b'Romana Didulo, the self declared Queen of Canada, has managed to convince her followers that she is leading this country with the help of both international partners and... well... aliens. \\nIn past Nighttime episodes we looked at this story in a variety of ways; we discussed the fake queen\'s background, we examined the attempt her followers made to arrest the Peterborough, Ontario police force, and we\'ve watched along with the ongoing siege of a small town in Saskatchewan the group is currently residing in. \\nThroughout most of those episodes there was a bit of an undercurrent of "how can people believe this?"\\nRomana Didulo\'s followers view her as much as a religious deity as a political leader and that\'s why when I heard a professor and a lecturer from Queen\'s University\'s School of Religion published a research paper on Romana Didulo I had to learn more. \\n\'Reviving the violet Flame\' examines the religious concepts and ideas that have someone found their way into the bizarre world of Romana Didulo.\\nIn this episode we are joined by Dr. Carmen Celestini to talk us through her research into this stranger than fiction phenomenon. \\nEpisode Links:\\nReviving the Violet Flame: http://www.carmencelestini.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/celestini-amarasingam-2023-reviving-the-violet-flame-the-new-age-conspiratorial-journey-of-canada-s-queen-romana-didulo.pdf\\nSend a voicememo to the show:\\nnighttimepodcast.com/contact\\nSubscribe to the show:\\npremium feed: https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast\\napple podcasts: https://applepodcasts.com/nighttime\\nMusical Theme:\\nNoir Toyko by Monty Datta\\nSocial Links:\\nWebsite: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com\\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod\\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod\\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
