    Mhara Starling on Speaking with the Fairies - Divination in Welsh Tradition

    Send us a text My guest in this episode is Mhara Starling, a Welsh folk Witch raised on the Isle of Anglesey. Mhara is a fantastic speaker, teacher, and author, and I met her for the first time at the Sacred Space conference this past year. It was wonderful to have her on the show! In this conversation, we focused on Welsh Fairy lore and practices, and how that living tradition of relationship meets the arts of divination: omen-reading, scrying, working with the land, and ethics and good boundaries for working with Fairies in the modern world. I really appreciated learning from Mhara in this show, and I hope you enjoy the discussion.  If you do, as always, please share this episode with others, and subscribe for more videos and some exciting new "extra" content in coming months!

    Send us a text In this episode, I'm joined once again by author and esoteric scholar Peter Mark Adams, whose newest work - Ritual and Epiphany in the Mysteries of Mithras: The Secret Cult of Saturn in Imperial Rome - offers a profound look into one of the most enigmatic mystery traditions of the ancient world. We explore the sacred cosmology of Mithras, the structure and symbolism of the cult’s initiatory grades, and how these rites relate to the broader lineage of Orphic and Platonic spirituality. Along the way, we discuss ritual space, visionary experiences, and how these ancient practices can inform and aid seekers and practitioners today. Please note: Later in the episode, we also touch on topics such as entheogens, intense ritual work, and transformational spiritual practices.
