What It's All About:

You never think that there are pagans out there that have special abilities. But there are. And I am not saying that all Mediums and Psychics are pagan. Some are and some aren't. There are many different types of psychic abilities. There are tons of quizzes out there that ask what type of psychic ability you have. But the best way to find out is by taking a classes with a psychic. I'll explain more about this in the show. The Spirit Guide of the week is the Horse and the Dream Symbol is Pictures.

What It's All About

First of all, sorry for the low monotone voice on the podcast. The reason was that this was my second attempt at recording at 2 a.m. The first attempt did not go too well because Adobe Audition needed to be updated.

Other than that, You might think that Buddhism has nothing to do with Paganism. But it does. Plus there are Pagans out there that also practice Buddhism or parts of it. I remember messaging with one Zen Pagan about a very controversial symbol a few years ago. That was an insightful and delightful conversation. There are ways to incorporate some Buddhist practices into your path. I'll explain more in the show. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Avalokitesvara and the dream symbol is Key.

What It's All About:

I choose the above picture because Activism is more than just Black Lives Matter or against Racism. In fact Paganism and Activism go hand in hand. How you might ask? Well the root word for Pagan is from the country side. That means that we worship the earth. Otherwise, we are tree huggers. I don't think that I have ever hugged a tree, but I touched one that communicated with me in a strange way. We don't just want to save the environment, but we also want to protect all the wild animals that live in the forest, the sea or the dessert. I'm an animal lover myself.

But Pagan Activism is not limited to the Environment, Animal Rights, or getting rid of White Supremacists. There are feminists, some of Dianic, who are still fighting for women's rights. There are LGBTQ Pagans who are still fighting their own battles for their rights. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Medusa and the Dream Symbol is Animals.

What it's all about:

The idea for this show came about when I got a message from a listener on Twitter asking why we are not mainstream. We both ended up in a interesting discussion about this topic. The listening mentioning some of us being New Age "Fluffy bunnies" but not all of us are. I mentioned to this listener and I will talk about it here the two reasons why we are not mainstream. And for those of you who don't want to be exposed to too much politics, a warning that the second half of this show and the show coming up after this one, will be political. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Szelanya and the Dream Symbol is Legs.

What it's all about:

I am not a parent myself (I wish that I was, but that's another story), However, I have been in a coven where kids were also aloud to join. Not all covens will kids in. But there are some that will. I had no problems with the kids in my first coven. They do bring the energy into a ritual. I have been to two rituals that were run by kids and teens (With the help of mom and dad) by that same coven. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Birth Grandmother and the Dream Symbol is Birth.

What it's all about:

This topic was a request from a fan on Facebook. I don't know if I did do a show on this or not. Otherwise, please let me know. There was a blog that I posted on both Facebook and Twitter called Cross and Crossroads: Hexing for Social Justice. I did get one response from someone concerned about doing such a thing and remembering what the Wiccan Rede says. I know that are tons of injustices happening around the world and not just in North America. I do believe that not only Black Lives Matter, but Everyone's Lives Matters regardless of skin color, sexuality or gender. But I want to get back to talking about the Wiccan Rede and some how decipher it's meaning. The spirit guide of the week is Dog and the Dream Symbols are Worms, Bugs and Skin.

What it's all about:

This is not quit a Pagan topic, it's more New Age. When I first started off on my own path is also the first time that I was exposed to Reiki, For those of you who are new to Paganism, I'll explain what it is, the history of it, the different types of it, and also what it has to do with Paganism. If possible, I might talk about the training, since I have gone through it myself. I do think that Reiki, Wicca and Paganism go hand in hand. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Ba Den and the Dream Symbol is Room.

What it's all about:

This one is slightly difficult to explain. Here is a question for you all, where did the Greeks of ancient times come from? How did their mythology come about?
