8 pm CST-Variety Show- Pamela Kelly welcomes Sonja Sadovsky author of The Priestess & the Pen (Marion Zimmer Bradley, Dion Fortune & Diana Paxson's Influence on Modern Paganism) This important book by debut author Sonja Sadovsky shines new light on how three captivating minds shaped the course of history. The fantasy novels of Dion Fortune, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Diana L. Paxson influenced the image of the priestess in Neopagan and Goddess-centered spirituality throughout the world. The Priestess & the Pen shows how their work changed the way women are depicted in literature, created space for women to reclaim their power, and energized the women's equality movement. Presenting a reinterpretation of the Goddess as fourfold rather than threefold, The Priestess & the Pen adds dimension and relevance to the traditional Triple Goddess archetype in a way that has never before been considered with such compelling clarity. This book is poised to become a vital interpretation of the Pagan priestess. http://www.llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738738000

Over the centuries scores of others may have been destroyed with no trace remaining. Cairn T (pictured above) can be seen in a Virtual Reality tour on the Voices from the Dawn website. This is the Cairn that is illuminated by the Sun at the time of the Spring Equinox. Equinox illumination at the end of the Tomb The Hag of Beare The folktales of the ancient Hag of Beare were the stories that greeted Conwell, John O’Donovan, and Jonathan Swift before him.  Other translations of "The Hag of Beare" can be found on Voices from the Dawn. The Hag's Chair The Hag's Chair (pictured above) has a deeply-incised cross carved into its seat was noted by Conwell as a nineteenth-century trigonometric mark, although others have claimed it to be an artifact of the monument’s use as a “Mass rock” during Penal times.

The songs we weave tell tales of myth and legend and the old beliefs of our lands and peoples. Our music is timeless, evocative of earlier, simpler times. The instruments reflect our love of forgotten timbres - we play English & Swedish bagpipes, woodwinds and recorders, the medieval hurdy-gurdy, mandola and laùd, and a host of percussion. Brocc's songs and tunes are mostly original, with some traditional material in our own distinctive arrangements. This beautiful track, Call of the Wild Woods, is a superb example of their style and versatility and comes for their latest album, 13 Moons. You can find out more about Brocc on their Website or on our Contributor Page.   Ostara's Hare by Chris Joliffe Chris Joliffe Chris is an amazing bard whose talents cover both story and poem as he explores mythic realms with his evocative words.

What an awesome show tonight!  First up, best selling author, scholar and priestess Diana L. Paxson discusses her new book, The Way of the Oracle: Recovering the Practices of the Past to Find Answers for Today.  We'll discuss the famous oracles of history as well as today's modern seers who are ressurecting ancient skills to serve their communities.

We are all born with the potential to use our inner senses as well as our outer ones, to transcend the limitations of the selves we thought we knew. Altered states can be used for everything from relaxation to communication with the divine, expand our horizons, and enrich our lives. We can learn to cue ourselves to shift from one state of consciousness to another in a safe and disciplined way. Such training gives the sensitive person control, and the inexperienced or blocked individual the sense of security needed to let go. Diana L. Paxson has been teaching and writing about spiritual skills since the 1980's. She is a consecrated priestess of the Fellowship of the Spiral Path and a leader in the pagan community. Based in the San Francisco Bay area, she has conducted workshops all over the U.S. and in Europe. Diane's most recent book is TRANCE-PORTATION, published by Weiser Books, which teaches how to develop your own cues for shifting from one state of consciousness to another in a safe and disciplined way. She has also written TAKING UP THE RUNES, and is well known as the author of many novels with spiritual and legendary themes, including RAVENS OF AVALON, which continues the series started by her sister-in-law, Marion Zimmer Bradley.
