In this episode I am joined by Mary Shutan: author, occultist, and spiritual teacher. Mary shares her journey from a traumatic early childhood to adoption into an upper-middle class family, and how spiritual overwhelm in her teenage years, and a subsequent kundalini awakening, drove her to in-depth study of spiritual themes. Mary details her own kundalini experience, including challenging side effects, kundalini traps, and the role of sacrifice on the spiritual path. Mary also discusses her love of reading and magical realism, recounts her time as a ritual magician working with the dark feminine, advises on encounters with entities and extra-terrestrials, and describes the different types of spiritual protection employed by institutions and public figures. … Video version: www.guruviking.com/podcast/153-mary-shutan-kundalini-and-the-occult Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

“Are You Listening?” Luke 1:26-3812.01.19Core Belief: Authority of the Bible I believe the Bible is the Word of God and has the right to command my belief and action.2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.Scripture: Luke 1:26-3826 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” 35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.The Message of this Passage:Today, for many of us, the Christmas season is a bit like a well-decorated Christmas tree. There are layers of tinsel and lights and all sorts of decorations and ornaments. If you decorated well, it can be hard, at least from a distance, to tell whether it's a real tree, a fir tree, or a plastic tree.The Christmas message, actually the Christmas season, has become overloaded with all the sentiment and the beautiful traditions of a Hallmark movie.It has become hard for us to determine if the Christmas message is just another myth to warm our hearts in the bleak midwinter or whether it is authentic after all.This is why it is so very helpful to read Luke’s account of the coming of the Lord Jesus.If you look at the first five verses of Chapter 1, you’ll see that Luke is really attentive to show that what happens in this story is grounded in history and is not merely the invention of a storyteller.In verse 2, he is working with eyewitness testimony as he writes this account. It is, he says, “an orderly account...”Concerning the ministry of the Lord Jesus, Luke sets it all in order so that the “most excellent Theophilus” (the man to whom he is writing) “may have certainty,” verse 4, “concerning the things you have been taught.”Luke based his writing on eyewitness testimony, set in order carefully so that we may have certainty.For those of us who are asking questions about the significant issues of our lives and who are struggling to know which way to turn, Luke’s account of the coming of the Lord Jesus will help us find the certainty and answers to the big questions.Christ's arrival is a real-world message that took place in a real place in real-time with real people.Answering Interpretive Questions:If we think about Mary’s human experience of meeting and talking with the angel Gabriel – what do we imagine that experience was?Would we want to have this experience ourselves? Why, or why not?Everyone in this story has a name; no one is an anonymous or generic individual, but a particular individual. What difference does this make in the way we read this text? Is it important? How?Why did Gabriel call Mary “O favored one?” What is he saying about Mary? What is he saying about God?Why is it important for Mary to know “the Lord is with” her? How is this fact related to her status as “favored one?”Why was Mary afraid, and on what basis does Gabriel tell her not to be afraid (v. 30)?Why is understanding OT passages crucial to understanding Gabriel’s message to Mary?To what areas of doubt, fear, disbelief, sorrow, unanswered prayer, brokenness, worry, anger, etc. might you apply the truth in v. 37?Have you ever considered the way God makes promises to His people (e.g., directly, as with Abraham; through angels, as with Hagar, or prophets, like Isaiah; through scripture? How do you relate and respond to God’s promises, and how do the stories of past fulfillments of promises influence the way you relate to God’s promises?NOTES:

Welcome to the Work Your Worth Podcast with Brigid Kupfersmith & Mary Siems. Together we are creating a community for women that pushes them to utilize their strengths, understand their value, and feel compelled to share it. We have transparent conversations about what it means to uncover your value and utilize it to the highest level. MARY: To work your worth means fully embracing who you are-- your unique gifts, talents, and abilities and utilizing those to move you forward professionally and personally. What is it that makes you different? What is it that makes you you? Through self awareness we learn about ourselves and leverage that as our greatest asset. BRIGID: To understand your value and learn how to use it in every area of your life.
