    Episode 10 - Take this Bread with Flan Park

    Today on the show, I’m sitting down with my friend Flan Park. Flan and I have been in each others orbits for several years now, having connected with one another via Gay Christian Twitter. Flan is a children’s librarian living and working in Philadelphia. Their work focuses on bringing whole person, whole family literacy and learning support work to underserved and underrepresented populations throughout the city, as well as researching and generating educational materials around gender affirming child development frameworks. While not in the library, they work alongside the young adult outreach of St. Mark’s Church, an Anglo-Catholic parish of The Episcopal Church in Center City Philadelphia, helping to coordinate a bread baking and community learning workshop called Rise. Being an Episcopalian. Milquetoast WASP-ism vs living tradition with social impact. Importance of Philly Episcopal churches roles in women’s ordination, LGBTQ inclusion in the Church, support of community during AIDS crisis.

    Episode 9 — Lines in the Sand & Lines in the Soul with Sam Block

    Today on the show I’ve got the privilege of welcoming my friend Sam Block, with whom I became acquainted through Spooky Twitter, only to find out that he lives in my hometown, the forested wilds of Northern Virginia. Sam wears many hats; in addition to being a software developer, talented geomancer, and all-purpose magician, Sam is a prolific writer and has a robust online presence through his website, The Digital Ambler. He’s also a fully initiated priest in the Afro-Cuban spiritual tradition known as La Regla de Ocha Lucumí (also known as Santería). Today we’re talking spiritual lineage, sacred story, the ethics of magic, and the power of alternative spiritual practices and stories to shape the world for the better of all. Our conversation covers: a theory of magic (WHO IS SHE!?), the similarities between henosis in the Hermetic tradition and theosis in the Christian tradition, the role of the occult in shaping a healed world, the intricacies of being a white person in a non-white tradition, and several other stopping points along the way. An absolute joy of a conversation. Connect with Sam online at www.digitalambler.com and on Twitter @polyphanes. This week's bonus episode for Patreon subscribers (which will come out later this week) will be an introit into geomancy, with a live geomancy session! And no, it's not the terrain-based support skill from Final Fantasy. Pop over to Patreon and support the JTS community for access to that!
