August 2022 Episodes:
- On Fate and Fatalsim
- Listen:
- This week is all about Fate and Fatalism.
We all like to beleive that we are the Masters of our own Fate. But cultures around the world and down the ages have all felt quite differently.
Fate may or may not be the plaything of the Gods. But, for YOU, Little Ant, that hardly matters much.
So this week we take a look at the Morai and that thread they've been weaving for us. Then there's Karma and Kismet to consider.
And right up to modern times, philosophers continue to argue about just what Fate is, and how it differs from Fatalism, Determinism ... and about a dozen other "isms" that all describe what you CAN'T Do.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Link- Sacred Geometry
- Listen:
- The belief that God created the universe according to a geometric plan has ancient origins. I'm not so sure that anything created the universe - or more accurately, the Multi-verse - I kind of believe that it created itself, or in a word, it's come-of itself.
But, whatever the case may be I think it's fair-enough to say that there is an intelligence - perhaps an intelligence WE would consider to be Devine - that seems to be, shall we say, in the Director's Chair.
And if that's fair to say, then what might be the tools by which Devine Intelligence directs the show? The Ancients, and many people today, believe the answer can be found in mathematics; specifically Geometry.
So, this week we delve into the world of Pythagoras and Plato. We enter Metatron's Cube and come out in the Fourth Dimension!
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Random Acts of Kindness
- Listen:
- Just what kind of a world DO we want? I think most of us really do have an answer to that. The bigger question is how do we achieve it.
New Age people would tell you that the world IS changing - the paradigm is shifting away from violence fear and selfishness and toward caring and something that is more on the Soul level. But, like all upheavals - changes for the better are met with resistance from the other perspective; thus the increase in violence and chaos that we know all too well.
And what can we do in our daily lives to help the paradym shift that we would love to see and know that we need? Random Acts of Kindness are small gestures that can go a long way. So let's find out what they are, why they're so cool and how we can do them.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Gifts from the Gods; Beer, Bread and Corn
- Listen:
- This week we continue our celebration of Lammas, the Sabbat where we celebrate the beginnings of the harvest. Central to the first harvest in Wheat, Corn and, of course, Beer.
Many different civilizations and peoples down the ages and around the world had deities dedicated to beer or brewing, or some related endeavor. There are over 100 different deities to drink a toast to, and we'll take a look at just a few.
Deities dedicated to wheat are, for the most part, goddesses, although there are some Gods as well.
Native Americans recognize dieties and spirits of Corn.
For many cultures, the breaking of bread is symbolic of peace and hospitality. Our beloved bread, a mainstay around the world and down the ages has lots of symbolism, as well as superstition - and a few interesting quotes.
Also, I have a BBC report that I found on Youtube, all about a Peruvian Beer ritual that reaches back to pre-Columbian times.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
