Had a wonderful time talking to Fleetwood! He shares a bit of his story, how he grew up and what brought him to where he is today. We also talk about different aspects of spirituality, and the tarot! - we also go through a reading he generously did for me about my band. Below are the links to his Instagram and website! https://www.instagram.com/treefishtarot?igsh=MTRmbXl6anh6N3FpMg== www.fiverr.com/treefishtarot “Put some flour on your hand and fix those goddamn biscuits!”

A look at a Hindu story on Parashurama.

"Abstract": Standard approaches to the problem of evil seem to treat good and bad events as objective and rank-ordered on an absolute scale. Intuitively, however, whether something is good or bad depends on what you value, and what you value in turn depends on what kind of person you are and the events that have shaped the course of your life. In desiring any significantly different existence, therefore, you risk wishing away the very circumstances that make it possible for you to appreciate whatever it is you are wishing for. Conversely, the best of all possible worlds--or at least the best possible past--has a way of being whatever actually happened, almost purely in virtue of the fact that it happened. These reflexive observations make the problem of evil--effectively the question of whether our circumstances bespeak divine providence or negligence--"inevaluable" as standardly posed. Such "inevaluability" is the key theme that this episode circles around. For it and other insights I am indebted to my friend Luke Thompson, to whom this episode is dedicated.

A series of clips I strung together from some other conversations about the fractal pattern of the trinity.

This episode is an attempt at doing a Christmas movie review. We never quite got the timing right where our schedules lined up. Probably because of the other gods.  Anyway, I tried to splice together pieces of what we talked about. 

The Green Knight is an amazing movie (-Christmas movie-), and I encourage anyone to watch it.

Craig Fay, Darragh Mason, Wae Wang and I attempt to explore the topic of beauty but get distracted by different side trails, although I believe it was still related, even if indirectly. It was a fun conversation and I really enjoyed it. I hope you do as well.

In this episode we talk about connecting with nature, the goddess, and the divine feminine. We talk a little bit about sacred vessels, mothers, spinning, gardening and folk magic. Wae also shares the story of the Cauldron of Creation and aspects of druidry.

Exploring how one might read and approach the scriptures. How does one make sense of this book that seemingly contradicts itself at different angles? How do we attempt to understand this? 

“Specifically wondering, what standard of intelligibility do we think scripture can satisfy? Sometimes we defend it by using logical arguments. At other times, we say that it “transcends” logic, and that we’re not meant to bother trying.”

 Always a pleasure to talk to this most humble servant, who does what is his duty to do.
