January 2022 Episodes:
- The Stars of Winter
- Listen:
- This week we look up to find The Winter Triangle. Stars that are part of the Winter Triangle teach us that their forces can aid in the service to those of us who are spiritually attuned.
And we take it a step further as we honor two special "stars" of Winter; the Norse Goddess Skadi, and the Norse God, Ullr.
Now, did you know that Scandinavia may have been named after the Goddess Skadi. Some theorize that Scandinavia could mean "Skadi's island".
And finally, if you ski, then you've probably heard of Ullr. In Norse mythology, Ullr was considered a superb archer and skier, and was the god to invoke when engaging in single combat.
Then we'll talk some science and discover why the night sky of winter is so much brighter than it is in summer. It's not your imagination!
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Link- Happiness1
- Listen:
- This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate happiness!.
Happiness is an amorphous thing. It's hard to define, and sometimes it's hard to know if we really have it. But when we DO have happiness in our lives it truly is a Shiny thing.
So this week we're going to look at just what is meant by "happines", and we'll look at it from different perspectives - religious, or spiritual; philosophical; and Economic or Political.
Plus I want to share some famous quotes on the subject.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- All Along the Watchtowers
- Listen:
- We've all done it; we've created Sacred Space by calling the Spirits of the Four Directions. We stand at each direction and draw the appropriate pentagram and we Invoke the Spirits that have the appropriate character.
But where does all that mumbo jumbo come from? Some say Gerald Gardner, which is correct to a point. Others say that Witches have been doing that on their own and in secret, like, forever - which is really not at all true.
So this week we're going to find out who or what the Watchtowers are and where they came from.
They may or may not have something to do with Archangels, and Archangels may or may not be a Christian thing. Don't worry; I will not leave you in suspense for long.
But, like everything else, The Watchtowers DO have something to do with Stars; and so does the story of Orpheus, and his Lyre. We'll see how those tie together.
And I also have a spoken word meditation from Ted Andrews, called "The Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram".
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- The Philosopher's Stone
- Listen:
- This week here we're talking about the Philosopher's Stone.
Just what IS the Philosopher's Stone? Where does it come from? Is it even a Stone?
This question has been bothering people for generations. Some people just give up and say it's just a lot of poetic rhetoric. Others say, "No, look! I've done it! I've got it right here!"
Some say it's all Devilry, others say it's all God stuff. Well, you can choose as we try to sort it all out.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
