Topic: Homunculus

Greg Carlwood reads a disturbing ritual from the *Liber Vaccae* (The Book of the Cow), a 9th-century Arabic grimoire falsely attributed to Plato. The ritual describes the creation of a skinless, human-faced creature through the insemination of a cow with human semen and "sunstone." Metzger reacts to the biological impossibility of the ritual, suggesting it may have been a "con man" test or a psychological operation to see what depravities people would commit.

The hosts discuss the potential for modern CRISPR technology to achieve the biological abominations described in ancient texts. Kurt Metzger explains the medical definition of a "homunculus" in the brain and references Tracy Twyman’s research into the Knights Templar. They discuss allegations of Templar "fight clubs" and the worship of a severed head, linking these practices to early Skull and Bones rituals.
