Episode 22, Season 1, Warrior’s Soul, November 11, 2017

Greetings darling listeners! Wow, we’ve been doing this for four months solid. Show some love and leave a comment about your favorite part of our podcast!

This week we first take a moment for all the Warriors in our lives. Then we have a visit from not one, but two Tarot cards. We learn about the changing of the Hardiness zones. We talk a bit long about climate, weather, and sun seeking this winter. The new moon cycles have some interesting times ahead for us. We speak to fellow Pagan Barnabas, who loves to share his shine and is a bartender extraordinaire. We go hunting, cook up some soup, and hang out with Bob Marley. As always we leave you with some powerful magic.

Have a listen below. Don’t forget to share our podcast with a friend.

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.

Where Runa Sings Guns ‘N’ Roses, Episode 13, September 9, 2017, Country Dwellers Podcast

Greetings Listeners! This week we have a reading about the Ace of Pentacles, we brew up a cup of tea, have a stretch and a laugh. We learn that our moon phases may bring shadow introspection and how to acknowledge, accept, learn and move on. Remember this week is about patience. So make some zucchini lasagna, get ready to celebrate Mabon, but first go take a nap.

It’s a Sex Attack! – Episode 7 – July 29, 2017

How do The Alchemist and this week’s moon cycle fit together? Listen below to find out.

Hey there, lovelies. This week’s episode you’ll need to put away your inner 12-year-old, because we’ll be talking about Sex Magick. We’re visited by The Alchemist, have a huge amount of gratitude to bless Mother Gaia with, we bake and break bread,  and the Old Ones dance in the moonlight for one and all.

If after you’ve listened and you want to play the mini-ritual during your own work, it begins at mark 43:44:00.

Crone Moon Full of Politics & Recipes – Episode 6 – July 22, 2017

This week’s Tarot card was the Eight of Wands. Listen to the podcast below to hear all about it.

Greetings Listeners, Followers, and Fellow Country Dwellers:

First off, please forgive the couple of bloops in our recording. We had our microphone set to the wrong setting and it picked up MareLin’s ceiling fan, which pinged the sensitivity of the mic. Runa did her best to minimize the damage. But, we’ll fix it in the next podcast, so, “bear” with us as MareLin goes off and hugs the teenage Ursidae in her yard.

At any rate, we talk about Etsy and the closing of Pagan Shops, Moving to Canada, and like we mentioned above…sometimes there is politics.

This week’s card is the Eight of Wands, which leads nicely into this week’s almanac focus of water conservation, dream work, Ritual Bath Soak/Cleansing.

Here’s MareLin’s Water Purification for Hydration and Detoxing:

1 Quart of Water

1 tsp of Cayenne Pepper

Freshly mulled mint leaves (to taste)

half a cucumber peeled & sliced

Whole lemon, quartered, juiced and rinds reserved

Ginger Root, grated to taste

Put all ingredients together in a pitcher and drink. Refill in one day to get your hydration covered. Be ready for lots of energy. 

Again, please leave a comment, question, or content request here. We’ll happily respond to you here or on our podcast.

Blessed Be,

Runa & MareLin
