What it's All About:Another Middle Eastern form of paganism. It is somewhat similar to Mesopotamian paganism. Much like the Romans borrowed the Greek gods from the Greeks, Mesopotamia borrowed from tribes like the Sumerians. I will discuss some interesting facts about the ancient Sumerians and how this pantheon can be incorporated into modern paganism. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Ereshkigal.

What it's All About:One of the most popular forms of paganism is this. It is also somewhat difficult to discuss. Why? Most of the myths of ancient Rome are actually influenced by the myths of ancient Greece. The only difference is the names of the gods. There are added myths and rituals which I will discuss here. I know I will talk about their festivals, two of which are now modern holidays. Maybe we can talk about how Modern Roman Paganism is practiced today. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Venus. The Dream Symbols are inflatable mattress, inspection, and necklace.Songs Featured:1. Het Verbond Met Rome by Heidevolk2. Augeries of Love by OMNIA3. Lupercalia by Faun4. Venus and the Fly by KIVA5.

What it's All About:There is a pantheon of gods that is centered on this path of paganism. I will explore this in this episode of the podcast. There are witches who worship these gods.

What it's All About:Some of us who began as pagans went through the Correllian Nativist Tradition. You got all three degrees and learned more about the tradition. If you are unfamiliar with this path, I will explain it more in this show. There are many paths one can take within the Wiccan Religion, including the Correllian Nativist Tradition. It incorporates the use of nature and ancient pagan practices into its practices. Listen to the podcast to learn more.

What it's All About:Time to discuss another form of paganism, or rather Wicca: Alexandrian. This is for newcomers to this path who haven't yet decided what they wish to worship. In some ways, it is like Gardnerian Wicca, but in other ways it is different. Listen to the show to learn more.

What it's All About:This one is for all you Pagan Healers out there. Despite this, I would rather focus my attention on nurses, doctors, and other health professionals who have spent years studying before they begin working in their field. There is nothing wrong with herbalists, energy workers, and others working in alternative health. There's just been a lot of stress, Covid patients, and misinformation in traditional health care for the past two years. It's just that there are people in the health care profession who are also pagan. I believe traditional and alternative medicine can also work together. The spirit guide of the week is Chiron and the dream symbols are undress, zipper, and eagle.Songs Featured:1. Health of the Company by Blackmore’s Night2. Medicine Wheel by Brian Henke3.

 What it's All About:Two weeks ago, I looked at Rituals. Today, I'm going to talk about creating your own spells. I'm aware that not all pagans do spells, but some of us do. So, I will discuss how you can create rituals and spells to suit a variety of needs, from healing to prosperity, to business. I will discuss the history of spell work and why we require ingredients for it. The spirit guide of the week is Circe and the dream symbols are knitting, pan, and paper.Songs Featured:1.

 What it's All About:This show is for all the Novice Pagans out there. Notice that I did not say the other catchphrase when it comes to new pagans. Why? Because I don't want to dumb anyone down. It's a beginner's guide to something you can continue learning about your entire life, so it covers the basics of what rituals entail. For those of you who have been on this path for a while, this might be a refresher show for you. Songs Featured:1. Ritual by Jana Runnalls2. Ritual by Hexperos3.

 What it's All About:It is a serious subject. This isn't about pagan discrimination. There are a few heathen covens out there who make the rest of us look bad. Not all heathens or pagan are racist. It is irrelevant what color your skin is. Go ahead and be a pagan. We discuss this group as well as my own personal reasons for doing this show. I apologize for the two mistakes I made. First, I'm angry with these racists, so the sound quality is uneven. The second mistake I made was giving you the wrong URL for one of the articles I mentioned. It's humanisticpaganism.com/2016/08/31/ho…cleland-host/ (Note: this URL might not be up anymore). Crystal Blanton's book Bringing Race to the Table: Exploring Racism in the Pagan Community is available at Amazon.com/Bringing-Race-Tab...ook/dp/B00T5KABMS. Heathens United Against Racism has changed its name to Heathens Against Hate. They can be found on www.heathensagainst.org.

 What it's All About:The idea of relating to Nature and the Environmental movement is an important part of Paganism. We believe that we are all a part of the Earth, and as such, it's our duty to take care of each other as well as protect the environment. It doesn't only mean planting trees or recycling; this also includes being involved in activism movements like those against global warming or extinction events on behalf of animals. The spirit guide of the week is Pachamama. The dream symbols are umbrella, alligator, and altar.Songs Featured:1. Mother Nature by Pagan Rap Gang2. Soul of Nature by Jenna Greene3.
