evan Rachel Wood whose impressive AF resume also includes: “Most likely to be hideously trolled by the Marilyn Manson stans of the world.” If you’ve seen the HBO Max mini-series Phoenix Rising which chronicles her fight to break away from the rocker formerly known as Brian Warner, you’ve already seen the culty wafting offa that dude like a bad cologne. We caught up with Evan to talk about her journey to hell and back, how she’s doing now, and why she won’t ever stop blowing the whistle on complete fuckery. As a note to our listeners, and our lawyers, Mr. Manson has repeatedly denied multiple sexual assault allegations from multiple women and is currently suing Evan for defamation over the accusations, claiming it’s all part of an elaborate organized attack. Please note that conversations like the one you’re about to hear can be traumatizing for abuse survivors. Listen to this episode with caution, and if you or anyone you know needs support, see our site for free resources. Also please note that we love Evan Rachel Wood and believe her without reservation. Sorry, not fucking sorry Manson Stans.
Finally - and perhaps most controversially – is Ekhart Tolle – who is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring spiritual leaders in the world. His international bestsellers have been translated into 52 languages. And we can’t verify this, but he might be one of the MOST quoted and/or misquoted contemporary spiritual gurus ever. Also, for the record, our listeners had a LOVE/HATE reaction to this guest. Can’t please everybody!

Restoring the Sacred Feminine in Plant Medicine with Marguerite Rigoglioso
Returning to the show is Marguerite Rigoglioso, founding director of Seven Sisters Mystery School discussing Restoring the Sacred Feminine in Plant Medicine. We'll discuss why people are becoming more interested in plant medicine, what it does for people and now that plant medicines, (which have had a contentious recent history, like cannabis) are legal, how can we understand and find balance with right usage rather than misuse. Marguerite will share why she's gone from private to public use of cannabis, how various sacred plants around the world relate to each other and how plant medicines promote gnosis and inner knowing. Rigoglioso believes Santa Maria/Lady Cannabis holds wisdom for the world's challenges which will also be a topic of conversation. Finally, we'll talk about the divine feminine roots of sacred medicine plants such as cannabis and cacao and how we can more deeply align with and restore her feminine aspects for the healing and balanceing of our world today.
