         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=7995</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Yes, there is magick everywhere, so let’s take a look where!  Here are a couple of places we’ll talk about on this week’s show.

For one, the Gloaming.  The gloaming is when twilight hovers between the boundaries of day and night.  It is an eerie, shadowy time of transformation and release.  We’ll take a look at what kinds of magick can be done at that time of the day.

Although we know the phrase, “Fee Fi Fo Fum” as from a popular children’s story, it actually has magickal origins.  Ancient cultures have always believed in the power of sounds and the spoken word as portals for reaching altered states of consciousness and trance.  We’ll take a look at the power of words and sounds.

Finally, have you ever walked into a house or onto a piece of land and felt strong emotions - either a profound connection or a forceful revulsion?  This is called “Energy of Place”, and we’ll look at how this can be a transformative, magickal experience.]]></description>

         <title>Lammas; The First Harvest</title>
         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=7900</link>
         <description><![CDATA[This week we’re celebrating the Wiccan sabbat known as Lammas.  Wednesday, August 1st, marks the Sabbat of Loughnasad, or Lammas!  It’s the holiday of the first harvest, and it marks the beginnings of The God’s decent. 

Loughnasahd is named for the Celtic God, Lough.  His name means “The Shining One”.  He is also known as Lew La-VA-da, “the Long-Armed”, and he is often referred to as “master of all arts”.

Lough is a God of the sun, light and the grain harvest. Like the Goddess Brigidt, he is a deity of many skills and he was a primary deity among the Druids.  Also, like Brigidt, he is associated with fire, metallurgy, crafting, weaving and as a protector of the weak.

Lough’s holiday on August First stands opposite Brigidt’s sabbat at the first of February.  As you consider The Wheel of the Year, think about the similarities and differences of these two polar-compliment deities.]]></description>

         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=7809</link>
         <description><![CDATA[This week we’re gonna Walk this World.  

Afterall,it’s Summertime, and it’s time for vacation – maybe a long distance trip, or – if you live on the coast as I do, a short drive to the beach.  But what about your spiritual practice?  Let’s take a look at how to become a Sacred Traveler.  And while we’re at it, let’s find some really magickal stuff at the beach!  And, finally because it IS summer, let’s all pay homage to Thor, the God of Thunder.

So get out your passport, or just clear your schedule, then listen along and relax.

         <description><![CDATA[This week, we’re going to talk about Runes.  Of course, everyone is familiar with Runes.  If you have never seen a Rune by now, then you’re really not walking around with your eyes open.  You can see them sold in gift stores just about anywhere you go.  

But,just what IS a “Rune”?  

That’s the sort of questions we’ll be looking at - what they are; where they came from; how they’re used - as well as what they’re NOT and how they’re NOT used.

And, as part of our discussion, we’ll listen, to Freya Aswynn, and her collection of “Songs of Yggdrasil”. “Songs of Yggdrassil” is a powerful and evocative recitation of Runic and Norse poems.  I think you’ll find it very informative.]]></description>

         <title>A Dark Moon Meditation</title>
         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=7616</link>
         <description><![CDATA[This week I have for you a Dark Moon Meditation. 

The Dark of the Moon can be an exceptionally powerful period. This is a time when we can look more deeply into ourselves and learn what it is that’s holding us back in Life. And, hopefully, learn what we can do about that. 

So, sit back while we cast a Widdershins Circle together.

Then, after all is said and done, we’ll listen to a recorded guided meditation from Christopher Penczak called, “Protection Spirit Journey”.
