Spring Visions

........I'm dedicating this weeks show to one of the Five Cardinal Elements, the Element of Air. It's a good topic for April because, by many traditions, Air is associated with Springtime and Day's Beginning.

Usually associated with Men's Mysteries, Air is most often thought of as on the Mental Plane.

The Romans gave the month of April it's name, which they called, Aprilis. For the Romans, it signifies a time of unfolding leaves and flowers.

So we'll take a look at the Season of Spring - from the physical, meteorlogical sense to the cultural meanings that Springtime carries with it around the world.

On the Witche's Pyramid, the expression of Air is "To Know".  So, let's look at the Element of Air. And because it's associated with Men's Mysteries, we'll look at some Air Gods.

And, finally, Wind Magick!

Hope you enjoy the show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this weeks show include: Lisa Gerrard & Peter Bourke: "The Unfolding"; Laura Powers: "Sisters of the Wind"; Elvin Tales: "The Winds are Silent"; Moving Breath: "Spirit of the Wind" and more.
