KaliSara and RevKess once again delve into some of the latest news that effects the Pagan community.

Yule has just passed and other Winter holidays are on the horizon. Your hosts will talk a bit about dealing with family this time of year.

The runnin gag of George RR Martin needing to fired from 2016 is annoying, but this year seems to have brought about more celebrity death than the usual. Let us hope that 2017 will be less so. *a moment of silence for Zsa Zsa Gabor*

Be sure to listen all the way through for KaliSara's News in a Flash

Tune in and listen to a selection of twenty New Age and Pagan songs for the Winter season. Yule is upon us in the Northern Hemisphere, and RevKess wanted to share some of his favorite instrumental and vocal pieces with all of you. With artists like Sharon Knight, Celia, Erwilian, and Blackmore's Night you will hear familiar Pagan themes. Artists like Louis Colaiannia, David Wahler, and Peter Kater sooth you with New Age instrumentals that are sure to warm the heart. 

We at Pagan-Musings hope that you have a warm, fun-filled, and family (of blood or choice)-filled Yuletide Season.

Join KaliSara and RevKess as they address some of the headlines from across the country and around the globe in this edition of the Pagan Weekly News.

Warnings of what Trump could do as early as day one have been trumpeted through the headlines (or praised, depending on the media source); solar energy can (and does) produce more enough than enough; rumblings of 2020 are already niggling at liberals and progressives alike. All of this, and much more as well as KaliSara's News in a Flash.

RevKess and KaliSara pull a multicolored rabbit out of their....hats. Yeah, hats! They have found themselves without a guest and are going to wing it. It is winter time in the Northern climes, the wind is howling, snow keeps threatening. Your hosts will try to keep you warm for the evening and share some fun for the Winter Holidays.

The conversation did take an odd turn and portions of the show might not be suitable for younger listeners. That said, the show follows the typical musing pattern and should prove to be quite entertaining at part. Something about werewolves, velociraptors, and fireplace kitties....

Join RevKess & KaliSara as they talk about politics, science, religion, and other news.

Brian Aden and Erin Hoffmeyer of the Lincoln Atheists join KaliSara and  RevKess for a discussion of religious (or lack there of) equality and freedom. The Lincoln Atheists have hit the news a few times over recent months with some of their displays and advertising efforts becoming controversial in the Lincoln, NE area. They have had a winter holiday display in the state capitol building and a billboard at a major intersection. Both of these have receive some not so friendly reactions from members of the Christian communities in Lincoln. These and other topics will be on the agenda for this edition of Pagan-Musings Podcast.

From their about page: Lincoln Atheists was started solely as a social group for likeminded people in 2007 by Brian Aden (current President). Brian used his own time, money, and effort to give atheists in Lincoln an outlet in a notoriously conservative and religious state. The group initially used Meetup.org as a means to attract members and publicize social events, such as Coffee and Conversation and Monthly Dinner meetups. LA also made a few excursions to Ashfall Fossil Beds, and attended many movies and scientific lectures in the area.

In March of 2015, it was collectively decided by a majority of members to incorporate Lincoln Atheists as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, whereby LA could raise tax-free funds in order to promote the Mission Statement and broaden the scope of LA’s influence in Lincoln’s secular advocacy community.

Join KaliSara and RevKess as they talk politics, religion, and much more on this edition of the Pagan Weekly News. With President-elect Donald Trump naming potential cabinet members the progressives and liberals of America stand in fear and awe of what the future might hold. From anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ cabinet members to what the state government of North Dakota is doing at Standing Rock, the future of the United States is unstable and uncertain. Be the change you want to see in the world and stand up for the rights of minorities, the disenfranchised, and take action where you can against the governments and leaders that you disagree with.

Learn about these and other issues by tuning in to the show and remember to listen to the end to catch KaliSara's News in a Flash.
