El presente episodio es un sentido y profundo homenaje a la denominada como Generación X, es decir, aquellos que puedan encontrarse en un rango aproximado de los nacidos en el año 1965 a 1981 o cuanto es lo mismo, aquellos que tengan un rango de edad actualmente de entre los 45 a los 54 años. Curiosamente más del 50% de los oyentes de este programa están dentro de dicho rango de edad, todo lo cual posee un especial componente astrológico que explicaremos debidamente a través de los propios conocimientos de nuestro amigo Ramón Finka, músico y astrólogo, quien amablemente compartiera la información al respecto para poder transmitirla. Sin ser partidarios de ciertas etiquetas institucionales, tales como las asignadas a determinados rangos de edad, debamos comprender que todo ello está deliberadamente diseñado para que podamos obviar el verdadero trasfondo astrológico y energético mediante el cual el propio sistema es capaz de manipular y reconducir tales cuestiones en su propio beneficio, camuflando actualmente sus propias agendas bajo un falso trasfondo humanitario o fraudulento espíritu de equipo. También cabe mencionar a Rafa Budo, como principal inspirador del presente episodio a través de una de sus divulgaciones, en la cual realizara un sentido homenaje a tal generación y una generación a fin de cuentas difícil de doblegar, al igual que por fortuna una generación que pudimos disfrutar de una infancia exenta de tecnología digital invasiva, siendo testigos directos de una transición que en muchos aspectos pudiera otorgarnos una poderosa identidad, tan crítica como contestataria y tan inconformista como combativa.

Send us a textIn 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped into the sandals of one of pulp's most celebrated heroes and, what was likely the most on point casting in the history of cinema, became legend. Conan the Barbarian.There is a common quote from that film, bandied about by fans, but it's not my favorite. My favorite quote from the film and my favorite scene come at the end of the picture.“Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!”To me, that was ConanOver the years the Conan archetype has been shoehorned into many games, Of course I'm looking at the very poor attempt in D&D called the Barbarian class. You might like the class, but it's not Conan, and make no mistake it was supposed to be Conan when it was introduced.In 1985 TSR tried to cash in with its own Conan RPG. In 1989 Steve Jackson Games came out with a Conan supplement for GURPS. In 2004 Mongoose Publishing launched their Conan: The Roleplaying Game which was a d20 variant. And in 2017 Modiphius released a 2d20 version called Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of.All of these games had various levels of success. I mean it's Conan, it doesn't take much for people to pick up the book and several of them were held in high regard. Personally I never found one that really clicked for me. I gave the GURPS version a try, but it just felt a little flat.Then Monolith Board Games Kickstarted Conan the Hyborian Age. This rules light system approached the barbarian and Robert E. Howards tales differently then the other versions. In Conan the Hyborian Age the story mattered. The rules were simple and left the door open for narrative to push the story. Or at least that's what the Kickstarter said.So I backed it and when I downloaded a copy of the core rulebook something special happened.I got excited. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the fantastic art, maybe it was a focus on Robert E. Howard's stories, maybe it was the very simplistic combat system, maybe it was the magic system that pulled your own life to fuel the spells, or maybe they just found the perfect combination.I had to play this thing. So I hit up the Thursday night group and said “What do you guys think about playing a Conan game?”The rest as they say is history.On this episode Mike, Christina and I are going to talk about the new Conan: They Hyborian Age TTRPG. We will talk about the core rules, the book itself and the good, the great, and the bad we've come across after playing it for a couple of months.And just to give you a little heads up for the episode.I absolutely love this game.Christina, let's start with you. What's your history with Conan and what did you initially think when I suggested playing it?[Kick to Christina]Mike, same question, what did you think about Conan going into the game?[Kick to Mike]

In this episode! The Economy: Retail Quants May Be the Next Stabilizing Force for Markets Retail traders using sophisticated quantitative strategies are starting to have a surprising and noticeable impact on financial prices. Many commentators criticize such do-it-yourself investing as the road to disaster for investors and a destabilizing force for markets. In fact, in a world where passive investing is exploding, this is a reassuring counter current that should aid in price discovery and bring some balance to the makeup of the market.

Send us a text✨ FREE LEARNING RESOURCES FOR A YEAR! - https://irishpagan.school/freeIn this deep dive into the ancient figure of Crom Cruach, Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the lore, legends, and mystery surrounding this lesser-known Irish deity. Crom Cruach, an enigmatic figure from Ireland's pre-Christian past, is mentioned in texts like the Annals of the Four Masters and the Metrical Dindshenchas, but much of what we know is fragmentary and colored by Christian reinterpretation. Was Crom Cruach a fearsome idol demanding human sacrifice, or a misunderstood deity associated with fertility, prosperity, and abundance?✨ Irish Pagan Resources Checklist available NOW - https://irishpagan.school/checklist/

Was Crom Cruach a real Irish god? Or just Christian propaganda? Let's unravel St. Patrick's legend!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of Creation's Paths, hosts Charlie and Brian explore the legend of St. Patrick and Crom Cruach, a tale of Christianity's clash with Druidry in ancient Ireland. They dive into the historical accuracy of the myth, questioning whether Crom Cruach was an actual deity or a later fabrication. The episode examines St. Patrick's role in driving out the Druids, the propaganda behind Christian miracle stories, and how imperial narratives shaped religious history. They also discuss comparisons to Conan the Barbarian, the satanic panic of the 80s, and the power of myth in shaping belief systems. With humor and insight, they debunk misconceptions about Celtic paganism, analyze Christian imperialism, and challenge listeners to recognize the hidden “magic” of storytelling as a tool of control.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett https://cash.app/$CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com --- A Christopagan Manifesto--- Answer to the Call: A Dream of an Oak Church Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/#Christopagan #CreationSpirituality #ChristianWitch #Paganism #Esoteric #Magic #Druidry #Mysticism #Spirituality #Occult #WitchCraft #Wicca #IrishPaganism #CelticPaganism #Magick #Polytheism #Enchantment #StPatrick #CromCruach #IrishMythology## Chapters:00:00 The Legend of St. Patrick and Crom Cruach01:21 Introduction to the Hosts01:31 Crom Cruach in Popular Culture02:39 Debunking the Legend04:04 The Nature of Irish Deities05:58 Christianity vs. Paganism08:10 The Role of Statues in Religion13:06 Imperialism in Religious Stories20:48 Modern Reflections on the Legend25:49 Conclusion and Call to Action Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

Welcome back, Cromrades! This week, we take on two combat sports movies that damage us right where it hurts - the emotions! We're talking Million Dollar Baby directed by Clint Eastwood, and starring Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. Then, we enter the squared circle to face off against the Von Erich family in The Iron Claw, directed by Sean Durkin and starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, , Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, Holt McCallany, and Lily James.  We're talking raw emotional damage, folks.  Would Robert E. Howard have found something to like about this double feature? Let us know!            One Things Jon: Peaceful Neighbor: Discovering the Counter Cultural Mr. Rogers by Michael Long Josh: On Boxing by Joyce Carol Oates Luke: Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins by Annie Jacobsen Questions?

I just recently found this utterly ridiculous & comedically immature episode with the  Los Angeles band Crom . If you like Beavis & Butthead then you're gonna love this episode that I thought I had lost

This week on Comics and Chronic Jake & Anthony interview writer Daniel Freedman.  He is the creator & writer for such comics as Kali, Raiders, & Birdking published by Dark Horse Comics as well as Undying Love published by Image Comics. Go check Daniel Freedman's books out now! https://www.danielfreedman.tv/ But first, Daniel confuses Jake for Cody (A surprisingly common occurrence).  He also gives insight to his experiences with Comic Cons and lets us know which ones are his favorite.  Is Artist Alley at Comic-Con being pushed more and more to the back as time goes on?  Daniel is also a screenwriter but has been focusing more on books over the last couple of years.  Will his book Undying Love finally be made into a movie?  Daniel lets us know why he prefers writing comics to screenplays. Daniel explains how Birdking came about.  Daniel Freedman is a big Lord Of The Rings fan & some of its influence can be felt in Birdking.  How did Dune influence Daniel Freedman?  Daniel & artist CROM have done an incredible job world building Birdking.  Daniel gives his advice to Anthony as a fellow writer & comic creator.  Warhammer vibes also come across in Birdking and we can possibly expect the final volume of Birdking at the end of 2025.  Tune in now & check out our Patreon exclusive Birdking episode out this month!

L'artiste CROM à qui l'on doit le titre Raiders et la série Birdking (excellente au demeurant), publiée aux Humanoïdes Associés, était de passage en France au cours de la rentrée afin de dédicacer le second album de la série en question, menée par Daniel Freedman au dessin. Le dessinateur, qui a l'habitude d'apparaître toujours masqué en public, s'est prêté au jeu de l'interview pour notre plus grand plaisir... et le votre également !Dans les coulisses de Birdking avec CROMC'est donc pendant près de quarante minutes que nous avons pu nous entretenir avec CROM, afin de parler de son parcours - entre la bande dessinée, le design, le tatouage - et de ses inspirations artistiques, avant d'aller explorer de fond en comble l'univers fascinant de Birdking, alors que la série est arrivée en VF à la moitié de son chemin.

In this episode of Work Matters, host Thomas Bertels welcomes Steve Crom, former chairman and partner emeritus of global consulting firm Oxygy. With over four decades of experience in transforming work and improving productivity for leading global companies, Steve shares his insights on managing across cultures and how national culture influences how work gets done. Drawing from his personal experience as well as research by Fons Trompenars, Steve offers a practical framework for understanding differences in national cultures by looking at two dimensions: Structure (egalitarian vs. hierarchical) and focus (people-centered vs. task-focused). He describes the four basic archetypes and explains why understanding cultural differences is crucial for global leaders to effectively manage and motivate their teams.Thomas and Steve explore the challenge of balancing global standardization with the need for local adaptation and ownership. Steve explains that while global companies benefit from economies of scale and standardized operating models, these can sometimes conflict with the unique cultural characteristics of different regions. He suggests a pragmatic approach where countries are clustered into archetypes based on similarities, allowing for a more manageable number of models that can be tailored to fit the specific needs of each cluster.Emphasizing the importance of involving local employees in the design and implementation of solutions to ensure they are culturally appropriate and effective, Steve shares an example of a sales organization operating in multiple European countries that successfully optimized local processes by first asking teams from each country to design a solution for their local challenge - and then share that solution with their European peers, inviting them to adapt what makes sense - and reject what does not. Steve concludes by discussing the practical implications for global leaders, the importance of humility and curiosity, and the value of helping people achieve their goals in ways that make sense to them, avoiding the imposition of one-size-fits-all solutions.Overall, this episode of Work Matters highlights the complexities of managing across cultures and underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity and adaptability for global leaders. Steve/s experiences and insights offer valuable lessons for anyone looking to navigate the challenges of a globalized workplace effectively.To learn more, we suggest the following article: https://www.isixsigma.com/europe/using-six-sigma-europe-cross-cultural-perspective/

It’s the first Conan comic to make it to the podcast but by Crom it will not be the last. Handpicked by Michael Munshaw this issue is the only full issue drawn by Neal Adams. Michael and I talk about buying and sharing comics as kids and so much more....

This week Paul, Javi, and - indubitably - Producer Brad contemplate Conan the Barbarian, John Milius' sweeping, serpent-filled, and surprisingly soup-laden adaptation of Robert E. Howard's legendary pulp hero, brought to laconic life by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role that made him an icon. Crom commands you to heed this episode as we chronicle Arnold's epic quest to deliver a monologue that measures up to those of his magnificently mellifluous co-stars James Earl Jones, Max Von Sydow and Mako! And did we mention the soup?  (And yes, astute listeners, we realize we're breaking continuity by reaching back to a movie that opened on May 14, 1982, but you can trust us as much as steel that this journey into high adventure is infinitely preferable to the wheel of pain that was The Secret of NIMH!)

Welcome back to the big show, Cromrades! This week, we discuss chapters 11 - 20 of The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson. Check back in a few weeks for the exciting finale!One ThingsJon: Love Lies Bleeding, a movie!Josh: Fargo, season 1 and 2, a television show!Luke: Nuclear War, A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen, a book!
