Aging in Paganism Episode
What it's All About:
We all know that this is something that we all having to face, pagan or not. Yet, today’s society is all about youth and forgetting about our elderly people. At the same time, paganism is all about the wisdom of the Crone and her male consort.
Paganism respects wisdom that comes with age, seeing it as a source of knowledge. We appreciate older pagans for their knowledge and experience as mentors and teachers. Pagan traditions have a great respect for their elders. We see older members of the community as guides to the young, and we sometimes ask their advice for.
As we age, we also go through spiritual growth and reflection. We look back on our lives as we get older and use it to reflect on accomplishments and failures and learn from them. We should use this time to look within ourselves and find spiritual guidance. This is what I will talk about in this show. The spirit guide is the Gorilla and the Dream symbols are Fake, famine, and feast.

What it's All About:
Becoming a Pagan can be a life-changing experience. It's not just about a change in beliefs — it's a change in lifestyle. When a person becomes Pagan, they open themselves up to a different way of looking at the world. They learn to see the connection between all things and the sacred energy that flows through them. They embrace the cycles of nature, and they become more aware of their place in the grand scheme of things. In addition, they build a connection with the elements, animals, and plants around them.develop a deeper connection to the elements, the animals, and the plants around them. They become more knowledgeable about rituals and magick, and they understand the power of intention.

Anglo-Saxon Paganism Episode
What it's All About:
Anglo-Saxon Pagans are a loose label used to describe the diverse group of historically Pagan peoples living in the territory of modern England, beginning with Germanic peoples during the 5th century and continuing into the present. They may share certain commonalities with Modern Paganism, such as reverence for nature and other animals (particularly equine), divination practices, and seasonal celebrations. However, they may also differ in beliefs and practices that reflect their diverse origins and varying understandings of what makes up "pagan." For example, while Anglo-Saxon Pagans may share some commonalities with Modern Paganism, they may also have different understandings of what makes up "pagan" tradition. This is what I am going to discuss on this podcast. The spirit guide of the week is Eostre and the dream symbols are serial killer, sewing machine, and shaving.

Small Town Pagan Episode
What it's All About:
Small town Pagans are people who live in small rural communities. A lot of these Pagans live solitary lifestyles and don't have anyone to socialize with, so they find community online or go to small festivals.

Narcissism in Paganism Episode
What it's All About:
Back to our regularly scheduled program. Narcissism is every, even in the pagan community. The allure of Neo-Paganism is partly due to its emphasis on community and inclusivity. However, an emphasis on community also requires an ability to put oneself second—or at least be open to doing so—and this can be difficult for those with narcissistic tendencies. Many Pagans see Neo-Paganism as a safe space where they can be their true selves without judgment or fear of reprisal; however, this can be hard for those with narcissistic tendencies because they crave praise and adulation from other people. And some of these narcissists can be quite successful in the Pagan community by becoming leaders and teachers. But this is dangerous. I will explore this topic in more detail in the podcast. You can probably guess who the spirit guide of the week is. I am going to mention them here. However, the dream symbols are Immolation, Instrument, and Iron.

Mayan Paganism Episode
What it's All About:
It's all about the ancient Mayans. This culture has a deep connection to nature that many of us can learn from and incorporate into our own modern pagan practices. This civilization is known for its detailed astrological knowledge, its connection with the earth, its respect for nature, its connection with the stars, as well as its detailed understanding of how these things affect our lives. There is also a strong connection between Mayan culture and the spiritual world. I will discuss this all on show. The spirit of the week is Ixchel and the dream symbols are television and police.

Sumerian Paganism Episode
Another Middle Eastern form of paganism. It is somewhat similar to Mesopotamian paganism. Much like the Romans borrowed the Greek gods from the Greeks, Mesopotamia borrowed from tribes like the Sumerians. I will discuss some interesting facts about the ancient Sumerians and how this pantheon can be incorporated into modern paganism. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Ereshkigal. And the Dream Symbols are Sandals, Scalp, and Sea. Not for those of you who listening to the podcast here: For some reason, I cannot add any of the links on here. You might have to go to the blog.

Roman Paganism Episode
What it's All About:
One of the most popular forms of paganism is this. It is also somewhat difficult to discuss. Why? Most of the myths of ancient Rome are actually influenced by the myths of ancient Greece. The only difference is the names of the gods. There are added myths and rituals which I will discuss here. I know I will talk about their festivals, two of which are now modern holidays. Maybe we can talk about how Modern Roman Paganism is practiced today. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Venus. The Dream Symbols are inflatable mattress, inspection, and necklace.

Mesopotamian Paganism Episode
What it's All About:

I will share a bit more about this path, the history of this ancient land, as well as introduce you to some deities. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Nabu. The Dream Symbols are: Darkness, Date, and Deer.

Correllian Nativist Tradition Episode
What it's All About:
Some of us who began as pagans went through the Correllian Nativist Tradition. You got all three degrees and learned more about the tradition. If you are unfamiliar with this path, I will explain it more in this show. There are many paths one can take within the Wiccan Religion, including the Correllian Nativist Tradition. It incorporates the use of nature and ancient pagan practices into its practices. Listen to the podcast to learn more. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Nefertum and the Dream Symbols are Talent Show, Tank and Tarot Card.

Alexandrian Tradition Episode
What it's All About:
Time to discuss another form of paganism, or rather Wicca: Alexandrian. This is for newcomers to this path who haven't yet decided what they wish to worship. In some ways, it is like Gardnarian Wicca, but in other ways it is different. Listen to the show to learn more.

Ley Lines Episode
What it's All About:
The question that you may ask is "What are ley lines?" and "What does that have to do with paganism?". This is where I get esoteric. There are several places on the earth's surface that are thought to be aligned by ley lines. Depending on their location, these may (or may not) correspond to rivers, towns, and mountain peaks. Many ancient buildings were built near ley lines to harness their power, according to anecdotes, so it's not surprising that pagans would be drawn to. I will talk about what ley lines are, the most famous sites where you can see them, and why they are important to paganism. The spirit guide of the week is Squirrel and the dream symbols are jewelry and job.

How to Create Your Own Spells Episode
What it's All About:
Two weeks ago, I looked at Rituals. Today, I'm going to talk about creating your own spells. I'm aware that not all pagans do spells, but some of us do. So, I will discuss how you can create rituals and spells to suit a variety of needs, from healing, to prosperity, to business. I will discuss the history of spell work and why we require ingredients for it. The spirit guide of the week is Circe and the dream symbols are knitting, pan, and paper.

How to Create Your Own Ritual Episode
What it's All About:
This show is for all the Novice Pagans out there. Notice that I did not say the other catchphrase when it comes to new pagans. Why? Because I don't want to dumb anyone down. It's a beginners guide to something you can continue learning about your entire life, so it covers the basics of what rituals entail. For those of you who have been on this path for a while, this might be a refresher show for you.

Rebroadcast of the Racism in Paganism Episode from September 29, 2017
What it's All About:
It is a serious subject. This isn't about pagan discrimination. There are a few heathen covens out there who make the rest of us look bad. Not all heathens or pagan are racist. It is irrelevant what color your skin is. Go ahead and be a pagan. We discuss this group as well as my own personal reasons for doing this show. I apologize for the two mistakes I made. First, I'm angry with these racists, so the sound quality is uneven. The second mistake I made was giving you the wrong URL for one of the articles I mentioned. It's humanisticpaganism.com/2016/08/31/ho…cleland-host/ (Note: this URL might not be up anymore). Crystal Blanton's book Bringing Race to the Table: Exploring Racism in the Pagan Community is available at Amazon.com/Bringing-Race-Tab...ook/dp/B00T5KABMS. Heathens United Against Racism has changed its name to Heathens Against Hate. They can be found on https://www.heathensagainst.org. The spirit guide of the week is the dove and snake is the dream symbol

Paganism and the Environment Episode
What it's All About:
The idea of relating to Nature and the Environmental movement is an important part of Paganism. We believe that we are all a part of the Earth, and as such, it's our duty to take care of each other as well as protect the environment. It doesn't only mean planting trees or recycling; this also includes being involved in activism movements like those against global warming or extinction events on behalf of animals. The spirit guide of the week is Pachamama. The dream symbols are umbrella, alligator, and altar.

Sabbat Episode
What it's All About:
Sabbats are the cornerstone to everything Pagan/Wiccan. The Wheel of the Year is based on the all eight of them, which have varying degrees and meanings in different traditions. These days, many of us Pagans celebrate them as a time for family gatherings and community events or festivals that include music, dancing, feasting and other celebrations. The spirit guide of the week is Moose. The dream symbols are kidnap, packing, and picture.

Triple God Episode
What it's All About:
Well, you heard about the Triple Goddess, but have you heard about the Triple God? Because we live in a patriarchal society, we pagans emphasize more on the goddess than the god. So, I will balance things out on this show and talk about what it means for our spiritual lives when there is a male deity involved as well - because that's just how it goes sometimes! The spirit guide of the Week is Brahma and the dream symbol is fire.

Taoism in Paganism Episode
What it's All About:
How does Taoism fit into Paganism? The answer to this question is that it doesn't. It's not a religion but an ancient philosophy and way of life. Some people who practice the Taoist path identify as Pagans or Wiccans because they believe in nature worshiping and using magic for healing purposes. I will explain more about Taoism on the podcast. The Spirit Guide is the Lord of T'ai Shan and Dream Symbols are videotape, virgin, and abdomen.

Coming From the Vault October 12th, 2019 - Vampire Episode
Note:
I wanted to re-air this episode since Anne Rice died a week ago. You can also request to hear an old show that I already had put out.
Summary:
I did post some articles on both Facebook and Twitter saying that the movie "The Craft" got people interested in Paganism. That wasn't my case. Neither did reading any Harry Potter books got me into the path either. It was from being an
Anne Rice fan that got me into the idea of being a Pagan. She didn't just write stories about Vampires, but about witches too. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Baba Yaga and the Dream Symbol is Spider.

Triple Goddess Episode
What it's All About:
The Triple Goddess is a concept in Wicca, a modern Pagan new religious movement, which usually includes the feminine deity, the Earth Mother, the goddess of love and fertility, and the goddess of death and magic. The idea of three phases can be traced back to ancient history. The three phases are thought to represent the cycles of nature- that is, earth/sky/sea or birth/life/death. I will be talking about all this in the show, so stay tuned. The spirit guide of the week is Lakshmi and the dream symbols are labor and ladder.

Modern-Day Witch Hunt Episode
What it's All About:
Believe it or not, there are still Witch Hunts going on in the world today. I am not talking about the figurative ones. I am talking about real-life witch hunts around the world where people are still getting arrested or even killed for practicing witchcraft. I'll mention where these are still happening today.

Missing Norse Mythology Episode
What it's All About:
For those of you who didn't know, I did a show all about Norse Mythology in the past. But, I did another episode on how white supremacists are using anything Norse and pretend that they are pagan when they are not. That's when I decided to delete the first show. However, I am rectifying that to redo the topic of Nordic Mythology. The spirit guide of the week is Frigg and I mispronounced two of her son's names. The dream symbol is Spider.

Zombie Episode
What it's All About:
For all of you horror movie fans out there, this episode is all about the zombie.

Liminal Deities/Request Episode
What it's All About:

Down the Crossroads Episode
What it's All About:
It is not about Hekate or the devil. And it's nothing to be scared of either. It is more about where we are in our own path in life. Which decision do you want to make to go down one of the two paths? Is it a good decision? When we look back, did we make the right choices? I will not answer these questions for you because they are yours to make. But I will be talking about this in the show. The Spirit Guides of the week are the Dosojin and the Dream Symbols are: ice, needle and nest.

The New Pagan Stereotype Episode
What it's All About:
This topic was a result of me talking to two non-pagans. Their first thought when I mentioned paganism isn't devil-worshipping, but something else. What they said, I was happy at the same time, concerned about it. I'll explain what that is and why I am on the fence about this. Plus, we can do as pagans to ensure we change the perspective of others. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Freyr and the Dream Symbols are Apartment, Bathroom/Washroom, and Drain.
