Remember Remember the 5th of November... or just remember the fifth of Whisky consumed as we watch the 2020 Election Results

We dug up an oldie but goodie show from 2015.  Resurrecting Raise The Horns Radio and the Samhain Extravaganza

We've heard from many pagans and witches that politics and paganism aren't or shouldn't be connected, but they are. Tonight's episode, recorded on the day of the 2020 U.S. election we discuss exactly how polictics and paganism go together.

The Witches Next Door are an ordinary Pagan couple who teach magick, own a witch shop, deal with real world stuff just like everyone else, and in their spare time write books and blogs and host rituals.

Here we go folks! Join us for a special Election Eve Episode where we delve into a discussion about Samhain, and then discuss the thing that is on everyones mind....the election!

ATTENTION NATION!

Tonight's show is going to be dedicated to addressing the Mental Health of our community. We will address the lack of Pagan Mental Health Resources, what is currently effecting us, and invite callers to talk about their own issues. We encourage you to call in to speak with Hedera about whatever ails you.

 

For those of you who had the opportunity to enter the shop (Laughingbrook Spellcrafting & Ancestral Arts), this is going to essentially bring us all home. Make no mistake, the shop has transcended its physical space by the way of our Facebook Group Village Laughingbrook. It has NOW transcended again to a new medium where it can travel the airwaves in the form of Incantation Nation. So pull up a seat at the round table in the purple room, Hedera will offer you tea or coffee, and now tell her what ails you.

 

For those of you just discovering our Podcast and Village, we encourage you to call in as well. This is our home, this is where your voices can be heard, this is where our sparks of revolution are nurtured into the blazing hell-fire infernos of change they need to be.

One of the most common images at Samhain-tide is the skull. Most witches we know have skulls, antlers, bones, skins, and all sorts of former living things stashed abouot their homes. Why? What do we do with these curious objects

The Witches Next Door are an ordinary Pagan couple who teach magick, own a witch shop, deal with real world stuff just like everyone else, and in their spare time write books and blogs and host rituals.

Join Hedera, Neve, and Bradwick as they discuss how the show is helping our community, go over "required" reading material for all Pagans, and Hedera shares some great back story and guided meditation.

When I have a question about Heathenry, I go to Ryan Smith. It's as simple as that. His book "The Way of Fire & Ice" is the "intro" book Heathenry has needed for the last twenty years. Ryan has also lived in Edignburgh Scotland (one of my favorite places), and has excellent taste in heavy metal music.  We've also done a couple of rituals together that went exceedingly well.  Join us as we chat about the state of the Pagan world, weeding out racists in Heathen spaces, and why doom metal is good for you.

JOIN INCANTATION NATION: a podcast for the Revolution, THIS FRIDAY, OCT 9th, @8pm, as your Incantress, Hedera Bindwood entertains a most beloved geist, ROBIN ARTISSON, author of innumerable titles such as, ‘Letters From the Devil’s Forest’ and ‘The Clovenstone Workings: A Manual of Early Modern Witchcraft’ published only weeks ago!! 

Let’s get lost in the Devil’s Forest with Robin.... because where else would INCANTATION NATION raise our voices?!

Samhain is almost here! For The Witches Next Door, Samhain is a season not just one night. We start our Samhain practices in early October and carry them through right up to the WInter Solstice. Listen in and we'll tell you about our favourite Samhain-tide pratices.

Episode 3: The New Colossus - Incantation:

Not like the brazen giant

of Greek fame,

with conquering limbs astride

from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed,

sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch,

whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning,

and her name, Mother of Exiles.

From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome;

her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor

that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands,

your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips.

“Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses

yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse

of your teeming shore.

Send these—the homeless,

tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus, 1883

We are tempest-tost, my beautiful nation, but we are anything but lost. Each and EVERY voice is a Revolution!
