Join us for a rare and profound conversation with visionary botanist, biochemist, and bestselling author Diana Beresford-Kroeger, whose work reveals Forests as living, breathing networks essential to our survival.In this intimate webinar, Diana shares insights from Our Green Heart, the culmination of her life's research on the deep connection between forests, human health, and planetary survival. As one of the last people in Ireland to receive a full Druidic education, she bridges ancient ecological wisdom with cutting-edge science to show how forests serve as Earth's lungs, medicine, and protectors against climate breakdown.Discover the hidden intelligence of trees, the critical role forests play in stabilizing climate, and how Diana's groundbreaking Bioplan offers a roadmap for replanting the global forest—and our future. She calls on each of us to take action through planting, protection, and reciprocity with the natural world.This is more than a conversation—it's a call to action. Leave inspired and empowered with steps to help safeguard the forests that sustain life on Earth.Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a globally recognized author, medical biochemist, botanist, and climate visionary. Raised in Ireland after the early loss of her parents, she was educated by elders in the Brehon tradition who passed on ancestral knowledge of plants and nature.Told as a child she would one day carry that wisdom into a troubled future, Diana has done just that. Since the 1960s, she has been sounding the alarm on climate change and advocating for the protection of global forests. Her scientific path led to degrees in botany and biochemistry, and to discoveries such as genetic smearing and cathodoluminescence in biological systems—now used in cancer detection.Yet her heart remained with the forest. In the 1970s, she created her own arboretum, gathered rare trees from around the world, and uncovered the chemical language and medicinal intelligence of forests. Her Bioplan empowers people everywhere to replant and protect native species. The plan has been adopted by cities like Ottawa and inspired international action.Diana's 2016 documentary Call of the Forest introduced wider audiences to this vision, alongside a tree-planting app matching native species to location. Her collaboration with activist Sophia Rabliauskas helped secure UNESCO World Heritage status for Pimachiowin Aki, a boreal forest of immense ecological and cultural value.Diana's legacy project is to clone and map the entire global forest—creating a living library of seeds to safeguard biodiversity for future generations.Learn more: https://dianaberesford-kroeger.comSupport the show

Originally issued - January 19th, 2024In this episode a very enlightening conversation with Maria Wheatley about dowsing, earth energies and her new book - The Secret Mystery of Stonehenge.Maria is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers.Maria is an accomplished author of books on sacred sites and dowsing. She has researched the esoteric design canons of prehistoric sites, Druidic ceremonial enclosures and the Knights Templar for many years. Maria has studied Neolithic Britain and Bronze Age prehistory with the University of Bath and alongside other professionals,Maria combines her knowledge of archaeology, and earth energies with state of the art equipment to locate and detect the hidden frequencies that the Earth emits. Believing in the Earth Force or dowsing is simply not enough for Maria, she wants to show the world that the prehistoric designers of ancient sites could locate and harness earth energy. Her findings challenge our understanding of sacred sites.Maria has lectured and given workshops in America and Europe and has also appeared on the History Channel – she managed to get several of the participants who had never before held a dowsing rod – to successfully detect ley lines at Stonehenge,In the late 1980s, Maria studied astrology and tarot and during the 1990s turned her attention to hypnotherapy, past life regression and reflexology. She has taught complimentary medicine for Swindon College for over 15 years. She has also written holistic diploma courses for private colleges such as the British School of Yoga (BSY Group).She recently founded the Avebury School of Esoteric Studies which offers certificated courses on holistic subjects including past life regression, astrology and dowsing and which is affiliated with the Association of British Correspondence Colleges. https://theaveburyexperience.co.uk/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-magical-world-of-g-michael-vasey--4432257/support.

Hexing: Is it justice, vengeance, or just wasteful energy? Dive into the ethics of magic! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ This podcast episode explores the ethical dimensions and practical implications of hexing within magical traditions, focusing on its role as a form of justice magic. Charlie and Brian, a Christopagan Druid, discuss various perspectives on hexing, emphasizing that magic should be intentional, ethical, and supported by tangible actions. The conversation covers the historical roots of hexing, including satire in Druidic traditions and the inclusion of hexing concepts in religious texts like the Psalms. They stress that hexing for vengeance or frivolous reasons is wasteful and potentially harmful. Instead, hexing should align with justice and be part of broader efforts to bring about societal change. The duo also highlight how all intentional actions, such as voting or protesting, can be considered magical acts. The episode concludes with a call to integrate magic with purposeful, ethical action to create meaningful outcomes.

A HaLIUween Special

Happy Halloween! In this special episode of The LIUniverse, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome back archaeology expert Hannah Liu, MEd to bring a scientific eye to the holiday and some of its most familiar denizens: witches, werewolves, zombies, black cats and even the Great Galactic Ghoul! As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). You'll learn all about this visitor from the Oort Cloud, including how we know where it came from. Hannah talks about how ancient people responded to the arrival of a comet, including how leaders have used them for their own political purposes, and Charles brings up the inclusion of Halley's Comet on the Bayeux tapestry. Then it's time for Chuck to introduce our theme for this special episode: how the superstitions of the past interact with the mysteries of science. You'll hear from Hannah about the history of Halloween and its beginning as the Druidic celebration of Sawen (or Samhain) marking the end of the harvest season. Jumping ahead in history, we look at the Salem Witch Trials of the 17th Century, and the “science” that was used to condemn innocent young women to death for behaviors the powers that be disapproved of. You'll also get serious answers to spooky questions like “Do full moons affect behavior?” (We're talking the behavior of moths, sea turtles and humans, rather than werewolves, although we do actually get into the possible origins of the wolfman myth as embodied in the Greek myth of Zeus and Lycaon with a minor digression into D&D and legendary DJ Wolfman Jack.) After witches and werewolves, what else could we talk about next than zombies? In this case, natural zombie spiders created by the sting of a parasitic Tarantula Hawk wasp, or zombie ants that have been infected by the fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. And yes, somehow The Walking Dead and The Last of Us shamble into the discussion, although regarding the latter, Allen explains why cordyceps probably couldn't survive in a human host. Next up, we look at the connection between black cats and the holiday. Hannah brings up the traditions of cats as “Witch's Familiars” and shapeshifters, and Chuck reminds us of the moment when we saw a cat transform into Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. You'll hear about how STS-13, which was slated to be the thirteenth mission of the Space Shuttle, was renamed STS-41-C, in an attempt to avoid any superstition or reminder of the ill-fated Apollo 13. There was an alternate mission patch that featured an illustration of the shuttle landing under a giant black cat, referencing the mission's original designation, STS-13; and that the day the mission returned was April 13, 1984, which was a Friday the 13th. Speaking of space, Hannah asks Chuck about the concept of “The Great Galactic Ghoul,” the fictitious space monster blamed for the failure of nearly every probe sent to Mars by the Soviet Union, Japan, and even NASA between 1988 and 1999. Out of 10 missions, only 2 US probes landed successfully on the Red Planet. Since then, while the Ghoul did claim a few more victims including two missions by the UK, it seems to have gone into hiding, since the US has had multiple successful missions, as has China with their Tianwen lander and Zhurong rover, India, Russia, the European Space Agency, and the UAE. Finally, to end our special HaLIUween episode, Chuck brings up Albert Einstein's term, “Spooky Action at a Distance,” which he coined derisively to describe the physics concept known as quantum entanglement that he dismissed but has since been proven to exist.

That used to happen. The chariot races, the horse races, the foot races. Brian asks, is there anyway, we can incorporate that into what we're talking about. My mind immediately went to an idea. From the Shambala teachings. The idea of the wind horse. Let's talk about that a little bit today. On Creation's Paths. Intro hello everyone. My name is Charlie. I'm a non-binary sci-fi fantasy writer. I'm also a practicing. Druid and priest a Bridget. I am joined today by my very silly husband, Brian. [00:00:51] Brian - New: Hello. [00:00:52] Charlie- New: Today we're going to be talking about the Lungta or the wind horse. I've really been trying to see if I could find a Celtic equivalent. Of this or something from the Irish or Welsh. Scottish. Myths that would. Fit, this kind of story. I'm struggling for that. So if you know of anything, do let me know. My experience with this idea comes from. Chögyam trungpa Rinpoche's Shambala. Of the ideas that are presented in that book. And so I don't have the strong cultural connection to it. That others would with this appearing on various net national flags. And whatnot. So I want to kind of say state this up front that from my practice of Shambala. That's where this is coming from. I mean, nothing but respect. To all of the communities that have a much deeper. Tied to this imagery. Then perhaps I do. In shambala. The Lungta or wind horse. Is defined as an expression of the basic goodness of the universe, the basic energy of the universe. In druidry it straddles the line between what we would call Arwin and Nwyfre. Between that creative breath. That is blowing through the world. And that energy that we can tap into. It might be right to say that the wind horse in the Shambala teachings is an expression of Nwyfre. It is an expression of how you connect to that basic goodness. And learn to ride it. And learn to harness it and. Bring that energy into your life. To help it to flow through all things and through practice. The wonderful magic that is discussed in the Shambala. System. We were told that. The element of wind. Reminds us of just how strong. And exuberant. This basic goodness of the world is. If you've not encountered this idea before you. It's also present in Buddhism. Stop for a minute. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, pull over to the side of the road or do this part of the exercise when you get home. Or to, to a parking lot somewhere , don't do this while driving. I want you to close your eyes for a minute. And just slowly. Breathe in. And breathe out. Breathe in. And breathe out. And just focus on your breathing anytime, a thought or feeling. Tries to distract you from. Your breath. Just. Go back to the breath. No struggle. No fight. Just go back to your breath. And then there was something happening inside of you. Yeah, this is the beginning of a mindfulness meditation. This is how we start learning mindfulness. But do you notice something else? There's an ease. There's a. Sensation that a lot of people feel. When they enter this mindful state. It might take you a bit to. Dig down into it. You might not be instant. Let's just breathe in. And breathe. Slowly at first until you. Been able to. Gather that focus on your breathing. Then let your breathing. Become more natural. Let it flow in and out. And you'll feel something. There are a lot of words for this. Basic joy. Basic calm basic goodness. All manner of words for you. Feeling. It's very. Present. That's the heart and the root of mindfulness. That's basic. Goodness. Now I, from a druidic perspective. Would tell you. That you were touching the very edges of. Oh, This is like when you're a kid in the car and you stick your fingers out. Not the full window, like the whole window hasn't opened the windows kind of cracked. You kind of stick your fingers out and feel the wind. Brushing against the tips of your fingers. Where you're standing by the edge of a stream and you just gonna dip your fingers in and you feel the water. Flowing by. That's what you're feeling. In this moment. That basic goodness. That gentle flow. Of the Awen. This isn't like when the wind hits us and we're raptured away into this creative. Fury. The other one isn't there just then. It's always there. Everyone has a different name for it. Everyone has a different way of talking about it. And here in the Buddhist and. Shambala tradition. It's basic goodness. Because everything's okay. That moment in meditation that you get to where you just feel everything's all right. Now. Imagine being able to. Ride that feeling. That's the image in Shambala. That's the image of the wind horse. It's been able to get into that. Place of basic goodness. And ride that current. To ride it forward. And to stay on it and to harness that. Intrinsic power of the universe. That basic goodness. For better. Is that a powerful image? Is that an image that moves you? It moves me. That's how. We can start getting into the Awen. That's how we can start getting into basic goodness. And that's. And what we mean when we say riding the wind horse in the title. Yeah. It comes from this basic image. What. Would it mean if we could actually do that? Let's just think about this for a minute. Let's have a thought experiment. The whole idea of the Shambala practices. We're trying to bring that realm of all the enlightened beings to Shambala here. To earth. The idea in Christianity is we're trying to bring the kingdom of God here. May your will be done on heaven. And on earth as it is in heaven. In. Kabbalah, You are. Restoring the world. So that it will be made perfect in the world to come. A lot of us have this. Idea. We're trying to perfect them. a, Bodhisattva takes the vow so that they will not enter their final Nirvana. They're very Nirvana. Until all beings are enlightenment. You're here for the long haul. They're going to be here until the end until this golden age. In the Shambala teachings. We're told that. Learning. This practice. I'll be able to ride that basic goodness. That's how we get there. Now in Druidry, we don't have that. Per se. We can talk about. tir na nog getting. The land of youth, the land of the living. That other world. It really is. Um, other world we're not trying to bring tir na nog here. I think you can experience. Glimpses. Of the other world here. We're not actually going to enter the other world until we enter the other world. We are trying to bring that inspiration. That Awen. Into the world. We're trying to find. The Mabin. The child of light. That's been stolen from the divine mother. So that. Life can be restored to the land. Then so doing the story. We travel around to the four oldest creatures trying to find. Where the Mabin has been hidden. Whereas the child. Where did you hide? Where's he hidden where. Where is it? But even that's not an eschatological idea, right? It's there's no end of the world. We don't know if there wasn't an end of the world. There so little that has survived of Irish Welsh. Scottish Manx Cornish. Mythology. We don't know if they ever had. An idealized state or. Uh, cyclical universe kind of like what happens after Ragnar rock, where. The old gods are dead. And the three gods, the three sons of. Oden survive and recreate the world. I don't know. We don't even know if that's how that story originally ended. It's the version that we have was written by a Christian. And they could have just Christianized. So we, we don't know. I like to think. When we look at the stories. We can see this. Balance. This ideal of balance. Between our world and the other world. The spirit in the material world. We're not always working for the, either the spiritual or the material work. Trying to bring the best of both together. That would involve writing the wind horse. [00:09:20] Brian - New: In addition to that, I'm thinking about writing. The wind horse. I found myself thinking about. The word. and how it breaks down. Too. Lung being space. Of the five elements. ta meaning horse. Horse being that transformation. Of purifying of taking something. Bad and making it. Good. After thinking about it for a while. It dawned on me that. In this practice. When I am riding the wind horse, when I'm actively doing this. It is the act of. Being mindful of the five poisons. Transforming them. Into the five powers. When I'm in a journey throughout my daily life, I tried to be mindful of. That. When I'm really engaging in that, I'm. Engaging in that transformative power. The five poisons. are doubt. Which we. Experience often. even right now, I'm facing doubt. laziness. Lisa, this is something that, you know, He constantly wrestled against it's okay to rest. But laziness is that overindulgence. heedlessness. Not paying attention to where you're going or what you're doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Recklessly charging forth. Distraction. as one of the ADHD community members. Uh, Yeah, distraction. Definitely a poisoning challenge. And ignorance. Through lungta, through riding the wind horse, the exercise. I look towards faith. because faith removes doubt. [00:10:57] Charlie- New: The faith that we're talking about here in the Buddhist context. Is what I would consider true faith. And that's trust. It's I have faith in my friends. It's I have learned to rely on this, that this is reliable. It is an earned. Trust it is not necessarily wish fulfilling trust. No. The important thing is that it is built from one. You start with a, I'm going to test this and see if it works. But you only keep that faith. Once you've learned that it is trustworthy. [00:11:30] Brian - New: It's proving all things holding fast to that, which is true. It is also that trust. That comes from. The hope that. Things will happen. But knowing that it might not happen in the way that you expect it to, or the manner in which you expect it to. You do the effort along with that hope it's hope plus effort, which is the second power. Which is the second power. Energy. Energy and effort. Very, uh, very, uh, yeah. That effort. That's what controls laziness. When getting into the five powers, the five poisons you'll realize one tends to lead to the other. Effort. That'll control that laziness. So it's, okay to rest. We all need to take time to rest, to rejuvenate, to heal. Two. Build our energy, our power back up. But that is different from. Overindulging in. Too much, [00:12:26] Charlie- New: I would say it's differently. As somebody who has a lot of chronic pain. Issues. In my life. I don't like this idea of. Overindulgence being the phrasing there for me. I look at laziness as. This inattentive use of energy. It's a wild. The broken power line. That's just sparking around and not. Really doing anything. It's not allowing your energy to flow where it can flow. Whatever little bits of energy you may have. [00:12:59] Brian - New: Yeah. It can also be obstructed or poorly applied energy. Or poorly applied effort, which. Flows right into the next one. That heedlessness as the poison or mindfulness. as the power. in those moments, when you're being heedless, when you're your energy is just randomly zapping out. And you are. Electrocuting people around you. So to speak. that's when you want to give pause. And be mindful. Just being aware. Of where your energy is, how it is flowing. It is in a way that meditation, Charlie. Having us do earlier. Just a simple breathing. Is a mindfulness and an awareness that we're all on the wind horse. We're on it, no matter whether we want to or not, it's called the journey of life in its present moment. It's being in a present moment. Were there. Which. Then it leads us to the next power is concentration. Where the poison is distraction. When you're finding yourself in those moments of distraction. Mindfulness can help lead you back into concentration. So you take that pause. Like when I have that. Ooh, what's that? It's okay to take that moment, whatever, but I then have to be mindful and bring myself back. Into focus back into concentrating. On where my energy needs to be, what I am actually doing, choosing to do. Yep. Not reacting, but choosing to do. In that moment. Which leads us. To the fifth power that's wisdom. Which helps to control ignorance. [00:14:37] Charlie- New: I think ignorance is one of the most important things in the world right now. Because. I feel like so many of our problems. Our people refusing to admit what they're ignorant about. Very true, because we've turned ignorance into a vice ignorance is an advice it's a poison. And it's one that's in the water. It's all around us, all around us. It's in the water. It's in the air. We're all ignorant of so many things. We're ignorant to so many things. We have no idea how many things we're ignorant of. [00:15:03] Brian - New: The headlessness in distractions in our lives. This leads us to our ignorance. Yes. We're distracted by clicking on this and clicking on that and watching this, watching that and not being mindful and not. Concentrating. On what we need to know or knowing that we don't know a lot of what we need to know. [00:15:23] Charlie- New: Or thinking that we know a lot more than we actually do. Yeah. That. Really is. In so many ways, the opposite of wisdom, like with wisdom. Starts by knowing that you don't know. I forgot who said it but admitting that you don't know is the beginning of wisdom. It really is. You have to start from the place of, I don't know. [00:15:43] Brian - New: Yeah. This is where they flow back into each other. Because faith allows you to go, I don't know. But I know I have faith. That I could still do things. I could still be active in my life and in my community. And have the energy to move forward. And with mindfulness and concentration, I can get more wisdom. So that I can be wiser, but also at the same time have that faith that I can step out there and maybe be wrong. Which is okay. That's part of learning. That's part of gaining wisdom. In being wrong and then admitting and being aware that you are wrong. Once you're made aware. You can then learn and grow and gain that wisdom. [00:16:27] Charlie- New: We're going to be talking about the five powers a lot. Because. They are the engine. That spirituality runs off. It's important for us to have a very active understanding of how our spirituality works. All too often. We just pick up ideas and we put them down and we don't really know what we're doing with them. And this model of understanding. Really helps us to get to the root of it. We picked something up and that's faith. Does this work? Let's try this. When somebody tells you do mindfulness meditation, that'll help you out. Like I did earlier. In this episode. Well, if you have just a little bit of faith of, okay, I'll try it. So you put in the effort. Which will hopefully bring you mindfulness literally in this case. Well, you become aware of what is going on. Which allows you to concentrate and focus in. And then a little, little bit of wisdom. Oh, I did calm down. My mind did come down. I did get a small taste of that basic goodness, that basic reality. That is. Under all things. And that gives you trust. Which is faith. And the cycle continues again and again, and again. don't believe that you can lose your faith. I hear people say this a lot. It's a very common. Phrase in English. I lost my faith in, I lost my faith in. Uh, you can have your faith betrayed. You can. Realize you had never really had faith in something to begin with, but you can't really lose it. Unless trust is betrayed. It doesn't really go away. I know many institutions once had my faith and trust. And then betrayed my faith and trust, and I no longer have faith in those institutions. I didn't lose my faith in. Those institutions. That's that's internalizing that feeling way too much. Those institutions betrayed my faith. They betrayed my trust. And so they no longer have it. And have a lot that they would have to do to earn it back. These five powers. Which are the engine. That runs. All spirituality, whether people are Mo. Mindful of it or not. It really does. Help you get in touch with that basic good does. And learning to operate this machine. That is what riding the lungta is. It's something to operate this machine. It's learning. To tap into that basic. River that basic flow. Of goodness of life. Whatever you want to call it. Yep. That is running through all things. I hope that this episode has helped you out in some way. If nothing else, maybe give you something to think about. We are going to be talking about the five powers a lot. It comes up. And a lot of what I talk about and write. , I have an article up over on https://wisdomscry.com . And on https://www.creationspaths.com/ about the great work inviting people to join me. In that.

The siege of Drose is fully underway, and the party is scattered across the city. The Draegloth are sources of fear and shock as they pass through Drose and its citizens. Glad heads back to the inn and lets Arguile and Salix know to send people her way for safety, rest, and healing. Arguile and Salix agree and make their way through the city, taking out many of these creatures along the way. Arguile uses his Guardian's Rapier and Salix using their Druidic wild shape ability to get the job done. Galahad works with the city guard to eliminate the threats and uses his animated tower shield to protect the citizens. Shanks is with Dreg, clearing out enemies with his bow, Mind's Eye, and Jrehg with a greatsword of carved bone that cleaves enemies as if paper. He wields this weapon with ease, which is impressive as it's almost the size of Galahad. On the other side of the city, Duo helps guide citizens to safety and provides “eyes in the sky” for Zechs. Hoshino, Zechs, and conjured bears help take down some of the Draegloths and help rescue the citizens who are in the path of destruction.

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss druids in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, covering topics such as race and ability scores, proficiencies, class features, spellcasting, and the role of druids as controllers in combat. We also break down the different Druid subclasses and their features and express our opinions on each subclass and provide insights into their strengths and weaknesses. We'll decide on our own subclass choices: Tyler chooses Circle of Spores, Ash chooses Circle of Stars, and Randall chooses Circle of the Moon. We talk about the different forms that Moon Druids can take and the spells they can use at different levels. We explore the benefits of several forms and spells, as well as the strategies and tactics that can be employed in combat. Our conversation concludes with a preview of the next episode, where they will cover levels 5 to 20 for the Druid class. TAKEAWAYS Druids in D&D 5th edition are versatile spellcasters with a focus on area control and summoning magic. Dexterity is crucial for druids due to their limited armor options. Druids excel at controlling the battlefield and manipulating the movement of creatures. Druids have a unique language called Druidic, which is similar to thieves' cant. The Circle of the Land subclass provides additional cantrips to compensate for the druid's lower number of starting cantrips. Druids have exclusive cantrips like Primal Savagery, which is a powerful melee attack option. The Circle of the Moon is a popular choice for new players and offers powerful wild shape abilities. The Circle of Spores is a complex subclass that requires careful optimization to be effective. The Circle of Stars is a versatile subclass with strong spellcasting abilities and unique features. The Circle of Dreams is generally considered a weak subclass due to its limited healing capabilities. The Circle of the Shepherd is a good option for players who enjoy summoning and controlling creatures. The Circle of Wildfire offers a mix of healing and offensive abilities, as well as a companion creature. The Circle of the Land is a solid choice for players who want a straightforward druid experience. The Circle of the Stars is highly recommended for its versatility and powerful features. The Circle of Spores is a complex subclass that requires careful optimization to be effective. The Circle of the Moon is a popular choice for new players and offers powerful wild shape abilities. Moon Druids have a variety of forms to choose from, each with its own benefits and abilities. Spells like Heat Metal and Spike Growth are effective for damage and control in combat.

Send me a DM! ILY All!Today I'm honored to introduce you to: MONARCH, occult ritual, MK ULTRA and Freemason survivor, Targeted Individual, skateboarder, energy art practitioner, nature and animal lover, mushroom hunter, gem and mineral collector, cannabis cultivator, plant medicine enthusiast, and another incredible male whistleblower stepping up to save the children, Eric James Brown. Eric was born in Cincinnati into a family with much historical confusion and inversion. Having been told he is a biological child of the parents who raised him, a DNA test later lin life and other compelling evidence suggests that this story told to Eric may, in fact, be a lie. Son of an adopted mother and a father who was 1 of 8 children and constantly surrounded by Freemasons and other secret members, ritualistic and occult abuse was something Eric endured as a child as far back as he can remember. Eric has made some harrowing connections to his mother through her work as a nurse including possible collusion with two different serial killers, and remembers being taken to a Knights of Columbus Lodge as a child by his father. Eric believes he has been a part of a Druidic ritual throughout his life, and also believes the final intentions of his abusers are to sacrifice him in a Wickerman ritual and cannibalize him. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Although Eric is still recovering his memories, the memory recollection he has had so far has led to some very dark rabbit holes that he is here to talk to us about today. And Eric still isn't free today - which is why he felt led to speak up. Eric is still being targeted today and has experienced horrific abuses even in the past few years - including 3 specific events involving hypnosis. He has been made a targeted individual and experiences gang-stalking as well as other targeting tactics that can be linked back to his family and their cult associations. It has only been about 6 months since Eric has had a surge of memory recall and today he is coming forth to share so his testimony is on record and to add his puzzle piece to the puzzle. I'm honored to have Eric on the show and ask that you please put down whatever you're doing and give this brave warrior your full attention as he speaks his truth on a public platform for the first time. We need more brave men speaking out and Eric is stepping up to help us continue to weave together this web of deception so we can make the world a safer place for our children once and for all! In Eric's own words: “It's like they created me just to destroy me, but I turned out too strong for them to succeed.” And after you hear Eric's testimony yourself, I know you will all agree with this statement as well! To protect Eric's safety, we are disclosing his full name and actual information about him in the podcast, and shielding the title and thumbnail to help provide a base level of public protection. Before I finish introducing today's guest - I wanted to give a couple reminders and updates: If you'd like to be on the podcast as a guest or share any information privately with me, please email me at imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com.

Ever felt the pull of ancient wisdom whispering through the leaves and stones around you? Join me as I sit down with UK druid Nimue Brown, unwrapping the mysteries of Druidry and its interwoven threads with nature's rhythm. Nimue unveils her spiritual journey, influenced by both pagan childhood whispers and the UK's rich natural tapestry. Our conversation meanders through her daily practices that echo with the chants of Awen, revealing how these rituals infuse serenity into her life. A surprising familial connection to another druid author adds a twist to her tale, illustrating the depth and interconnectedness of the Druidic community.Navigating the ebb and flow of spiritual practice, I get personal about combating the shadow of doubt with the brilliance of nature's solace, a struggle many of us face. Nimue and I dissect the duality of Druidic paths – the solitude of individual rituals against the shared energy of group ceremonies. We reflect on evolution within our practices, from the shedding of former rituals to the profound simplicity of oracle cards, and how these shifts have honed our spiritual resilience.The episode crescendos with a look at the influences shaping our Druidic journey, from myth-soaked literature to the soul-stirring melodies that led us to discover our place within the wider Druid collective. Nimue offers a lantern for those new to the path, encouraging an embrace of personal evolution. Finally, a heartfelt invitation extends to you, our listeners, to continue the dialogue online and stay tuned for the enchanting tales and insights awaiting in the wings of next week's episode of Your Average Witch.Visit Nimue's website here!Druid LifeSupport the Show.Support the show and get tons of bonus content, videos, monthly spell boxes, and more at CrepuscularConjuration.com!Or become a paying subscriber on Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1777532/supportWant to see if you're a good fit for the show?

[originally published on Patreon Oct 17, 2022] Today's the third of four horror movies for CrackpotoberFest 2022 - Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) aka Halloween 6. I'm joined by Blauer (@blauer_geist) to discuss the film. Blauer helps me walk us through the plot to Halloween 6, the cult of Thorn, and especially contextualizes the film within the Halloween franchise as a whole. Then, I discuss the Matamoros cult in relation to the film, and hopefully point out some things which go under-discussed when Matamoros comes up. episode art is the remains of Mark Kilroy Links: https://twitter.com/blauer_geist https://apocalypse-confidential.com/ Songs: Halloween Theme Brujerizmo by Brujeria el Padrino by Church of Misery

Over thousands of years, the priests and sages of the ancient world discovered that the design and location of certain structures had beneficial effects on the crops that sustained life. A body of traditional lore evolved, using architecture and ceremonies that made use of these wholly natural but mysterious effects. In The Secret of the Temple, John Michael Greer painstakingly rebuilds a body of lost knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and can be used again today.The Temple of Solomon was only one of many ancient structures that drew on the temple tradition.The insights of this tradition have been passed down through those in society tasked with protecting ancient wisdom, secret societies like the Knights Templar and the Freemasons. But over time, as cultures and technologies changed, the meaning of these cryptic symbols and rituals became obscured...until now. This book explores the esoteric body of knowledge that shaped the world of our forebears, gave rise to the world's most awe-inspiring temples and cathedrals, and continues to fuel speculation about powerful forces at work in our world.One of the most respected writers and teachers in the occult field today, John Michael Greer has written more than fifty books on esoteric traditions, nature spirituality, and the future of industrial society. An initiate in Druidic, Hermetic, and Masonic lineages, he served for twelve years as Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA). He lives in Rhode Island, USA with his wife Sara.
