Podcasts about harvest festivals

Welcome to the first in a pair mini-episodes on Harvest Festivals Around the World! Today, Susan Barocas teaches me about the ancient Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot, from its origins many thousands of years ago right up to this very autumn in Susan's own backyard in Washington DC. Sukkot commemorates both the Jewish journey through the wilderness and the harvest season. Each year during this eight-day festival, Susan along with Jewish families all around the world, build and decorate sukkahs—temporary outdoor shelters inspired by those used during the Jews in ancient harvest seasons. Families gather in these sukkahs to share meals, welcome guests (both real and symbolic), and reflect on God's provision of food, shelter, and divine peace. Susan also shares about culinary traditions tied to Sukkot, particularly her family's recipes that came from the Iberian peninsula. Just as she did in her first episode with me, Susan reflects on how food sustained, differentiated, and at times, even betrayed the Jewish people.

This episode of The American Tapestry Project begins a series exploring those things Americans love in common – holidays! How many holidays do Americans celebrate? Where did they originate? In Harvest Festivals, we begin that exploration by examining Halloween's roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, check out one or two Halloween songs and then ask “When was the first Thanksgiving”? What actually happened at Plymouth Plantation in 1622? Who were Sarah Josepha Hale, sometimes called the “Mother of Thanksgiving” and Lydia Maria Child – two women who helped define how Americans celebrate? And concludes by asking “Why is Thanksgiving in late Novemeber?” and listening to a reading of Child's “Over the woods to grandfather's house we go”. “

In this episode we're diving deep into the magic and meaning of harvest season. We are exploring the three harvest festivals— Lughnasadh, Mabon, and Samhain—and how they guide us through the transition from the fiery energy of summer to the introspective depths of autumn. Get practical insights on how to align with the rhythms of the season, harvest your personal growth, and prepare for the darker months ahead. Perfect for those ready to embrace shadow work, deepen their spiritual practice, and make the most of the harvest season. thesistersenchanted.com

Jim Franks discusses Exodus 23:14-16—“Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year: You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty); and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.”This episode is a companion to the following Daily Bible Verse post: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/bible/blog/gods-harvest-festivals/Verse by Verse releases every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

CW: mention of conservative views on abortion, spiritual bypassing, overall spiritual trauma, mention of sacrifice Happy Samhain, Halloween, All Hallow's Eve, All Saints' Eve, Reformation Day -- whatever you may call it, we hope that you celebrate it well. This week Bonnie and Daniel interview Delaney Reddell, a teacher of Celtic folklore in Los Angeles. Delaney has her MSc from the University of Edinburgh in Literature and Society: Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Victorian. She is also engaged to a dope guy in Ireland and will be moving there in a year, meaning she has spent a lot of time in the culture. Delaney walks us through how Samhain got us to Halloween and later to Harvest Festivals because hAlLoWeEn Is SaTaNiC and all of that stupidity. Later we discuss a stupid article by the Gospel Coalition where a woman equates abortion to hiring a hit man (what?). Afterwards, Daniel shares a run-in with Pastor Bruce.

Our lawyers tell us that this is technically not fan-fiction so please do not go on the internet and tell everyone we wrote fan-fiction because we didn't, technically. Enjoy! --- We use the song '5 Min Call' by LAKEY INSPIRED as our intro and outro. Give it a listen here. We also used the songs, Forbidden Resurrection, Ancient Basement, and Lucid Nightmare off of Tim Kulig's collection of very spooky songs on the album Petrifications.

To celebrate the recent autumnal equinox and harvest moon, our episode this week is dedicated to harvest festivals around the world. We discuss the origins of harvest season, as well as the mythology, folklore, and legends from around the world that explain the turn of the seasons. Additionally, we talk about all the great feasts and festivals during this time, in particular those featuring adult (i.e. alcoholic) beverages - we're looking at you, Greeks and Germans. In response to some of your voice messages on Anchor asking to hear more about the harvest daemons Ara mentioned in our Olga of Kiev episode, we discuss grain-y werewolves, spiteful field tricksters, iron-breasted ergot-infested hags, and daemons that take self-care a bit too seriously. Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers and a considerable bashing of Beowulf while simultaneously hyping up Grendel's MILF. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wicked-weird-and-grim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wicked-weird-and-grim/support

It can be difficult sometimes to connect with the eight pagan sabbats that make up the Wheel of the Year, as they are rooted in ancient Celtic agricultural festivals that don't really have a lot of bearing on our 21st century lives.  But the three harvest festivals of Lammas, the Autumn Equinox, and Samhain in August, September, and October usher in most witches' favorite season: fall!  These three festivals are about celebrating the abundance of the harvest - both agriculturally and metaphorically. It's a beautiful time for reflection, gathering, gratitude, shadow work, and celebration.  Catch my tips for celebrating these three festivals in the 21st century, then come and share how you're celebrating them in my free Facebook group for Empowered Modern Witches!

Episode #33: Death and the Harvest Festivals. During this episode, we discuss Death. Don’t run away! You will find comfort here. We are in the Harvest phase of the year. These Pagan festivals encompass Lammas (August 2), Mabon (Autumn Equinox, around September 16), and All Hallows (October 31-November 1). These are about the earth and living full lives on the earth. We look within and sort out all we have learned this year, how we have grown, and how we are able to face change. When we think about death it is not only the passing of time and loved ones. We take a look at going within, withdrawing for healing and self-reflection, facing our shadows and our light, letting go of sorrow, pain, fear, and remembering all the good we have gained through this year that serves us so positively. We take benefit during this time of year. We discuss “death to new life.”  Let’s join hands as we find good times, hope, and playful memories as we go farther into this fast moving year!

This week's guest is Chris Langeler, the Executive Director of The West Seattle Helpline, a community-based organization that provides emergency services to local families and individuals to prevent homelessness and other detrimental poverty-related outcomes.  He is also the Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association, one of the largest affordable housing providers in West Seattle. Highlights From This Episode: Chris' road to serving the community where he is now started back with influence from both his parents, with their complimentary perspectives. His mom did lots of compassionate work with young people (small picture focused on individuals) His dad was a bit of an entrepreneur, having founded a tech company in Portland, OR and very systemically &, logically (big picture focused on why things are the way they are). Early on, he developed an interest in homelessness and housing and other racial and social justice aspects of non profit and public policy work. Chris came to Seattle for the graduate program at the University of Washington (Evans School of Public Policy and Governance), focusing on non-profit management and public policy. Worked on political campaigns while at UW, working in Senior Patty Murray's office as part of undergraduate intern program. The W.S. Helpline is designed to be a little further "up stream" in peoples lives, to help them make a small "diversion" along their path, before life situations thrusts them into poverty or if they need help but don't qualify for the more conventional low-income or government programs. This additionally is more cost effective and efficient to help an individual or family make a small diversion to get back to a healthy place of self-sufficiency, rather than waiting until they are overwhelmed with catastrophic events or fall into poverty... when the cost, effort and likelihood of getting them back to a good place is much harder and much more taxing on an already strained social 'safety-net' system.  Chris was the first full-time staff member when he started nearly 2 years ago. Now they have 3 full-time staff and 1 part time. Program Manager - Teresa Operations Coordinator - Joan Development and Communications Coordinator - Lala They have become a more effective and visible organization by picking the 'low hanging fruit' and leveraging resources that are readily available. Created a social media strategy. Tuning up the website so its easy for people to find out more about WS Helpline. Partnering with organizations that have larger "megaphones". Big shout out to the enormously helpful partners - the West Seattle Blog and West Seattle Herald. And now partnering with The Sea-Town Podcast, to get the WS Helpline's message to our "4 million listeners"... (ok, not nearly that many, but working towards it). Being present in community events like the West Seattle Summer Fest and Harvest Festivals. What they love most about working for the organization - The relationships built with the volunteers, people they serve, staff and community members. The thing that gets Chris most excited is the potential for what can be done. Their serves and programs are the main way they help the community but giving people the opportunity to volunteer and serve and have an impact in their own community is good for them too. The future of the WS Helpline: In next couple years, grow out the core of the programs, focus on outreach to gain greatest visibility to everyone in West Seattle, so everyone who may need their services, know about them. Maintain 100% ability to help all eligible people who ask for assistance. Increase funding, bus ticket numbers and expand clothing distribution center. In next 2-3 years, the goal is to be able to help 3-4 times as many people as they are now... people who may not know about them now. Their biggest challenges when he started and biggest challenges now - So many hats to wear and so much to do to keep the organization running, serve the needs of the clients, while also building relationships with other non-profits in the area to make everyones efforts more effective. WS Helpline has been around a while but until recently, they did not have close relationships with any of the other non-profit organizations that are also serving the West Seattle community, like the White Center Food Bank, West Seattle Food Bank, West Side Baby, SW Youth and Family Services, Saint Vincent De Paul... and even some of the larger YWCA and YMCA. The only way we get this work done, is by working together and collaborating with other non-profits in the area. Some of Chris's mentors (they have really taken their organizations to the next level in the last few years): Nancy Woodland, the Executive Director of West Side Baby (check out her interview on episode #025). Fran Yeats, the Executive Director of the West Seattle Food Bank. Steve Daschle, the Executive Director of SW Youth and Family Services. When Chris started at the WS Helpline (not quite 2 years ago), they were having to turn 2 out of 3 eligible people away... but in 2016, they had the funds to not have to turn down any eligible requests for help. Specific story of how they helped a particular family: WS Helpline is one of the few organizations equipped to handle unusual situations that fall outside the realm of what most non-proft and gov. organizations are setup to handle. Usually clients that need help are due to a combination of bad circumstances all coming together at one time (not just an isolated bad decision or circumstance). Situations in which most people are not equipped to handle and would take most of us out (medial emergency + loosing a job + family crisis... all happen at once). This family needed the funding to get their life's possessions out of storage, as they were getting back on their feet... being on the brink of loosing everything they own, except for the clothes on their back - which would have really set this family back and make it much harder for them to get on their feet and move forward. The best advice they have ever received - Consider the best practices but at some point, you just have to rely on what you know, make a decision and go with it. Trust your instincts... there is never going to be 100% certainty or a "right answer" in every situation or task to be completed. A defining moment or experience - After completing his undergraduate degree, Chris spent some time in Costa Rica, working with South American Refugees. So many of these families living on the brink of survival had to make the life and death choices between spending money on food or required life-saving medicine for one of their kids. While the government provided universal health care at no cost, you had to be a citizen to qualify for it, so didn't have access to the medical care they needed. Not being a citizen also made it very difficult to find employment. This family and 15,000 other refugees were in a situation where they were struggling just to get their basic needs met on a daily basis. The emotional impact of those families being in such dire circumstances, at no fault of their own left a profound impact on Chris and had him asking the question, "How do we set the system up so that this never happens to anybody?". This question plays out in the USA regarding our immigration laws, access to health care needs and a basic social safety net as well as the ability to get a job. This experience really drove Chris' pursuit of what kind of work can he do and policies to influence to make a difference in the lives of people facing similar hardship. These issues need to be addressed at both the human level and the system level. Chris is a really big fan of and encourages people to give and get involved locally; Get to know the people in your neighborhood and find ways to be there for them, connect with them and build the community that your in. For the WS Helpline, that includes signing up to volunteer at their clothing bank, helping sort or hand out clothes to people in the community who need them or volunteering to answer the phone at the hotline to help put them in touch with the resources to help them. Especially for their rent and utility assistance programs, funding the organization by becoming a monthly donor are huge in making sure people don't have to be turned away when they are in need. The average assistance given per family for the program is $325... that is $325 difference between a family on the streets or a family safely in their house and moving on to better things. That is a small price in the grand scheme of things, especially when studies on homelessness say that there is $15,000 to $25,000 in public costs for one person being homeless for a year.

October is harvest time here in the United States. As an alternative to Halloween, many of our churches plan Harvest Festivals for family fun. There are three seasonal conditions of the harvest: when the crop is green (not ripe), when it is white (ideal for harvesting), and when it rots. Jesus said, in John 4:35, Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.   In This Episode We Look At: Today is the day to reach the lost What holds us back from having an urgency to reach the Lost? A failure to consider their eternal condition/fate The temporal outlook   Using our finances to impact eternity The Tithe–God uses the tithe for many things: Supporting the Pastor who dedicates his life to study, preaching the Word, reaching the Lost, and disciplining new believers. Meeting the financial needs of the church; property, utilities, benevolence, and outreach.   Supporting missionaries–financial resources are needed in order to bring the gospel to all nations.   We can also buy Bibles and gospel tracts. The Gideons are a good example (hotel rooms, graduation, military). Souls have been saved through finding a Bible in a hotel room.   We can send money to a Bible-translating ministry; who will print and distribute The Bible in other languages.   Using our time to reach the lost What if you carried gospel tracts each day and determined not to go home until you've handed out at least one tract? What if you purposed to ask at least one person each day about their eternal security?   Today's Resources and Links: The Gideons International Done, what most religions don't tell you about the Bible, Cary Schmidt   One Thing You Can Do Today to Improve Your Faith and Finances: Get stocked up on some good gospel tracts and purpose to hand one out every day before the sun sets. Ask God to bring you to a soul who needs the Savior!   What Are Your Thoughts? If you have a question or comment about today's topic, we invite you to share your thoughts.

Our Halloween Special! We dive into a movie review of the Detroit-centric “It Follows”. We talk about the confusing time setting of the movie, what exactly happened at the beach and in the hospital, how incredible the ending is, and whether or not the tension ever pays off. We also wonder how a demon gets passed along in a four-way and whether or not this movie is actually scary. We compare Halloween to the other holidays and see where it falls. We share stories about exterior decorations. Jason grinds some gears about Harvest Festivals and wonders aloud if we wouldRead On
