Thank you all so much for sticking with us through the last year. This is our last episode until autumn, when we will come back after our summer hiatus all recharged and ready to rumble.

And The Heavens A’Fire – Episode 8 – August 5, 2017

The Tarot Card of the Week is the Queen of Pentacles. Listen to the Podcast to hear MareLin’s reading.

Greetings Listeners! Thank you and welcome to all our new listeners. Listen for special shout-outs to those who took the plunge early to follow us.

This week we are visited again by the Queen of Pentacles, and we’re very curious how our listeners would compare and contrast her first visit to this week’s visit. What do you think?

Here is a list of websites for practicing your own moon phase interpretations:

earthsky.org

timeanddate.com

nasa.gov

thewhitegoddess.co.uk

We move this week from the sexual influences of Scorpio in our skies to the Confliction of Capricorn. Listen to the pull to be out in nature (whether its a balcony, patio, a city park, trails, or deep in the wilderness). We’re visited by the Corn/Lightning Moon and Matchsticks of Fire occur at 11:11 a.m.

Our cauldron cooking focuses on Stuffed Poblanos, we figure out gardening to-dos for August, and we get our groove on with musical self care.

If you’re looking for more ritual and spell work from this week’s podcast, please do visit MareLin at www.theoldtreeshoppe.com

This episode we talk about who we are, why we’re doing this podcast, where we are, what we plan to accomplish with this podcast, when you can find the podcast and deeper information than what we discuss on-air, and how all of this came to be.

Our podcast may be found on Google Play, iTunes, and Soundcloud, just look for “Country Dwellers.”  If there’s a particular podcast portal you’d like us to also be available to, please let us know in the comments.

Here are the links as promised referred to in our first podcast:
