Evelyn's Stage Performance Continues it be a big hit.In 13 parts, By BradentonLarry - Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Evelyn directed the couple into another position. Now the man was lying on his back while his 'wife' rode his cock, rather enthusiastically, while Evelyn sat on the man's face, grinding her cunt and clit on his mouth and watching the woman enjoy that fat cock. Don watched as Evelyn squeezed her own breasts, twisting her nipples, and then reached out to do the same to the woman across from her. Evelyn leaned forward and managed to get her mouth on one of the woman's nipples, which seemed to send the woman into another orgasm. Then, Evelyn was sitting back on the man's face, head thrown back and her hands squeezing her own tits tightly as her body rocked with her own first orgasm of the session.Don's cock throbbed and twitched, as if in sympathy with Evelyn's body.When the trio changed positions again, it was Evelyn's turn to lie on her back, her ass at the edge of the bed, as the man held her legs up and shoved his thick cock back into her cunt. At first the woman knelt on the bed next to Evelyn, making out with her and sucking on her tits, but then she moved up to kneel over Evelyn's face. Don watched as Evelyn grasped the woman's ass and held her in place so she could lick and suck at her clit and cunt, while the man fucked Don's lover hard and deep.Soon the woman was climaxing again, crying out loudly so everyone in the club noticed, and the man was shoving up into Evelyn with short violent strokes until he too was clearly coming. As he eventually drew out of Evelyn, a long, thick strand of cum hung between her cunt and the head of his cock.Evelyn said something to the woman who then quickly got down on her hands and knees at the end of the bed, first to suck the man's cock clean and then to bury her face in Evelyn's messy snatch, licking and sucking up all the cum he'd left there. Soon, Evelyn was sitting half up on the bed, her muscles clenching tight, as she held the woman's head in place while Evelyn's orgasm tore through her.For a long moment, Evelyn just lay back on the bed with a happy smile on her face, and then she sat up and looked out at the audience with a grin. Don grinned back at her, though he was pretty sure she couldn't see him. Still, when she mouthed, "One more?" he gave her an enthusiastic thumbs up. In any case, they had agreed she would give him a sign to let him know she was ready to leave, and she certainly hadn't given it.After Evelyn and her two playmates cleared that set, a couple of servitors came and straightened things up quickly, but without bothering to change the bed or anything. By the time Evelyn reappeared, only the big orgy on the circular bed and the couples in the dungeon set were still going at it. Don was downstairs, idly watching the orgy, when Evelyn came back on stage, this time entering the bus stop set. She had her hair in a couple of pigtails and was wearing a light sundress. She took a seat on the plastic bench against the wall, and waited, for a bus, supposedly, but really for her next set of playmates to join her.Soon two men joined her. There was quite a bit of pantomimed flirting and exaggerated come-hither looks before the men were standing in front of Evelyn having their cocks sucked. They had apparently left the door light set to yellow, because by the time Evelyn was on her hands and knees, though still in her sundress, getting spit-roasted, another guy poked his head in and decided to join in. By the time the scene had run its course, Evelyn had serviced six guys altogether, and a beautiful brown-skinned young woman with long, thick, black hair had come in to take over on the mattress. Don was happy to watch this woman enjoy herself while Evelyn got cleaned up and ready for round three.When Evelyn came back on stage, she was again wearing high heels, but this time they came with black boots that went almost all the way up her thighs. Her torso was wrapped in a shiny black bodice that left her crotch and tits exposed, and she was wearing black gloves that went up to the middle of her biceps. Her hair was now pulled back tightly into a ponytail, and she led a beautiful naked Asian woman with black hair hanging down to the middle of her back out and promptly began tying her to a frame that left her spread-eagled and vulnerable to anything Evelyn might inflict upon her.Evelyn spent the next hour teasing and tormenting this poor woman, who seemed to love every minute of it, even when she was begging Evelyn for release. Evelyn finally let the woman come, but only after she had stuffed a rather large ass plug and a big, shiny black dildo into their respective places, and fastened heavy nipple clamps to her nipples. Then, with only the command, "Come," Evelyn reduced the woman to a shuddering, quivering display of ecstasy that went on for what seemed like several long minutes. Then Evelyn sat on a bench so the grateful woman could crawl across the floor on her hands and knees to lick and suck at Evelyn until she made her temporary mistress come.Finally, Evelyn came onto stage with the next bunch of five people to make use of the big circular bed. Two lucky men were accompanied by Evelyn and three women, who all came in naked and wasted no time in climbing onto the bed and getting acquainted. Soon it became rather hard for Don to keep track of Evelyn amid the confusion of heaving bodies. At one point, she was near the center of the bed, slowly turning with it, as she rode slowly up and down on a cock as several hands reached up to caress her body. At another, she was on her hands and knees near the edge, gliding past the front of the stage, making out with a girl lying on her back at right angles to Evelyn, while one of the men slowly, but intently fucked Evelyn from behind.They must have left the light on yellow, because while they played another five people came to join the party - three men and two women, this time. Don found a chair to get comfortable, but continued to resist touching his straining cock. He was a bit amused by all the men in the audience who were, and had been all night, watching Evelyn and bringing themselves to intense, squirting orgasms. He was, however, much more distracted by the women around him, moaning in orgasmic pleasure as they watched the shows before them.Eventually, with her hair a wild mess around her head, Evelyn broke free from the orgy on the bed and staggered to the front of the stage to give the agreed upon sign that she was ready to leave. Don went straight to the exit, expecting to have to wait for Evelyn to get cleaned up, but she met him right away, naked and carrying her clothes with her in a bundle. She had cum all over her and smelled deliciously of the sex she'd been having."Hi there!" she grinned.Don caught her face in his hands and kissed her deeply and passionately.When he released her, she asked, "Did you enjoy the show?""Fuck yes!" he laughed. "Let's go over by the pool and find someplace for the night.""Good idea! I need to get cleaned up.""Not quite yet," Don smiled. "I'm going to add to your, makeup, first.""Oh! Excellent!" she beamed. "You really had a good time?""I did!" he laughed again."Sorry I took so long. If we can't have sex, I want to make sure I'm ready to actually sleep.""Good thinking," Don grinned."What was your favorite part?" she asked."It was all very hot, but I have to admit the first one was probably my favorite," Don said. "I liked the story you were telling.""I knew you'd get it!""What was your favorite part?" he asked."Oh, that's easy," she said, "this next bit!"Laughing, he said, "That doesn't count.""Hum, well, that's really hard to say. There were high points in each scene. In the first one, for instance, I really liked having that guy, Dave, fucking me from behind while I went down on Julie. In the second, well, there was that first time I had three cocks in me at once. Then, when I let Tamiko come, that was hot! I came so many times during the last scene I couldn't say, really. Damn, I really have become a wild woman here, haven't I?""Yeah, and I love it!" Don grinned.They had reached the poolside and quickly found a double-sized lounger. Evelyn dropped her clothes on the ground and sat down on the edge of the lounger, leaning back and spreading her legs in front of Don."Damn! That's so tempting," he breathed."No touching!" she smiled up at him. "Just watch me as I touch myself. You liked watching those men fucking me, didn't you? It felt so good to have them in my cunt and ass, and to suck them, and to lick those sexy pussies and clits," Evelyn said as her hands moved slowly over her body, cupping her breasts and then sliding over her taut belly down between her legs."I kept thinking about how hard your cock must be as you were watching me up on that stage, fucking and getting fucked, sucking and licking, coming over and over." She was simultaneously strumming her clit and fucking herself with several fingers. "I kept thinking how hot it was to have you watching me, watching me suck, and fuck, and all that cum on my face and tits, and, and, up inside me, God, Don, I'm going to come again. Give me your cum, Don!"Don couldn't restrain himself any longer. His iron-hard cock swelled in his hands and then erupted, spraying a geyser of hot cum all over Evelyn's naked body. It splattered all over her belly, across her tits and neck, and hit her chin. The second gout splashed over her lower belly and covered her fingers, getting pushed up into her cunt as she clenched upon herself on the lounger, her face scrunched up tightly as she came with him.Don staggered backward a bit and Evelyn fell back on the lounger with a heavy sigh."Ugh," she moaned. "I need to clean up, but I don't think I can move.""Fuck it," Don chuckled. "Let's just do it when we wake up.""Seriously?" she laughed. "Okay.""But you do have to move. We can't sleep like that.""I'm not moving. You get your own," she waved her hand in the air. When Don actually started to sit down on the next lounger over, though, she said, "Fine, fine, I'm moving!"They managed to spend the night spooned together, in a rather sticky mess, without violating the terms of Don's mission to not have physical-contact sex, and then enjoyed a leisurely bath in the pool in the morning. At the resort's wardrobery, they managed to find Evelyn a nice backpack for her pilgrimage, and then, with a long hug and a deep, loving kiss, she set off in quest of the Grove of Rati."So, you were left alone again, in the sex resort where you couldn't actually have sex, for a year," Toshia summed up."Yeah, that's about the size of it.""How did it go?""Well, at the time it seemed very slow, but when it was over it didn't seem bad at all," Don shrugged. "I did have a couple of visitors along the way. Both Nicole and Stephanie passed through the Resort before I was done.""How were they doing?""Okay. I found out that the watcher's council seemed to have something of a pattern in their assignments. A few personalized quests to start with and then a long-term test, like my sheriff's job or Evelyn's pilgrimage. Nicole had to find the Trans-Erosian Railway and ride it from end to end. She came through the Resort heading in the opposite direction from Evelyn, hoping to connect with that train. Stephanie came through very near the end of my year after spending a year in Rendezvous without having sex with any men.""That sounds a lot easier than your task," Toshia frowned."That's what I said!" Don laughed. "She admitted it wasn't that difficult, but she was glad to get back to 'proper fucking' as she called it. Oh, and I got to talk to India a few times, too. But mostly, I just kept myself busy watching other people and getting to know the ins and outs of the Resort. I fell into a pretty stable, comfortable routine. I was actually kind of surprised when I came back into my office after a 'patrol,' and suddenly found myself in that big courtyard at the Hall of the Crimson Mountain King. At that moment, I was mostly just happy that my staff, which I had left in the office, appeared a second later on the ground at my feet. Then I remembered that this meant I could have sex again!"Toshia chuckled, "Uh oh!""Yeah," Don laughed. "I got into and out of those showers in record time. Then I dove into that super orgy for a solid hour. The first girl I hooked up with was a thin young woman, probably about nineteen. I've never had such an intense passionate session of anonymous sex in my life. I was nice about it, of course, but I fucked the hell out of that girl.""I'll bet!" Toshia laughed. "Did she object?"Don shook his head, "Not at all. But after I'd had my fun, I cleaned up and headed upstairs for my next mission."Task Five:"Congratulations, Don, you're now more than halfway finished with your tasks," Pamela almost smiled. "For your next assignment, we want you to find a familiar face. To be clear, we mean you must find someone you clearly recognize, and can put a name to, but whom you haven't seen previously in Eros.""So, if I recognize my second-grade teacher but can't remember her name, that doesn't count?""Exactly," she nodded."Do they have to remember who they are?" Don asked, thinking of all the people who seemed to have little or no memory of their non-Erosian existence. In particular, he recalled the stunning Price is Right model he had been so happy to meet on the beach outside Rendezvous."No," Pamela said. "We will be able to verify their identities to corroborate you.""That's handy.""We are aware that this particular task is largely out of your control and could take a very long time to complete. We are also, frankly, impressed with your efforts so far. So, we have decided to grant you some of the power you are seeking a bit early."She gestured to a ring that was now on the table in front of Don. Picking it up, he thought it had the weight and look of white gold. He slipped it onto his left middle finger. Nothing happened."You have to press it twice in quick succession to call up the menu."Don pressed the ring twice with his thumb as if he were double-clicking the ring. Suddenly, floating a bit above the midrange of his visual field was a horizontal blue bar. There was one item, in white letters, on that bar: "Travel.""Concentrate on the desired menu item to activate it," Pamela went on.Don wasn't sure what he was supposed to be doing, but he focused intently on "Travel," until a drop-down menu opened with the following list: Abbey of Records; Crimson Mountain - Porch; Elven Court; Gladys's Office; Grotto of Ishtar; Heolfor House; India's Home; Manor; Rendezvous - Beach; Rendezvous - Riverboat Dock; Resort; Shagbottom; Sisterhood Castle; Untamed Village; Witches' Glen; and, Wizard's Home."Nice!" Don breathed."When you visit a new location for which there is an established landmark it will automatically be added to your list," Pamela continued to explain. "Before you select anything, I should add that you can dismiss the display at any time."Don tried willing the menu and bar away and they promptly vanished. He called it up again and dismissed it, just for practice."When you select a travel destination, the menu will automatically close when you arrive. With the exception of these offices, you will not be able to use the ring to travel when anyone else can see you. Well, anyone who doesn't have a similar ring or one that is higher in rank, that is. Also, when traveling to a location, you will arrive at the closest safe position to the landmark where no one can see your arrival.""This is incredibly useful!" Don grinned."It is," Pamela nodded. "Do you have any questions about your task?""Find someone I can name from outside Eros," Don smiled. "Then report back here.""Exactly," Pamela said. "You should be able to manage all your own travel from now on.""So, I just call up the menu, focus on "Travel," then focus on a destination, "Then suddenly Don found himself standing outside the Abbey of Records."Whoa! Seriously?" Toshia gaped."Yeah," Don chuckled. "It's pretty cool. When I'm in Eros I can bop around like crazy. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot of fun.""Damn!""Well, I am restricted to the places I've already found, like in a video game with unlockable fast-travel points, but it's still massively useful. I'm thinking about setting off on a general exploration trip when I go back, to collect as many landmarks as I can. Stephanie probably has a lot more than I do. I know Evelyn's list is different from mine. She's got the Dark Labyrinth and a bunch of places she found on her pilgrimage, but not the Wizard's Home or Shagbottom, for instance.""That must have made your task much easier.""Well," Don paused. "I'm sure it cut out a lot of time going from one place to another, but it still took a lot of time to find someone I recognized. I started out just working down the list of places, skipping Gladys's office, the Grotto of Ishtar, and India's home. I was at the Abbey of Records anyway, so I went in and asked Charlotte if she could help me out at all. Naturally, I had to go through the whole routine, which took quite a while, and, in the end, she got a lot more out of me than I did from her. She wasn't aware of anyone that I might recognize, but then I had known it was going to be a long shot anyway. I crossed that off my list of places to try."I skipped the Crimson Mountain, figuring it would just take too damn long to try to comb through that orgy, or go looking for other rooms in that place, and went right to the elven court, Heolfor House, et cetera. It was kind of fun revisiting places and talking to people again. The Wizard and Madeleine, the Player, the Lady and Robert all say 'hi,' by the way. And Daphne says I'm to bend you over and fuck you hard in the ass.""Oh my!" Toshia laughed, actually feeling her cheeks reddening a bit.

Gas, Geld und geopolitische Spannungen – Zypern sitzt auf einem Milliarden-Schatz unter dem Meer. Doch warum fließt noch kein Geld?Vor einigen Tagen wurde ein weiteres riesiges Gasfeld vor der Küste Zyperns entdeckt: Pegasus. Schon seit über einem Jahrzehnt wurden vor der Küste Zyperns große Erdgasvorkommen entdeckt – Felder wie Aphrodite, Glaucus oder Pegasus könnten das kleine EU-Land in einen Energieplayer verwandeln. Milliarden-Kubikmeter Gas warten darauf, gefördert zu werden. Doch es gibt ein Problem: Politik, internationale Machtspiele – und eine angespannte Lage mit der Türkei.In dieser Folge erfährst du:Wie groß die Gasfunde wirklich sind – und was sie wert sein könntenWarum der Ausbau stockt, obwohl internationale Konzerne längst bereitstehenWelche Rolle Ägypten, Israel und Europa spielenUnd was das Ganze mit deiner Heizrechnung zu tun haben könnte

But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. Indeed, he was ill and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. Therefore, I am even more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad, and I may have less anxiety. So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me. (Philippians 2:25-30). After commending Timothy to the Philippians, Paul turns his attention to Epaphroditus who gets even more space than Timothy and a commendation even grander than Timothy's because of the things he endured for the sake of the gospel. He was probably a convert since he was named for the goddess Aphrodite. Roman prisons made little, if any, provision for the prisoner's food, clothing, bedding, or hygiene. Such things would need to be brought into the prison by family and friends. The church at Philippi, having heard that Paul was imprisoned in Rome, sent Epaphroditus with money and other gifts and charged him to remain and tend to all of Paul's needs on their behalf. As he was fulfilling this service, Epaphroditus became deathly ill. But through God's grace he recovered. Paul now wants to return him to Philippi, an act which will relieve the anxiety of the church (which has heard of Epaphroditus' illness), and of Epaphroditus himself (who has been distressed that the church was distressed). No doubt much of the church's anxiety was not only concern for the health of the messenger but also frustration over what seemed a failed mission. Epaphroditus was sent to serve Paul, but as it turned out, Paul ended up caring for a deathly ill co-worker. Paul wants to relieve all such anxieties and to pave the way for a joyful return. The mission had not failed. Epaphroditus became a servant to Paul in his need, and just as Christ Jesus “became obedient to death—even death on a cross”, so Epaphroditus came near death in faithful service for Christ. Just as God, in response to Christ's obedience, exalted him to the highest place, so Epaphroditus should be welcomed back to Philippi with joy and honor because of his obedience and sacrifice. In relation to Paul, he is a brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier; in relation to the church, he is their messenger and servant. As to his performance while with Paul, Epaphroditus almost died for the work of Christ. In a hostile environment he did not retreat but risked his life to minister to Paul. The church should not doubt him but follow his example of willing sacrifice. Therefore, says Paul, let no cloud of doubt or disappointment spoil his home coming. Welcome him with the joy and honor appropriate to his selfless and sacrificial ministry. Epaphroditus risked his life for the sake of Christ. He is to be respected for this. Who do you know who risked or risks much for the sake of the gospel and the coming kingdom? We should all know such a person, whether they have already passed into glory or still here on this earth. They inspire our faith. They inspire our sacrifice. In the early church, there was a society known as ‘the gamblers', who risked their lives to care for the sick and imprisoned and to give martyrs and even enemies an honourable burial. The work of the indwelling God changed both Timothy and Epaphroditus into the likeness of the great Servant, the Lord Jesus Christ. They were varied characters, with varying gifts and diverse temperaments; their backgrounds could not have been more dissimilar; but they were each coming to resemble the Saviour; they loved him and followed his example. What was true of them can be true of us; God has not changed. As you journey on go with the blessing of God: May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing; at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.  

Don's bargain with a seductive vampire.In 13 parts, By BradentonLarry - Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Lady PrimroseThe long, wood-paneled ballroom was largely what Don would have expected. There were a pair of tables near the entrance heavily laden with bowls and platters of fruit, as well as a fountain jetting clear, cold water surrounded by crystal glasses. There were doors at intervals down the length of the two side walls that seemed to open into the gardens, and illuminating the entire room were three very large candle chandeliers sparkling with golden light. In what seemed to be entirely appropriate décor, any would-be empty wall space of any considerable size was hung with high quality paintings. However, the paintings all had a decidedly erotic bent, as if someone had decided to redo the illustrations from the Kama Sutra in the style of the Dutch and English masters of the 18th and 19th centuries. There were some portraits too, but they were all showing much more skin than normal. The life-sized painting of a reclining pale young man with a rather generous erection was not exactly what one expected to see in a respectable Victorian mansion.Or, at least, not displayed prominently in the grand ballroom.The guests who had been admitted through the main doors, along with Don, gathered about the tables for some fruit and water, and then gradually began to disperse along the length of the ballroom, where they mingled with a number of people who seem to have been admitted to the room earlier, or who had come in through the garden. While Don, Jerome, Bian, Rodney, and Marilyn, seemed fairly representative of the former crowd of guests and of Erosians in general, the latter set seemed quite different.Each of these others moved with an unusually feline grace and unmistakable confidence. To paraphrase an astute (though fictional) observer of human nature, they walked as if the place belonged to them. They were all of them exceptionally good looking and possessed of an undeniable sex appeal, even for Eros. Don wasn't really surprised to note that these attendees were a bit paler than the other guests.Music began to play. It was unobtrusive instrumental music, ideal for slow dancing, but modern enough that no one felt compelled to waltz or anything like that. Don watched as the paler partiers moved among the others, smiling and batting their eyes, selecting, and engaging. Most led their chosen partners toward the open end of the ballroom where they danced together, but some slipped off through the open doors into the garden.Don felt a cool hand slip into his and turned to see the lovely Cessily next to him. She was now wearing a dark red evening gown with a plunging neckline that showed off most of her pale breasts to very nice advantage. Her blue eyes twinkled up at him and her lips, now crimson to match her gown, were smiling in a rather inviting way."Good evening," Cessily purred. "'Don,' wasn't it?""It was, and still is," Don nodded, unable to resist smiling back at the charming woman."Would you like to dance, Don?" she smiled."Is dancing all you have in mind, my dear?" he managed."Oh, well, there's always more than dancing on my mind," she laughed."In that at least we're kindred spirits," admitted Don."If you enjoy our dance, perhaps we could retire to someplace a bit more private, ""Something a bit more shadowy, say?"She smiled again, "If you like, though I don't mind an audience.""Once more, we have that in common.""I could tell I liked you right from the start, Don.""You seem to have excellent taste, fair Cessily."She leaned in closer, so Don could feel her lips very lightly brushing his neck, as she said, "I would love to see if your taste is so fine."Don swallowed hard, and then managed to say, "I must say I find the thought very tempting, but, "She placed her hand on his chest and looked up into his eyes with another of her fetching smiles and said, "Would you like Lucien to join us?"Laughing a little, Don said, "No, that's quite alright. It's just that I'm afraid I really must save myself for Lady Primrose.""Oh," she actually pouted a bit."However, if she has no use for me, "Cessily rolled her eyes a bit, "No, she'll just eat you up, the greedy bitch."Don was a bit taken aback, and a bit put off by her phrasing, despite his pre-existing suspicions."Oh, don't mind me, sweet thing," Cessily laughed. "I just had my heart set on you for the night.""That is very flattering! In other circumstances, "She leaned in and rose up on her toes a bit to kiss him on the cheek, then said, "If you get tired of waiting for her ladyship, don't hesitate to come find me."Then, flashing him a bright smile and a quick wink, Cessily slipped off to find another quarry."I've never seen anyone turn Cessily down before," said a familiar voice from over Don's shoulder.Don turned to see Lucien regarding him with a slight, diffident smile."It wasn't easy," Don admitted, "but I think it's best if I wait until I get the chance to talk to Lady Primrose.""Interesting," shrugged Lucien. "She generally likes to make a late entrance. Normally I'd wish you luck resisting the charms of the other women, and men, here, but if you can say 'no' to Cessily, I suspect you don't need any help in that regard."Don laughed, "Again, it wasn't easy."Lucien nodded and left Don to fend off the advances of several other extremely attractive women who seemed quite eager to slip off to a darkened corner with him. Two of them actually suggested they share him."Do you mean, I can enjoy you both?""Oh, yes, of course," said the redhead, as her raven-haired companion licked her lips while admiring Don's neck.Don smiled and proffered his now customary response. The two women didn't seem to mind too much, and Don soon saw them dancing with a very cheerful Rodney, as nearby Marilyn seemed to swoon in the embrace of a tall, dark stranger.When the two women led Rodney off into the garden, Don thought he should follow. He doubted that anyone was in serious danger here, but he wanted to confirm his suspicions and perhaps see something erotic along the way.Before he could make it to the garden though, he found himself drawn up short as a gorgeous woman slipped up next to him and took his arm."I understand you have been waiting for me, sir," she said in a low, sensuous voice steeped in a cultured English accent.She was only a little shorter than Don, wearing a black dress that clung lovingly to her body, accentuating her curves and emphasizing her generous breasts with impressive décolletage. Her skin was fair in the way the aristocracy used to find a necessary part of beauty. She had thick chestnut hair pulled back and then falling over her bare shoulders, dark red lips smiling at Don, and emerald green eyes dancing with candlelight and echoing the little glints of her earrings. She was, to put it entirely too simply, staggeringly beautiful."Lady Primrose, I presume?""Indeed," she nodded."I'm very pleased to meet you," Don took her hand and raised it briefly to his lips. He said, "My name is Don and I am at your service."She smiled a bit coolly and said, "Well, we shall see about that, Don. Are you enjoying the party?""I am," Don nodded. "I've been enjoying the artwork, and the company is quite interesting, though now I see that it was all but a light appetizer."She cocked her eyebrow at him and gave him half a smile, and then said, "I should 'make the rounds,' so to speak; would you be so kind as to accompany me?"Don bowed a bit, "Of course, milady."Patting his hand with her cool fingers, she said, "You may call me Clarissa, Don."Arm-in-arm they moved through the guests still in the ballroom. The guests who had come in with Don seemed largely entranced by their paler companions, but those last all smiled and greeted Lady Clarissa Primrose as she passed.As they started toward the gardens, she again addressed Don directly, saying, "You have questions.""I usually do, yes," Don smiled."Curiosity is a nearly insatiable thirst, isn't it?""Quite.""Indulge yourself, Don; drink deep," she smiled as she watched his face."Lucien called Cessily his sister, but that isn't literally true, is it?""Of all the questions you must have, that's the first?" she chuckled.Don shrugged, "It's the one I'm most likely to forget and regret not asking.""There are several ways to be siblings," she said. "They share the same mother, but not a womb. They share not genes but blood.""And you are their mother, I take it?""One of them, yes.""So, 'Lady' is a bit of an understatement.""What would you have me called?""Queen seems more appropriate," Don decided."You flatter me, Don," she laughed. "At least this is more interesting than the usual sort. One grows a bit tired of the usual compliments."They had already passed a couple on a shadowy bench. The woman was straddling the man's lap and had her head buried in the crook of his neck. In another corner, a woman leaned back against a wall as a dark-haired man who might have been Lucien had his mouth fixed on her exposed breast.When they came to Rodney, who seemed to be getting a rather extreme hickey from the redhead and an enthusiastic blowjob from the darker woman, Don asked, "Are they in danger?""Only if they want to be," Clarissa smiled."Does that happen often?""More often than one might expect, but not what I would call 'often.'""And how does one become, your child? That doesn't sound right," Don frowned."Perhaps it's best not to strain that metaphor," she patted his hand again and turned him back to the house. "One has to drink in turn.""Yes, of course," Don nodded."Is that why you wanted to see me, Don?"He smiled at her, "No, I'm here on other business.""Interesting," she mused as they came back into the ballroom. "You saved yourself for me, and I see that you understand what that would mean, at least normally, but you don't seem to have come for the usual reason at all, though I sense that you find the thought appealing. This would make sense if you were here to join my family."She had led him through the ballroom and back to the entry hall, and they were now climbing the stairs."Moreover, there's something different about you, Don." She raised his wrist and inhaled deeply. "You have, layers, complexity."She pressed her lips to his wrist and let her tongue play lightly over his flesh. He thought for a moment that he could feel her teeth against his skin. For a moment he thought she would bite him, and he wanted her to."Uh, yes, there is a depth of flavor to you, Don. It's quite unusual." She looked up at him without raising her mouth from his wrist. She smiled, "Will you give me a taste?"Don suddenly realized that they had climbed all the way to the top floor and had come into a large candle-lit bedroom with a large canopy bed in the center of it. It reminded him of the bedroom Toshia and he had found themselves in so long ago. It also struck him as a much darker, more sinister reflection of the Lady's bedroom in that distant Manor. With a tremendous effort of will, Don remembered that he had a mission to accomplish."Perhaps," he finally managed, as he moved his hand to cup Lady Clarissa Primrose's chin in his hand and draw her to him. He leaned in a bit, kissing her full lips lightly.Don just meant to put her off for a moment with that kiss, but she wasn't having any light kisses. She slipped her arms around him, one slipping up so that she could hold the back of his head, and kissed him passionately, hungrily. Her lips were cool, but her enthusiasm was heat enough. Her tongue slipped into his mouth insistently, as Don's hands moved up over her back until his fingers found the little zipper handle between her lower shoulder blades. When he'd opened the back of her gown, she stepped back a little and shimmied out of her black sheath.She gave Don a moment to admire her beautiful alabaster body, before she stepped to him again, raising her cool fingers to caress his face."We could share the sweetest of ecstasies, Don," she purred as her fingers dexterously unbuttoned his shirt in what seemed both slow motion and extremely quickly. She leaned in to kiss the side of his neck as his jacket and then his shirt fell to the floor. He felt the tip of her tongue brushing his skin.She pulled back and looked him in the eye with a confident smile on her dark lips, and said, "You have some power in this world, I can taste it on your flesh, but you've never known the power I can share with you, if you'll but give me a taste of yourself. You aren't afraid, I can tell. You want to give me what I want."Letting his hands move over her body, caressing her curves, lingering over her perfect, full breasts, Don smiled and repeated, "Perhaps."Somehow, she had undone his belt and opened his slacks. She was up against him again now with her hand in his pants, squeezing and pulling on his cock in a grip that was exquisitely tight, but still on the side of pain that counts as pleasure.Her nose was brushing against his, and he could feel her breath on his lips as she said, "You want to be inside me, Don. You can't deny it. You could have given yourself to Cessily or any of the others, but you saved yourself for me. Surrender yourself to me, Don."Don forced himself to tear his hands away from touching her long enough to push his pants down, and then kicked his shoes and pants to the side. He licked his lips, swallowed, and said, again, "Perhaps."Her eyes, so close to his now, narrowed and she growled a bit. Letting go of his sex, she placed her hand flat on his chest and shoved him backward, throwing him easily back on the silken coverings of the bed. Before Don could do more than land on his back splayed out helplessly, she was on top of him, crouched over him and looking down into his face. There was a fire in her eyes and for the first time, it was clear her

John 19:38-42After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, a follower of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, came to Pilate and asked if he could take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came to remove his body. Nicodemus, who at first had come to Jesus by night also came, bringing with him a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds. They took the body, wrapping it in the spices and linens, according to the Jewish burial customs. Now, there was a garden in the place where Jesus had been crucified and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been [buried.] So, because it was the Jewish Day of Preparation, and because the tomb was nearby, they laid the body of Jesus there. “The Primeval Mythology of Genesis: Creation”I've already heard some curiosity – maybe mixed with some cynical suspicion – about the title of this new sermon series: “The Primeval Mythology of Genesis.” Curiosity and suspicion aren't terrible things and I think it's the word “mythology” that stirs the pot for some people, which was kind of our goal. Part of the point with this next round of sermons is to remind ourselves and each other that we're called to read the Bible LITERATELY, not LITERALLY, and to see that its message and good news – its grace, hope, and promise – go deeper and wider when we do.So first, things, first … which is what “primeval” means, sort of … first things; of the earliest ages; the beginning of the beginning, you might say. The first eleven chapters of the Bible's first book are where we will spend our time the next few weeks. The good stuff before the good stuff. The stage-setting. The foundation. The genesis, is where we begin.And the word “mythology” rightly ruffles feathers if we are inclined to equate the foundational narrative of our faith story with the fables, fairy tales, and fictional “myths” of, say, the Greek gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, and the like); or Aesop's fables; or the tall tales of the wonderful world of Walt Disney. But that's not what we're up to.“Myth” and “mythology” can mean something more, something deeper from a theological perspective, which is what we plan to wrestle with. I would contend that, when we limit stories like creation, where we are beginning this morning, to all and only what we can glean from it LITERALLY, that that's precisely how and when we reduce it to something like a mere fable, a fairy tale, a fictional “myth,” rather than when we wonder about the holy, sacred, profound Truths that this story – and the others like it in Scripture – hold for our life and faith in this world. And where better to start than at the very beginning – “it's a very good place to start” – in the beginning, with the fact that, if we're honest, the two very different versions of creation that we just heard – from Chapters 1 and 2 of the same book – make it really hard to take either of them LITERALLY?I mean, those are two very different versions of the same story, right? (Many Bibles, like the ones we read from each Sunday, say it plainly. Chapter 2 is “another story of creation.”) The story in Chapter 1 tells of the day-by-day, very long work-week of the Almighty, who creates first this, and then that, with a break and no small measure of satisfaction between each.“…and God saw that it was good…” “…and God saw that it was good…” “…and God saw that it was good…”“…and there was evening and there was morning, the first day…” “…and there was evening and there was morning, the third day…” “…and there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day…”But Chapter 2 goes down altogether differently. In that version of creation, God – like some sort of holy potter, or divine craftsman, or sacred sculptor – makes a man from the dust, then plants a garden and puts him to work, then decides he could use a companion and some help, so then creates all the rest, and a woman, to boot.In version #2, we don't know which came first or next, on which day. And none of that matters.What matters is that God, something Divine, did something divine – created the heavens, the earth, and all that is in them. What matters is that it was and is good. What matters is that we are part of that goodness – you and I – and all people – created good, by God; and created for good, for God's sake.What matters, if you ask me, is that we stop reducing the Bible to some sort of prehistoric science book – the authors of which never could have known a thing about bunker-busting missiles or atomic bombs; about Gaza or the West Bank, as we know of them today; about electric cars, school shootings, cancer, chemo-therapy, Medicaid or social media. And that's okay. These stories have something to say to all of that – and to all of us – nonetheless.Because what the creation stories tells us – among so many other things – is that we are made in the image of the divine, even though we do so much to make that hard to believe. And we are made in the image of the divine, not just because we have heads, shoulders, knees, or toes……but we are made in the image of the Divine because we are made for community, like God; with the power to create and care about and have compassion, like God; that we have the capacity to do justice, like God; make sacrifices, like God; be generous, like God; forgive, like God; and love one another, like God.Oh, and this is important: the stories of creation make it very clear that none of us IS God and that we shouldn't try to be – which Pastor Cogan will get to next week, I believe.Instead, for now, let's let the stories of creation inspire within us what, I believe they were meant to inspire and to teach and to proclaim all along: a sense of reverence and awe about what God can do; a posture of humility and gratitude for our part in the grand scheme of things; and a response from each of us – and all of us together – that is generous, careful, and full of service that acknowledges our connection to all people and to the grand scheme of things.Because today's good news includes the notion that we are created “just a little lower than the angels” – as the Psalmist puts it – and that God calls us to live differently because of that Truth. God invites us to tend to and care for what belongs to God – the earth and all that is in it. God calls us to replenish what we use up – from the earth and from each other, too; to give more than we take, save, and keep for ourselves.So, what if these primeval creation stories are nothing more – and certainly nothing less – than prehistoric best efforts at describing something that cannot be described; that is too big for words; that are meant to love us and leave us in awe and wonder for what God has done for us – and hopes to do through us – for the sake of the world where we live?What if these primeval creation stories are nothing more – and certainly nothing less – than poetic prose from a prehistoric Mary Oliver, who could marvel at creation as well as anyone, as far as I'm concerned? Her poem Wild Geese, goes like this:You do not have to be good.You do not have to walk on your kneesfor a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.You only have to let the soft animal of your bodylove what it loves.Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.Meanwhile the world goes on.Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rainare moving across the landscapes,over the prairies and the deep trees,the mountains and the rivers.Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,are heading home again.Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,the world offers itself to your imagination,calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –over and over announcing your placein the family of things.What if the point of the creation stories is simply, and profoundly, to announce your place – and mine – in the family of things?And what if these primeval creation stories are nothing more – and certainly nothing less – than like clever song lyrics from a pre-historic John Prine, encouraging you, with a wink and smile to…“Blow up your TV, throw away your paperGo to the country, build you a homePlant a little garden, eat a lot of peachesTry and find Jesus on your own.”What if these primeval creation stories are nothing more – and certainly nothing less – than prehistoric pieces of art – trying to capture, with words, something like Van Gogh's “Starry Night”: or Monet's “Water Lilies”: or even Ansel Adams who, like the story tellers of Genesis, certainly had a thing for trees. But, speaking of John Prine, I hope the Gospel reading wasn't too on the nose this morning. But I wanted to connect all of this to Jesus, of course. Because it is as poetic and powerful to me that our faith story begins and ends, in a garden, sometimes.There aren't enough of even the most beautiful words, songs, poems, or prose to adequately convey the power of God's love in creation – or by way of the Word made flesh, in Jesus. And I think the two different versions of creation that we find in Genesis aren't in competition. They're just evidence and acknowledgment of that fact – of how grand and glorious and full of grace this God is that we worship.So I think it's a beautiful thing that both versions of creation's origin story – and the consummation of God's resurrection in Jesus … God's defeat of death … Christ's victory over Sin for our sake … I think it's beautiful that all of that, too, takes place in a garden – where light shines in the darkness; where the goodness of God bears fruit for the sake of the world; where sin never gets the last word; where we are all made and made new in God's image; and where hope rules, in spite of the chaos, because of the grace, mercy, and love of the God we know in Jesus.Amen

Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show with your host with the most-DJ Jon Lockley. The ole randomizer wheel did so well choosing last month's genre, that the Lockstar decided to give it another spin. This time around, she stopped on Drum and Bass. Now this is a first for Jon as he has never made a Drum and Bass mix before. Oh yes, back in the day he dabbled around with the Drum and Bass on vinyl, but he never even attempted to make a full on mix of it. So, here we go folks. It's the Lockstar's debut mix of some jump up, filthy, nasty beats and bass that will have you needing to take a seat when it's done.. The whole mix is mint, but the first 30 minutes is on another level. As always, if you dig what you're hearing, like, comment, and share with your friends.

From goddess worship to womb magic, sacred sexuality to Sophia, this ideology isn't sacred - it's satanic. In this episode, I expose the ancient demonic spirits behind figures like Lilith, Isis, Aphrodite, Kali and more that represent the divine feminine embodiment. This is the lie the serpent whispered to Eve in the garden, now repackaged with filters and hashtags. ✨ If you've been drawn to the Divine Feminine, goddess energy, or feminine mysticism - I pray this is your wake-up call.

Achilles. Agamemnon. Odysseus. Hector. The lives of these and many other men in the greatest epics of ancient Greece have been pored over endlessly in the past three millennia. But these are not just tales about heroic men. There are scores of women as well—complex, fascinating women whose stories have gone unexplored for far too long. In Penelope's Bones: A New History of Homer's World through the Women Written Out of It (University of Chicago Press, 2025), award-winning classicist and historian Dr. Emily Hauser pieces together compelling evidence from archaeological excavations and scientific discoveries to unearth the richly textured lives of women in Bronze Age Greece—the era of Homer's heroes. Here, for the first time, we come to understand the everyday lives and experiences of the real women who stand behind the legends of Helen, Briseis, Cassandra, Aphrodite, Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso, Penelope, and more. In this captivating journey through Homer's world, Dr. Hauser explains era-defining discoveries, such as the excavation of Troy and the decipherment of Linear B tablets that reveal thousands of captive women and their children; more recent finds like the tomb of the Griffin Warrior at Pylos, whose tomb contents challenge traditional gender attributes; DNA evidence showing that groups of warriors buried near the Black Sea with their weapons and steeds were, in fact, Amazon-like female fighters; a prehistoric dye workshop on Crete that casts fresh light on “women's work” of dyeing, spinning, and weaving textiles; and a superbly preserved shipwreck off the coast of Turkey whose contents tell of the economic and diplomatic networks crisscrossing the Bronze Age Mediterranean. Essential reading for fans of Madeline Miller or Natalie Haynes, this riveting new history brings to life the women of the Bronze Age Aegean as never before, offering a groundbreaking reassessment of the ancient world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

But these are not just tales about heroic men. There are scores of women as well—complex, fascinating women whose stories have gone unexplored for far too long. In Penelope's Bones: A New History of Homer's World through the Women Written Out of It (University of Chicago Press, 2025), award-winning classicist and historian Dr. Emily Hauser pieces together compelling evidence from archaeological excavations and scientific discoveries to unearth the richly textured lives of women in Bronze Age Greece—the era of Homer's heroes. Here, for the first time, we come to understand the everyday lives and experiences of the real women who stand behind the legends of Helen, Briseis, Cassandra, Aphrodite, Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso, Penelope, and more. In this captivating journey through Homer's world, Dr. Hauser explains era-defining discoveries, such as the excavation of Troy and the decipherment of Linear B tablets that reveal thousands of captive women and their children; more recent finds like the tomb of the Griffin Warrior at Pylos, whose tomb contents challenge traditional gender attributes; DNA evidence showing that groups of warriors buried near the Black Sea with their weapons and steeds were, in fact, Amazon-like female fighters; a prehistoric dye workshop on Crete that casts fresh light on “women's work” of dyeing, spinning, and weaving textiles; and a superbly preserved shipwreck off the coast of Turkey whose contents tell of the economic and diplomatic networks crisscrossing the Bronze Age Mediterranean. Essential reading for fans of Madeline Miller or Natalie Haynes, this riveting new history brings to life the women of the Bronze Age Aegean as never before, offering a groundbreaking reassessment of the ancient world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

At Styx and Bones, we don't just study the goddesses—we teach how we see ourselves reflected in them, speak their names, and develop archetypes based on their historical epithets to help us reflect, reconnect, and remember.In ancient Greek religion, goddesses weren't abstract. They were complex, multifaceted beings known through their epithets—names like Areia, Paphia, Enodia, or Soteira. These titles held real meaning in temples, rituals, and the lives of worshippers. Today, we research and reconstruct these forgotten threads—not just to recover history, but to reclaim our own stories through them.These archetypes, developed through our research at the temple. are more than categories—they're mirrors. They help us see ourselves reflected in the divine, and understand how each aspect of the goddess teaches us something about power, love, war, beauty, protection, and more.Intro: (0:00)Greek Goddess Archetypes Boxes, Readings and Myths:(4:00)Aphrodite, The Adonia and More on Extra Members: (5:55)Why We Developed Greek Goddess Archetypes: (10:09)Breaking Down the Greek Goddesses into Our Archetypes: (15:22)How We See Ourselves Reflected in the Greek Goddess Archetypes: (56:12)Check out our Patreon, Styx and Bones Temple's Store, Blogs and more! ⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/styxandbonessFOLLOW STYX AND BONES ON SOCIAL MEDIA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonestemple⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@styxandbonestemple ⁠⁠FOLLOW HIGH PRIESTESS CHELSEA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠FOLLOW DR.

In this episode, we go deeper into the ancient feminine power they tried to bury.Before patriarchy rewrote the narrative, women were seen as sacred. Goddesses like Inanna, Hathor, Lilith, Aphrodite, Oshun, and Shakti weren't just symbols, they represented fertility, sensuality, leadership, wisdom, and divine authority. But over time, their stories were distorted or erased altogether.This episode is a reminder that your power has ancient roots. We're not reclaiming anything new, we're remembering what they tried to make us forget.

But this isn't just about drama—we're going beyond the surface.We explore how Persephone and Aphrodite were both honored in ancient Greek religion as Despoina, the "Mistress of the House," a powerful title that speaks to their divine authority and queenship.We'll unpack how their worship overlapped, what their titles meant in ancient cult practices, and how modern interpretations often fall into the trap of pitting two powerful women against each other—a dynamic that reflects more about us than the ancient world.Intro: 0:00Aphrodite Month in Our Mystery Cult!: 1:53Aphrodite Restock + Statue Updates in the Temple: 5:20Do Aphrodite and Persephone Hate Each Other?: 7:57Why the Dark Divine Feminine Movement Appropriates our Religion: 23:19Despoina the Epithet of Queen: 27:40Check out our Patreon, Styx and Bones Temple's Store, Blogs and more! ⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/styxandbonessFOLLOW STYX AND BONES ON SOCIAL MEDIA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonestemple⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@styxandbonestemple ⁠⁠FOLLOW HIGH PRIESTESS CHELSEA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠FOLLOW DR.

Today's episode walks you through this week's astrology + practical and magical tactics to help you harness and navigate the energetics May 26th - June 1st 2025. Last week was big and mixed. The sun and Saturn both moved to new signs. Did you stay alert? Did you lean into your practices? What can you revamp, rewrite, rework, or do new in order to empower and grow? Last week did you: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs? Listen to 1 NEW episode on The Magic Spark? Do the Kali tapping? This week has sweetness. It requires quiet and rest in any way you can; toddler bedtimes, naps, meditation, less humaning, do less, refuel more, drink tea, minimize caffeine, pull cards, spend time outdoors, do your tapping or shaking offerings. There is something very new beginning this week. This week: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs Listen to 1️ NEW episode on The Magic Spark Rejuvenate, rest, replenish. But seriously. Monday, May 26th: - Happy Mo(o)nday. The new moon in Gemini happens today. Dark of the moon. Hekate and Kali's lunation. Considered the witchiest time of the lunar cycle, with the highest probability of messaging, ah-ha or light bulb moments making their way through and to you. Honor it by carving space out today for something quiet, soft, cosmic, or woo; meditation, nap, pulling tarot, checking your chart for where Gemini sits, or simply taking a walk outside with no other stimuli. Clarity and messaging will come when we make them welcome. Turn down external input today through Thursday....whatever this lunation is offering us...we want. There are blessings, healings, understanding, and soul truths IF we heed the call of replenishing our vessels...a.k.a. resting. We've had some placements shift and the elemental count is now: ▪ 5 planets in

Today's episode walks you through this week's astrology + practical and magical tactics to help you harness and navigate the energetics May 19th - 25th 2025. Last week was a layer cake of deep feels and healing. A reveal, loaded with spiritual topics, it was sensitive and we may have cried. Multiple times. Did you let it out? Did you allow the shower from your eyes to refresh the way you see things moving forward? The reveal under the Scorpio Full Moon was something we clearly need to let go of. If it's a relationship, that's the easier version, but it also could have been our most subconscious shadow of how we think about ourselves. It's time to let the sub-par, diminished, shamed, judged, or imposter narratives GO! Last week did you: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs? Listen to 2️⃣ NEW episode on The Magic Spark ? Have a good cry? This week is big and mixed. Again. Of course. It's 2025. The sun and saturn both shift and that's simply enough to have things feeling different and weird....yet again. Stay alert. Stay or get in practice. It's the only way out. Stay present. Pivot when needed. Witness the feelings but try to get really curious as to their reality. What can you revamp, rewrite, rework, or do new in order to empower and grow? This week: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs

Today's episode walks you through this week's astrology + practical and magical tactics to help you harness and navigate the energetics May 12th - 18th 2025. Last week was a quiet and interesting swim towards our full moon today. Did you use the space to ground, to float, think, meditate, ponder, or allow feelings through? Last week did you: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs? Listen to 2 NEW episode on The Magic Spark Watch your Full Moon Tarot Reading on UWS This week is a layer cake of deep feels and healing. A reveal, loaded with spiritual topics, our literal dreams as well as our nightly astral travel, plus the Pisces of it all just says we're sensitive and we may cry. It's ok. Tears are a toxin release. They purge us of cortisol. LET IT OUT. Allow the mini shower from your eyes to refresh the way you see things. This week: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs Listen to 3 NEW episode on The Magic Spark Have a good cry Monday, May 12th: - Happy Mo(o)nday. Today is our micro full moon in Scorpio. Based on our community reading she's a pretty one, offering more softness than you'd expect. The energy continues to build through Thursday. It will either fuel you to finish up, launch, or complete something or...it'll drain you with its high frequency. As always, listen to your vessel. Hydrate. Spend some time outside. Get on the mat. Carve time alone to listen to your own heartbeat. Something wants to be heard. Something needs to be held. Something is being called up to be surrendered on the altar of the goddesses. They want you to let go of something. You don't need it any more. Carve space for quiet. Create time to feel, to cry, to witness. Scorpio always goes deep. Go with it. A mini underworld walk, a tiny baptism for new life minus some of the old skins, old narratives, and old wounds. Release, release, release. Flow with the energy that rolls thru. You may be called to hermit more. Do so. Tuesday, May 13th: - Day 1 of Stable Full Moon #2 -No props needed for this movement series! We do deep work today. You'll see all fours, plank, down dog, dolphin, dolphin push ups, serratus push ups, rolling plank, baby bird, swan, side kick series, side plank, knees off and camel. The full menagerie is here for strength and challenge. - Watch our Full Moon Tarot Reading. Something will be revealed and have you approaching something very differently, because you understand more. It's a delightful reading for this cycle. Don't skip it. Find it in the astrology monthly meditation and tarot section of your Unicorn Wellness Studio member library. Wednesday, May 14th: EP 135 on The Magic Spark Is our Gemini season tarot forecast. One card for the spirit in which to move through things with a mini dive into The Lovers card. Thursday, May 15th: - EP 136 on The Magic Spark Is our Gemini season deep dive and astro forecast. It may publish late...like next week, because I'm traveling but it's coming! The season is just around the corner. - Magical Mentoring 1:1 calls begin. Mentees that opted into either 1:1 this session or chose additional calls to Group Mentoring and I have 75 minutes together in the next 4 days to sift, sort, and empower their growth and healing. These calls are deep and require a lot of energy AND they're always such a gift that takes us on a magical mystery tour that helps in ways we didn't know possible or accessible. Friday, May 16th: - Day 1 of Stable Legs - You'll need a set of yoga blocks for this workout. We start with shoulder smudges, hip wipers, hip presses, modified hundreds, mermaid crunches, classical spine stretch series, crab walks and reaches, push ups on blocks, block presses (for the hamstrings), X stretch and block squeezes. Your lower body will be so happy after this video! - Aphrodite's Day. It's time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Make the effort today to release, relax, indulge, heal, shine, glow, thrive, or rest. Saturday, May 17th: - Mercury Conjunct Neptune. Wild card day! Mercury and Neptune share the same spot in the sky today , but this energy can and will be felt up to 5 days prior and post. They squish past each other in a tight corridor and it could be a blessing or a lesson. Themes will center around thinking and or talking about spiritual themes. Mercury the great communicator wants to chat it up about the higher octaves of the watery expanse of Neptune. Dreams vs. delusions and what really matters; spirit, soul, healing. Tarot and astrology tools will serve you well this week or may simply take up more attention, space, or curiosity. Sunday, May 18th: - Jupiter Square the North Node (in Pisces). This is an interesting one. We don't usually talk about squares (they create tension) but it's Jupiter who expands things and often brings a gift with it. Jupiter will literally square off with the North Node in Pisces. It will offer us tension in terms of how we're moving forward with our healing, spirituality, and psychic gifts. If it feels like a lesson, lean in. If it's crunchy, the square is the tension of the pull back on a bow and arrow - it preps for flight and forward motion but will first take you back in order to prepare for forward momentum. It's Pisces, so mind your feelings, meaning pay attention. They aren't all facts but they are valid data points. Take note of the data that rolls through with this week and next. What are you thinking about your dreams, and spiritual connections? There is growth here and maybe a little karmic work. Past life healing, anyone? - North Node (in Pisces) semi-sextile Chiron. This aspect offers us more guidance to be mindful of your feelings and your vessel. A semi sextile is always some good flow, however it's Pisces which is the ocean of emotion, every kind of sensitivity you can name, and Chiron the wounded healer. Crying is on deck. The sads may be present. AND, it's healing and will move us forward. Hydrate yourself. Stay away from whatever our body registers as a toxin (keep your food clean and alkalize thyself!). And potentially make some space and have some grace on deck for yourself this week and next. It could be soft and tender or raw. It's ok. It'll pass but please prepare and learn something from it if you can. - Your weekly mantra: My emotions are vital and sacred...but they are not always or forever facts. I learn more deeply every day, to stay curious with where they are coming from and how I can allow them to shift or release, for healing, strength, and expansion.

Narrator: Thomas Jones

Today's episode walks you through this week's astrology + practical and magical tactics to help you harness and navigate the energetics May 5th - 11th 2025. Last week was full of goodies...with heat. Did you do the things to help cool you down? Did you hydrate? Drink peppermint tea? Eat green or white foods? Did you make time alone sacred? Last week did you: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs? Listen to 2 NEW episodes on The Magic Spark? Cast a spell for your career or money by EOD Wednesday? This week is an interesting swim as we head towards a full moon next Monday. Use the space to ground. It will serve illumination next week. This week: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs Listen to 2 NEW episode on The Magic Spark Watch your Full Moon Tarot Reading on UWS Monday, May 5th: - Happy Mo(o)nday. Pluto just stationed retrograde yesterday so we're juuuust beginning to feel this shift. And though Pluto is our farthest known planet, this community will feel the pull. Subtle as it may be, it seeks cathartic change. It bears repeating that Pluto is god of the Underworld and asks for shadow work. It will call us to process our thoughts and feelings from deep unconscious places. It's quite a week for a full moon in Scorpio...since Pluto rules Scorpio...Scorpio is the underworld. There is important healing here. What are you willing to let die within you for your next rebirth? Think May - October 2025. Pluto's retrograde is in Aquarius asks for the non conventional path that puts emotions aside and says "What will move me/us into the future? I have no emotional attachment to the solve...but I am deeply attached to solving." You might just ask these direct questions of the Tarot. Pull two cards. Let them lead you. This healing is soft and subtle but has incredible depth. The small shift this week adjusts our elemental count in the cosmos and it's a helpful thing. Here's the breakdown of where the primary celestial bodies are sitting this week: Earth - 2 Fire - 4 (3 of which are in Aries. This takes down some of the heat! But it's still high territory for anger and frustration, impatience, burnout, or an increase in creativity and fuel to begin or continue). Water - 1 (+ the North Node. Both in Pisces). Air - 2 (holding at the same place). The shift is subtle this week but helpful with Mercury finally scooting out of Aries. Grounding is far more accessible but still needed because the fire is high and the water is intense with our North Node in Pisces. Stick to your practices. They will serve you in 2025 like never before. This week is more calm by 2025 standards, so again, utilize it and give gratitude for it as it aims to heal, uplift, strengthen, and boost our wisdom. Tuesday, May 6th: - Watch our Full Moon Tarot Reading. Something will be revealed and will have you approaching something very differently, because you understand more. It's a delightful reading for this cycle. Don't skip it. find it in the monthly meditation and tarot reading section of your Unicorn Wellness Studio member library. - Watch Zodiac Basics: Scorpio if you're seeking more understanding for next week's full moon in Scorpio. You'll find it in the astrology section of your Unicorn Wellness Studio member library. Wednesday, May 7th: -EP 133 on The Magic Spark This audio is from an offering created for Magical Mentees in 2024. This is a question expansion about the multiple levels of the Mother Wound. This is an offering for support and healing as in U.S. this weekend we experience Mother's Day and it isn't Hallmark perfection for many. We all come from a womb, therefore this is for everyone. - Day 1 of Stable Foundation - No props needed for this movement series! We start on all fours for stability and core focus. This whole video is core heavy so enjoy the signature magic of Pilates. We've got peaks to planks, classical series of five, plus mermaid crunches, side leg series and spinal articulation. We're detoxing energetics and priming our manifestation capacity through our solar plexus energetic center. Thursday, May 8th: - Unicorn Wellness Studio Member Private Community It's been a little quiet over here lately. But fair is fair, I'm your host and I've been a little inconsistent on the dailies. But I am there and I would love to hear how your practices and energy are going. Community is the literal heartbeat of everything here. I love you and miss you. Click directly through from your member library or use the Kajabi Communities app on iOS or Android. Friday, May 9th: - Full Moon Energy Begins. Our micro full moon in Scorpio energy begins today. Based on our community reading she's a pretty one, offering more softness than you'd expect. The energy builds like a dimmer switch today through May 15th. It will either fuel you to finish up, launch, or complete something or...it'll drain you with its high frequency. As always, listen to your vessel. - Aphrodite's Day. It's time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Make the effort today to release, relax, indulge, heal, shine, glow, thrive, or rest. Goddess Bath is always top of my list. Saturday, May 10th: - Day 1 of Stable Full Moon #1 - You'll need a set of yoga blocks for this workout. This is our first of two full moon workouts. They push us past our comfort zone in order for growth. We use one of my favorite 'tricks' of placing a yoga block between the inner thighs to activate them and the pelvic floor plus release the low back. It's a huge low back healer that helps the helper muscles kick on. We've got kneeling hundreds, gallbladder meridian stretch, dead bug reverse plank, camel, mountain climbers, triangle, and serving. This video is so fun! - Mercury Moves into Taurus. Mercury is finally out of Aires. Welcome grounded, problem solving communications. Taurus' stubborn quality can be so gorgeous of knowing where the line of integrity is and knowing when not to abandon ourselves, goals, or principals. Lean into this one. Sunday, May 11th: - Your weekly mantra: I trust the unconscious. I have faith in the unseen. I pray to the goddesses. I prescribe to my higher self. I am in co-creatorship with my benevolent ancestors. I invoke all my good karma. I allow deeper understanding for healing, growth, expansion, and rebirth. I am willing to be bolstered, healed, empowered, confident, and strong. I am willing to be the highest unfoldment of my soul in this lifetime. Now.

Today's episode walks you through this week's astrology + practical and magical tactics to help you harness and navigate the energetics April 28th - May 4th 2025. Last week was a quiet mixed bag. It asked for calm, grounding and spiritual hygiene...while it had free reign to serve up simple pleasures or call outs. Did you prioritize your self care? Last week did you: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs Listen to 1 NEW episode on The Magic Spark Watch the New Moon Tarot Reading in the UWS member Library This week is full of goodies...with heat. This week: Get on the mat 2 - 4xs Listen to 2 NEW episode on The Magic Spark Cast a spell for your career or money by EOD Wednesday Monday, April 28th: - Happy Mo(o)nday. All planets are direct this week till Sunday. Please, my loves, make it count. It won't happen again this year. This is our last 'all direct' moment. Whatever to-do list you have (without freaking out and overly stressing) get as much done as you can. Within this window of the New Moon in Taurus it is massively to the benefit of your resources (time, money, energy, body, mind, and soul) to do so. This week our elemental count shifts. The Fire of it all bumps up to 5, with a whopping 4 in Aries. Tempers could flare or your personal fire could finally blaze and have your heart, energy, and creativity coming back online! Venus is also doing a lot this week, so continue to give her focus on your altar and in your Energy Healings (tapping & shaking). We want her blessing us, not pressing us. - Day 1 of Stable New Moon #2 -You'll need a yoga strap and a set of yoga blocks for this constructive rest series. We're still in constructive rest under this new moon. Mobility and flexibility is the vibe. You'll see a focus on shoulders (new stressors in your life), spinal rotations for detox, psoas openers (emotional storage units of the body), and A juicy constructive rest to close. Tuesday, April 29th: - Watch Zodiac Basics: Taurus if you're craving a deeper dive into Taurus energies. Tis the season. It's the moon, the season, and we all have it in our chart somewhere. You'll find it in the astrology section of your Unicorn Wellness Studio member library. Wednesday, April 30th: -EP 131 on The Magic Spark Uranus is doing something of note this week and the Uranian energy will become more distinct as we move towards August. It's a big energy, it's disruptive, and can be magical. So I'm sharing a piece of content I created for Magical Mentees in the fall session. You're going to want to explore this. And it just might take a couple of listens to prep for the amplification of Uranian energy in August. It's a mini master class. - Last day of New Moon Energy. Continue to lean into the quiet of it all. Rest, replenish, cast a spell because what you plant in a Taurus new moon has got roots to provide for the long haul. It's especially good for career and money magick. - Venus enters Aries. We like her here. We do. She's blunt and quick and ok to burn something down to get to what she really desires. There's no mincing words in this phase. There is clarity and no b.s. It may feel like somehow if you're not used to receiving a fem vibe with clear boundaries and no room for negotiations. Thursday, May 1st: - Uranus Sextile True Node. A sextile in astrology is always considered a benefit. This collective transit offers us lessons that have us breaking up with tradition in any and all ways. Think internalized patriarchy be gone, binaries AWAY! Proper path, boxes, and 'right ways' to do things are banished and simply will no longer work. - Day 1 of Stable Classic - No props needed for this workout. We're brewing magic in our pelvic bowl with sufi rolls, full deep core, corkscrew, reverse plank, side plank...strength and stability training...swan, rolling plank, and puppy. This is a well crafted tiny & mighty series. Friday, May 2nd: - Venus conjunct Neptune. This one is going to call in themes of romantic relationships. Either a rebirth of romanticism, a new love of some kind, or an obsession with the love you don't currently have access to. We simply have to witness how it plays out and work with what roles through...but please remember Venus is not just amorous love, it's finances and general pleasure, and Neptune is dreams and delusions. This could be work or finance related. - Aphrodite's Day. It's time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Take the rest. Eat the chocolate. Put your hand on your heart, breathe deeply, wear red lipstick. Demand attention from yourself. Light yourself on fire today. Saturday, May 3rd: Breathe, meditate, drink water, eat vegetables, get on the mat. Sunday, May 4th: - Pluto stations Retrograde. This little guy was all the topic not so long ago. Pluto finally moved into Aquarius after being in Capricorn 16 years. Pluto will station today and be retrograde through October 13th. This will pull us all in again in terms of cathartic change. Emotionally it might feel like it in its capacity to affect positive change/growth. "What will move me/us into the future? I have no emotional attachment to the solve...but I am deeply attached to solving." - Day 1 of Stable Building Blocks - You'll need a set of yoga blocks (cork preferred) for this workout. We're back to giving attention to shoulder health and stability (new daily stressors), classical pilates mat with a splash of weird. - Your weekly mantra: Venus, Venus, Aphrodite, goddess of love and finances I clear a place for you at the table. In fact I clear the entire table for you. The table is yours. It belongs to you. Eat and serve My appetite is big and I am ready to feed. Venus, Venus, Aphrodite, goddess of love and finances I AM OPEN TO RECEIVE.

Hey Fearless Friends - Send me a text and let me know what you are fearlessly facing as you age. You might get a shoutout on the show.And the F WORD IS: FATIGUEFearlessly Facing our sleep as we age. Sleep is a fundamental component of our health that dramatically impacts longevity, cognitive function and disease risk.As the "Sleep Goddess," Dr. Matsumura brings her double-board certification and deep expertise to explain why sleep is particularly challenging for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. The hormonal roller coaster of this life stage directly impacts how melatonin functions in our brains, creating the perfect storm for sleep disturbances that many women mistakenly accept as an inevitable part of aging. She is a sought-after expert on women and sleep. She is the founder and CEO of Sleep Goddess MD offering individual consultations, public speaking, and workshops for practitioners. She also offers business consulting to improve team health and productivity for better sleep.In this episode you will discover:• Women who don't get enough sleep have up to 69% higher risk for cancer compared to men• Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause significantly impact sleep quality through melatonin disruption• Sleep archetypes are determined by our genetic "clock genes" - Artemis (early birds), Aphrodite (night owls), and Athena (societal norm)• The DREAM formula addresses Daytime activities, Resting environment, Emotions, Archetype, and Medical conditions• Nine out of ten women who are postmenopausal don't know they have sleep apnea because symptoms present differently than in men• Going to bed and waking at consistent times trains your brain for better sleep• Electronic devices should be turned off at least one hour before bedtime• Commercial melatonin supplements are sold in doses millions of times higher than what our bodies naturally produce• Quality sleep requires proper preparation - create an optimal sleep environment that's dark, cool and quiet• Napping should complement good nighttime sleep, not compensate for poor sleep habitsVisit www.sleepgoddessmd.com to take Dr. Matsumura's quiz and discover your sleep archetype.Ready to FEARLESSLY FACE all the F WORDS – be inspired and encouraged?
