    Episode 98: Lent, Ramadan, and the Spiritual Significance of Fasting

    Why do so many religions fast? Fasting is one of those practices that refuses to stay in a single box. It’s biological. It’s psychological. It’s political. It’s mystical. It’s communal. It’s deeply personal. It is both ancient and suddenly trendy with the biohack bros who have a podcast mic and hype protein shakes. What happens when we choose hunger on purpose? Across deserts and monasteries, temples and kitchens before dawn, human beings have stepped into emptiness — not because suffering is holy, but because hunger tells the truth. In this episode, I wander through Lent and Easter, Ramadan and Eid, Yom Kippur and teshuvah, Hindu vrata, Jain purification, Buddhist simplicity, and even the Stoics who practiced voluntary discomfort. The theologies are different. The claims are not interchangeable. But the pattern hums beneath them all. Fasting humbles the body. It clarifies desire. It strips away distraction. It reminds us we are not self-sustaining. In ancient agricultural worlds where famine was never far away, fasting ritualized dependence. In our modern world of constant availability, it interrupts excess. Either way, hunger becomes a teacher. This is not a diet episode. This is not detox culture. This is about repentance and return, about submission and surrender, about resurrection and repair, and about learning what truly sustains us. Because every fast eventually ends the same way: With a table. In community. Steeped in gratitude. Learn more about Angie at the Moon + Stone Healing.

    Episode 97: The History and Lore of Imbolc-a stirring beneath the snow

    Imbolc marks the sacred midpoint between Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox — a quiet threshold where life begins to stir beneath the frozen surface of the earth. Though the landscape may still look dormant, something is waking. In this episode, we explore the ancient roots of Imbolc as a cross-quarter fire festival, its agrarian origins connected to ewe’s milk and early lambing, and the layered meaning of Imbolc as “in the belly of the Mother” — the womb-space where seeds of spring begin their slow, holy quickening. We journey into the mythology of Brigid, goddess of fire, healing, poetry, and transformation, including her association with keening — the sacred wailing of grief — and how grief itself can be understood as part of the creative cycle. This episode also includes: The symbolism of seeds stirring beneath the soilImbolc as a season of preparation, cleansing, and gentle intention-settingFolk traditions and hearth-based ritualJournal prompts for working with the energy of ImbolcImbolc reminds us that growth does not announce itself loudly. It begins quietly. It begins in the dark. It begins with a stir. Blessed Imbolc.

    Episode 95: Astrology, Tarot & Earth Medicine for January 2026

    January shows up like that friend who loves you enough to say, “Okay… holidays are over. What are we actually doing here?” Capricorn has entered the chat, the Hermit is standing at the threshold with his lantern, and Raven is perched nearby whispering, “Pay attention.” In this episode, we walk right into the grown-up end of the pool: astrology, tarot archetypes, earth medicine, and humor — because otherwise the existential dread gets bossy. We explore Capricorn season as devotion, not punishment — the slow climb, the long game — while Cancer’s Full Moon asks whether your heart is fed, not just your to-do list. We track big transits like Venus shifting into Aquarius, the New Moon in Capricorn, Mercury and Mars electrifying Aquarius, and the cosmic mic-drop: Neptune stepping into Aries and putting boots on our dreams. Then we turn the lantern toward the deeper mythology of the Hermit — not isolation, but initiation. Not running away, but stepping back far enough to hear yourself again. From there, earth medicine arrives as the council: Quaking Aspen teaching the truth of interconnectedness.Lapis Lazuli calling us into honesty, vision, and ethical awareness.Raven carrying voice, mystery, and threshold magic.Together, they remind us how to carry our own light without abandoning ourselves — and how to return from solitude with something real to offer. This month is refinement, integration, and holy practicality. Less confetti cannon, more “find the boots you can actually walk in.” If you’ve been craving structure with soul, truth without cruelty, and spiritual work that survives contact with real life, this episode is your winter lantern.

    93: The History of Yule, Solstice, and Christmas: Honoring the Longest Night

    In this episode, we explore the ancient roots of the Winter Solstice, Yule, and Christmas, tracing how humans across time have honored the longest night of the year and the return of the light. We look at Yule traditions in Norse and Germanic cultures, including the symbolism of the Yule log, evergreens, fire, and winter mythologies like the Wild Hunt. We also explore how early Christianity layered the celebration of Christ’s birth onto existing Solstice festivals, weaving older solar traditions into new spiritual stories. This episode reflects on darkness as a sacred teacher, winter as a threshold, and the universal human instinct to mark time with ritual, story, and hope. Whether you celebrate Yule, Christmas, the Solstice, or simply the turning of the season, this is an invitation to slow down and honor the quiet miracle of return.

    Episode 91: On Grief, Gratitude, and the Holy Scream

    This episode, I’m returning to the writings that shaped theearliest years of my healing after my daughter Lucia’s stillbirth in 2008. These three essays — one on the holy clearing power of the scream, one on the deep and complicated dance of gratitude during suffering, and one on the Buddhist tonglen practice — map my journey through grief, spiritual awakening, sobriety, and self-compassion. These pieces were written from the raw center of my heart: when I was newly grieving,newly sober,newly trying to exist inside a body again,newly understanding what compassion actually means. In this episode, I read: 7:03 Essay 1. “Scream, Baby” — written two years after my sonZachary’s birth and his time in the NICU, exploring pain, primal release, and the scream as an act of healing. 15:40 Essay 2. “Gratitude” — an essay confronting spiritualbypassing, toxic positivity, what gratitude looks like when you’re grieving, not in spite of grief, and holding space. 26:37 Essay 3. “Tonglen: A Meditation for When You’re in the Weeds”— a compassionate, trauma-informed exploration of the Buddhist practice that helped me breathe inside my pain instead of trying to outrun it. I also share a gentle guided tonglen practice, a groundingmeditation, and resources for tonglen on my website/blog, which you can access here. If you’re grieving, healing, overwhelmed, or simply human —this episode is for you.
