Promises To Keep

Our Theme is The Northern Quarter, and it's Associations: The Winter; Night; Element of Earth; Silence; Regeneration

And in this context, we'll talk about Intuition and Dreams. Intuition and dreams play such an important role in becomming spiritually awakened. And so I want to bring you a traditional story of awakened shamanism - it's called "To the Cauldron Born"

I hope you enjoy this week's show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this week's show include;

Amber:…

        i was in the backyard turning soil in preparation for Spring planting when something landed next to my shovel. i paused to look and immediately questioned, "who's throwing things"? When i moved in to get a closer look at the object the question "is someone trying to poison my dog" came to mind. i grabbed the meat and jumped up onto the planter box to look over into the neighbors yard and saw no one. The caws of birds overhead caught my attention. As i watched a flock of seagulls…

A Night In The Old South

Ellen heard muffled voices somewhere off in the darkness and froze in her tracks. The rutted path upon which she struggled to keep her footing had no doubt been recently trampled by soldiers on their way to and from the irregular picket-lines which the tattered remnants of the Georgia Militia had stretched thinly through the woods northwest of Savannah to…

Blessed Yule to one and all! This week we celebrate the Winter Solstice, which occurs on Saturday, the 22nd this year. We'll call back to God of the Sun, Light and Hope and prepare ourselves for the coming New Year.

I have a Yule Poem, to put you in the mood. Also, we'll talk about the Original Snow Queen, Mother Holle, and Holda. Also, Yule Trees, Pomegranites, Santa as the Holly King and Haunted Christmas Toys!

Then, the Spiral Dance Spell of the Week toward the end of the…

This week, as we welcome December under a Dark Moon, we dance with The Dark Spirits of December! December's Full Moon is called The Cold Moon, and for good reason. We wait in Darkness as we await the return of the Sun at Yule.

I'm going to read for you an abridged version of Inana's descent to the Under World. And from way up north, we'll talk about Louhi, the Fierce Finnish Goddess of the Arctic.

Then, finally - this time of Dark and…

Native Americans sustained their civilizations for 10,000 years living in harmony with nature before the Europeans forced them from their lands and ended their culture.  The white man has been on our soil for barely 300 years and has very nearly destroyed the natural environment, rapaciously taking from the land, giving nothing back.  The endless woodlands are gone.  The rivers and streams are muddied and polluted.  The air increasingly brings asthma and other respiratory…

This week, we talk about Aliens - Extraterestials.

I want to say at the start that I really don't believe in aliens. At least, I'm a doubter - a strong doubter.

Here's what I believe:

I have no doubt that in this vast universe there must be other Intelligent life forms. And, just because we, at our current stage of developement, can't reach them, doesn't mean that they can't reach us - by whatever means they may have.

But the evidence of alien contact is, to me,…

Home and Hearth will be our theme this week. The days are getting ever shorter; the average daytime temperatures are getting ever lower. So, as we move ever deeper into the Season of Cold and Dark, we take the opportunity to look even more Inward.

This is the time of year that calls us back home. We're going to take a look at what The Home has meant to humans down the ages, and how people in different cultures have related to that ever so important part of the home - The…

This week on The Spiral Dance we listen for the words of the Oracle. Alot of things are CALLED oracles; such as tarot or other methods of divination. But the ancient Greeks meant something very specific when they used the word, Oracle. For the Greeks an "oracle" was a human - usually a priestess - through whom a diety, such as Apollo, answered specific questions that have been put forth. Also, the Oracle was the sacred place where this would happen.

So we'll talk in more detail about…

"We are the birds of fire,

We fly over the sky

...

We make a road for the spirit to pass over"

Those are words from our opening music from Dead Can Dance; the song, "Song of the Stars"

And, what is this road? Traditionally, there are many answers, but two of the most popular are Bridges and Rainbows. Both wonderful and perilous, bridges and rainbows bind two areas, while at the same time seperating the traveler apart from…

Oh, come on! You do it! You daydream. And so what if you do? Does that mean that you're lazy, or that you're out of touch? Maybe it does. Or maybe it means that you're more in touch thanks to your daydreams. There's all different ways to look at daydreaming, and that's what we're going to talk about this week.

First off, we'll talk about just what do we mean by "Daydreaming" - just what is Daydreaming and why do we do it?

But as you know, there are alot of things that we're…

 Idolatry, unrealistic 

Visions of heaven

A paradise of

My own making

Wrapped in 

Velvet lined plastic

Created in my 

Own image

Or how I imagine 

You to be

I placed you on high

While I viewed from

Way below 

An angel in the clouds

Whose down was as white

As the purest snow

Your touch was 

Electric 

I was fire baptised 

In a pentecost of your heat

I gave…
