Podcasts about ancestors

Christians have many terms for those who came before them. They are called saints, heroes of the faith, and church fathers. But rarely are they referred to simply as ancestors. William H. Lamar IV pastors one of the oldest black churches in Washington, DC. He speaks with Matthew Peterson about his recent book, “Ancestors: Those Who Bless Us, Curse Us, and Hold Us.” He also talks about why it is important for Christians to be aware of the influence of their ancestors, why naming spaces after ancestors can be dangerous, and how Christians can be co-creators with God.Ancestors: https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/product/9781506482217/AncestorsDonate: https://religionunplugged.com/donate

This episode includes discussion of sex and is not suitable for younger listeners.Sex has always been a key part of Irish life. Yet given its intimate and private nature it often leaves little trace in the historical record. One rare exception comes from the Presbyterian Kirk Session, a church court that kept detailed accounts of behaviour it considered sinful. These records open a unique window into how people in eighteenth century Ireland navigated desire, shame, romance and rule breaking.In this episode I am joined by Dr Leanne Calvert whose book Pious and Promiscuous: Life, Love and Family in Presbyterian Ulster uncovers the hidden sex lives of ordinary men and women in the 18th century. The conversation explores beliefs about sex, the reality of everyday relationships, courtship, affairs, pregnancy and the ways communities tried to control intimacy.Get your copy of Leanne's book Pious and Promiscuous: Life, Love and Family in Presbyterian Ulster herehttps://shop.ria.ie/products/piousLeanne's Blog: https://promiscuouspresbyterian.wordpress.com/Work profile: https://pure.ul.ie/en/persons/leanne-calvert/Sound by Kate Dunlea.

Warm Welcome to Shift Your Energy - by Meditation Jam with Maria Rinné. This part of my podcast is created to be your guide, your inspiration, and your companion moving through a time that is transformational where we are shifting our drive from mind to heart. I'm so happy to share a beautiful conversation with spiritual teacher Michelle MacEwan. We explore seeing the beauty in life, the art of way-finding, and why life is truly an adventure of the soul. We talk about threshold places, seasons of life, advocating for the wild, and the importance of letting go of the past so we don't burden our future selves. It was a grounding, soulful conversation about spirituality, nature, and inner journeys and I am so happy to invite you to listen. Michelle MacEwan is a spiritual teacher who guides people to live their dream. Founder of Wild Wisdom, she leads transformational retreats, pilgrimages, and an online community devoted to inner journey work, conscious dreaming, and ancestral healing. With over 35 years of experience, Michelle helps people navigate the unknown, reclaim their spiritual gifts, access their deeper wisdom and reconnect to the wild within and around them. She also co-stewards a wildlife sanctuary on Australia's Great Ocean Road, where her work bridges the worlds of healing, nature, and deep inner wisdom. In the extended version on my Substack page Michelle takes us on an inner journey to meet our Ancestors. You don't want to miss that!

In this episode of the 247 Real Talk Podcast, your host unpacks the soul-stirring quote: “You are the prayer your ancestors whispered.” This isn't just poetry—it's a wake‑up call about who you are, where you come from, and the responsibility that comes with surviving in a world your ancestors could only dream of.We'll dig into:What it really means to be the living answer to generations of struggle, resilience, and hopeHow to carry your family's legacy without being crushed by guilt, pressure, or perfectionismTurning pain, history, and sacrifice into purpose, confidence, and forward motion in your own lifeIf you've ever felt small, lost, or disconnected, this conversation will remind you that your existence is not an accident—you are standing on the shoulders of people who prayed, fought, and endured for a future they would never see, but believed in anyway.Watch, share it with someone who needs to remember where they come from, and drop a comment about the ancestor, relative, or story that inspires you to keep going.Subscribe to 247 Real Talk Podcast for more unapologetically honest conversations about identity, purpose, and becoming everything your ancestors knew you could be.

Through a gentle ancestral meditation, discover how grounding in your roots can open the door to healing, meaning, and a deeper sense of belonging.How To Do This Practice:  Settle Into Your Body: Notice whether you're sitting, standing, or walking, and gently bring your attention to the natural rhythm of your breath.

400 thousand years ago our early human cousins dropped a lighter in a field in the East of England; evidence that was uncovered this week and suggests that early neanderthals might have made fire 350 thousand years earlier than we previously thought. Dr Rebecca Wragg Sykes is honorary researcher at the universities of Cambridge and Liverpool and author of Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art. She explains what this new discovery could mean for our own ancestors.Should we genetically modify our farmed salmon to prevent it breeding with their wild relatives? Dr William Perry from Cardiff University thinks this could help the endangered wild Atlantic salmon recover it's numbers. And Lizzie Gibney, Senior Physics Reporter at Nature joins Tom Whipple to dig into the new science released this week.Think you know space?

In the first part of this episode of the Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan welcomes author and petroglyph researcher Keith Seland to discuss his new book: The Humaniverse Guide (R) - We Are Them, They Are Us: Our Ancestors, Us and ET. We will discuss the data that Keith has uncovered during his research into the connection of ancient societies and possible contact with those from beyond earth. What are these connections, and can we as humanity trace our origins to the stars as so many ancient cultures believe? In the second part of the episode, we welcome author and researcher Ann Selene to discuss the mythical origins and traditions behind Krampus, the horned, dark demonic counterpart to Saint Nicholas (St. Nick) from Central European folklore who accompanies St Nick to punish misbehaving children during the Christmas season. How does this tradition reflect the ways our society sees good and evil and could it be that we have needed Krampus all along?!

This is what Perplexity.ai says:Cherry trees in South Korea do produce fruit, but it depends on the variety. Native species like King cherry (Prunus yedoensis var. Nudiflora) and Korean mountain cherry (Prunus maximowiczii) produce edible fruit. The King cherry, native especially to Jeju Island, bears fruit but is primarily valued for its blossoms. Many ornamental varieties like the Yoshino cherry produce small, bitter fruit less suitable for human consumption, but can feed wildlife.Summary:* Native Korean cherries produce edible fruit.* Ornamental varieties mainly produce less palatable fruit.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter athttps://wanderlearn.comIf you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

FALL RE-RELEASE: We've been talking about Perdita Finn nonstop lately… so we're bringing back one of our most beloved conversations. Originally released 11/6/2024, this episode remains a listener favorite for a reason. ~~~ Perdita Finn — author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World — teaches that “every day is the day of the dead.” In this super fun and surprising conversation, she shows us what it really means to collaborate with the dead, call in our ancestors, and receive help from the unseen world. Perdita shares stories about her father, the healing that unfolded after his passing, and how the dead can strengthen our intuition, guide our creativity, and walk beside us in everyday life. We explore signs, synchronicities, ancestral amends, the spirituality within 12-step programs, and the deeper story of our souls. If you've been feeling pulled toward your ancestors lately… this one is for you! What You'll Learn Why the dead want to help us (and how to put them to work) How healing with the dead strengthens intuition Why reincarnation is only one stitch in our soul's long story How signs and synchronicities show up when the dead are near Why 12-step spirituality is a radical doorway to the unseen How ancestors shape our path and creativity The lingering impact of witch-trial history on our beliefs How collaboration with the dead can expand your purpose Sound Bites from Perdita Finn “The unseen world is real.” “The dead have shown up for me. They all want to help us.” “Every day is the day of the dead.” Connect with Perdita Substack: Take Back the Magic Instagram: @perditafinn Connect with Us Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious Jane's Website: Jane Morgan Medium Sarah's Website: Sarah Rathke Instagram: @mediumcuriouspod TikTok: @thereal_mediumcurious

In this engaging conversation, David Peck interviews Matt Whitaker and Rupert Evans about their film Truth and Treason. They explore the complexities of good and evil and the emotional weight of loyalty and doubt in the context of Nazi Germany.

A rich collection of Indigenous artifacts sat untouched for decades on the University of New Brunswick's campus. When archeologists began opening up the boxes, what they found sparked a collaboration with the Wolastoqey Nation, and has opened up new windows to the past, and new ways forward. Listen to the voices involved in this project in a new documentary from Myfanwy Davies.

The Quiet Strengths That Carried Them Forward Family history usually arrives in the form of records. Birth dates written in aging ink. Marriage lines in county books. Census entries that capture a single moment in time. Yet when you look past the documents, when you imagine the real lives behind them, you discover something far more meaningful. You learn the quiet positives your ancestors found in life that helped them keep going through hope, hardship, joy, uncertainty, and everything in between. These strengths rarely appear in written form, but they shaped your family line as profoundly as any legal document. They reveal that people in every generation searched for light, even when life was difficult. They looked for meaning in ordinary days. They found joy where others might not see it. They carried love through seasons that challenged them. Because they found these positives and held tightly to them, you are here today. This article is an invitation to reflect on that truth and to see your ancestors not just as names on paper, but as human beings who lived with heart...

If you've been here for a while, you know my whole focus is on returning to the roots of a path—an integrated, no-nonsense approach that actually holds up in the modern world. This conversation with Clarissa Gunawan goes straight to the core of a practice we're all doing anyway, every single night: dreaming. We move well beyond the new-age, "superhero powers" version of lucid dreaming I experimented with in my twenties, and land firmly in the grounded, embodied terrain of Daoist dream work. Clarissa lays out why this isn't abstract or esoteric fluff; it's a non-negotiable tool for self-realization, for recalibrating the day, and—ultimately—for preparing for a "good death." We dig into the massive cultural blind spot around dreams and why getting your view right is the most important part of the path. If you're ready to dissolve the imagined split between day and night and start perceiving your inner landscape with real clarity, this episode is for you.   Key Takeaways for the Integrated Human [00:00:50] The Power of the Innate Dreaming is as natural as breathing. In Daoism, the best practice is the one you already do—dream. If you think you don't dream, you're just not catching them yet. [00:03:30] The Hun, The Po, and Peter Pan Syndrome We explore the Hun spirit and Po souls in Chinese medicine, and how imagination in the dreamscape creates experiences that are real in their impact, regardless of what science can measure. [00:17:50] The Primacy of "View" Your view of reality—linear and material or circular and interconnected—determines the outcome of your dream practice. Ego-driven views create controlling dreams; Daoist views allow relaxation, non-duality, and true realization. [00:11:37] Beyond Lucid Dreaming Instead of chasing ego-boosting lucid dreams, the Daoist path is about relaxing into the dream to realize your true spirit and self-arising nature. [00:02:45] You Are Your Own Expert The core practice is simply writing your dreams down—every day. This builds your personal dream dictionary and symbolic language unique to you. [00:30:30] Ancestors, Deities, and Symbols Ancestors, sages, and deities often appear as powerful symbols that help you perceive deeper layers of your genetic and evolutionary path. [00:33:00] The Dreamer as Authority Dream work is a shamanic path where you are the ultimate authority. Universal symbols exist, but your consistent dream log becomes the map of your unique cosmology.   Practical Engagement Start a Dream Log: Get a journal and keep it by your bed. Write down the first thing you remember upon waking—a feeling, a color, a single word. Every morning, without fail. This is the simple barrier to entry. Examine Your View: Before you go to sleep, take a moment to reflect on your foundational view of reality. Are you approaching this as a linear, material quest for self-improvement, or as a circular, non-dual path of realization? The intention you set will shape the dream. Prepare the Body: As Clarissa points out, stop eating heavy food late at night (no 11 PM pizza!). Give your organs a rest so your dreams are about spirit and path, not just digesting salami.

Aunties on Air: The Voices of Our AncestorsWe continue to lean into learning with Dwayne Tomah after his visit with us in our "Leaning into Learning" series where we spoke with him about our language! Throughout history, we have seen significant contributions to Wabanaki culture and language, with each contribution deserving discussion and visibility. Today, in the studio, we welcome back Uncle Dwayne Tomah, a language and culture sharer. Dwayne's work is felt throughout Wabanaki territory, as his generosity and gentle teachings have reached many people.

In this episode we discuss how in whole sign houses the degree of the IC acts as a sensitive point that floats around the bottom half of the chart, and that it imports 4th house significations and blends them with whatever whole sign house it falls in, with astrologers Pallas K. Augustine and Chris Brennan. While the IC is traditionally associated with the fourth house topics of home, parents, and roots, in the Whole Sign House system the degree of the IC can actually float to different sectors of the chart, most commonly falling in the third or fifth houses. We explore the astronomical distinction between the fourth whole sign house and the degree of the IC, and how the IC acts as an importer of fourth house significations into the house where it is located, creating a blending of themes between the two houses. In order to research this topic we sent out a survey to listeners to ask them how this placement has worked out in their lives when the IC falls in a whole sign house other than the 4th sign, and most of the episode is spent going through examples of the IC in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th houses. We also discuss the role of the ruler of the IC and how its placement can further modify these significations, as well as how this approach helps to reconcile some of the distinctions between Whole Sign and quadrant house frameworks. Pallas recently published book titled The IC: The Astrology of Coming Home, and you can order the book or find out more about their work through their website: https://www.nineofwands.com This is episode 512 of The Astrology Podcast.

The Deepest healing of the Mother Line I've ever experienced. I reconnected with my mother, who passed away when I was 17 yrs old. Connecting to my ancestral line and all of the women who felt disrespected, under supported, and under-resourced as mothers and women. Feeling in my body the great disrespect to the Earth.  We are not separate from the earth. We deeply need to come back to our hearts and souls. What one does to another is not separate, we ALL feel it, and she feels it (The Great Mother).  The Climate crisis is also collective trauma, violence, and divisiveness. Looking at thought patterns and the relationship with my mind. The Divine Timing of Things. The ineffable experience of working with this medicine. Bliss and loving dance with the divine. All of the information that came through – this life, past lives, and future. I felt home – it was a deep REMEMBRANCE OF COMING HOME. All of the love I felt and received. Receiving and experiencing love at such a depth and allowing it in.  Feeling deeply into self-love. We are all so loved by the divine and we are all inherently worthy beings.   Breathing, Trusting, and Surrendering to life and the overwhelming moments in ceremony. Merging with the matrix of the universe, no time and no space, I died, the Eternal Space Between (no birth and no death).  The terror and beauty in that. Wild to experience while being alive in a body. Grandmother Ayahuasca spoke to me in moments of overwhelm.  "Come back to your breath. Come back to your heart." The power of remembering who you REALLY ARE. It is a miracle to be alive. To be human is to learn and relearn the lesson of letting go, forgiveness, and love. We co-create with the universe. Don't forget the power of your breath.

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshat Chayei Sarah (Genesis 23–25), beginning with Sarah's lifespan—“100 years and 20 years and 7 years”—which Rashi interprets as her retaining the innocence of a 20-year-old at age 100 and the beauty of a 7-year-old at age 20. The parsha immediately transitions from her passing to Abraham sending Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac, teaching that marriage must be built with the end in mind: not just someone to live with, but someone to die with, focused on long-term purpose and legacy. Abraham, the icon of chesed (kindness), seeks a wife embodying kindness to balance Isaac's natural gevurah (sternness) inherited from Sarah. Rabbi Wolbe stresses that the patriarchs' actions are binding signs for us: prioritize good character over fleeting glamour, as external beauty fades but inner goodness endures.Rabbi Wolbe contrasts superficial “falling in love” (external attraction) with Torah-based matchmaking, where intellect precedes emotion—investigating character through references, teachers, and friends before ever meeting. True love (ahava) stems from hav (to give); the more one gives selflessly, the deeper the love grows. He urges couples to be givers, not takers, and to humble themselves like dust (lakol tia) to honor each other's perspectives, creating a new unified “us” from two distinct individuals. The parsha's repeated narrative emphasizes looking beyond surface miracles to inner essence—Rebecca's proactive kindness to Eliezer and his camels proves her character. Marriage is Hashem's tool for perfection: spouses challenge and elevate each other, building a unique harmony. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, including his son traveling from Lakewood to Montreal to pursue his future wife, reinforcing that men must actively seek and invest effort. He closes with stories illustrating commitment for children's sake and the Mishnah's advice to marry young to avoid entrenched selfishness._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 11, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 13, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Calvin Osborne, a Washington D.C. attorney and Civil War reenactor, spent nearly three decades studying African American military history before Ancestry researchers revealed a stunning discovery: his great-great-grandfather, William Lacey, was a soldier in the First Kansas Colored Troops, the very first Black men to fight in the Civil War. In this powerful conversation, Calvin shares how a 1989 viewing of the movie Glory sparked an unstoppable passion that led him from battlefield reenactments to uncovering a love story that began in slavery, survived the chaos of border wars, and created a legacy that would span generations. His book, Contraband Hearts, tells the story of William and Lucinda. These two teenagers escaped enslavement together, fought for freedom in Kansas, and built a family that would eventually reach back across time to inspire their descendants. Sometimes our ancestors don't just leave us stories. They call us to find them.〰️

This week Lara and Michael reconnect with artistic intellectual Amanda Seales to talk about the release of her book What Would the Ancestors Say. We dive into the attempts to cancel Amanda from performing standup, how recommitting to the written word is revolutionary in a time when everything is controlled by crypto-fascist oligarchs, and Amanda calls Lara jolly. 

Alex Cuba is a Grammy-winning artist known for his joyful, genre-blending sound. But on his new album, “índole,” he taps into sorrow as a creative force. His songs also reflect his Afro-Latin roots, and he wrote his 11th studio album as a thank you to his ancestors and the African diaspora that gave Latin music its heartbeat. He joins Tom Power to talk about finding beauty in pain, gratitude in his ancestors, and the true nature of where his music comes from.

For the James Beard Award–winning writer and culinary historian Michael W. Twitty, kitchens provide a multitude of significant purposes that stretch far into the past and carry through to the present. Beyond being places where people cook, share, and eat food, they also serve as vital spaces in which to gather in community, to grieve and process trauma, to teach and learn, to dance, to heal, and to experience Black love and joy. Twitty's multilayered cooking draws on his family roots, his personal history, and his deep culinary knowledge of the American South. His latest title, the cookbook Recipes From the American South (Phaidon), brings his skill as a home cook and historically informed recipe-maker to the fore, allowing ingredients and dishes to transform into cultural and temporal touchpoints. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Twitty reflects on what researching and uncovering his ancestry has taught him about Southern cooking and himself, and shares why, for him, food functions as a tangible form of cultural reclamation and emotional healing.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Michael W.

In this episode, we sit down with ritualist, minister, and educator Isis Indriya for an expansive exploration of ancient wisdom, mystery teachings, and the deep threads connecting humanity's past to our present moment. We begin with one of the most enduring enigmas of human history: the Great Pyramid of Giza. Isis shares the parallels between ancient civilizations like Egypt and Peru, tracing how shared cosmologies and architectural patterns may point to a deeper, interconnected human story. We also dive into the womb cave space Isis stewards in Nevada City, a sanctuary devoted to ritual, craft, and regenerative culture, where ancient practices meet modern community.Whether you're drawn to mystery traditions, ancient cosmology, or personal spiritual growth, this conversation invites you to question history, reconnect to the sacred, and remember the threads that bind us to the stars.

Fr. Mike offers a brief recap of today's chapter from Nehemiah, identifying the difference between those who were able to live in Jerusalem and those who were not. He explains the ancestral gifts that each tribe of Israel received and applies this concept to the vices and virtues of our families, as well as our freedom to adopt or reject them. Today we read from Nehemiah 11, Esther 8, 16, and Proverbs 21:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
