Part exploration, part retrospective, and even part mailbag, this episode marks the end of one era and the beginning of another. How does paganism typically handle endings, afterlives, fate, and destiny? What illuminations might be found in our places of uncertainty? Is there power and potential for growth and change in quitting? And what, if anything, might be next?<br /> <br /> <strong>Mentions:</strong><br /> - Why I Quit My Dream Job In The Music Industry, by Casey Dienel: <a href= "https://blog.usejournal.com/why-i-quit-my-dream-job-abaa4b8bfa61" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://blog.usejournal.com/why-i-quit-my-dream-job-abaa4b8bfa61</a><br /> - Why Is There Suffering?

How do we work together for greater inclusivity of asexual, demisexual, and gray sexualities? And what might more asexual forms of Paganism look like?

What do these mean? Where do we find them? And just how the the universe are they supposed to work?<br />
<br />
Not all who wander are lost, so come along for an encompassing journey about: The law of attraction, thought and behavior patterns, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the drumbeat of time, limitations, mentors, sources of support and guidance, choosing consciously, goal-making, wants and needs, expectations, self-questioning and self-doubt, accountability, geas (actually pronounced "geSH"), rewards, creating new habits and routines, allowing failure, Pavlov's cat, and much, much more...

How do we hold space for those who struggle with addition or those in recovery? What resources does the Paganosphere provide? And just where is that higher power found?</p> <p>In pursuit of those questions, and the answer to life, the universe, and everything, the gang comes clean about: Socio-cultural pressures, alcohol in ritual and sacred spaces, the challenges of shared experience, navigating support groups, AA, twelve-step programs, creating inclusive events and spaces, the will to action, finding what works for you, and a whole lot more.</p> <p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> The Priestesses do not advocate for or condone alcohol abuse or illegal drug use.

Again! In this fresh installment, Amanda and Jacob "Ohm" in on the Studio Ghibli classics, <i>Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind </i>and <i>Princess Mononoke</i>. What makes these films so powerful, even today? What lessons and perspectives might Paganfolk find within them? And what makes a Princess a Princess?<br /><br />Wading into the water includes exploring: Thematic similarities, liminal protagonists, complex antagonists, strong female characters, ritual purity, human action and inaction, the power and terror of rage, the might of nature, karma, some Pagan exegesis and eisegesis of the films, and much, much more. Miyazaki-sama, osoreirimasu!<b><br /><br />Mentions:</b><br />

We just released our latest episode, <a href="https://thepriestesses.blogspot.com/2018/03/episode-38-pilgrims-path.html" target="_blank">Episode 38: The Pilgrim's Path</a>. We hope you enjoy listening to it.<br /><br />We'll be back in the recording studio sometime in April, and our next episode may be a good 6-to-8 weeks away from now (mid-March). So, if you find yourself wondering when our next episode is, it'll around Beltane or later. In the meantime, we'll be on a sort of "spring break." Sort of. We hope your spring is a well-deserved wind of warmth. And as always, peace out and Pagan on.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731520713637307161noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862979840729032817.post-39999438498831800872018-03-12T14:29:00.001-05:002018-03-12T14:29:13.899-05:00Episode 38: The Pilgrim's Path<p>For modern Pagans, what does pilgrimage mean? Largely removed from the paths, places, and practices of ancient Paganism, what is pilgrimage like for us? And what does it mean? Treading the way, Amanda and Jacob are joined by Irish Seabhean and returning guest, Danise Shipley. Along the road, these travelers explore expectations, experience, faith, preparation, planning, relating to places, getting naked, recovery, processing, inner vs. outer travel, journeying, working with limitations, experiences, helpful tips, and so much more.<br /> <br /> <strong>Sharing Space:</strong><br /> - Under the Ancient Oaks (Patheos blog), by John Beckett: <a href= "http://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/</a><br /> - The Mead Tenders Who Weren't There (blog post), by John Beckett: <a href= "http://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2017/11/mead-tenders-werent.html" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2017/11/mead-tenders-werent.html</a><br /> - The Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún (manga): <a href= "http://www.sevenseasentertainment.com/series/the-girl-from-the-other-side-siuil-a-run/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.sevenseasentertainment.com/series/the-girl-from-the-other-side-siuil-a-run/</a><br /> - The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog: The Landscape of Celtic Myth and Spirit, by Patricia Monaghan: <a href= "http://www.patricia-monaghan.com/the_red_haired_girl_from_the_bog__the_landscape_of_celtic_myth_and_spirit_94620.htm" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.patricia-monaghan.com/the_red_haired_girl_from_the_bog__the_landscape_of_celtic_myth_and_spirit_94620.htm</a><br /> - The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog: The Landscape of Celtic Myth and Spirit, by Patricia Monaghan (Amazon): <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Red-Haired-Girl-Bog-Landscape-Celtic/dp/1577314581/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Red-Haired-Girl-Bog-Landscape-Celtic/dp/1577314581/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=</a><br /> - Alcest (band): <a href="https://www.alcest-music.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.alcest-music.com/</a><br /> - Princess Ghibli, by Imaginary Flying Machines: <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/album/2NnJcyEJHe4DuJTMMDIbkT" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://open.spotify.com/album/2NnJcyEJHe4DuJTMMDIbkT<br /> <br /></a> <strong>Links:</strong><br /> Website: <a href="http://www.thepriestesses.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.thepriestesses.com</a><br /> Email: <a href="mailto:thepriestesses@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thepriestesses@gmail.com</a><br /> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/thepriestesses" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://twitter.com/thepriestesses</a><br /> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thepriestesses/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.facebook.com/thepriestesses/</a><br /> Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thepriestesses" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.patreon.com/thepriestesses</a><br /> Music: Rebecca E.

<br />
Finding time to make this time of year meaningful is a challenge no matter what you believe in. For those of us with young children, the constraints on our time and energy are even greater. Whenever I’ve consulted websites or books, I would get a little overwhelmed with some of the complexities that can go with the activities. Over the years, I’ve picked up a few easy ways to weave a little magic and fun into the holidays without overtaxing my already limited resources. <br /><br /><b>1. Hello, Sun! </b><br />It’s a romantic idea to get up with the sun rising in the East to meditate quietly and welcome the return of the Sun, maybe with a perfectly timed Sun Salutation in front of a beautiful altar alight with candles. Yeah, that doesn’t happen at my house either. <br /><br />I’ve read so many manuals that say you should get up at dawn to herald the return of the Light. If you have young kids, or you know, work for a living, sleep is precious. Welcome the sun whenever you get up, trust me S/He doesn’t mind waiting. Throw your winter-wear right over your PJs and run outside to say hello to the Sun. Have noise makers ready at the door to take out with you if you want, or just clap and sing. Or just take a calming breath of fresh air. Kids love silly stuff like this and what a fun memory they will have of running outside Winter morning to greet the Sun. <br /><br /><b>2. Take A Walk</b><br />Change out of your jammies first, of course, you silly Heathen. After you’re fed and dressed proper take a walk in the woods or your local park. Use this as a time to reflect on where you’ve been over the last year and where you’re headed. If you have children, talk to them about the seasonal changes and how the days will be getting longer. Even my 4-year-old has noticed the afternoons are dark and he’s looking forward to the light returning. If they're old enough, have them imagine significant this would have been to our ancestors and it was such a cause for celebration. <br /><br /><b>3. Ribbon Magic</b><br />Hang any combination of red, silver, gold, yellow, or green ribbons on the trees outside. Let the Sun and the cleansing cool air charge them up for a day with energy that you can use later for spellwork or add a little luck to items you adore them with. <br /><b><br />4. Feed The Birds</b><br />If you’re super crafty and have the time, there are all sorts of creative bird feeders you can make out of oranges, apples, cereal; you name it. If that’s not your bag you can fill a store-bought feeder or just throw some seeds on the ground. <br /><br />You can make this as involved as you want or have time for. Google homemade bird feeders, and you can find ideas for apple, orange, and pinecone feeders. You can make your own suet or string up popcorn, cranberries, cherries, chunks of apple, cereal, etc. to hang like garlands outside for the birds to pick at. Fill a store bought feeder or throw some seeds on the ground if time is limited. It may not seem like much but the birds and squirrels will appreciate it, and it’s a nice way to reconnect with nature when we spend so much time indoors to stay out of the cold. <br /><br /><b>5. Easy Pine Charms</b> <br />Most places that sell trees will let you take the cuttings of the lower branches that get left behind without charge. Cut them to size, tie them with ribbons, and add bells or other little ornaments to use as a centerpiece for your table, decorate an altar if you have one, or place them around the house. It’s an easy way to bring protective, cleansing energy into your life when they give off that great fresh-pine scent. <br /><br /><b>6. Spread Some Yuletide Cheer</b><br />Bake (or buy - let’s be real here) cookies to share with your neighbors. Add a tag that says “Happy Winter” (and/or a decorate them with a sun, star, or whatever). My neighbors love it, and they don’t even realize I’m doing it to celebrate my holiday. Spreading good vibes can only make the world a tiny bit better, and maybe they won’t judge you as much for shouting at the sun in your jammies. <br /><br /><b>7. Yule Log</b><br />I like to make a Yule Log cake around this time of year. They’re a real pain and pretty tricky to do, but I enjoy it. You certainly don’t have to if that’s not your bag. Throw some cake mix in a loaf pan, frost it when it’s cool and call it good. Use Hostess Ho Hos if you want and add some green and red frosting for leaves and berries. The Goddess certainly won’t judge you. If you have dietary restrictions or just not that into sweets, decorate toilet paper rolls and thread yarn or ribbons through them to hang on your tree.<br /><br /><b>8. Make Pomanders</b><br />There are some very pretty examples of these online that take a bit of work, but honestly, you can just take a few oranges, poke holes randomly with a skewer stick then fill them with whole cloves. They smell amazing and make a great centerpiece or altar decoration to represent the Sun. <br /><br /><b>9. Decorate With Paper Garlands</b><br />Cut a bunch of colorful strips with construction paper and staple them together in interlocking loops to make paper chain garlands. I know this sounds too simple, but it’s very satisfying to see them grow with each new link. This one is great for little kids because it’s not hard and they get a thrill out of making them. You can write wishes or intentions on some of the strips to make them more meaningful. <br /><br /><b>10. Light The Way</b><br />Simply lighting a candle and sharing a meal with family and friends can bring warmth and ritual to your Winter Holiday. Invite friends over and have a potluck. Or just enjoy a cozy meal with your family by candlelight. Talk about intentions you wish to sow for the coming Spring. You can add a prayer in whatever fashion makes you comfortable to help nourish your loved one's body and soul, even if you have to do it silently<br />
<br />
<br />
Anything you do for Yule whether it’s a grand ritual or a laid-back activity will enrich the day. Calling the Quarters and holding a full ritual is fun but not always practical when this time of year is already so busy. Be kind to yourself and honest with what you have to spare to help guide you in designing a day you can enjoy. Have fun making memories to share with your family and friends. And may this Winter Season be bright and merry for us all.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731520713637307161noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862979840729032817.post-84163896851572986812017-12-18T18:15:00.001-06:002017-12-18T18:15:02.821-06:00Episode 35: Meditate On This<p>Meditation is an oft-used tool in the spiriutal toolbox, buy why? What are the purposes of meditation? What forms can it take? Who should venture to meditate? How does it fit into Pagan practice?</p> <p>In this contemplative episode, Amanda and Jacob attune to the vibrational hum of the universe for an insightful and varied discussion about their experiences with meditative practice and how those fit into the Paganosphere. Along the way, there's talk about meditational goals, methods, types of meditation, journeying, the role of our senses, focus, attention, connection, altering consciousness, the use of mind-altering substances, self-knowledge, awareness, effort, using caution, expectations, and more...</p> <p>Mailbag:<br /> - Thanks to Sarah, Dylan, and Matthew!<br /> - The Last Keepers (2013): <a href= "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1716767/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1716767/</a><br /> - Love Magic, by Lilith Dorsey: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Love-Magic-Potions-Getting-Keeping/dp/1578635926/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Love-Magic-Potions-Getting-Keeping/dp/1578635926/</a></p> <p>Sharing Space:<br /> - Elegant Yokai Apartment Life (anime): <a href= "http://www.crunchyroll.com/elegant-yokai-apartment-life" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.crunchyroll.com/elegant-yokai-apartment-life</a><br /> - Spirit Circle (manga): <a href= "http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/spirit-circle/volumes" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/spirit-circle/volumes</a></p> <p>Some Meditation Links:<br /> - Meditation: In Depth (NIH): <a href= "https://nccih.nih.gov/health/meditation/overview.htm" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://nccih.nih.gov/health/meditation/overview.htm</a><br /> - Harvard neuroscientist: Meditation not only reduces stress, here’s how it changes your brain, by Brigid Schulte (The Washington Post): <a href= "https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/05/26/harvard-neuroscientist-meditation-not-only-reduces-stress-it-literally-changes-your-brain/?utm_term=.501d2b657b31" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/05/26/harvard-neuroscientist-meditation-not-only-reduces-stress-it-literally-changes-your-brain/?utm_term=.501d2b657b31</a></p> <p>Links:<br /> Website: <a href="http://www.thepriestesses.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.thepriestesses.com</a><br /> Email: <a href="mailto:thepriestesses@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thepriestesses@gmail.com</a><br /> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ThePriestesses" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@ThePriestesses</a><br /> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thepriestesses" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">The Priestesses</a><br /> Music: Rebecca E.

This was mentioned in an episode many months ago and I forgot to post the links to the two panels I went to at Paganicon about researching.<br />
<br />
The first is the blog of a pagan who is passionate about historical researcher and shares the resources they find (<a href="http://gleewood.org/seeking/learning/remembering/">http://gleewood.org/seeking/learning/remembering/</a>). This page is literally a summary of the panel presentation.<br />
<br />
The second is a list of resources from Soli's Virtual Library (<a href="https://syncreticmystic.wordpress.com/solis-virtual-library/">https://syncreticmystic.wordpress.com/solis-virtual-library/</a>) which offers a lot of good starting places and suggestions for resources.<br />

And after a lengthy discussion about hosting fees, equipment costs/upkeep, and things we'd like to try in the future, we've decided to give it a go. Like the podcast itself, we're starting off small. You can check it out here:</span><br />

Hosting costs, equipment, production time, everything. We'll still continue to put this show out free of charge, because we love doing it and ever want to share it. But the time has come to see what this support medium has to offer. Will it change how (and how often) we can make the show? Will it open new mediums? We'd like to find out.</span><br />

Trained as a Death Midwife and Certified in 2011 by Nora Cedarwind Young, Angie is one of the founders of the Death Midwife movement. She is also a Rite of Passage Officiant, Senior Minister at Earth Traditions Church, Emeritus Board Member of the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions, and Pagan Student Advisor at the University of Chicago. She is a member of the National Home Funeral Alliance and the National Chaplains Association. Angie is committed to educating individuals, small groups, families, and entire communities or church groups to proudly reclaim family directed choice at end of life. With many thanks to both her and our dear friend Wee Bee, it's with ghastly delight we present this edifying dance with the dead.</p> <p> </p> <p>Treading along this mortal coil, there's talk about: End-of-life care and planning, funerary practices, body disposition, transitions, cultural views on death and dying, elder care, grief and mourning, rites of passage, ancestor work, prolonging life and death, closure, what Death Midwives do, comfort and intimacy, decomposition, and oodles more.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sharing Space:<br /> - Mushroom Death Suit (TED Talk): <a href= "https://www.ted.com/talks/jae_rhim_lee" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.ted.com/talks/jae_rhim_lee</a><br /> - Final Rights: Reclaiming the American Way of Death, by Lisa Carlson and Joshua Slocum: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Final-Rights-Reclaiming-American-Death/dp/0942679342" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Final-Rights-Reclaiming-American-Death/dp/0942679342</a><br /> - The Death Midwife: <a href="https://deathmidwife.org/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">https://deathmidwife.org/</a><br /> - Earth Traditions: <a href="http://www.earthtraditions.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.earthtraditions.org/</a><br /> - Threshold Singers of the Chippewa Valley: <a href= "https://thresholdchoir.org/chippewa-valley" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://thresholdchoir.org/chippewa-valley</a><br /> - Haides (Neokoroi): <a href= "http://www.neokoroi.org/religion/gods/haides/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.neokoroi.org/religion/gods/haides/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Links:<br /> Website: <a href="http://www.thepriestesses.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.thepriestesses.com</a><br /> Email: <a href="mailto:thepriestesses@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thepriestesses@gmail.com</a><br /> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/thepriestesses" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@ThePriestesses</a><br /> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thepriestesses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Priestesses</a><br /> Music: Rebecca E.

Together, they look deep into the spread of all things divination and have a naturally clairvoyant time along the way!</p> <p> </p> <p>Why is divination such a big part of Pagan practice? And just how is it supposed to work? What are the pros and cons of reading for yourself? Or for others? Why's Tarot so great? Can divination be a group experience? And do divinitory tools have consciousness? Open yourself the the limitless, find the wisdom revealed, and let spirit guide you on a journey through these questions and many, many more.
