In this episode I celebrate the passing of the snow and winter and the promise of spring.  I also enjoy a walk hearing the story of Tragoe.  Tragoe is a Nature-loving Pagan artist who gave up his military and academic career to look for the answer of the question: “What is the sound of darkness?”

Tragoe’s journey is dressed with his original neo-folk signature sound. Through his music, he’s narrating stories from the past and pondering life. Tragoe’s music is performed exclusively with traditional Greek folk instruments, honoring his roots & ancestors.

Flora has been known as the Good Luck Lady for over 20 years helping people fix their bad luck and expand their good luck.  She is a teacher, witch, spiritual medium, reader, and Priestess to the Goddess.  Flora has spent her life interviewing sacred arts practitioners to better understand how they use magical technology and methods to improve the world around them.  It is through these experiences she found that she is gifted at working luck technology and has since dedicated her time to refining her skills and practices. Flora recently moved back to the Oklahoma City area with her husband and little dog Iggy Pup.

In this episode we explore topics such as Godless Paganism, embodied spirituality, and letting go of the gods you once served.   In this episode I interview Stephen Dillard-Carroll.   Stephen is an embodied spirit living as full a human life as possible. He works as a psychic helping other embodied spirits realize their full potential. He does ancestral work as well, connecting embodied spirits to their ancestral kin. Finally, he loves long walks on the beach, cute guys, and fried chicken!
