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.

We roast some pork and veggies in our cauldrons, prep for Saimhain, get a visit from Chief Seattle during Old Ones Wisdom, and leave you with a  Spell of the Week that uses the power of water and scrying. Have a listen below.

Our handsome Prince of Cups came to join us for the podcast this week.

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

*Date note:  Income Tax Day for the United States is traditionally on April 15 each year. This past year it was on the 17th because the 15th fell on a weekend. MareLin may have confused a few folks, so we just wanted to make that clear.
