Mother Joseph was born on April 16, 1823 - so this month marks what would be her 198th Birthday!   We're having a party. You're totally invited. Recently, when recording Episode 15 with Psychic Empath Janet Borkowski, MoJo interacted with us to make herself known as she is prone to do (stay tuned for that).   As per usual, after Sara spent time with Andrea, immediately after signing off the call she connected some dots that didn't quite connect before, ending up back in the Mother Joseph Catholic Cemetery for the second time in 72 hours.  Taking this turn of events as a sign from both Mother Joseph and Sister Rita, Sara felt that it was time to do an episode that is entirely about Mother Joseph to honor her for her birthday... because she deserves it.  After recently purchasing a pair of 1975 books that Sister Rita was sourced for, Sara stayed up far too late for nights in a row reading about her favorite nun. Unlike many of the "old ass nun books" that she begun hoarding about 18 months ago, this newer book detailing the founding of the first hospital in Portland is based on both interviews of Sisters of Providence that actually knew MoJo and Sister Rita's life's work as the primary administrator and historian for St. Vincent's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. We will be back to your regularly scheduled Two Witches (with TWO witches...) soon! Thanks for listening, and Happy Birthday Mother Joseph, we love you.

Born Esther Pariseau in 1823, the third of 12 children, in a farmhouse three miles from Saint-Martin, Laval, Quebec, this Canadian Religious Sister grew up to lead members of her congregation to the Pacific Northwestern United States where they established a network of schools and healthcare facilities to serve the American settlers in that new and remote part of the country.

Who was Mother Joseph?

Sara Schick

My guest for this episode is witch and paranormal researcher, Sara Schick. Sara lives in the city of Vancouver in Washington State and recently started investigating the legacy of a mysterious figure from the towns past called Mother Joseph, a remarkable renaissance woman and visionary who played a huge part in bringing the city into existence. Integral to this were the Hidden family, who Mother Joseph transformed from farmers to expert brick-makers. Years later, the buildings made from those bricks which have survived into the present almost all have a reputation for being haunted and the ‘Hidden Bricks’, as they been named, are well known in local folklore. Sara’s research is fascinating,  and a great example of what can be uncovered when someone takes an interest in their local history. Lovely stuff…about bricks! For more information on Sara's research, visit her excellent blog https://weirdlifepdx.blogspot.com/.   The Some Other Sphere theme is from Purple Planet Music 'Hubbub' by Chris Martin/Geoff Harvey
