Anna Lisa Wärnlöf, alias Claque, har aldrig fått en framträdande plats i den svenska litteraturen. Men hon är en av våra stora stilister, tycker Ulrika Knutson som hyllar Pella-böckernas skapare. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2017. Varför är det så svårt att tala om det som betytt allra mest, också böcker? Därför att man är rädd att avslöja sitt innersta, förstås, och finna det banalt. Men om det skulle vara så, så är det inte Anna-Lisa Wärnlöfs fel. Någon sa häromdagen att om Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf, med signaturen Claque, hade varit karl, så hade hon stått ordentligt synlig på klassikerhyllan: avdelningen stilister, mellan Per Rådström och Claes Hylinger. Visst skulle det vara så! Men förklädd till flickbok och kåseri är Claque för alltid utstraffad från den riktiga litteraturen. Ha. På ofattbara sju år, 1958-1965 skriver hon de fyra romanerna om Pella, tre om den buttra Fredrike och hennes krets, och så den märkliga barndomsbiografin ”Boken om Agnes”, 1963. Detta är Claques litterära verk och värld, som nu alltså lever ett rikt liv under klassikerhyllan, under radarn, och älskas hett i hemlighet. Hon går som ett mycel genom bibiotek och antikvariat. Varhelst du minst anar det kan du hitta en läsare flaskmatad med Pella-sentenser. De sitter som slaktstämplar, går aldrig ur. Den som först kom ut ur garderoben som Pella-beroende var Gun-Britt Sundström, ett stilistiskt barn av Sören Kirkegaard – och Claque. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf – född 1911, död 1987 – var som mest verksam under det tidiga sextiotalet, samtida med miljonprogrammet. Hennes ton gycklar med det andliga rivningsraseriet, den snabba nivelleringen i demokratins namn; en estetisk protest besläktad med Olle Adolphsons visor. Hos Claque finns samma ironiska melankoli, och sinne för ordens poesi. Hos Olle var det "nedisad Volvo med släp", och "kokt kummel med äggsås". Anna-Lisa har samma blick för det konkreta. Majorskan sitter i skymningen och "njuter av att ha två tummar", Pella kräks i duffelkragen vid tanken på att trassla till altaret i tolv meter organza. I fyrtio år övade hon sig som kåsör i Svenska Dagbladet, uppskattad men skygg. På fyrtio år satte hon inte sin fot på redaktionen. Men lilla Pella och farmor Majorskan och tant Signhild levde redan och verkade för fullt i tidningen när Wärnlöf romandebuterade med ”Pellas bok” 1958. När jag mötte Pella i början av sjuttiotalet var de här böckerna bara tio-femton år gamla, ändå speglade de en försvunnen värld, med exotiska inslag av flickskolor, hembiträden och bostadsbrist. Och spridda skurar av borgerlig bildning, som om det hade varit något fullt normalt och ingenting att oroa sig över. Pella själv läste böcker av Proust, Dickens och Cora Sandel – och hon gjorde det med ett självklart välbehag, utan känslor av skam. Detta var inte förenligt med min tonårskultur i början av sjuttiotalet, som utspelade sig i en atmosfär av V-jeans, tristess och symfonisk rock. Om jag hade velat spegla den atmosfären i litteratur så gav Kerstin Thorvall, Sven Wernström och Max Lundgren utmärkta möjligheter, i ungdomsromanens guldålder. Men böckerna om Pella ägnar sig inte bara åt spegling, utan gläntar på kommande liv. De kan man – till stora delar – läsa om, och växa med. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf låter tonåringens världsbild möta riktigt gamla människors, och mycket små barns. En åtta månaders baby kan vara en stark personlighet hos Claque, som kan väcka dina antipatier också. Att föräldrar och barn, särskilt mödrar och barn, inte självklart finner varandra är en del av Claqueböckernas tidlösa innehåll. Och oavsett ålder får alla inblandade behålla sin integritet – och sina passioner. Passion kan uttryckas av också av det lilla barnet. Som i ”Boken om Agnes”, när småflickorna har skiljts åt och katastrofen ligger i öppen dager. Om hjärtat är krossat spelar det ingen roll om man är sex eller sextio år. Så här uttrycker sig den lilla Anna-Lisa: "Jag var Agneslös, och inte mer med det. Hur gör man när man hänger sig? Jag hade en pilbåge. Kanalen." Humor kan vara hjärtskärande, om den paras med livsinsikt. Att våra personligheter är så oföränderliga, att vi liknar oss själva som barn, är också en drabbande insikt. Inte särskilt behaglig. Det borde vi tänka lite mer på i vår tid, när vi vuxna är så stressade att vi inte står ut med att se barnen ha tråkigt. Eller ens tanken på att de har tråkigt! Hur de egentligen har det orkar vi inte ta reda på. Läste nyss en rubrik om att folk minutplanerar barnkalasen för att för död och pina inte riskera att barnen ser sin egen leda i vitögat. Vad skulle inte Claque kunna ha gjort av det ämnet? Vissa ämnen har hon klokt avstått ifrån – sexualiteten till exempel. Det bidrar till den goda tidlösheten. Erotiken uttrycks mer genom längtan och bilder som man inte glömmer: som Älskar du mig? sa Ulf Jacob. Obetydligt, sa jag, och tänderna mjuknade i min mun. Jag kan inte minnas att jag saknade explicit erotik – den fanns ju att tillgå överallt annars, för den som var läskunnig. Nej, Pella tillfredsställde andra behov. De två avgörande var den moralfilosofiska diskussionen, och stilens narkomani. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöfs stil är beroendeframkallande. Och smittsam. En pretentiös hållning ser jag automatiskt som "ett öde stort som en mössa". Att det inte är min egen bild ha jag glömt för länge sedan. Men ingen når Claques avvägda blandning av under- och överdrifter, och utförda aforismer, som kan rymma en världsbild: "Om ett barn ber om ett snöre, avfärda det inte med en kyss. Ge det ett snöre". Punktens placering är också viktig. Den surt förvärvade slutsatsens markering. Ge det ett snöre. Claque strör gärna ut små hälsningar till egna inspirationskällor. Den märkligaste möter vi i Pellas andra bok, där hon just har blivit kär i Ulf Jacob. På artonårsdagen ger han henne en nött gammal bok: "Läs den tös, du får den. Den är skriven för sådana som du och jag." Den repliken är lömsk, riktad till intellektuella flickstackare med garden nere – den går via trosorna, kan man säga. Men om man ska sublimera den boken får man jobba duktigt. Boken är ”En drömmares dagbok”, av den schweiziske artonhundratalsförfattaren Henri Frederic Amiel. Det blir en ganska rolig effekt när Pella och Ulf Jacob står och smusslar med Amiel, samtidigt som deras kompisar diggar Sinatra och Bill Haley på skivspelaren i rummet intill. Amiels ”En drömmares dagbok” blev på sin tid kult bland hyperkänsliga esteter i hela Europa, kärleksfullt översatt av en av den svenska litteraturens mest ömhudade kritiker, nämligen Klara Johanson; hon som recenserade allt, som inte kunde låta bli att recensera solnedgången. Ett nytt drama varje kväl. Klara Johansons andra stora idol var för övrigt Fredrika Bremer, vars spetsprydliga feminism viftar fram överallt i Pellas farmor Majorskans referenser. Klara Johanson är en av Claques viktiga förebilder bland estetiska ironiker – Oscar Wilde en annan – och så förstås Cora Sandel och Marcel Proust. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf bakar också Madeleinekakor, med kärlek och smör, och psykiska trauman. En bild som återkommer i flera av böckerna, troligen självupplevd, är när några några clowner fallit i vattnet, och människorna på stranden skrattar av hjärtans lust, men tystnar när en av clownerna bärs bort, drunknad. Barnet grips av en förlamande ödslighet, identiteten brister. Som det står i ”Boken om Agnes”: "Det slog mig att jag kanske inte var någon liten flicka. Kanske var jag en pojke. Kanske var jag ett troll eller möjligen något slags djur." Det är det som alla Claques texter handlar om. Att skrapa ihop de spridda bitarna av sig själv, till ett slags mönster.

Présenté par Jeff - Partie HECATE à 00:27:44Pour ce nouveau numéro de Repas de Corbeaux, nous partons en voyage littéraire à travers plusieurs albums qui, chacun à leur manière, placent les récits incarnés au cœur de leur démarche artistique. Notre périple passera par le black metal mélodique d'HECATE qui présente son nouvel album Comment Est La Nuit ? Pour parler de ce nouveau disque, nous discutons avec les cinq membres du groupe. Aujourd'hui, le batteur et parolier Nicolas Bristot, dit Silence, est le seul membre fondateur encore présent. Il est désormais accompagné des chanteurs Aharon (Griffon, A/Oratos) et Thomas DM (Helioss, Astral Lore) pour porter ses textes. Dans un premier temps, nous évoquerons les légendes régionales de Malebeste, la fresque philosophique de Misanthrope etla mélancolie existentielle d'Impure Wilhelmina. Nous allons explorer des œuvres où la musique devient le prolongement d'univers littéraires, de mythes, de souvenirs et d'expériences profondément incarnées. Une émission placée sous le signe des récits vécus, des imaginaires en mouvement et de cette capacité qu'a le metal à transformer les mots en sensations. 

This Week Opens Your Highest Timeline — But Only If You Choose It. A rare convergence of fate, truth, and magic is unfolding. This week brings one of the most powerful astrology alignments of the year: Venus conjunct Jupiter, Hecate on the North Node, Uranus square the Nodes of Fate, and a Gemini New Moon that opens the door to an entirely new chapter.

Hécate Brimo é um epíteto (um título ou qualidade) da deusa grega Hécate. A palavra Brimo (Βριμώ, em grego antigo) significa "A Terrível", "A Furiosa" ou "A Colérica".​Quando Hécate é referenciada ou invocada sob este nome, o foco está em sua face mais sombria, implacável e temível, profundamente ligada ao Submundo (Inframundo) e à feitiçaria.​A Origem do Termo​O nome deriva do verbo grego brimaomai, que remete a rugir, estalar (como o som das chamas) ou espumar de raiva. Por isso, Hécate Brimo é frequentemente associada ao fogo crepitante de suas tochas, à ira divina e à punição inexorável.​Nos textos antigos e rituais mágicos:​Rainha dos Mortos: Brimo era usada para descrever a deusa enquanto caminhante noturna do submundo, acompanhada por cães espectrais e liderando as almas inquietas.​Magia e Necromancia: No épico Os Argonautas, a feiticeira Medeia invoca especificamente Hécate Brimo durante a noite ao colher raízes mortais e praticar ritos sombrios, clamando por seu poder absoluto sobre a vida e a morte.​Um detalhe histórico: Brimo não era um título exclusivo de Hécate. Na religião grega antiga, esse epíteto também era aplicado a outras deusas quando assumiam posturas vingativas ou ligadas à terra dos mortos — como Perséfone (Rainha do Submundo), Deméter (quando enfurecida e de luto pela perda da filha) e Cibele.​O Papel da Face "Brimo"​Enquanto Hécate possui facetas de guia amorosa (Phosphoros, a que traz a luz) ou de guardiã das portas e lares (Propylaia), a face Brimo representa:​Força Destrutiva e Purificadora: O poder de destruir a negatividade, afastar o mal e punir aqueles que quebram juramentos.​Proteção Feroz: É a fúria implacável de uma guardiã protegendo os seus. É a ira justificada que não recua diante de uma ameaça.​O Terror do Desconhecido: O medo natural e reverencial que os antigos gregos sentiam em relação à morte, aos espíritos e às forças invisíveis da noite.

She has a mixed ancestry of different faiths and she found her way towards her own journey. Kardela Mohamed joins us to discuss the titular topic of divination. But we didn't limit ourselves to that. From French Cajun influences to Islam and the Caribbean mix of Puerto Rico, we find a discovery of spiritualism and enlightenment. From there, we get to being a medium, reading tarot and divination. We also meet Hecate and you'll find out why she's involved.

June is changing the rules. Are you ready for the Return of Magic? After a relentless period of shedding, truth-bombing, and “rip-the-Band-Aid-off” energy, the first week of June brings a massive, fated frequency shift. We are moving out of the cocoon and into a three-point arc of initiation, grace, and new human embodiment. In this episode, Sabrina Lynn reveals the “Return to Magic” arc moving through June 1st–7th, showing you how to stop watching the “avalanche” of the old world and start attuning to the gold veins of abundance available right now. The 3-Point Arc of June 1st–7th: 1⃣ The Nervous System Exhale (Mon-Tue): As Mercury enters Cancer and the Sun sextiles Saturn, a sacred reprieve opens. This isn’t just rest; it's the “landing” required to access your deepest intuitive gold. 2⃣ The Return to Magic (Wed-Sat): The “Grace-Bombing Magicians” (Venus, Isis, Osiris, & Hygeia) are in a high-initiatory conjunction. We explore how to stop watching the “avalanche” of the old world and start attuning to the miracles hidden in the collapse. 3⃣ The Crossroads of Destiny (Sun): Hecate and Mary Magdalene meet on the Nodes of Fate while Uranus squares the destiny line. This is the “Chicken Wings” moment—the choice to stop crawling and finally start using your wings. What we dive into: • The Avalanche vs. The Gold Veins: Why where you place your life force this week determines your next 6 months. • High-Voltage Initiations: Why you might feel “crunchy” or “on the edge” right before a massive breakthrough. • The Mother of Magic: An invitation into the vast mystery school of the Goddess Isis. • Embodying the New Human: Moving from deconstruction to actual frequency embodiment. It's time to move from deconstruction to actual frequency embodiment. Are you ready to claim the magic?

What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode? We talk with Ivy of Ivy Tuning In about building an eclectic witch practice that honors culture, animals, and personal autonomy without turning spirituality into a guilt trap. The conversation moves from Hecate-inspired roadside rituals to astrology and Reiki, with a steady focus on consent, representation, and doing what actually works in real life. • defining “witch” as autonomy and critical thinking • eclectic practice shaped by Hispanic cultural roots and practical intention • cognitive kindness and dropping guilt about consistency • honoring animals and lost souls through Hecate at the crossroads • cats as models for boundaries, consent, and regulation • guardian angel prayer as comfort and protection at night • comfort food as family culture and spiritual grounding • naming misogyny and racism in magical communities and expanding representation • simple spellwork like freezer spells, candle magic, offerings, and a lived-in altar • Reiki attunement and astrology as interpretable “weather,” including Jupiter and Capricorn themes Follow Ivy below:Ivytuningin.comFollow her on tiktok!Follow her on instagram!Support the showSupport 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?

We're finally caught up on all the Riordanverse books (again!) (minus Kane Chronicles!). These chapters are arguably the most chaotic chapters we've ever read. Dolus and Apate mess with The Mist. Everyone is a cat. Everyone is then in Halloween costumes. Will is a banana? Pirithous is eventually caught, and really wants to be punished. He's a man who loves rules. Hecate shows up to help restore everything to the way it was. Semele is restored to her prior form as Semele Thyone. Dionysis reuintes with his mom, and the book is wrapped up in a heartwarming way. We give our overall thoughts on the book and what changes we'd make, and then discuss what's next for the pod!Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

In this deep-dive analysis of Season 5, Episode 24, Megan and Isaac explore the Crossroads not just as an intersection, but as a "battery pack" for high-strangeness where the veil between worlds is thinnest. The episode bridges ancient history and modern experience, traveling from the triple-way shrines of Hecate and the gatekeeping role of Papa Legba to a critical re-examination of Robert Johnson's legendary "deal with the devil." By blending academic research with "spiritual physics," the discussion explores why natural dirt paths serve as potent energy access points for the Stone Tape Theory while modern infrastructure often acts as a physical blockage to the metaphysical.The narrative shifts into intense field reports from their local North Carolina investigations, detailing the discovery of ritualistic traps and the harrowing auditory encounters that guard these active sites. As the team recount their time at the O House and the Park, they reveal startling evidence of entities that linger in these liminal spaces, including a localized energy phenomenon that challenges our understanding of the relationship between the occult and the extraterrestrial. Ultimately, the episode serves as a haunting reminder that the crossroads represent a point of no return, a space where the paths of the living and the dead inevitably collide.

In this episode, I sit back down with mythologist and author Deb Crossland to explore how ancient mythology speaks directly to the modern woman's journey. We dig into the real stories behind Hecate, Medusa, and Helen of Troy — and why reclaiming their symbolism is an act of radical self-expression. From the power of rituals to the societal narratives keeping women small, this conversation will have you seeing your "too much" as your greatest strength. It's time to remember your radiance.

Water Your Garden with ThiccSparkleButt: Leaving a Religious Doomsday Cult, Reclaiming Voice, and Naming Rape by Deception. Hecate of Finding OK talks with poet and Twitch streamer, ThiccSparkleButt, about her healing journey. Thicc talks about growing up in a doomsday religious cult and how it damaged her family relationships, established poor boundaries, stifled her identity, and lay the groundwork for patterns of abuse in her life. She shares her journey through abusive relationships, coercion and deception, claiming identity and autonomy, and finding support. Therapy (including EMDR) and supportive Twitch spaces helped her reclaim her voice, streaming, and creativity; it helped her improve boundaries, grieve lost friendships, and speak publicly about rape by deception. Thicc encourages survivors to remember that healing isn't linear, and to remember to “water your garden”. TW/CW: Religious trauma, cults, suicide, abuse, PTSD, sexual assault, coercion and deception, substances, and strong language.

In this haunting updated & remastered archive episode of the Fairy Whispering Podcast, Claire Casely walks the mist‑laden paths of Dartmoor with local storyteller and paranormal investigator David Phillips. Together, they explore the eerie legends surrounding The Witches Triangle, a landscape shaped by sorrow, folklore, and the lingering presence of the unseen.Their journey leads to the poignant story of Jay's Grave, the resting place of a young girl whose tragic fate has inspired more than a century of ghost lore. David shares his deep knowledge of Dartmoor's witchcraft traditions, crossroads magic, and the influence of the goddess Hecate, revealing how these threads weave into the moor's darker, more liminal spaces. The music of Siberwitch, aka Lena Heide Brennand, accompanies their walk. Her track The Myling enhances the haunting atmosphere. Lena is an upcoming guest on the podcast.From spectral sightings to the rituals of local witches, this episode invites listeners into a world where history and myth blur, and where the land itself seems to whisper its secrets. It is a powerful reminder that Dartmoor is not just a place—it is a living landscape of memory, mystery, and quiet enchantment.✨ Connect with David's work:https://moorstoursdartmoor.co.uk/Connect with Lena's music

So much of what is happening these days seems utterly nonsensical, from Trump’s war crime and profanity-laced Easter rant, to the whipsaw on Iran. So, is it simply Occam’s razor, or is there more going on here than we’re led to believe? Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (1913) The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis. — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373 I would suggest nothing we’re seeing, including (especially) the seemingly nonsensical, is ‘accidental’ or coincidental. It is PSYOP/PSWAR, a potent toxic mixture of POSIWID and chaos theory designed and intended to rapidly produce maximum chaos resulting in a ‘Clash of Civilizations‘ and The End of History and the Last Man, to ultimately bring about a ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’1234 a la Genesis 11 → Genesis 6 → culminating in Psalm 2 → Revelation 19.

Headlines [x] = Mentioned / Discussed Trump: “A Whole Civilization with Die Tonight” If President Trump carries out his threat to kill the entire civilization of Iran, he will join the ranks of Cato the Elder, Genghis Khan, Cortez, and other villains in history who chose the policy of destroying an entire civilization. Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic. Members of the US government—as well as We the People—should think about the reflections of multiple Roman authors who regarded the total annihilation of Carthage as an outrage and repudiation of Rome's republican values and virtues. In the Aeneid, Virgil frames the Punic Wars as a fateful conflict initiated by the Punic Queen Dido’s curse on Aeneas’s descendants. I interpret this as Virgil's way of condemning the “unspeakable” destruction of Carthage. The American people should be aware of the fact that if our US government does indeed annihilate the Iranian nation forever, it will certainly have a vast array of terrible consequences for us and for all of mankind. Among other disasters, it is likely that millions of Iranians will be forced to flee to other lands, including those of Europe. Many young men who see their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters suffer will be animated with a burning desire for revenge. I anticipate great horrors ahead for all of us.

Greek Gods | Paranormal Podcast In this Greek gods episode timed with the Winter Olympics, we explore the fascinating world of Greek mythology starting with the origin story of the three most powerful gods—Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades—who were born to the Titan Cronus and his wife Rhea during the Golden Age, though Cronus attempted to eat all his children after a prophecy warned he'd be overthrown by his sons, leading Zeus to eventually free his brothers and defeat their father. We discuss the 12 great Olympians including Zeus (the serial cheater who ruled the sky), Hera (his perpetually angry sister-wife and goddess of marriage), Athena (the brilliant goddess of wisdom who burst fully formed from Zeus's head), Dionysus (the fun-loving god of wine and theater who was gestated in Zeus's thigh after his mother exploded), and several compelling minor gods like Hecate (goddess of magic and crossroads) and Pan (the half-goat satyr god of wilderness). We share captivating myths including Hades kidnapping Persephone with pomegranate seeds that created the seasons, Prometheus stealing fire for humanity and suffering eternal punishment, and the tragic tale of Arachne, who challenged Athena to a weaving contest with devastating consequences.

Hecate started as the ruling goddess of the Asian region of Caria, and got taken over by the Greeks as the only one able to operate in every realm of the cosmos. This then gave her special responsibility for travellers, doorways and restless ghosts. That slowly darkened her image, so that she became associated with the night, the moon, and magicians. By the Roman period, she was the goddess of sorcery par excellence, invoked for all sorts of enchantments, good or bad. In the late ancient worlds this also turned her into a saviour figure, enabling humans directly to contact the divine. This lecture traces that colourful journey.This lecture was recorded by Robin May on the 26th of November 2025 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonProfessor Hutton is Professor of History at the University of Bristol. He took degrees at Cambridge and then Oxford Universities, and was a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford.

Join Hecate in this episode of 'Finding OK,' a healing podcast for survivors of SA and abuse, as they delve into the concept of "the male gaze", how it's internalized, its role in objectification, and its intersection with sexual healing post-trauma. Inspired by Margaret Atwood's poem from 'The Robber Bride', Hecate explores how societal beauty standards and the male gaze have influenced their self-perception, sexuality, and share reflections on their journey toward authentic pleasure and intimacy. This episode aims to provide strength and resonance for women, femmes, and AFAB individuals. Listen for powerful personal reflections on noticing and dismantling internalized patriarchal views. and a call for embracing radical self-love (it's a process).

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Yvonne Blomer about her stunning narrative poetry, Death of Persephone: A Murder (Caitlin Press, 2024). In Death of Persephone, the patriarchal myth of the maiden taken, raped, and made the potent and sexualized queen of the underworld is questioned, altered, flipped. Instead, we have Stephanie, a girl of seven, taken and raised by her Uncle H. who is obsessed by her, tries to control her, to keep her, to have her even as she blooms out from underneath him. In poems both lyrical and narrative, a woman paints Hecate on a building, a Hyacinth Macaw flies overhead, a detective bumbles from crime to crime. This is a city with a vast underground where bats hang and paperwhites bloom, a city where men still rule. Who sees what, who will pay, and who will survive in this ancient story altered at the core? About Yvonne Blomer: Yvonne Blomer is the author of the critically acclaimed poetry collections The Last Show on Earth (Caitlin Press, 2022) and As if a Raven (Palimpsest Press, 2015) as well as the travel memoir Sugar Ride: Cycling from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur (Palimpsest Press, 2017). Blomer served as the city of Victoria poet laureate from 2015 to 2018. Through poetry, she has raised awareness for the plight of the Pacific Ocean and its ecology. She is the creator and editor of Refugium: Poems for the Pacific (Caitlin Press, 2017), the first in a trilogy of water-based poetry anthologies that was followed by Sweet Water: Poems for the Watershed (Caitlin Press, 2020). She was the Artistic Director for the weekly Planet Earth Poetry series and edited the anthology Poems for Planet Earth. Yvonne recently edited Hologram: Homage to P.K. Page (Caitlin Press, 2023). She has been longlisted for the CBC Poetry Prize and shortlisted for the Montreal Poetry Prize and the Troubadour International Poetry Prize and won the Gwendolyn MacEwen Poetry Prize for Death of Persephone. She has performed at reading series and festivals in cities across the country and has had poems published in Canada, the UK and Japan.

From Host BarbaraI'm very happy to introduce Darragh Mason to you: he's an award-winning photographer, author and podcaster with a deep interest in folklore and otherworldly beings. I first found him by way of his podcast The Spirit Box, where he had some really interesting guests. The first episode I listened to was Episode 28: Jerry Marzinsky, Schizophrenia and Parasitic Entities, and I found it so fascinating that I started tuning in regularly. Last year, his first book was published: Song of the Dark Man: Father of Witches, Lord of the Crossroads, and of course, I snatched it right up. Being as I have an affinity with another being who is known for frequenting crossroads, Hecate, I expected to really like the book. What I wasn't prepared for was the poetic beauty of the prose and the experiences described by modern Witches that were congruent with my own. I hope you enjoy listening in on our little visit, and after you listen, you should check out Darragh's photo essays on his website, especially the one titled City of Djinn.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

In this conversation with astrologer Kira Rehberg, we explore the magic and precision of electional astrology - the branch that helps you choose the right moment to begin. Together, we reflect on how timing shapes our creations, from business launches to life changes, and how aligning with cosmic rhythms can invite more ease, beauty, and trust into what we birth. Topics We Cover: How Kira came into astrology and her path toward specializing in electional astrology The difference between natal and electional astrology, and why both matter How everything—from a marriage to a business—has a "birth chart" What it means to co-create with fate rather than passively observe transits The importance of the chart ruler and the Moon in choosing auspicious moments Why not all charts (or moons!) are ideal—and what to do when timing is tough How she crafted the charts for Living Emergence and the beauty of patience in the process The role of fixed stars, decans, and deities like Hecate in her electional work Choosing ease over struggle and learning to dance with time How electional astrology can become an accessible, intuitive daily practice Learn More: Kira's self-paced Electional Astrology Course and aspects guidebook are available on her website.

This sermon explores the Ten Plagues (Exodus 7-10), one of the most iconic and disturbing parts of Exodus. The plagues are not random acts of anger but a deliberate act of revelation, raising questions about God's justice, His purpose, and the hardening of Pharaoh's heart.Scripture ReferencesExodus 7:4-5: God's stated purpose: "The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord."Exodus 9:15-16: God tells Pharaoh He could have struck him down at once, but "raised you up to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."Exodus 12:12: "On all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments. I am the Lord."Exodus 12:38: A "mixed group" (including Egyptians) left with Israel.1 Corinthians 10:19-20: What pagans sacrifice, "they offer to demons and not to God."2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow... but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."Exodus 15:11: Israel's response: "Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?"Key PointsThe Purpose of the Plagues: Revelation The plagues are an act of revelation. God's primary stated purpose is "so that the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord." This revelation comes in three forms: Revelation (Yahweh is superior to all gods), Rescue (He fights for His people), and Retribution (He fights against the wicked oppressor).Why Ten Plagues? A Patient Judgment God explicitly says He could have wiped Pharaoh out with one plague. He "raised Pharaoh up" to demonstrate His power to the entire world. This "slowness" was an act of patience (cf. 2 Peter 3:9). It turned up the volume, allowing more people—even a "mixed multitude" of Egyptians—to witness His power, repent, and join the rescue.A War on the "Gods" of Egypt God wasn't just fighting Pharaoh; He was executing judgment "on all the gods of Egypt." This was a supernatural war against the demonic forces behind the idols (1 Cor. 10:20). Each plague was a targeted attack on a specific Egyptian deity (e.g., Plague 1, Blood, attacked Hapi, the god of the Nile; Plague 2, Frogs, attacked Hecate, the frog-headed fertility goddess).The Hardened Heart The text shows a progression: Pharaoh hardens his own heart, then God hardens it. Pharaoh, a wicked ruler, had already chosen his path. God then sovereignly used that stubbornness for His greater purpose: to display His glory to the nations so that more people could be saved.ConclusionThe Egyptians weren't the only ones with false gods. We have our own idols: success, money, power, independence, and the god of self. Sometimes, God must make war on our gods, exposing our false securities and tearing down the things we trust in. He does this not to destroy us, but to expose our idols until all we have left is Him. This is where true worship begins.Calls to ActionIdentify Your Idols: What "gods" (security, success, self) are you trusting in?See God's Hand: If your "gods" are failing, consider if God is making war on them to draw you to Himself.Worship the One True God: Respond as the Israelites did: "Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?"
