Episode 26, Season One, A Reversal of Fortune, December 16, 2017

Greetings Listeners and Visitors!

In this week’s podcast we hear messages from the Nine of Swords — Reversed! We cover Yule Log making, the New Moon Rising in Sagittarius — since the sun is in Sag, too, it makes for an epic time for lots of socializing, which is good timing given the holiDAZE, as Runa likes to say. The Wheel of the Year finds us celebrating the dark days, including Krampus. We whip up a quick meal in the cauldrons for this crazy time of year. Julia from Le Noir Bazaar is our Pagan Connections guest (the maker of MareLin’s wonderful priestess headdress). We talk about giving 15 minutes a day towards decluttering. Our Old Ones’ Wisdom talks about dismantling the patriarchy and you get some homework with the Spell of the Week.

Episode 25, Season One, Channeling Good Things like Hygge, December 9, 2017

The Wheel of the Year

Happy Yule all, to include Remembrance Day. This is our second of the last podcast for 2017. After Dec. 16th we’ll be taking a much-needed break. Then we’ll be back on January 6, 2018. So please continue to tune in and then again at the new year. This week we have a visit from the wheel of the year. We talk about gardening-to-dos for December. The moon is in Virgo. Couple that with Mercury in Retrograde and some of you might be feeling a bit crazy. We talk to a powerhouse pagan couple, drink mulled wine, and leave you as always with old-ones wisdom and a spell of the week.

Greetings Followers and Listeners:

The aftermath of a visit from Kali Ma and fire scrying dominates the podcast today. But we also get messages from the Nine of Pentacles. We talk about how magical households clean up. Moon Cycles have some challenges ahead, along with a Mercury Retrograde. We pull out some hematite to get us through December — trust that there are better times ahead. We interview Laura Tempest Zakroff and then find some veggie small plates to make with love and magic. We talk about a stress-free Old Ones Wisdom and leave you, as always with a spell of the week.

P.S. Our apologies for some of the noises in the background. We thought we fixed that issue, but clearly we haven’t. We’ll look for solutions for next week. Thank you for your patience.

Episode 20, Season 1, Divine Download Interruptions, October 28, 2017

Samhain Blessings All!

This week episode is so fun! Besides an umbrella theme of Super Samhain, the podcast is chock-full of Divine Download interruptions. Then we meet Silent Moon, Puget Sound Pagan Pride board member and volunteer in our new Pagan Connection section, who schools us on what a Cafeteria Pagan is and gives us a heads up about the 2018 Puget Sound Pagan Pride. The Two of Cups has a message for us, as we prepare for the moon shifting from Aquarius to Pisces — oh, and the Star Card jumps out to wave at us and whisper advice. MareLin lets her inner 12-year-old out for part of the podcast and hilarity ensues — as they say. We cook up a great ancestors feast. Then a challenge is thrown down right before we wrap up with the spell of the week.

MareLin did write up a more in-depth article regarding this curious Samhain moon, which you can find over at her personal site:  Old Tree Shoppe.

As always have a listen below. Don’t forget to share our podcast with a friend.
