Gaia Unveiled Lady River
-
- Science
The mainstream of our culture believes itself distanced from the natural world, whether by a nonliving materialist view of reality or a religious dualist one. But insofar as Paganism is a “nature religion”, we cannot afford to distance ourselves that way. At the same time, our Craft cannot contradict physical facts and still maintain validity. Therefore, the better we understand the world from a scientific viewpoint, the better Pagans and Witches we can be. The Magickal and the Scientific are two faces of the same Goddess.
Diana McCleery AKA Lady River is a Third Degree Priestess of 20 years, and a lover of the sciences since, so far as she knows, birth. She also makes arts and crafts, does voice overs, enjoys foraging for wild food, and in the summers has a job fighting children with cardboard swords in the woods, which is harder than one might think. A native of Memphis, she lives in Minneapolis.
New episodes are uploaded every first and third weekend. See ya there!

60 -- These Are Not Plants
There are more types of living things in the world than just plants and animals. There are some things that seeeeem like plants, but really aren't. Maybe one or two have fooled you? Our rituals often use flora and fauna (or Flora and Faunus even) as a source of polarity, but let's take this opportunity to talk about some other organisms as well.

59 -- Feathers
Feathers this time! And OMG Y'all...this weekend has been a comedy of errors, some very time-consuming,and I'm only now getting this up. But it happened! Basil wasn't able to join us this episode, but he'll be back next month. I'm keeping this to a simple topic. Enjoy! And share with your friends if you do. :-)

58 -- Special Guests: Bumbling Fools Mead
Finally I have manged to get the guys who are Bumblng Fools Mead onto the show. You are in for a real treat; we talk about fermentation, but also roam from there into what does honey taste like without sugar, what was the first feremneted beverage, and a fascinating side bar about where mead does or doesn't fit into the law. Oh yeah, we talk about gods, too. ;-)
Another treat is that we recorded in the brewing room/alchemist's lab at their meadery in NE Minneapolis, where you can stop in and try something delicious before you buy, and also play guinea pig for new recipes that aren't for sale. The people hanging out were clearly having a really great time, and they get a bit loud and rowdy -- but that just gives you a "you are there" experience, chatting in the backroom of the local pub. I hope it makes you want to visit.
I'm very excited about this episode. Have a great time! -
57 -- River Cruisin' with Basil
Hey, Labor Day still counts as "posted on the weekend", yes? Anyway, Basil is here and we're talking about rivers. It's crazy it took this long. I had more things I was gonna say but I just can't remember them now. It was super clever, too.... But hey, rivers are amazing!
