         <title>Home and Hearth</title>
         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=9496</link>
         <description><![CDATA[We’re thick into the Holiday season, and as we move ever deeper into the Season of Cold and Dark, we take the opportunity to look even more Inward.

This is not a season for Wanderlust. Rather, this is the time of year that calls us back home. So, that’s what I want to talk about this week - Home and Hearth is our theme. We’re going to take a look at what The Home has meant to humans down the ages, and how people in different cultures have related to that ever so important part of the home - The Hearth.

You know, you DO have a “Hearth”. The idea seems outdated. But we’re going to look at ways that the Hearth has remained in our consciousness whether we live in a country farm house or a modern high rise.

Plus, I’m happy to welcome back MaryAnna Abuzahra!  After a long absence she is once again with us to give her weekly astrology report.

Hope you enjoy the show!]]></description>

         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=9391</link>
         <description><![CDATA[This week on The Spiral Dance, our theme is Thanksgiving. And we’re going to talk a bit about some of the earlier traditions that the American holiday of Thanksgiving is born out of.  And listen along as we explore North America through a Native American’s eyes. I’ve got a reading that I’ll share with you for that.

         <title>Three Topics for Late Autumn</title>
         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=9246</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Autumn is associated with the West, and in the Witches Pyramid, the West is To Dare.  So, Autumn is the time of Daring. What does that mean to you to Dare? Why is it important to Dare? How often in your life do you dare yourself, and for what purpose?

To try and answer this, we’ll talk about the Goddess Persephone’s descent into the underworld.  We’ll see how this story teaches us to push ourselves when we most need  to.

Also, While some people seem to be more naturally plugged into the psychic circuit, it is important to know that the wiring is present in all of us.  This is called Activating Your Psychic Awareness

Plus, William Blake once said, "I must create my own system, or be enslaved by another man's."  We’ll take a look at the power of Chaos Magick.]]></description>

         <title>Pagan Spiritualism; A Conversation with Zackary Fisk</title>
         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=9152</link>
         <description><![CDATA[My guest this week is Zackary Fisk, a principal member of The Church of Eternal Light.

The Church of Eternal Light is a Pagan Spiritualist church located in Bristol, Connecticut, where they offer weekly services as well as sabbat rituals, workshops and classes.. 

I have a recording of our discussion which covered such topics as the history of the church, some of their basic tenants and also their workshops and classes.  I was very happy to welcome Zackary Fisk to The Spiral Dance for the first time. 

Also, what is “Divination”?  Is it merely fortune-telling as many believe?  In the second half of the show, we’ll take a look at how the ancient Greeks used Divination.

Plus, lets do a ritual to request for Religious Freedom for everyone.

I hope you enjoy this week’s show!]]></description>

         <title>Panel Discussion; Pagans and the Media</title>
         <link>http://media.blubrry.com/wiccapagan/radiohawthorne.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=366&amp;pid=9047</link>
         <description><![CDATA[On October 25th it was my honor and pleasure to moderate a discussion panel as a part of “Celebrate Samhain”.  “Celebrate Samhain” is an annual event which occurs in Peterborough, New Hampshire, at the Unitarian Universalist Church.  It includes workshops, vendors, music – and it features the discussion panel.  This year’s discussion panel was “Pagans and the Media”.  We started with a definition of how we most want to be represented in the media and included ways to ensure that we are represented as fairly as we can possibly be.

This week I’m playing a recording of the panel discussion for you.  The audio quality isn’t the best; you might have to crank the volume up.  And the tape cuts off about a minute or two short, but I think you’ll get something out of it.  It lasts for about an hour and will therefore take up the greatest bulk of this week’s show.  I hope you enjoy it!
