Over 3,000 stones rise from the fields of Carnac. They stand silent, waiting, like the trees of Fangorn Forest, patient and alive beneath their stillness. In this episode of Quest & Chorus, we walk among ancient alignments, uncover old legends, and listen to what endures. Featuring music from The Irish Lassies, Dublin Gulch, and Brobdingnagian Bards. This is Quest & Chorus #310 0:27 - The Irish Lassies "Hammer Up Whisky Down" from Immigration Stories 5:20 - WELCOME TO QUEST & CHORUS Welcome to Quest & Chorus, where ancient stones still speak and songs remember what trees never forget.

In the meantime, it's time for the… QUEST & CHORUS of ALIGNMENTS OF CARNAC Over 3,000 standing stones stretch in careful lines through the fields of Carnac. No one knows exactly why they're here. Were they a celestial map? Some say they mark burial grounds. But walking by them, I didn't feel like I was in a graveyard. I felt like I was among the elders. It reminded me of Fangorn Forest, home of the Ents. In The Lord of the Rings, Fangorn is a place where time moves slowly. Trees remember battles that men have forgotten. Carnac is a lot like that. The stones are not dead. They're just waiting. I can't help but wonder who placed them here, so careful and deliberate. The stones of Carnac weren't raised by elves or Ents, but by real people. Neolithic builders, thousands of years before written history. Here's what we know about them. HISTORY OF THE ALIGNMENTS OF CARNAC The Alignments of Carnac in Brittany, France, are one of the most remarkable prehistoric monuments in Europe. They consist of long rows of standing stones (menhirs) and other megalithic features that stretch across the landscape. Archaeological studies show that many of the stones date from between about 4,800 and 3,500 BC — some recent research suggests parts were erected as early as 4,600 BC. The site is not a single line but a complex of alignments: four major groups (for example, Ménec, Kermario, Kerlescan, Petit Ménec) that lie in the commune of Carnac and its surroundings. Originally, these stones were erected by Neolithic peoples who lived in what we now call Brittany. Their purpose remains a subject of debate: some propose they were ritual or ceremonial, others suggest funerary meaning, or perhaps linked to astronomical patterns or seasonal calendars. Over the millennia, many stones were removed, toppled, or reused in local buildings, especially in historic times. The word "alignments" refers to the visible rows of standing stones that still remain. Today, the Alignments of Carnac are protected as important heritage sites. Research continues to refine their dating and function, and the monuments remain a remarkable testimony to the ambition and organisation of prehistoric communities. References: Musee de Prehistoire:The Carnac Alignments Göteborgs universite: Menhirs of Carnac Alignments of Carnac Wikipedia Carnac Tourism: The World Famous Standing Stones Internet Sacred Text Archive: Menhirs and Dolmens LEGENDS & MYTHS OF CARNAC There are actual legends connected to the Carnac stones. One of the most widely told involves Saint Cornély. According to Breton tradition, Cornély was being pursued by soldiers. He and his oxen fled, and the stones of Carnac are said to be the soldiers turned to stone as a result of divine intervention. Another version says the stones were dancing at midnight on Christmas Eve, and people who saw them would be crushed beneath as the stones marched to the sea. While these legends don't claim to explain the actual Neolithic origins of the stones, they illustrate how later generations understood and imagined the dramatic rows of stones in their landscape. MY THOUGHTS on CARNAC Your walk through Carnac: Describe how it feels to be watched by stone that might remember more than you do. PLUS Environmental reflection: These monuments lasted thousands of years. What are we building that will last that long? "Heart of Fangorn" as a prayer for the planet: This song speaks for trees, for roots, for voices we ignore in our haste. In Fangorn, the Ents stand watch over the woods. At Carnac, the menhirs stand silent on the moor. If they could speak, what would their witness be? The Ents of Fangorn resist change; the stones of Carnac endure it. When do you find yourself standing still while everything else moves? 27:48 - Brobdingnagian Bards "Heart of Fangorn" from Memories of Middle Earth Get the "They Come In Pints" album pin to own Memories of Middle Earth and enter the forest Listen to the song recorded live at Dragon Con 2024 in a Bootleg Concert from our Podcast. You can also hear the song on a past Bards podcast episode that was recorded right before we flew off on the second Brobdingnagian Tour of Ireland in 2008. HEART OF FANGORN Lyrics and music Marc Gunn Long before men tread Middle-Earth, Before the dwarves and elves gave birth, There sprouted a race for the trees' defense In the heart of Fangorn, there live the Ents. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Patient farmers they tend the woods. Gaurdians of stems and of roots. They hear the arbors' laments and wails From falling axes and tearful trails. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. For Living Creatures all roam the land, But hasty judgements make careless hands. One thoughtless word from a thoughtless king A thousand creatures die beneath the trees. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. The rivers will flow though their course may change. The birds are born and will fly away. Men will come and men will go, But the Ents remain through the melting snow. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Mark it down. Because the stones are not silent. They're just slow to speak. This is the final episode named Quest & Chorus. For that matter, it's also the final episode of Folk Songs & Stories, at least by those names. I ran a poll on Patreon to see what name people liked the most. The most popular name was Pub Songs & Stories. So we're moving back to that name. That said, Quest & Chorus is not gone forever. This is just the beginning. I really liked this special feature and so in some episodes in the future, I hope to include a quest and chorus for you. I also realized that the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, my award-winning flagship program, is a great show. But over the past decade, the podcast has become more and more dominated by instrumental Celtic music. Which is fantastic. I love a great set of tunes as much as the songs. But I feel like the singers and the songwriters lost out a bit. I started playing music because I wanted to be a songwriter. I love all styles of music. I love learning how to write songs. Writing Celtic and folk songs are one of the reasons I continue to create music. So another thing I will be doing with a section of the podcast is to continue to promote the singers, songs, and songwriters that I find whether on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast or wherever. A great example is the interview that I'm sharing next time on the podcast. I interviewed Mikey Mason about his songwriting techniques. The things that inspire him to write a new song and share it each and every week for several years now. I'm trying to write more songs myself, and I will continue to share them over on Patreon but hopefully every month I will have a new song that I can share in this podcast as well.

The sea around Skellig Michael never rests. Waves slam the cliffs like a heartbeat, and mist rises from the rocks like breath from some sleeping giant. Eight miles off the Kerry coast, this jagged island looks less like a piece of earth and more like a fragment of another world. More than a thousand years ago, monks climbed 600 stone steps to live here, chasing silence, prayer, and the edge of heaven. Today, visitors come for the same reason, though they may not know it. Whether you're drawn by faith, history, or a galaxy far, far away, Skellig has a way of making you listen to what the sea remembers. And that's where today's story begins — between exile and return, faith and freedom, stone and surf. Because sometimes, we're all just trying to find our way back to the ocean.

Let's begin the… 13:47 - QUEST & CHORUS of SKELLIG MICHAEL Eight miles off the coast of County Kerry is the island of Skellig Michael. It is a jagged twin-peaked island. Its name comes from the Irish Sceilg Mhichíl which means Michael's Rock. It was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The island's history began in the sixth century. Monks sought isolation and closeness to God. So they settled there because the early Irish monastic tradition valued hardship, solitude, and spiritual testing. The monks carved out a small community on narrow terraces more than 600 steps above sea level. The monastic settlement they built still survives. They built a cluster of beehive stone huts, stone crosses and terraces connected by narrow paths. Everything was dry-stone construction. That means they were fitted together without mortar. They were built so well that they have lasted over a millennium. The monks grew small gardens, caught seabirds and fish, and collected rainwater in cisterns. They survived off of what the island would allow. Skellig Michael was a center of devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel sometime after the 8th century. The island was also a pilgrimage site for centuries. Climbing its steps was seen as a form of penance and spiritual renewal. By the 13th century, life on Skellig Michael had become too difficult. Storms, isolation, and changing Church patterns led the monks to relocate to the mainland, near Ballinskelligs. But the island remained a place of pilgrimage well into the modern era. Skellig Michael is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is recognized for its exceptional preservation of early Christian monastic life and its haunting natural beauty. It's also become familiar to a new generation as Ahch-To, the oceanic world where Luke Skywalker lived in exile in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Even now, Skellig Michael stands as a symbol of endurance, of faith carved into stone, of solitude turned to sanctuary, and of the fragile bridge between human devotion and the raw power of nature. LEGENDS OF SKELLIG MICHAEL One of the more famous legends involves the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Milesian invasion of Ireland. It is recounted in the Lebor Gabála Érenn (the Book of Invasions). According to this myth: As the Milesians sailed toward Ireland around 1400 BC in the mythic narrative, a storm was caused by the Tuatha Dé Danann. They are one of the faerie-like supernatural race in Irish mythology. Skellig's cliffs are sometimes mentioned as one of the treacherous places where ships were driven ashore. One version says Irr, a son of Míl Espáine (the mythic ancestor of the Gaels), was travelling from the Iberian Peninsula. He drowned and was buried on Skellig. MY THOUGHTS on SKELLIG MICHAEL 20:02 - Marc Gunn “Selkie's Life” from Come Adventure With Me Check out my blog of the puffins of Skellig Michael. Selkie's Life, Selkie Call of the Sea #234 Thank you for returning to the sea with me. Skellig Michael is not the end of the story. But it's where stories are kept safe. Next time, we wander the great alignments of Carnac, stones older than myth, standing like trees in time. Until then… If the sea calls you, don't be afraid to answer. 23:39 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

The Quiraing is not a gentle place. Stone spires jut skyward, cliffs crumble toward the sea, and paths twist like they're still being carved by giants. It's a landscape that doesn't promise safety—it dares you to take another step. On Skye, they say even dragons once hid in these folds, rising to defend the island from invaders. And standing here, staring into that mist and stone, you can feel it: adventure isn't slaying dragons. It's choosing to face the one within. Music from Kinnfolk, Ed Miller, and Marc Gunn.

We stand on the edge… of a cliff, of a journey, of ourselves. The Quiraing, on the Isle of Skye, is a land caught between movement and stillness… earth sliding slowly toward the sea. And standing here, staring out over stone teeth and mist-choked valleys, you might ask: Should I go forward? Or turn back?

Stories: 6 mile hike Dressing like a hobbit Playing music with Kelly and Mitch in the Dancing Pony. Providing the atmosphere for Middle-Earth Sunrise over The Shire Singing beneath the stars. Ed Miller has a gift for turning lived experience into song. In “The Wide Rio Grande,” he tells the story of a young Scottish singer facing the sting of rejection at the U.S. border — and how that moment bound him to countless others who've risked everything to cross into a new life. It's a song about displacement and determination, about rules that separate and courage that refuses to be denied. From Houston to Laredo, from Scotland to Mexico, it is both personal and universal — a reminder that behind every border there are human hearts, still daring to cross. 11:19 - Ed Miller “The Wide Rio Grand” from Many's The Fine Tale The Wide Rio Grande Lyrics and music by Brian McNeill Fifteen years gone, the airport in Houston A young Scottish singer stands waiting in line He's been too long apart from the home of his heart It's a young Texas sweetheart so fair and so fine But the man at the desk with his uniform shoulders Gives uniform reasons and a uniform smile Takes more than a song son. The paperwork's wrong son Fly back where you came from just 5000 miles Come all you brave lads who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande London to Mexico, ready to try again Walk through a border that thousands have crossed Join the bold dispossessed of the South and the West For a white boy from Scotland, no irony lost But he knows as he reaches the light in Laredo With the guards looking on and the sun beating down That the hard law and order, the rules on the border Has made him at one with the men who have drowned Come all you brave lads who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande So the next time you walk the wrong side of the border Remember this song as you think on your lot For every man, Jack, who can take the road back Should think on the fortune of those who cannot For Wetback's a name that they whisper in corners But there's one man hear who will wear it with pride For a fence or a wall means nothing at all For a heart full of courage will ne'er be denied Come all you brave lads who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande Compadres and amigos who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande 15:50 - UPCOMING SHOWS OCT 11: The Lost Druid Brewery, Avondale Estates, GA OCT 17-19: MultiVerse, Peachtree City, GA NOV 1: Georgia Renaissance Festival Fall Festival, Fairburn, GA NOV 8: IrishFest Atlanta, Roswell, GA with Inara NOV 14-16: CONjuration, Duluth, GA NOV 22: Georgia Renaissance Festival Fall Festival, Fairburn, GA DEC 6: Georgia Renaissance Festival Fall Festival, Fairburn, GA DEC 7: Nerdy Wonderland at The Lost Druid, Avondale Estates, GA @ 12 - 5 PM.

Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com. Let's begin the… QUEST & CHORUS of QUIRAING, SCOTLAND The Quiraing lies on the northern Trotternish Ridge of Skye. It's part of the largest landslip in Britain — a massive collapse of rock that stretches nearly the length of the peninsula. What makes the Quiraing remarkable is that it's still moving. Every year, the road below must be repaired, because cracks open and the land shifts. The cliffs and pinnacles here are not frozen in time; they are alive, in motion, reshaping themselves even now. Within this landscape are some striking features: The Needle, a tall jagged spike of rock; The Prison, a crag shaped like a fortress; and The Table, a grassy plateau hidden away within the folds of the cliffs. These names reflect how the landscape feels — not just natural, but storied. The word Quiraing comes from Old Norse — Kví Rand — which means “round fold.” It's thought to describe the way the land curves inward, almost like a natural pen or hollow. Local lore says the hollows were once used to hide cattle, especially during Viking raids. The geography itself became a shield, a place of protection. There are stories of dragons living in the Quiraing. However, the dragon stories don't come from ancient Gaelic tradition. They appear more in modern folklore retellings and travel writing — stories told to capture the atmosphere of the landscape. It's easy to see why. The Prison, a huge crag that looks like a fortress, seems like the perfect lair. The Needle rises like a spear ready to strike. The Table, hidden within the fold of the cliffs, feels like a secret clearing where wings could unfurl. One version says the dragons hid in the folds of the Quiraing, guarding the people of Skye from Viking invaders. When longships came over the horizon, the dragons rose from the cliffs themselves — wings beating like thunder, breath as fierce as the Atlantic spray. The Vikings fled, and the people survived. It's not a tale you'll find in the oldest manuscripts.  In a place where the land still moves, where cliffs shift and stones crash down, dragons feel less like fantasy and more like a natural explanation for the Quiraing's wild power. So when you set foot there today, you're not just walking among rocks and landslides. You're stepping into a landscape that invites adventure — where the air feels charged, as if dragons might still be hiding just behind the next ridge, waiting for the moment to rise again. In Middle-earth, places like this are where heroes are tested. This is where Frodo keeps walking. Where Aragorn faces the dead. Where you ask: Am I brave enough to keep going? Talk prompts: Fear is not the enemy—stagnation is. Talk about how fear can be a compass, not a wall. The illusion of safety: The “door” we hide behind may protect us—but it can also trap us. Personal story: Have you ever reached a moment of internal Quiraing? When you had to keep going even if you were shaking? D&D parallel: Every great campaign starts with a hesitant first step. Players choose to walk into darkness. The song's core idea: Adventure is not slaying dragons. It's choosing to face the dragon within. This song came from that moment— That catch in the chest before you say ‘yes.' That step forward that feels like a leap. It's about choosing the road that scares you… Because it also might save you. This is Come Adventure With Me. 29:24 - Marc Gunn “Come Adventure With Me” from Come Adventure With Me Your next clue is locked in the lyrics. What turns you to stone? Listen again. Write it down. Because sometimes, it hardens into walls. And sometimes… you have to break them. Thanks for walking the edge with me today. The Quiraing doesn't give answers.  But it gives perspective. Next time, we dive into a different kind of exile, on Skellig Michael, where legends go to disappear beneath the waves. Until then, wherever you are… Come adventure with me. 33:52 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

This week, we're diving into Entanglement of Rival Wizards, a magical rom-com full of spellcasting, academic rivalry, and just a touch of chaos. Join us as we discuss invisible foxes, best friends who should be lovers, and, more importantly, the romance, aka the spice.  About The Novel: Sebastian Walsh: twenty-four. Grad student at Lesiara University in the Mageus of Evocation program. Human. The first of his family to go to college rather than the military (and it goes over at family get-togethers about as well as you'd think). Elethior Tourael: also twenty-four. Also a grad student, but in the far more inferior Mageus of Conjuration program. Half-elf. The latest in a long line of Touraels to grace the hallowed halls of Lesiara U (what would the world do if the Touraels ran out of rich douches to lead their magical weapons manufacturing empire?). ―and the other finalist for the Mageus Research Grant. Sebastian needs that grant to fund the last few months of research for his degree, after which he'll get a job that actually helps people. He isn't about to let anyone snatch this from him, least of all a snob who doesn't even need the money because his family is loaded thanks to war profiteering. But there's something worse than having a conceited academic nemesis steal grant money from you: you could be forced to work with him. Thio is secretive, broody, and his stunning biceps take up far too much shared lab space―but even as volatile as their partnership is, Sebastian just might find himself falling for his rival―and it could blow up his whole future.

L'historien Jean-Marc Schiappa présente son ouvrage sur Gracchus Babeuf, guillotiné par le Directoire en 1797, dont la « Conjuration des Égaux » fit le premier à s'engager dans une pratique révolutionnaire visant à l'établissement du communisme réel. Le 27 mai 1797, le Directoire faisait guillotiner Gracchus Babeuf après l'échec de la « Conjuration des Égaux » dont il avait pris la tête. Jean-Marc Schiappa, historien, directeur de l'Institution d'études et de recherches sur la libre pensée, est l'invité de Julien Théry pour une biographie de ce révolutionnaire récemment publiée aux éditions Fayard.  Figure la moins bien documentée d'une triade emblématique qui l'unit à Robespierre et à Saint-Just, Babeuf a toujours été une icône, une référence pour les mouvements révolutionnaires. Son action est connue, en particulier, grâce au récit de son compagnon Philippe Buonarotti. C'est après la chute de la Convention montagnarde, dont il n'a pas été un acteur, et l'avènement du régime thermidorien, que Babeuf entre en politique. J.-M. Schiappa montre comment ce clerc de notaire Picard devint le premier communiste en politique, engagé dans une pratique révolutionnaire visant à l'établissement de l'égalité réelle.

In the latest episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe welcome Thomas Pfanner, also known as The Leadership Dad, for a conversation brimming with inspiration and practical wisdom. This episode is all about motivating listeners to achieve greatness, with a strong focus on family, leadership, and personal growth. The show kicks off with the beloved Question of the Week, asking, "What's your favorite holiday?" The heartfelt responses all tie back to family connections. Thomas shares his fondness for Thanksgiving and the joy of family gatherings. Charles highlights the warmth and togetherness of the holiday season in general, while Joe reminisces about the cherished Christmas traditions in his own household. Next, the dice guide the conversation to the "What Are You Nerding Out About?" segment. Charles reveals his excitement for catching Gladiator II early thanks to a Screen Unseen event. Thomas dives into his passion for jiu jitsu, discussing its benefits for both mind and body. Joe shares his thrilling experience at CONjuration, where he connected with like-minded fans of fantasy and magic. The podcast takes a sentimental turn during the "Daddy, Tell Me a Story" segment. Thomas opens up about the beginnings of Dads Who Lead, a program he developed to empower fathers to become the leaders their families need. His story is both moving and motivational, reminding listeners that strong leadership starts at home. Joe then calls an audible by ignoring the dice to segue into the "How Do I...?" segment. Here, the hosts discuss how to become the main character in the story of your life. It's an insightful conversation about taking charge, setting priorities, and leading with intention—one that will leave listeners inspired to take action. A couple of groan-worthy but lovable bad dad jokes from Devocite bring some levity to the episode. Finally, the show ends on the "Parliament of Papas" segment, where the hosts tackle a profound topic: what is stopping you from achieving your goals? From self-doubt to external distractions, the discussion is raw, real, and incredibly relatable. This episode encourages listeners to "Find your FAMdom" by prioritizing family, fandoms, and personal growth. As always, the hosts blend humor, heart, and wisdom in a way that keeps you coming back for more.

In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, hosts Charles, Joe, and Kurt gather to answer the big question of the week: "Which celebrity chef would you most like to fix you Thanksgiving dinner?" Charles brings a twist by choosing Kurt himself to cook his meal, while Kurt dreams of a Thanksgiving feast crafted by BBQ legend Erin Franklin. Joe goes all-in with Iron Chef favorites Bobby Flay or Masaharu Morimoto to bring some culinary flair to the holiday. Afterward, the roll of the dice sets the crew on a nerdy deep-dive. For this week's “What are you Nerding Out About?” segment, the trio can't get enough of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc. Charles is bursting with excitement about hosting his popular game show, Fandom Face-off, at the upcoming CONjuration convention. Joe's been diving into fantasy books, recently finishing Legends & Lattes in preparation for the event and loving every page. He's also created an extensive AutoHotkey script to max out character stats in Final Fantasy VIII—proof that he's embracing his inner tech nerd. Meanwhile, Kurt has been swept up in 3D printing projects, so much so that the others wonder if he might need a 3D-printing intervention! The dice then bring up a round of bad dad jokes courtesy of CaseyJay and Devocite, bringing laughter to the group. Following that, the "Daddy, tell me a story" segment gets personal as Joe recounts the uncertainty he faced arriving at college with only $50 to his name. Kurt shares his experience of hitting rock bottom after both he and his wife lost their jobs, and a listener's comment from RandomKid about job hunting sparks a reflective conversation on the current job market. Then, the "Parliament of Papas" segment unfolds into an enlightening discussion on libraries, with the hosts lamenting how underutilized these valuable resources have become. To wrap up, the “How do I...?” segment leads to an exchange of tips on the best ways to learn a new language, covering apps, online classes, and local resources. Packed with fandom and fatherhood insights, this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy is a true testament to how we each can “Find your FAMdom.” Tune in and join the conversation in Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wise-n-nerdy/support

La conjuration de Catilina, survenue à Rome en 63 av. J.-C., est une tentative de coup d'État orchestrée par Lucius Sergius Catilina, un sénateur romain ambitieux, pour renverser la République romaine. Catilina, qui avait été défait lors des élections pour le consulat, était un personnage controversé, réputé pour son style de vie décadent et ses opinions politiques radicales. Son échec à obtenir le pouvoir par des moyens légaux l'a poussé à envisager des solutions plus extrêmes pour réaliser ses ambitions. Catilina a profité du contexte de troubles économiques et sociaux qui secouaient Rome à cette époque. La République romaine traversait une crise marquée par les inégalités croissantes entre les classes sociales, la corruption généralisée et l'endettement massif de la population. Catilina s'est présenté comme le champion des opprimés et des pauvres, promettant une réforme de la dette et un programme de redistribution des richesses. Il a rallié à sa cause de nombreux vétérans mécontents, des aristocrates déchus et des jeunes hommes ambitieux et endettés. Le plan de Catilina consistait à recruter des complices dans Rome et dans les provinces italiennes pour provoquer un soulèvement armé. En parallèle, il prévoyait d'assassiner certains sénateurs et le consul en fonction, Cicéron, pour affaiblir les institutions de la République et prendre le pouvoir. Cependant, Cicéron, qui occupait la charge de consul cette année-là, a rapidement eu vent de la conspiration grâce à un réseau d'informateurs. Cicéron a exposé publiquement la conspiration dans une série de discours célèbres connus sous le nom de *Catilinaires*, prononcés au Sénat. Il y dénonce Catilina et ses partisans, les accusant de trahison et les qualifiant de menace pour la sécurité de l'État. Face à ces accusations et se voyant démasqué, Catilina quitta Rome pour rejoindre ses troupes en Étrurie, où il espérait déclencher une insurrection militaire. Cependant, son mouvement fut rapidement écrasé par les forces de la République. Le Sénat, dirigé par Cicéron, adopta alors le *senatus consultum ultimum*, un décret conférant des pouvoirs d'urgence aux consuls pour écraser la rébellion. La conjuration se termina par une défaite totale pour Catilina et ses partisans. Après plusieurs batailles, il fut tué avec ses derniers fidèles lors de la bataille de Pistoia en 62 av. J.-C. Cette tentative de coup d'État a marqué l'histoire de Rome, non seulement par sa violence, mais aussi par les débats politiques qu'elle a suscités. Cicéron, qui se considérait comme le sauveur de la République, fut célébré comme un héros, bien que certaines figures politiques, comme Jules César, aient critiqué la dureté des mesures prises contre les conspirateurs.

In this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, hosts Charles, Joe, and Kurt dive into another fun-filled session of geeky dad banter, starting with the question of the week: "What are your fondest theater memories?" Each host shares their love for live performances, with Kurt adding his own personal experiences from his time on stage. It's a nostalgic trip down memory lane that reminds us of the magic of theater. Next up, with a roll of the dice, the podcast launches into the popular "Daddy Tell Me a Story" segment. Charles kicks things off by discussing chemical contaminants in his area, setting the stage for Joe's dramatic tale about Papa Nascar, who had a close call when he was exposed to a chemical spill at a nuclear power plant. If this were a superhero origin story, Papa Nascar would have gotten powers; instead, he nearly didn't make it out alive. After that intense story, the dice lead us to a hilarious break with some bad dad jokes provided by Botched Podcast and Devocite. These laughs set the mood for the next segment, the Council of Dads, where the group dives into a deep discussion about originality, individuality, and what it means to be unique. It's a thoughtful conversation that will resonate with listeners finding their own paths in life. In the "What are you Nerding Out About?" segment, Joe geeks out about his new OBSBOT webcam, praising its functionality. Kurt is thrilled to talk about his new 3D printer and the endless possibilities it brings, while Joe also shares his excitement over the LibbyApp and how he's been making the most of his library card to listen to audiobooks. Charles rounds it off with his enthusiasm for The Rising of the Shield Hero and his anticipation for CONjuration next month. The episode wraps up with some entertaining speakpipes from Devocite, followed by the "How do I?" segment, where the hosts discuss managing expectations for movies and TV shows. As always, the banter is heartfelt and full of wisdom. Find your FAMdom with this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, and remember, it's all about fatherhood, fandom, and fun.

In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe, anthropologist and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. Dr Joffe leads a deep dive into the Western magickal tradition of spirit conjuration, traces their diverse forms through the centuries, and considers the range of beings described, from the land sprites of localised traditions to the high angels of the Enochian system of Renaissance polymath John Dee. Dr Joffe reflects on the origin and changing usage of terms such as “demon” and “devil”, laments the prevalence of dangerously lax invocation practices, considers the cultural impact of the grimoire tradition, compares the systems of demonology found in world religions, and notes striking similarities between Buddhist tantric mystic Padmasambhava and King Solomon. Dr Joffe also shares his own occult experiences including tales of spirit contact, servitor creation, dream visitations from the recently deceased, and ritual workings in several magickal systems. ...

Both have been super instrumental to my music and career over the years.

Le 26 avril 1478, les conjurés mettent enfin leur plan à exécution pendant la messe de Pâques célébrée devant une foule nombreuse à la Cathédrale Santa Maria del Fiore, en présence des frères Médicis. Si Lorenzo échappe à ses agresseurs, Giuliano est sauvagement assassiné par Francesco Pazzi. S'ensuit une véritable traque aux ennemis dans les rues de Florence, transformée en champ de bataille jonché de cadavres. La douleur de Lorenzo est terrible ; et il n'est pas au bout de ses peines... Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Parmi les familles florentines jalouses du pouvoir des Médicis, aucune n'aspire autant à leur déchéance que celle des Pazzi. Secondant les vues du pape Sixte IV (une lettre déchiffrée dans les années 2000 prouve l'immense culpabilité du saint père dans cette histoire), les Pazzi devienne les exécutants indispensables à cette conjuration dont la mise en pratique connaît d'abord quelques rebondissements et difficultés...Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Dans le drame historique de la conjuration des Pazzi visant à détruire la famille Médicis, le pape Sixte IV tient une place à part : jaloux de la puissance de la famille florentine, il joue de l'animosité entre les clans pour se débarrasser de l'ambitieux Lorenzo et de son frère. Toujours en retrait, caution mystérieuse de la conjuration, il oeuvre dans l'ombre et place ses pions, poussé par le machiavélique duc d'Urbino.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Dirigée contre les Médicis qui dominent Florence, la conjuration des Pazzi est sans doute le plus célèbre, le plus machiavélique et le plus sanglant complot de la Renaissance italienne. Pour comprendre les tenants et les aboutissants de cette machination extraordinaire et complexe, il faut d'abord saisir le jeu des alliances qui régit les rapports entre les différents duchés italiens. Saviez-vous que la famille Pazzi n'est, en réalité, sollicitée que tardivement pour mettre à exécution l'assassinat des frères Médicis ? Dans ce premier épisode, remontons le temps et partons à la rencontre des protagonistes oubliés de cette intrigue et plongeons dans les premiers soubresauts de ce drame historique aux incessants rebondissements !Hébergé par Ausha.

We have had a photocopy of a 300 year old magical manuscript in our archives for fifty years and have used it or research, study, rituals, and publications but until we began a serious study of Valentinian Gnosticism we had no idea what secrets were hidden in this Elizabethan era manuscript that we had been using for years. The structure of the Celestial and Terrestrial versions of the Tetragrammaton was set forth in the First Conjuration of the Goetia. Elizabethan magicians were NeoPlatonists and Hermetics. They were partial to Christian Gnosticism and venerated the most high God, honoring Jehovah as the God of the Earth Sphere. I now wonder if Sloane 2731 influenced us to realize the two Tetragrammatons years before we discovered them in the text of the First Conjuration.

The Mandalorian finds a vent into the sewers, where he hopes to find his people's hidden stronghold. Moff Gideon gives them until nightfall to surrender, or he will order his troops to fire, before saying Din Djarin, the Mandalorian's real name. MARC The Mandalorian recognizes Gideon, who had been an officer of the Empire's secret police when the Empire took over Mandalore. IG-11 arrives on a Scout Trooper's bike with the Child, blasting through the stormtroopers. The Mandalorian takes down several more, but is badly wounded by Gideon. As the group take cover inside, Gideon orders a Flametrooper to incinerate them, but the Child uses the Force to reflect the flames and kill the trooper. MIKEY The Mandalorian and IG-11 remain behind while Dune and Karga take the Child into the sewers. Pointing out that a Mandalorian's face being seen is technically not a violation of the Mandalorian creed, as he is a droid and not a living thing, IG-11 removes the Mandalorian's helmet, revealing the latter's face for the first time. After treating his injuries they then rejoin the others in the sewers. MARC Arriving at the Mandalorian enclave, they find it abandoned except for the Armorer, who explains that the Imperials found the enclave when the Mandalorians revealed themselves. Upon seeing the Child, the Armorer is reminded of the Jedi, whom Mandalorians see as their ancient enemies. She instructs the Mandalorian to take the Child to the Jedi, wherever they might be; she also carves a Mudhorn signet into his pauldron and gives him a jetpack. MIKEY While the Armorer remains behind, the Mandalorian, Dune, Karga, IG-11, and the Child escape down an underground lava river. IG-11 decides to sacrifice himself by walking into an ambush and activating his self-destruct. After they emerge from the tunnel, Gideon attacks in the TIE fighter in which he arrived. Using his jetpack, the Mandalorian plants explosives on Gideon's fighter, which brings down the craft. MARC With the Imperials seemingly dealt with, Karga invites the Mandalorian to return to the Guild, but he refuses as he must take care of the Child. Dune elects to remain behind to work as Karga's enforcer. The Mandalorian buries Kuiil's body beneath a cairn of stones and departs Nevarro. Meanwhile, Gideon cuts himself out of the crashed fighter with the Darksaber. THANK YOU PATRONS Mikey: Marc and I make our living as full-time musicians.

"The black magicians of the Black Lodge struggle to swerve initiates off the path. This is why it is necessary, urgent, that the devotees defend themselves from the attacks of the tenebrous ones. Thus, it is urgent to learn how to do so... We must chant these mantras with all of our soul. We must chant them with profound emotion. This is how we defend ourselves from the tenebrous ones." —Samael Aun Weor Learn how to defend yourself against negative forces through the power of prayer, faith, and divine remembrance. This practice conveys the Conjuration of the Four (a means of balancing psychological elements and purifying our environment), the Conjuration of the Seven (a potent technique for rejecting intense negativity), and the Invocation of Solomon (a prayer for receiving superior guidance from the spiritual hierarchies)   Resources: Conjuration of the Four Video Conjuration of the Seven Video Invocation of Solomon Video Explanations for Conjurations of the Four, the Seven, and the Invocation of Solomon

Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world. Believe it or not, Connoisseurs, there are people who do not enjoy the thrills and chills of our favorite genre! They are not drawn to the dark, creepy, spooky things that go bump in the night. Most of the time, that is. However, they will sometimes take a peek into our delightfully fun stories, if the tale is well told. Erin & Gary were curious as to why someone would avoid venturing into this fearful territory they love, and what might tempt them to dip an occasional toe into the dark waters. To find out, they are joined by their friend, and certified scaredy cat, Kamassa Herrmann, to discuss her history with horror (and why she usually avoids it), inflatable T-Rex costumes, everyone's lines and levels of desensitization, their feelings about The Walking Dead, watching horror with friends, various gateway horrors, the Scooby-Doo factor of Supernatural, the role of sound in horror, why Gary gets all the hate mail, a Game of Thrones diversion, a Beetlejuice rant, and how Kamassa was able to out-ick Erin & Gary!

Monumental Names: Archival Aesthetics and the Conjuration of History in Moscow (Routledge, 2022) asks us to consider: what stands behind the propensity to remember victims of mass atrocities by their personal names? Grounded in ethnographic and archival research with Last Address and Memorial, one of the oldest independent archives of Soviet political repressions in Moscow and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Galina Oustinova-Stjepanovic examines a version of archival activism that is centred on various practices of documentation and commemoration of many dead victims of historical violence in Russia to understand what kind of historicity is produced when a single name is added to an endless list. What do acts of accumulation of names of the dead affirm when they are concretised in monuments and performance events? The key premise is that multimodal inscriptions of names of the dead entail a political, aesthetic and conceptual movement between singularity and multitude that honours each dead name yet conveys the scale of a mass atrocity without reducing it to a number. Drawing on anthropology, history, philosophy, and aesthetic theory, the book yields a new perspective on the politics of archival and historical justice while it critically engages with the debates on relations and distinctions between names and numbers of the dead, monumental art and its political effects, law and history, image and text, the specific one and the infinite many.

So I'm gonna share a few tracks in this episode, along with a story about my original song “I'll Drink from Dusk Til Dawn”, a ghost story, no less, just in time for Halloween. I'm revving for the end of the year. I launched the Celtic Christmas Podcast last week. And yes, I know we haven't gotten through Halloween yet. But when you're a DJ, you have to plan way early. Speaking of Halloween, if you haven't listened to “Lament for a Halloween Rabbit”, go check it out. I released that episode last year. You can hear my Bugs Bunny Halloween song in that episode. And make sure you pick up my Celtic Halloween EP. It's one of the bonuses you get when you are a member of my Gunn Runners Club on Patreon. 6:36 - “High Jeannie High” by Marc Gunn from Happy Songs of Death 8:41 - RECYCLING TIP I learned something interesting about recycling recently. I wanted to share. I think most of us know we should recycle. But there are a LOT of hiccups in learning how. In Birmingham, AL, we could only recycle glass by taking it to a glass recycle dumpster. But in Atlanta, we have a lot more options. So I'm gonna share two quick and easy tips. First, don't put plastic bags into the recycle bin. Plastic bags are too thin and they will tangle up in the machinery. That means, they have to shut down the equipment to get the plastic bag out. You can take all types of thin plastic to the recycle bins at grocery stores. It says plastic bags. And we think about grocery bags. But it includes all thin plastic. Second, it also includes trash bags. Those should not be dumped into the recycle bin. I used to bag all of my recycle material into a plastic trash bag and dumb that into the recycle bin. Turns out when you do that, the collectors frequently throw those bags into the regular trash because the trash bag also will get caught in the machinery. So instead, dump the recycle loosely into your blue bins. It seems weird. But it's more likely to get recycled. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me. 10:51 - UPCOMING SHOWS NOV 4-6: Conjuration, Atlanta, GA NOV 19: Three Taverns Brewery, Decatur, GA @ 12:00-1:30 PM NOV 19: Ironshield Brewing, Lawrenceville, GA @ 7:00-10:00 PM 11:56 - “La La La Geek” by Marc Gunn from Sci Fi Drinking Songs 14:08 - STORY OF I'LL DRINK FROM DUSK TIL DAWN I wrote “I'll Drink From Dusk Til Dawn” around 2001, I think. I don't exactly remember when. But I do remember quite a bit about this Irish ghost story. The original title of the song was “Johnny at the Door”. I first recorded it with the Brobdingnagian Bards for our album Songs of Ireland. It was one of the few original songs. [insert snippet of bards version] This is one of those songs I was super proud of. I wanted to write a traditional-style ghost story and I succeeded tremendously. I had so many people ask us back then where I “found” the song because they thought it was a traditional Irish song. That was a big part of my goal in writing it. I wanted a song that was indistinguishable from traditional Irish songs. So on that front I succeeded. I also succeeded because of the name–”Johnny at the Door”. It's a good ghost story name. It evoked wonderful imagery. It's the story of a man who goes to work just longing for the end of the day and a good pint of beer with his friends. He dies on the journey. And his ghost finishes his quest to have a good pint of beer. But yes, I changed the name. That was because of MP3.com. We were doing quite well on MP3.com. I was learning a lot about naming things in search during that time. It was the start of my study of SEO (search engine optimization) which was super important in the aughts. But this was less SEO and more naming. If you know the song, “Johnny at the Door” sounds cool and kind of creepy. But it doesn't really get much attention until you hear that chorus. You see, this was one of my more successful attempts to write a drinking song. But again “Johnny at the Door” doesn't really say anything about it being a drinking song. Not until you hear it. I was convinced that if I renamed the song, that it would be more popular on MP3.com. And I was right. I changed the name and the song shot up on the Celtic music charts. It wasn't super stellar. But it was good enough that when I decided to re-record it in 2009 for my CD, Happy Songs of Death, that I should use the new name instead of the one that Bards had used on Songs of Ireland. This recording was produced by Ari Koinuma. He was the Japanese American producer I hired to also produce Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers. Aside from the autoharp, he played all of the instruments on the album. I think he sang on track as well. But most of the background vocals were me singing in different voices, something I was learning to do on Going for Brogue. Ari told me later that this was his favorite song on the album. He had fun producing it and building the intensity. 19:19 - “I'll Drink From Dusk Til Dawn” by Marc Gunn from Happy Songs of Death You can download this song as an MP3 when you join my Gunn Runners on Patreon.
