November 2022 Episodes:
- Living the Dark
- Listen:
- This week here on The Spiral Dance, we give the Dark of the Year a true Welcoming.
We all know it's rediculous to be afraid of the Dark, but cultural associations with Darkness remain strong, and it seems almost natural to be uncomfortable with this time of the year..
So, we'll talk about the gifts that this time of the year bring us - such as much needed rest! And much needed introspection as well.
And we'll take a look at the Dark Side of Your Moon. You know when the Dark of your Moon is showing up whenever you find yourself in emotional turmoil. Understanding this will help you put yourself right.
Then I want to share some thoughts about using the energy of Surrendering in this Dark Time.
And that will bring us to a talk from Echart Tolle on the Deeper Dimensions of Stillness.
Finally, I have some recipes to help you fend off winter-related illnesses.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Link- Holy Grail, Holy Cauldron
- Listen:
- What is this thing that people are so enamored of? Did it even exist? People have been searching for it for hundreds of years, and it seems whenever they decide they can't find it, they create stories about it.
So, let's travel back the the 12th century, where the myth of the Holy Grail seems to have it's beginnings. And we'll take a look at some of the embellishments that have been attached to it over time.
There does seem to be a link between the Holy Grail of Christian myth and the Celtic tradition of the Cauldron. We'll get into that, and we'll also listen to a kid's story from Disney called The Black Cauldron.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
- Secrets and Lies! On Pagan Ethics
- Listen:
- 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 soley 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 Been? Where Goin?
- Listen:
- This week here on The Spiral Dance, the topic is Reincarnation.
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.
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
