Centered with Angie Yingst

Angie talks about the energy and medicine of Autumn Equinox, or Mabon as the Wiccans call it. I talk Demeter and Persephone, Gratitude, crystals, foraging and more. 

Here is Gregory Nagy's translation of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter

Great blogpost about Sunflower Medicine from the Sacred Gardener:

Quoting from this blogpost by Steven Martyn:

"We can also bring Sunflower’s shining radiance to our skin, topically. To make a healing salve, cream or ointment from Sunflower, there is an easy traditional method. I came across this as a Russian practice, but I think it’s likely that every culture that grew this generous being figured this one out because it’s dead easy. The whole heads are used to make an oil; for skin ailments, stiffness and rheumatoid arthritis. Harvest the flower heads as they begin to loose their petals, so seeds have formed on the outside but are also still ripening in the centre, (I also throw in leaves and small young heads in full-petal as well). Break them up a bit and fill a clay, enamel or glass pot with them. Add just enough spring water, so that they will boil down to a mash. If you don’t have spring or well water, then first, leave out an open cloth covered bowl of city water for a couple days. Most of the additives evaporate from the water in that time if there is adequate surface area. Keep the mash on a low simmer for a day or sun-infuse them for a couple sunny days, until the plant material looks visibility sapped. Strain out the plant material with a fine mesh sieve. Of the liquid left, the oil will float to the top. Skim off the oil. Store in cool area, fridge or freezer until you need to use it. The green water part, will make the oil go funky if left in, but has medicine and can be added in as the water portion when making salves or creams. This is not just sunflower oil but a powerful herbal infused liniment, all in one. Ready to rub, or be added as an oil into salve mixture. Truly a miracle plant."

This mini-episode is a discussion between Angie and Kyra about the Deep End, a documentary about the controversial spiritual leader, Teal Swan. If you have watched it, this episode is for you, because there are spoilers and we do not discuss the contents or go into details about what is happening in the documentary too much.

This is a crazy wandering episode about the recent Supreme Court decision about Roe v. Wade and how it relates to the Tarot Card of the Year--The Lovers. We pull some cards, and just ramble, as is our neurodivergent way.
