Join me as I talk about love. I explore subjects like the seven different types of love as described by the Greek philosophers, the five stages of love as described by Hindu philosophers, the Judaic command to love, the search for the Goddess, and more.

This podcast is a new medium for me. I have done live talk radio. I have hosted prerecorded radio shows. I have created YouTube videos. But this is a new venue for me. I hope you enjoy it. In this very first podcast episode, I want you to get to know me a little better. I decidedly did not use even a "soft script" when creating this episode. I feel as though you can get a better feel for who I am in this way. Feel free to message me, please. Audio messages can be up to one minute long. I may use your message in future episodes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onyxraven/message
