Wisdom's Cry

This episode explores the mystical, fractal truth that each of us is both a whole being and a part of countless larger circles: family, community, cosmos. Journey with us into the language of holons, nested selves, and emergent systems, and discover why seeing reality this way can transform not only your sense of belonging, but the very stories we tell about meaning, justice, and change. The invitation? To awaken to the subtle, hidden flows that bind all things so we can shape new, life-giving patterns together.Thanks for reading!

What is the real gospel—the good news—at the heart of the Christian story, if it's not shame, fear, or distant judgment?

Pride was never meant to be exclusive. In this episode, we unmask the systems driving wedges into the LGBTQIA+ community—and explore why unity across gender, sexuality, and struggle threatens the powers that be. From Juneteenth to gender roles, from financial slavery to recuperated myths, we unravel how empire thrives on division. This is a call to resist, to remember our shared oppression, and to walk forward in sacred solidarity. The Morrígan walks with us.Thanks for reading!

Beneath doctrines and dogma lie the unclean spirits of collective trauma, those soul-wounds birthed not from mythic demons but from the lived trauma from it's very beginnings onward. In this episode, we name the ancient griefs still infecting the Church's body and explore how exorcism, catharsis, and ritual healing can help us recover what denial and the corruption of mistrust and community tried to destroy: our sacred wholeness. This is a journey through theology, history, and embodiment toward a liberation that begins within.Thanks for reading!

In an age ravaged by plague, Julian of Norwich received a vision that dared to reveal the Divine as love—boundless, motherly, and woven through every suffering. Long hidden on the margins of Christianity, her Revelations of Divine Love invite us to abandon fear, empty ourselves of certainty, and find peace in the All. What happens when we embrace a God with no wrath, only infinite compassion? This episode journeys into Julian's mystical gospel—her bold visions of “Mother Christ,” the healing of wounds, and the promise that “all shall be well.” Are you ready to see the world—and God—anew?Thanks for reading!

The Summer Solstice marks the fullness of light and life—yet in a world hungry for connection, its deepest magic may be the ancient art of hospitality. Join us as we reflect on the heart of Midsummer: not only the rituals of sunrise vigils and dancing flame, but the call to widen the circle, make room for difference, and rekindle justice in our communities. What does it mean to truly welcome—stranger, friend, even the forgotten parts of ourselves—at the longest day?

This Pride Month, under the luminous Flower Moon, we return to the roots of pride: protest and celebration, transformation and truth. In this episode, Charlie and Brian explore the sacred practice of making moon water—whether as mystic act or mindful focus—while invoking queer ancestors, allies, and revolutionaries whose courage calls us to stand together.

On the Feast of St. Columba, we journey into the tangled roots of Irish and Scottish spirituality, discovering a God who is not merely a distant craftsman, but the “First Seeder”—one who sows potential, not dictates form. St. Columba's life was fierce and fiery: dragon-slayer, monastery founder, exile, and mystic. But his most lasting gift may be a single word—an image of the Divine as the sower of all being, inviting us to grow wild, resilient, and free. In a world obsessed with control, what might it mean to see ourselves as seeds—planted, growing, and transforming creation from within?Thanks for reading!

"The gift that's given is the gift of liberation—the spirit no longer dwells in temples made by human hands, but in the very bodies and souls."In the story of Pentecost, fire descends not just on the apostles—but on all people.

Letting that wildness back in, letting Spirit move—this is the revival of Christopaganism.Christopaganism is not a monolith, but a living, branching path—rooted in earth, alive with wildness, and open to all who seek the Divine beyond rigid walls. In this episode, we explore the three branches of Christopaganism: the hidden mystics within churches, the border-walkers who blend tradition and transformation, and the wild practitioners forging new ways entirely. What unites them is a shared reverence for nature, spiritual wildness, and resistance to the imperial instinct. You're invited to reflect on where you find yourself among these branches—and why these wild roots matter for the future of faith.Thanks for reading!

Who has the authority to decide who's a Christian? The answer might surprise you.Who gets to say who is—or isn't—a Christian? In a time of rising gatekeeping and division, we dig deep into the history, politics, and mysticism behind the question that won't go away. From early church schisms to the Imperial Church's power plays, from accidental Christians to the words of Jesus himself—this episode asks if anyone truly has the authority to decide who belongs.You're invited to wrestle with humility, authority, and what it means to follow the way of Christ beyond creeds and clubs.

We are the dirt of the earth given breath, given lifeWhat is Christopaganism? It's a living, breathing faith—an embodied spirituality that refuses to be defined by what it opposes, but rather by the rootedness of practice, the dignity of bodies, and the sacredness of the earth. In this episode, we explore why Christopaganism must remain supple, not rigid—more like a living tree than a stone wall—so it can hold difference, absorb wisdom, and avoid the traps of new fundamentalism. We'll journey through history, myth, and experience, asking what it means to belong in a village of Christ, to honor the diversity of paths, and to ground our faith in lived relationship with the earth, one another, and the divine. Whether you're a lifelong seeker or newly curious, this conversation is an invitation to find your place at the table, and to remember: real faith is always embodied.Thanks for reading!
