July 2022 Episodes:
- A Lammas Celebration
- Listen:
- It's Lammas, or Lughnasadh, the Sabbat where many Wiccans and Pagans celebrate the beginnings of the harvest. This Sabbat is about the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth -- the grain god dies, but will be reborn again in the spring.
Depending on your tradition, you may also observe this Sabbat as the day of the Celtic craftsman god, Lugh. Lugh was known to the Celts as a god of craftsmanship and skill -- in fact, he was known as the Many-Skilled God, because he was good at so many different things. Take the opportunity this day to celebrate your own skills and abilities, and make an offering to Lugh to honor him, the god of craftsmanship.
So this week we'll celebrate Lamas as we look at both the tradition of the Harvest Festival and the honoring of Lough.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Link- Amulets and Talismans
- Listen:
- This week's show is dedicated to a specific part of the World of Magick; Amulets and Talismans.
What's so great about talismans, or amulets? Simply the fact that they've always been around and we use them to this very day. In fact people in mainstream religions knowingly use them.
So, we're going to try to delinate the difference between an amulet and a talisman. Then we'll look at examples of amulets and talismans down the ages.
And I have a story for you where objects are doing magickal things with a specific purpose. It's a traditional story presented, by Mara Freeman, called "The Prince,The Fox and the Sword of Light".
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Summertime, Fire and the South
- Listen:
- Let's take advantage of these Hot Summer Days! We'll head off to the Southern Quarter and do some Fire Magick!.
We'll take a look at the Qualities that the Element of Fire posseses; how they're used in Occult Traditions. Does that sound like Pyrolatry to you? If you worship Fire it just might. Fire is worshipped by itself in many cultures, but more commonly it's associated with Fire Dieties. As you might expect, examples abound.
Along all these lines I want to share with you a -sort of poem - or maybe a sort of poetic Blog. It was written by Sage Sweetwater back in '09. It's called "Pyruodulia and Dissolution".
Now, you're familiar, I'm sure, with the Chinese system of Feng Shui. Well, there is an Indian System called Vastu Shastra which is quite similar to Feng Shui. Vastu Shastra uses the symbols and energies of the sun to help you find peace and balance in your home environment.
Then finally; part and parcel to Fire is the condition of Light. So I have a guided meditation for you. This is presented by Bente Hesan, and it's called "Luminescent Reflections". I think you'll enjoy listening to this.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
