February 2023 Episodes:
- February; Fire and Ice
- Listen:
- February is one of the most primordial months. It's all about extremes. And, like the sabbat Imbolc, it's just as much about Fire as it is about Ice.
Fire and Ice are the Primordial elements that, in the Norse Tradition that formed to create our world. So this is a good time to think a bit about the Nordic Tradition; just what is and what it means.
The Heathens tell us that Polarities set up from Fire and Ice started Polarities in other realms of reality - even men and women. We'll talk more about that.
B well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Link- Animal Totems; Yay or Nay?
- Listen:
- This week, we're discussing Animal Totems. In the general neoPagan community people - not everyone - who work with animal spirit guides talk about Animal Totems.
Purists will tell you that that's kind of a misnomer. Totems are not really spirit guides and spirit guides are not really totems.
Where do YOU stand on this immense question?? Well, I'm here to untangle the whole mess and by the time we're finished we'll all know what really is what.
So we start of with a pretty clear definition of what a Totem is - where the word came from and how it was used. And we'll look at WHERE the word was used as well. Plus, we'll find out what Carl Gustave Jung had to say about Totems.
Then we'll get into Power Animals, and animal guides, with some - interesting - contemporary theories on the subject.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Love Notes for Valentine's Day
- Listen:
- Valentine's Day is upon us! Let's pass a couple love notes!
Some people believe that the Ancient Roman holiday of the Lupercalia was the forerunner to Valentine's Day. That's not actually true, but there are some associations so we'll take a look at what the Lupcalia was all about.
Then we'll talk a bit about the Christian St. Valentine - or ValentineS, plural. There was actually more than one Valentine - but were they all lovers??
Which brings us to Romantic Love - as old as the human race, right? Yes, and no. As in all aspects of love, the answer is never a simple one. But we'll talk about the poet Chaucer and the middle ages and go from there.
And where to go? Sex Magick!
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Walking With Earth Magick
- Listen:
- This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate The Earth.
After we Give Thanks to the Earth, we're going to look at Earth Magick; specifically the Element of Earth - what that's meant since ancient times and what it means in ceremonial magick today. And we'll look at the tradtions of Gnomes, the Fay and Lay Lines.
And since we're celebrating The Earth, we'll celebrate the Earth Mother and specifically the Goddess Gaia.
And just to liven up the soup - Salt!
And we'll finish up with an Earth Meditation Ritual.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
