Stirring the Cauldron

Palmistry, the art of analyzing the physical features of the hands to interpret personality characteristics and predict future happenings goes back many hundreds of years. Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.) discovered a treatise on the subject of palmistry on an altar of Hermes, which he then presented to Alexander the Great (356–323 B.C.E.), who took great interest in examining the character of his officers by analyzing the lines on their hands. During the Middle Ages the art of palmistry was actively suppressed by the Catholic Church as pagan superstition. In Renaissance magic, palmistry was classified as one of the seven "forbidden arts". After falling out of favor around the Middle Ages, palmistry underwent a monumental revival in the 19th century as interest in the occult grew and is quite popular today. During this week's show, Victoria Gross not only shared information about this divination method, but also took the time to put that information into action and read a few palms from listeners who submitted photos of their palms for her to read.

Chris DiCesare's view of life was forever changed by a series of horrifying events in and around his dorm room: C2D1 of Erie Hall. From early February through late April of 1985, he and his college friends would endure what is now called The C2D1 Haunting. Apparitions sighted, strange voices heard, moving objects witnessed and physical attacks all became part of the ordeal shared by Chris - who quickly became the focal point of the haunting. After years of avoiding the spotlight, in 2009 DiCesare - convinced by the level of respect and authenticity provided by the Please, talk with me film project - finally agreed to share his story. The film recreates the 1985 events surrounding the photograph that has become known across the internet as the 'C2D1 ghost'. Featured on the SyFy channel's show School Spirits. Please, talk with me premiered at SCARE-A-CUSE on September 14th, 2012 along with a companion book by the Rev. Tim Shaw. Surviving Evidence presents the most in depth look at the legendary C2D1 Haunting from the person at its center. DiCesare details the often extreme reactions -- both positive and negative -- that he and his fellow college mates experienced due to strange events that they were not prepared for. This memoir raises as many questions as it tries to answer. Historic relevancy, individual morality and the application of the paranormal experience in relation to free will are all deftly addressed in the context of the ten-week haunting by the person who witnessed it first-hand … and survived it

Along with the bear, horses are a primary creature associated with shamanism and traditions influenced by it. They appear in 25,000-year-old cave paintings, such as those at Lascaux. They find a role in the modern African diaspora traditions such as Haitian Vodou, whose devotees are called “horses” for the spirits who ride them during trances.The spirit of the horse exists in the subconscious minds of humans and takes shape in various forms, whether as a symbol of fertility in the land, as in Celtic mythology, or as a psychopomp, which leads the dead to the next world. The horse has made its way into the current of our collective unconscious as a universal archetype.Horse Magick contains spells, rituals, chants, and meditations for many purposes, loosely based around equine imagery. Numerous traditions are represented, as are many deities, including Athena, Epona, and Baba Yaga. No contact with actual horses is required.Through the use of spells and rituals, readers are able to magickally ride to their chosen destinies and fulfill their desires.

I really love this archive. As I said in the opening of the show, I learned more about incense in the introduction to Carl's book than what most books have on the subject from cover to cover, and an amazing amount of information throughout the entire show. Incense is an essential guide to making your own homemade blends with natural ingredients. Carl presents an extensive collection of incense knowledge, including 129 recipes and helpful descriptions of 125 ingredients, twenty-nine base materials, sixteen binders, and two new rituals. Whether you want to make loose, stick, coil, or cone incense, this comprehensive edition provides detailed instructions for everything from finding the right ingredients to proper drying methods. With expanded sections on basic techniques, natural charcoal, and shopping for ingredients at the local super-market, this is the perfect book to help you explore your "scentuality." Even if you would rather buy incense than make it, Carl offers tips and what to look out for when choosing the very best incense.
