Link- The Human Tribe
- Listen:
- Thanksgiving is in a way a time when our various Tribes gather together. Whether it's blook relatives, or a Tribe by Choice, we travel from whereever we're living to whereever our larger family is - it may be over hundreds of miles, or just across town. But it's a time for us to renew our relationships with those who have been in our lives from the very beginning.
So, what is a TRIBE? Anthropologists don't really have answers, but they have alot of theories, and of course, lots of papers written about those theories.
This week, let's take a look at some of those theories, and see if we could come to a better understanding of how humans organized themselves in earlier times, and how some humans organize themselves even today.
And, are we STILL tribal? Some say Yes, and some say that that may be our saving grace in the long run!

- Eldering
- Listen:
- I once thought I was going to Live Hard and Die Young. That didn't work out! Maybe I didn't live hard enough, I don't know. But here I am, looking back at everything.
So, now what? Well, first thing, of course I DEMAND RESPECT!
But, Eldering" isn't really something you are; it's something you DO. The idea around Eldering is how older people can relate and function in the world. But in order to do that at all, there has to be some understanding of how their society looks at them, and chooses to relate to them.
So, we're going to look at how we relate to the elderly, both around the world and throughout time.
And we'll find ways for people to live with respect, and self-respect in todays world.

- Secrets and Lies! Pagan ethics
- Listen:
- Secrets and Lies!. This week, let's take a look at Pagan Ethics. I promise, we'll HARM NONE!.
A good place to start is to examine just what do we mean by Ethics in the first place. When did we start thinking about Ethics? What does it mean for us personally, or as a society, or, really, what does it mean for us a satient beings? Is the consideration Ethics solely a condition of being human?
The acedemic study of Ethics and its connected philosophies, has divided Ethics up into dozens of different Types, and we'll spend a good deal of time talking about many of the most well-known Ethical Types.
Then we'll connect all that to our current understanding of what modern Neo Pagan is and what might or might not be expected of those of us who call ourselves Pagan.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Reincarnation; Where Ya Been? Where Ya Goin?
- Listen:
- Some believe, some don't. Some say that know if for a fact, that they've experienced their past lives.
I don't make such claims myself, although I've experienced things that have given me pause for thought.
So I've got a poem on Reincarnation from the pen of Aleister Crowley. And I've got some info on how why and where the concept of Reincarnation developed.
We think of Reincarnation as an Eastern philosophy. But it can be found here in the West before the followers of the Abrahamic god decided to dictate reality to us. Nonetheless, I want to pay homage to some Eastern belief systems which have worked th concept out rather well.
Then we'll come back to the West, in the 19th and 20th centuries when Reincarnation started to retake it's hold in this part of the world.
And finally, some quotes from famous folk about Reincarnation.
