Idol Worship comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from December 2015 to July 2021.
The Giant Statue Project and Frequency Modulation
McDowell describes a project to build ten-story "Giant" statues in 21 cities that project human faces. She speculates these structures could be used for frequency modulation or "idol worship" to gather and influence large crowds, noting the strange placement of new LED lights in high-poverty areas of Philadelphia.
Baphomet Idol, Severed Head and Torture Confessions
During the Inquisition, numerous Templars confessed to worshipping an idol named Baphomet, described as a severed head or skull with multiple faces. While critics argue these admissions were coerced through torture, the consistency of the descriptions across different perceptories suggests a unified practice. The head was reportedly viewed as a source of wealth and wisdom, potentially kept at the order's grand headquarters.
