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.
