The “womb path” is one of deep transformation. The “womb mysteries” anchor in growth through embracing what is called “womb wisdom” - or inner knowing. In this embodied state, we access self-trust, discernment and personal power. Here, in essence, we mother ourselves and co-create with The Great Mother.   My guest Lauren Megan @iamlaurenmegan is a body-based trauma specialist, womb alchemist, embodiment mentor, priestess, healer, conscious mother, and teacher. She guides & mentors women on the path of womb-led business, energetics, and pleasure. Her mission is to help women heal, unravel and decondition from the beliefs and generational traumas that keep them from speaking their truth, owning their purpose and receiving the endless amounts of bliss they deserve.   In this episode I also share my sacred womb healing experience at Chalice Well in Glastonbury in 2021 after experiencing multiple traumas to my second chakra throughout my lifetime.   Birth as initiation into the path of the womb & The Great Mother  Embracing womb wisdom & power for biz growth, personal development, and healing relationships What are “womb codes” and how do they impact creation? The fascinating connection between yoni, voice, and speaking one's truth Allowing the natural alchemization & healing of generational trauma - especially on your MATERNAL LINE   Find Lauren's work: www.laurenmegan.com Grab my (Cherie's) FREE Mini-Training -“The New Feminine Leadership Paradigm”- at www.cherieburton.com

Her long-held dream of sharing a vision of beauty, harmony, peace, and wisdom through creative, mystical writing began to blossom into reality when she won a competition for her first self-published collection of poetry and reflections, followed by descriptive prose showcased in Kindred Spirit Magazine and poems published in various editions of Touchstone.  A passionate interest in personal and spiritual growth spanning many years has inspired Iona's exploration of Eastern and Western spiritual philosophies and practices, the idea of a language of angels, as a stream of inspiration, creative wisdom, and beauty, flowing through everything, the energies of sacred sites both at home and abroad, and labyrinth walking. After meditating with Tibetan Buddhists in London, then studying mindfulness with Samye Ling Wales and the Mindfulness Association, Iona finally found her spiritual home with the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids. She is also a Companion of Chalice Well, supporting the Trust's ethos of "Many Paths One Source."  Exploring growth and change through her creativity, Iona's path of art and soul is inspired by angels, wisdom, nature, land, and legend, living by the sea on the south coast of magical Wales.

Whether it's the Chalice Well that accidentally became a part of the Brobdingnagian Bards logo or my very first Renaissance festival, Excalibur Fantasy Faire. I love stories about life during the time of Camelot. So I guess it wasn't much of a surprise that I fell in love with Loreena McKennitt's song “Lady of Shalott” 30 years ago. Her song was written based on a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. I have my own connection to it too which I'll tell you more about in a bit. But first, I'm extremely pleased to have Loreena McKennitt share her story about how and why “The Lady of Shalott” also became a song. In September, she re-released a 30th anniversary edition of her 1991 album The Visit. The album has sold more than two million copies. It features all of the original songs remastered, plus, a bunch of live performances, alternate mixes, and even some interviews she's done about the album. 8:11 - “The Lady Of Shalott Live Trio - October 28, 2016 Gaillard Centre” by Loreena McKennitt from The Visit - The Definitive Edition You can find out more about Loreena McKennitt at https://loreenamckennitt.com/. You'll also find her all over streaming. This story was released along with other stories as promo for The Visit, The Definitive Edition. So you can find out more about the songs from that album. I gotta say I love her description of this song. I feel like she beautifully captured the imagery of the pastoral English countryside. In the fall of 2019, McKennitt put her career on hold to place more time and attention on civic matters and climate change, while also advocating for stronger legislation to protect artists' rights and encouraging people to buy their music directly from the artist whenever possible. That's fantastic. We need more people to work on the Climate Renaissance. 16:20 - SUPPORT WHAT YOU LOVE The musicians on this podcast are happy to share their music freely with you. You can find their music on streaming music sites. But streaming is a way to sample the music. If you hear something you love, these artists need your support.

That was because of a TV mini-series called Anne of Green Gables. The show was based on the books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. There's a wonderful scene in the series where Anne Shirley and some friends reenact the story of “The Lady of Shalott” using a boat. Anne is lying in the boat with flowers across her chest. Her friends push her out onto the river as she recites the poem. The boat slowly glides downstream before it springs a leak. She sits up and tries her best to scoop water out of the sinking boat. Eventually, she is rescued at a bridge by her love interest, the dashing Gilbert Blythe. My mom introduced me to the VHS of the mini-series during my senior year of high school. I don't know why the show resonated so much with me. Maybe it had a lot to do with the beautiful imagery of Prince Edward Island and the wild imagination and creativity of “that Anne-Girl.” It still delights me to this day, though I haven't seen the show in probably a decade. In college, I read all of Montgomery's books and even devoured a book of poetry by her. I remember one poem resonated a LOT at the time. But I can't for the life of me remember what it was. By 2004, Anne of Green Gables was sort of a comfort show for me. I used to watch shows on repeat while I worked. This one regularly made it into rotation for me. One evening I was watching it. I paused the show and picked up the autoharp. I wrote a tribute to dreamers like Anne. The song was sadly short-lived at shows. But I eventually recorded it for my CD, A Tribute to Love. 20:49 - “Here's to the Dreamers” by Marc Gunn from A Tribute to Love 23:02 - One final question: What song would you like to hear more about?

I just returned from two glorious (and difficult!) weeks in Glastonbury, England - following the “red thread” on a mystical, yet historically-focused journey to Chalice Well.  In this episode, I discuss Mary Magdalene's (and Christ's) connection to ancient Europe as well as insights on the archetypal modern-day priestess. *Significance of the “red” and “white”; humanness & divinity *Five aspects of a Priestess  *The power of myths, legends & archetypes in self-actualization & transformation

Join anchor host and spiritual educator Deb Bowen this week.  We discuss the meaning of symbols and signs in our lives, and how they impact our beliefs.  Why do we believe what we believe? What cultural, spiritual, and personal events and people influence our beliefs? How have they changed - or not - over time? What do you see as the reason for beliefs? The list of questions - and answers - is endless!

Judy talks about a Korean shamanic Water blessing at the Russian River and her experience years ago at the Chalice Well at the Glastonbury Tor in England.

Heads up: before you get excited - or confused - I did NOT go to Glastonbury Festival, the massive music festival was not on this year. My plans instead were to visit Glastonbury, the town, in rural Somerset UK. Reasons? Well, I'd heard on multiple occasions about how great the town is for just tourism - it's quirky, a bit like the place I live in Brighton, and it has some really old things to look at - really old. Plus, some pretty amazing myths and legends to go along with them. Glatsonbury isn't super accessible by train so I wasn't in a hurry to do this one solo. Fortunately, I have two very dear friends who were willing to come, and let me hitch a ride. So we set off, Brighton to Glastonbury. I wouldn't normally share much about the journey, but this one was special: we saw donkeys on the roadside! A lot of them! And they were super friendly and let us pet them. This isn't typical in the UK, but we were driving through the New Forest, which has wild horses, ponies and donkeys - and they're all there for your roadside entertainment. Pretty neat. We rocked up at our Airbnb, which is possibly the quirkiest one I have EVER stayed in. One of the best things about it is where it's situated: right next to the entrance to the path that leads to the Tor: a very, very old tower that sits on a hill overlooking Glastonbury. We headed up there just in time for sunset and it was glorious. There were some other people there too who had the right idea, but just a small number - enough to appreciate the company and feel connected to them somehow. Not like your typical tourist site, I'll admit. There was someone drumming quietly, someone charging their wand and someone casting an actual spell. Yeah. That really happens.     The next morning, we went on a tour with a nice old Irish man, John. He took us up 3 hills: Brides Mound, Wearyall Hill and the Tor, again. I enjoyed learning about the local legends, and have since decided to take more interest in Celtic mythology. Then we had lunch, at Excalibur - a very health savvy serve-yourself place. Amazing actually, great raw cakes too. Then we went around the amazing shops - literally, heaven. A whole shop for essential oils and smelly stuff, esoteric book shops, hippy clothing and all the crystals. We bought some bits for dinner. The truth is, Glastonbury is still a small town and after a while you realise your options for fine dining are limited. But that's OK, it was nice to make the most of the Airbnb for a change. Then we went off to our evening entertainment: a healing session with the Pleiadians, a group of aliens channeled by an attractive nordic man, Michiel Kroon. He also channeled Archangel Michael, I guess they have the name in common. We sat in a circle, and I felt comfortable and welcomed, I loved that we were encouraged to make the most of the essential oils and palo santo that sat in the centre of the circle. I mentioned it in previous podcasts like the time I went to Peru and the breathwork experience, but as an introvert: feeling welcomed, comfortable and well looked after in a group environment is so, so key to my enjoyment. Good facilitation in groups is NOT easy to come by, so I really appreciate it when it's done well. But the messages themselves from the apparently channeled entities were, in my opinion, distinctly average. I didn't get much… though my imagination was slightly sharper than usual. And I did feel very open hearted and able to do 'the thing' of breathing love in and out, which I haven't experienced before. So that was nice. We picked an oracle card at the end, from a deck Michiel and his girlfriend designed. Mine had two beings on it: a man and a woman, Ether + Matter. The idea was all about integration, which you might know I'm obsessed with, especially when it comes to this woo woo stuff, or any life-coaching stuff. I love theory, but I love action more, and belive integration is the bridge between the theory and action. So I guess that was a nice little moment of synchronicity. Headed back, very sleepy.     Next day, we went out for breakfast - a vegan fry up. It's interesting hanging out with two vegans for the weekend - it almost makes me think I could do it too... Almost. Then we went to Chalice Well, a truly gorgeous place. Very peaceful. Then shopping! To balance out all the spiritual stuff, I guess. I bought a mood ring and a keyring in Chalice Well, a wallet, some incense, essential oil and palo santo. Can't go wrong with smelly stuff. Oh and a book about yoga journalling. Then we went to the Abbey, which is OK. We laughed a lot at the egg stone, and meditated for 5 minutes. Very good vibes. I remembered how much I enjoy travelling WITH people. It slows me down, and helps me appreciate where I'm at. When travelling solo, I have this tendency to rush through everything - may be because on some level I feel a bit awkward? But with friends, you can really acknowledge the experience, and see things you otherwise wouldn't have noticed. Then we went to a centre that had some relation to the Maitreya - allegedly the second coming of Buddha AND Jesus. Mmhmm. The healing protocol was to sit in a comfy chair, underneath a pyramid shape with crystals strapped on and crystals in your hand and headphones on listening to the Maitreya's puja. Sounds bonkers. I know. And trust me, I did not expect ANYTHING. But… Almost as soon as I sat back, I literally felt like I was being charged. Like, I could actually feel it. I convinced myself there was a mild electrical current running through me via the crystals - my friends afterwards told me that was not possible. Regardless of what was going on, it felt… heavenly. I've since done a fair bit of research and unfortunately the guy who runs it - Buddha Maitreya the Christ - or... Ron Spencer - and you'll find buried amongst the bullshit, some reports that suggest he is indeed a dodgy cult leader who will take your money, has been known to take advantage of his followers sexually and probably isn't mates with the Dalai Llama. As for pyramid power - this too is unlikely to heal you, or make razor blades sharp again... but, I must say I think it's a great idea to have a place like that in a busy shopping area set up so people can come, sit back and relax for a change. And it's free, so it really isn't a bad thing. I'd like to see more places like that, like introverted little hubs in busy public areas. But y'no, without the cult stuff. We headed back for dinner and went to our final dip into the esoteric: a goddess circle. Featuring the goddess Freyja and the Völva, which is some kind of Norse shaman. I don't know if the lady who gave the workshop or whatever you want to call it was a 'Völva' herself... or just a pleasant lady who had a nice voice and a wild imagination. Regardless, I did not like this. Mostly because the facilitation was terrible and I just didn't get anything from the guided aspect. It was unhelpful - and I went away with little other than a vague interest in learning more about the legends of Freyja but not exactly happy with the method of delivery. I don't know what to take from the experiences this weekend, but I do know a lot of it comes back to being true to myself and pursuing my desires with boldness and sheer trust. Did I get that from the Archangel Michael, the Pleidians, someone claiming to be the Buddha reincarnated or a Norse goddess? OR did I get it from really great chats with some of my favourite people, in a beautiful part of the world? WHO KNOWS. Fun rating: 9.5/10

Hi Marc, I've been meaning to email you for awhile now, but have been remiss in getting it out. It's actually my birthday today and the latest Irish & Celtic Music podcast was a great present! My son is also performing tonight, as he plays Viola in the 7th grade orchestra at his middle school. Just a couple of weeks ago we both we're in recital at our local Suzuki school (my piece was Loch Lommond). Sorry I'm rambling here, but just want to say how great the podcast continues to be and thank you for all the work you put into it. I usually listen while I'm walking and here are a couple of pictures of springtime in East Tennessee. Thanks again for you do on the podcast. Slainte! Hank Woodward Hey Marc, thanks for enriching my life with your wonderful podcast. I’m a 27-year-old violinist in Melbourne, Australia. I’m battling chronic illness which means I can’t move far from bed lately, so it’s wonderful to have such dependably brilliant music to soothe me, lift my spirits and help keep me warm as our winter sets in! Thanks Carl This Week in Celtic Music 0:32 "Craig's Pipes/The Mountain Road/The Gravel Walk" by Leaping Lulu from Celtic Night Live 5:21 "The Cavan Reel/Up Against the Boughalauns/The Dublin Lasses" by We Banjo 3 from Roots of the Banjo Tree 7:57 "Beaches of St. Valery" by 3 Pints Gone from The Beaches of St. Valery 14:01 "Little Johnny's Run" by Ron Cody from The Talking Rake 17:38 "Bonnie Portmore/Elinini" by Rowan from Tales Through Time 21:32 CELTIC MUSIC NEWS 22:35 "Outer Hebrides" by Willie McCulloch from Auld Tales & New 24:49 "Raised on Black and Tans" by Gaelic Storm from Cabbage 28:11 "Fairy Tale" by Ginger Ackley from Elf King's Horn 30:50 "Katie Rose" by Mason Brown from I Am a Handsome Devil 33:10 "Boys of Malin St" by Ceol Gan Achar by Ceol Gan Achar 39:50 CELTIC FEEDBACK 41:05 "The Midnight Ship" by Old Man Flanagan's Ghost from Sociable 44:40 "Union of Drunken Upstarts" by Amadan from Hell-Bent Victory 47:31 "See You Then" by John Byrne Band from After the Wake 52:50 "You Can't Eat the Scenery" by A Band of Rogues from A Band of Rogues 58:34 "Aftermath" by Saor Patrol from Outlander VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20.

Special guest, Samarah Riely, is a channel for Mother Mary and many other light beings. She will offer Mother Mary's words of wisdom and inspiration for the upcoming year and will show us new pathways to peace, love, prosperity and light, along with a call-to-action on how to fix the ills of the world. You don't want to miss this incredible opportunity to bathe in the Blessed Mother's light and love. It is truly an enlightening experience. For the last fifteen years, Samarah has been channeling the loving wisdom of the Divine Mother Mary and other Masters from the Realms of Light. She has traveled internationally as an ordained Madonna Minister, channeling Mother Mary at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, amidst the trees and green of Scotland’s Findhorn and at gatherings large and small from Maine to California. Everywhere she goes this wisdom from Mother Mary and the Masters brings comfort and perspective from the Sacred Realms to illuminate and enrich our own human journey. Join Mary Elizabeth and Janis Yakopovic for this fascinating adventure.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer Hadley broadcasts live from Glastonbury, England—this is a critical time for lightworkers around the Globe. We’re all being strongly PUSHED to wake up and choose the atonement TODAY without delay! Are you feeling it? Jennifer gives her live report and real HELP for you now—broadcasting live from the Daisy Centre in Glastonbury.  Glastonbury, England, is known for its connection to King Arthur, the Holy Grail, the Chalice Well, and much more. For those of you who study the energy of the earth and the ley lines, it’s on the same ley line as Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral. Glastonbury is the final stop on Jennifer’s European teaching tour and quite probably part of a Sacred Journey Tour with students in 2013.  Join Jennifer as she shares her experience of truly living A Course in Miracles in her travels, sharing with European students. Now is the time of our awakening. Help from the invisible is available NOW and you must ALLOW it to accept it fully. 

Come have a listen as I talk about whatever comes to mind about the trip and why I went to Glastonbury, England, (unplanned).  Call in and chat or ask a question if you like.

The Sistine Madonnaby RaphaelIn many ways, Julene traveled a traditional path through Mormonism as she raised her children, but when her oldest son decided to be done with the church rather than depart on a mission as she was expecting, she began a journey that lead her toward a world of thought filled with the Divine Feminine.From the roots given to her subtly by her mother, Julene built further with the Christ-centered philosophy of anthroposophy created by Rudolf Steiner, as she moved toward re-enthroning Sophia in her spiritual life and seeking for a true balance between the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine.
