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.

Blessed Be,

Ravens Visit, Quiet Time, & Crone’s Wisdom, Episode 9, August 12, 2017

This week’s Tarot card reading is for the Moon Card. Start singing Moon Shadow right now! 😉

First off, please wish MareLin well. Keep her in your thoughts, intentions, and meditations. She’s been a bit too ill. She’s resting now and should be on the mend soon. But, she toughed it out and did our podcast anyway. Good on ya, witch! Be well.

This week’s podcast, besides illness subduing MareLin, includes a reading of the Moon Card, herbalism discussions, including things to do with echinacea, calendula, camomile, feverfew, and valerian. There’s an Aries Moon that could make things ripe for arguments, but should produce some good internal magick workings. There’s still a universe of retrograde going on, so listen up. Good time to watch the heavens as the Perseid meteor shower is making an appearance, and of course there’s the solar eclipse coming up and we’re in that event’s shadow now.

We’ve opened up our platform here to provide a community for pagans, especially in our local area. We talk about events at Our Lady Of The Earth And Sky as well as The Old Tree Metaphysical Shoppe & Healing Space. We give you a recipe for Roasted Tomato Bruschetta Topping for sharing at such events, as well as our spell of the week.

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

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

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

Blessed Be,

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

Energy Pig Pens, Poor Danny & A Special Coyote Guest – Episode 5 – Country Dwellers Pagan Podcast

Listen below to hear our tarot reading of The Star Card and what it means for all of us.

Hugging Salutations from MareLin & Runa!

This week on Country Dwellers Pagan Podcast we welcome a special guest, Zoey, aka Black Coyote Woman, who brings her insight to all our discussions, including the Tarot’s Star Card, Waning Moon Check-In, Dream Messages, Fire Divination, Energetic Cleansing & Protection ritual for before Lammas, A Zucchini Recipe ode to Danny, and our spell of the week, which centers on banishing negative energy. Additionally, this podcast was quite the laugh-fest. Next time, MareLin is not allowed to be mimosa maker. 😉

MareLin would also like to acknowledge that she knows the difference between parameter and perimeter; just go with it as you’re listening. The parameter of the perimeter, if you will.

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
