In Divination Conjure Style , Author Starr Casas shares the secrets of conjure-style divination that she learned at home and that, until very recently, were family secrets that were only transmitted orally. Traditional conjure is the domain of the poor and disenfranchised, living in regions that were (and remain) unfriendly to esotericism and the occult. Thus, conjure divination relies on inexpensive tools that are not exclusively magical: playing cards, rather than tarot cards, or scrying with blue water instead of a crystal ball. During the show we talked about in depth about playing-card divination, throwing the bones, blue water divination and egg divination, but there are several other methods written about in the book as well. We also talked about communicating with spirits, the history of these methods and learned some practical information along the way. All in all, it was a fun, interesting and informative show.

This beautiful mansion in Cape May, New Jersey, built in 1863 was restored to it's original splendor after being abandoned for many years. It was once the home of the George Allen family and remained in the family for more than 80 years. When the last living relative passed, the house was sold and turned into a boarding house, and then sat empty. After the restoration, the mansion came back to life. Literally. Not just with guests staying at the Bed and Breakfast, but with some of the previous tenants who seem not to have left, even in death. Bruce said this is once of the most haunted locations he's ever been to, and says he is never disappointed when he visits. One spirit, the last original family member who lived there, Ester, is not the least bit shy and makes her presence known, both audibly and visually. Then there's the Civil War soldier, and several others, perhaps boarders, who still call the mansion their home. Listen in and hear all about the friendly spirits who share their home with all the guests who come and visit.

Angels are loving forces in our lives. Each of us has the ability to communicate with them if we open our minds to their teachings. In Lessons from the Twelve Archangels: Divine Intervention in Daily Life, she shares lessons, practices, and daily guidance from the 12 Archangels to help us listen to and heal our wounded inner child, release our fears, and enact deep subconscious transformation. Each word, transmitted directly from the 12 Archangels, carries their love, so that when read, the love is absorbed into the reader’s mind and supports the release of our deepest wounds and fears. The tools and exercises shift your vibration so results are both felt and experienced immediately. The book includes Angelic guided visualizations on working with Angels to access the healing power of the chakras and to manifest with the creative imagination, as well as specific messages from the 12 Archangels designed for quick access to practical guidance when Angelic support is needed in daily life. As Belinda Womack shows, by opening ourselves to the support of the 12 Archangels, we can move out of the past, heal our inner wounds, and shift our vibration to one of unconditional love for self, others, Mother Earth, and the Universe.

Anne Kerrigan and Barbara Duncan share a common condition. Taphophilia. They are both ardent taphophiles which in lay terms means that they are interested in cemeteries, gravestones, gravestone art and epitaphs. And there is no better time of the year to tap into this particular archive podcast. It was quite an interesting episode and don't be surprised if you feel the need to run out and visit a nearby cemetery. I'm sure the residents would be happy to see you.

Ghost Hunter Richard Senate, has been investigating haunted sites and people plagued by ghosts for the past three decades and is a well-respected archaeologist, historian and lecturer. He is also known as one of the best storytellers you'll ever hear and many of the stories he tells are ones that he has seen first hand. Some of the tales he told tonight include the story of the grisly Char Man, the ghostly monk in the confessional, and a story that lets us know that Sleepy Hollow isn't the only place that claims to have a Headless Horseman. One of the listeners in the chat room said he was going to have to sleep with the lights on after hearing some of the ghostly tales that Richard told. Listen in and see if you find yourself afraid of the dark as well.
