Episode Title: Messages from the Other Side – Shifting Our Perspective on the Dead In this special Halloween/Samhain episode of The Flowering Daydream Podcast, we're diving into the mysteries of spirit communication and transforming how we think about the dead. “Messages from the Other Side” is all about connecting with our loved ones who have crossed over, exploring why they deserve our compassion, and why we should engage with them in a safe, respectful way. We discuss how every one of us can communicate with those no longer on the earthly plane, showing that connection with the spirit world doesn't need to be eerie or distant—it can be comforting, healing, and deeply meaningful. Join us as we share insights on overcoming the fear of the unknown, building intentional connections with spirit, and even practical ways to reach out to your loved ones with love and care. Whether through dreams, signs, or simple moments of presence, your loved ones are closer than you might think, ready to offer their guidance, love, and reassurance. This episode is your guide to tapping into that connection, shifting perspectives, and honoring the lives of those who've come before. Listen in as we transform how you experience “the other side,” opening a doorway to the timeless, loving bonds that continue well beyond this world.

For this haunted Wicked Problems – Climate Tech Conversations, Richard Delevan is joined by celebrated author Manda Scott, known for historical fiction, thrilling plots, and a gift for exploring deep-seated mythologies that shape human struggles.In this Halloween/Samhain episode, Scott takes us through her latest novel, Any Human Power, a genre-bending work that interweaves climate, technology, politics, and mythology to probe our existential crises. Halloween, or Samhain in Celtic tradition, is when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest—a fitting setting for a discussion blending the metaphysical with the political. We dive into how stories, myths, and beliefs profoundly shape our understanding of climate change—and our responses to it.Utopia, Dystopia… or Thrutopia?Scott argues that we face more than climate change; we're in a polycrisis—a web of interlinked existential threats that defy isolated solutions. Climate breakdown, economic disparity, and political polarization are all interwoven. Rather than focusing on dystopia, Scott introduces us to “Thrutopia,” stories that offer not only escape or survival but paths to reimagining governance, social structures, and our relationship with nature. In her view, we don't need heroes; we need collective transformation.The Role of Myth in Modern CrisesMythologies shape how we interpret reality and help us frame complex issues in ways that feel tangible. Scott's storytelling bridges the familiar with the visionary, drawing on Irish and Scottish influences that explore the liminal “between” spaces, echoing Samhain's themes. As she explains, this space “between” worlds encourages us to imagine beyond the typical bounds of existence—a lens through which we can more fully grasp the challenges before us.Changing Our Relationship with Power and TechnologyScott explores a key theme: the gap between technology's potential and its often-destructive application. Drawing on Taiwan's Audrey Tang's vision for tech as a unifying tool, Scott reimagines social media as something that builds communities, not conflict— essential for a sustainable future. Using insights from neuropsychology, she explains how power structures hijack our fears through “limbic system manipulation.” This, she argues, is not inevitable; it is simply a reflection of our system's structural failures. Her work calls us to confront these flaws and envision a fundamentally different world.Dive DeeperHer two podcasts, Accidental Gods and Dreaming Awake, explore regenerative futures, mythology, and spiritual aspects of climate action. Her courses offer ways to reconnect with the “web of life” and sustainable change.Among her influences are Ursula Le Guin's ideas on human power, Kim Stanley Robinson's climate fiction, and The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, which reimagines human history and societal structures.Manda Scott's novel, Any Human PowerPodcasts: Accidental Gods and Dreaming AwakeCourses: Thrutopia - Writing Our Way to a Future Hosted on Acast.

As the darkness of Halloween/Samhain and winter approaches, as the light wanes and the shadows lengthen, many of us feel a tug on our hearts. Perhaps it's more than the bittersweetness of summer's exit, but a deep and primordial call to go within. The dark journey to the Underworlds undertaken by Inanna or Persephone, the descending into the depths to shine a light on what's there and to ultimately return to the light. Changed. Evolved. Whole.My guest this week, Katharina Löwenherz, is no stranger to the mysteries of the darkness. We discuss how losing her mother at a tender age was a moment of heartrending loss--and darkness--that sparked a lifelong journey of profound transformation and evolution.

A second mythological theme we look at in this episode is dismembering and reassembling. This theme is shown through shamanic traditions and the myths of Dionysus, Osiris, Ymir, etc. We discuss why dismembering and reassembling would be important in the sexual instinct, and also how it might show up in an egoic way. We bring in some of our own dreams where this theme shows up.  Along with this mythology, there is also an aspect of ‘eating of the flesh'. Since the veil between this world and the realm of the dead is thin around the time of Halloween/Samhain, we get extra spooky in this conversation with topics of fleshy spiders and eating corpses.

Halloween doesn't have to end on October 31st! Today we celebrate Samhain and enter a period during which the veil between worlds is thin! In my own experience, this period lasts until mid-November. I am joined by Jason Mankey. He is a prolific author, podcast host, and witch. He has published nine books over the last eight years with Llewellyn. Jason is a third degree Gardnerian High Priest who, along with his wife Ari, operates two covens in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jason is a noted speaker at Pagan events across North American and Great Britain. We discuss the history of Samhain and Halloween, activities and ceremonies that can be performed throughout “Samhain Season”, and the practice of Drawing Down the Moon (in which a practitioner is temporarily inhabited by the consciousness of a deity)!

Black Eyed KidsBlack eyed kids, or BEK, sightings have been littering forums and websites since the late 1990's. Manifesting as children, these beings are anything but. As the name suggests, BEK's have completely black eyes with no distinguishable sclera or iris and much the same as vampires, they will ask for permission to enter your home or vehicle, usually requesting a lift or the use of a phone. Although the purpose of gaining entry is somewhat unclear, what is clear is they appear in child form to take advantage of our basic human instincts, to help and protect the vulnerable. Using manipulation and a form of hypnosis, if you do allow them in, illness and death reportedly follow shortly after. The earliest documented sighting was by journalist Brian Bethel from Texas, in the United States. His original post was dated 6th January 1998 and it detailed a disturbing encounter that took place late at night in the spring of 1996. He was parked in his car outside his local cable company and was using the light of a nearby movie theatre to write a cheque. The car park was seemingly deserted and being distracted with his paperwork, he hadn't noticed two children approach his car, until the elder of the two tapped on the driver's side window.Resources:Introduction - https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16581073/man-spots-ghostly-black-eyed-child/https://www.pararational.com/brian-bethel-the-black-eyed-kids/?msclkid=59d8d3fca88211ecaa3c9f59f90f2159Story 1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/t86ze/my_strange_encounter_with_an_old_woman_with_pitch/ Thanks so much DjMonkeydo!Story 2 - https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1pyokn/another_bek_story_this_halloween/Thanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.

You can find more information about your hosts on our podcast website.*This show contains strong language. Listener discretion is advised*----more---- Representation of Witches Growing up we observed depictions of witches being women outside of the status quo. In fairytales and folklore, they are described as ugly, old, and often living in solitude. Interestingly, our beloved Wizard of Oz had a significant hand in solidifying our imagery for green witches and the classic witch costume. However, the famous MGM version of the story also complicated our imagery when they gave us Glinda the good witch. In her glittering ball gown, she does not call herself a fairy godmother--she is a witch. If you recall, Glinda also asks Dorthy if she had brought her broomstick for easier travel. In the end, Dorthy used her own power to get home but she had to endure a journey before she discovered she held magic within her.  In our modern lives, folks are increasingly calling themselves a witch and diversifying our understanding of what witches look like. On WitchTok we see increasing representation of non-binary people practicing magic and offering mentorship. Currently the Peabody Essex Museum, in Salam Massachusetts, has an exhibit featuring the work of Frances F. Denny. Her project Major Arcana celebrates the diversity of this traditionally taboo identity in her portraits of witches.  Kitchen Witches It is true, Kitchen Witches were originally charms for the kitchen to ward off unwanted spirits in the heart of the home. For a Halloween-inspired craft, you might consider making your own.  Baby Soup and BroomsticksFor more on baby soup, you can read this article that explores some of the historical events behind our wild witch stories. As for why witches ride broomsticks...well it could have linkages to an old fertility ritual, but there is strong evidence to suggest that it was so they could go on trips. Other stories that surround Halloween do have roots in the old traditions of Samhain. For an overview of some of those traditions, see this post from our friends at Sea Witch Botanicals.  Witchhunts While we like to think of witchhunts as being a mere relic of the past, it is important to recognize that real people are physically harmed because of accusations of being a witch. For more consider this article in Scientific America or this piece that illustrates witch hunts as a modern global issue. For those looking for deeper homework, I offer a lecture from Dr. Silvia Federici. In this video, she discusses witch-hunts and their role in the expansion of capitalist accumulation alongside enclosure, enslavement, and land dispossession from women and Indigenous communities.  Finally, please read Lindy West's book The Witches are Coming.

Ritualize Your Life: Create Meaning & Magic Each Day

Want to create more meaning, connection & magic into your life? In this compelling episode discussed are the different types of rituals and how one can integrate them into the fabric of one's life which benefits the nervous system as well as one's psychological and spiritual health. Rituals are a bridge that allow us to pause and connect to the sanctity of life and to integrate the depth of our experiences in meaningful & wise ways. Included are tips to midwife both micro & macro rituals as well as a short guided meditation that you can use in your day-to-day life. SHOW NOTES: Being a Modern Mystic is to experience this planet of a place of magic. The trees, the waters, the stars and everything around us radiates magic and when we choose to practice living this way with simple reverence for all of these things and for our existence, we are dancing with the divine. We realize we aren't the choreographers and don't run the dance, but we can participate in the dance.  Imagination is a gateway to experiencing the sacred. It is the bridge to spirit and to that which lies beneath and beyond the surface. Kids have great access to their imaginations especially until the age of 7 or 8. They often start to digest mass culture messages about magic and imagination so like adults, very helpful to help them continue to connect to and develop it. “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” ~ Albert Einstein 2 Types of Ritual: Maintenance - Things we do daily, or consistently that keep us centered and thread us to what we believe and to Source. Radical - A ritual with the intention of change. Things to consider when creating a ritual: Do I want a witness or people around me? Start off keeping ritual actions simple. It's our ascribing meaning to them which creates their power. Rites of passage such as a coming of age (around menstruation or at 13), beginnings, endings or shifting of things such changing jobs, careers, marriages, divorces, seasons, living spaces, retiring, pregnancy, marriage or simply letting go or inviting new ways of being into one's life. Think of approaching milestones that feel important. Or maybe you want to invoke reverence and connection to nature, or to a political or social cause you feel passionate about. Ideas for rituals can include creating a threshold to walk through delineating the before and after experience. Ritual can also be seen as enacting what is going on on the inside psychologically, on the out. Sometimes it can be hard to feel like one knows what to do when about to have a big experience. There is SUCH a craving for this brave work in our modern day world to say, “I want a ritual.” All people who partake in ritual are fed by it, not just the person whom the ritual is featuring. Be creative and see what you feel drawn towards doing and yet, also be mindful of appropriation and know the source of where impulses are coming from if you are inspired to do things you've seen or heard about. Beginner ritual tip: It's a VERY good idea to start simply and to not over complicate. Then you can see where that expands naturally. Are ideas for creating a ritual comfortable to me, achievable to me, and not taking direspetcably from another tradition. Other people are fed by the central person in ritual. It can be healing for all with its gravitas, beauty and permission to others to pause when they have a parallel experience. Day to day ideas for a morning ritual : water ritual (just thank the water as you drink a glass of it). Micro rituals count as rituals don't have to be long . They can change relationships to water, politics and to the world around you. One thing a day like giving thanks for sunshine and air as you pause to acknowledge the sacredness & magic of it. Also the practice of leaving worries at the door every time you enter the house can be a sweet one. As you start simple (meaningful and small) and it can ultimately burgeon into something bigger or not. Once it grows, you could invite others in to go from a maintenance ritual into radical level ritual. Start the day with sacred action: prayer, offering, incense or offering breakfast to spirits of the Universe. Many people struggle with looking at their phones as the first action of the day. This jolts the nervous system. Instead, protect first the sacred moments of the day as sacred moments and refrain from technology as your first actions of engagement. Many traditions hold how the morning is an opportunity to set the tone for your day; be conscious of what the first moments are and start with a sacred beginning. Walk to a window, look outside and take 3 breaths before stepping into the tangible, material facts of our lives. Various healing and spiritual traditions talk about how it's a psychological and spiritual deep nervous system deep reset opportunity to set the tone of a new day in this mindful way. If we jump onto technology, we go from relax and restore mode to fight flight freeze. After sleep we are closer to remembering our dance with the Divine and our intuition. Ritual heals our nervous system from a psychological perspective.  Dreams are a whole other branch of engaging with the gateway of imagination and other realms. Consider keeping a dream journal under your bed to record dreams. In dreams we access pathways to the liminal realms. Rituals surrounding death are powerful and important. Death and conversations surrounding it are not always processed or normalized in some modern cultures like the US. For people close to dying, you can gather things that remind you of them and items that bring them close to you. Light a candle that represents Spirit or Love, and hold vigil. Sit with memories of this person, sing and talk aloud to them. You can bridge your imagination capacity of your energy to travel to places you can't physically go to be with them! Our hearts are with them and treating your ritual time as if you are with them is a powerful act that matters to you both! For people who've passed, continue to honor them. Halloween/Samhain for many places in the northern hemisphere due to the relationship with season (all crops are harvested and the earth going into winter mode) is a point in time that has been acknowledged in many lands as close to spirit. You can pick a certain time of the year to gather pictures of family and even political or creative people you admire. Tell stories and talk about them. Say their names and/or offer them gifts. Look at their faces and in doing so you bring their energy into the present moment. You could also honor loved ones who have passed over on the day they were born or the day they passed. Rituals created like these integrate and normalize death as transitional times to be honored with full reverence and attention. There is so much we can't see but can feel. Death is a hard and sad part of it but it is an  important portal that can help us understand the world of spirit and ritual allows us to feel we can maintain a relationship with loved ones who have crossed. Death is part of the cycle of nature and if we bypass its lessons and ritualization, we miss out on this phase of life's curriculum. The proliferation and popularity of terms for healers and people who hold deep wisdom such as herbalists, witches, wizards, shamans and healers. These traditions all have the common denominator of helping people live with more compassion and connection to sacred aspects of nature and of themselves, and offer the sense of how our own lives are intricately connected with all beings on the planet. They help people to find healing and meaning sometimes desperately needed. “Feminism” in healing and mystic circles of collective consciousness and the usage of this term isn't always happening yet. The claiming and reclamation of this important word and its understanding, definition and belief which is equality for all genders . Still in this world we do not have equality or justice for women, and it's a huge issue still. It could be because especially white feminist have been gatekeepers of spirituality in the west at least and that's been painful for people not white. Feminism might have felt code for not trans inclusive either historically. It is important to be sensitive to these aforementioned points. “Intersectional Feminism” great word to use to honor this history. Gender identity is one aspect of lived experience. What it means to be a woman changes with cultural heritage, race and socio-economic status. Trans-inclusive and anti-racism intersectional feminism engages with the value of all women's lives, and the holiness of being a woman as we work to reclaim and refine our collective experience of this word. The reemergence of Goddess archetypes and focus in various traditions all over the world is prevalent in many mindfulness and mystical communities. The power of working Goddesses and Gods and how to do so from another culture. There is so much Greek mythology in American pop culture but next to nothing from other cultures in the world in the US. Contemplate what are the other goddesses of the moon like Artemis? Research and ask yourself, who else is out there and what else is out there? Your ancestors have beautiful ancestral belief systems and lineages and this studying helps us to see each other in the here and now and our roots in doing so. Bringing them into ritual can be very healing and inclusive. We can research these and explore ancestral lines, archetypes and energy within them. Gods AND Goddess work and integration into practices can be profound! Magic Meditation: Breath IN the magic of all of creation. Breath OUT your own sacred magic.

A spooky one for Halloween/Samhain! Raquel talks about how much this scared her and her sorority sisters when it first came out. Raphael talks about seeing the re-release in theatres and not being so impressed. How did Vatican II influence the making of this movie? What's scarier, demonic possession or a slasher killer? Is this inherently a Boomer movie cause it's the last time you could scare people this way? The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through and through, and her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky Millenial punk rocker, former music journalist, and current film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film for the two of them to dissect and see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of the movies. Feel free to write to us! Give us some film suggestions at generationsplice@gmail.com or @gensplicepod on Twitter. Raphael is on Twitter at @citycelluloid. You can find his film writing at cinefile.info and film-cred.com The show is produced by The Martinez Family & the show's theme song was written, performed, & produced by Raphael.

Breaking The Third Wall Through Music's Mission statement: The mission of Breaking The Third Wall Through Music is to break the barriers between ableism and music, by bringing a wide range of musicians, regardless of disability, instrument, background, and field of interested across all genres to chat. This week I had a friend of mine, Emily Hanna on to talk about a wide range of topics... A note from Emily: " Hello there. I'm Em or M (either spelling is fine). I'm currently an undergrad student majoring in psychology; going into animal behavioural psychology. I was formerly a music education student, but I realized that it wasn't the right path in life for me. Music and creativity in general have always been an integral part of my life; whether I'm performing in a jazz band or choosing specific background music for specific moments in a Dungeons & Dragons. I have done various studies on the relationship between music and emotion, how music affects the brain, and the relationship between animals and certain genres of music. I look forward to contributing what I can to your podcast!" *All podcasts are available on Spotify!* Our media: Facebook and Spotify @BreakingTheThirdWallInMusic
