In the tiny lakeside town of Empire, Michigan, the scent of melted chocolate drifts through the air. But inside Grocer's Daughter Chocolate, co-owner Jody Hayden is doing far more than creating sweet treats — she's rewriting the story of chocolate itself.From her early days working with Mayan farmers in Mexico to handcrafting ethically sourced confections in northern Michigan, Jody has built a business that proves indulgence and integrity can coexist. She shares how small farmers across the globe are finally being paid fairly, why some cacao growers have never even tasted chocolate, and how every bar from her shop carries a piece of social change.Address:11590 S Lacore St, Empire, MI 49630Links:

About this EpisodeThis episode is a little different from the usual Think Like a Game Designer conversation. Instead of a freeform discussion, I came prepared with a curated list of questions to guide the conversation, giving us a structured look into Jordan's creative process, his philosophies on innovation, and the lessons he's learned over decades of building worlds. The result is a fast-paced, insight-packed episode that feels like sitting in on a masterclass in game design.About Jordan WeismanJordan Weisman is a legendary figure in interactive entertainment, whose career spans tabletop games, video games, theme parks, and beyond. As the creator of Battletech, Shadowrun, and Crimson Skies, and the founder of iconic companies like FASA and WizKids, Jordan has shaped generations of players and creators alike. His work is defined by boundless curiosity, fearless experimentation, and a lifelong commitment to collaborative storytelling.In this episode, Jordan and I explore what it means to think small, fail boldly, and keep learning no matter how much success you've had. We discuss how curiosity drives innovation, why emotional courage is more important than financial risk, and how respect—for yourself, your team, and your audience—is at the heart of great creative work. Whether you're just starting your design journey or looking to rekindle your passion after decades in the industry, Jordan's insights offer a masterclass in staying creative for life.Think Like A Game Designer is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Justin's QuestionsWhat's something that you're passionate about outside of your career, and what do you love about it? (00:01:33)* During the pandemic, he rediscovered model building and diorama crafting, a childhood hobby that brings him therapeutic joy.* He enjoys it because it's tangible, visual storytelling where you can actually see progress, a much different process than game design, which often feels abstract or slow.What do you love about that kind of model building and creating? (00:04:05)* It aligns with Jordan's love of world-building and storytelling when creating small, detailed scenes that tell a story visually.* It's satisfying because each session produces visible progress, reinforcing creativity and immersion.What is advice that you would give to someone that's just starting out in your industry? (00:04:06)* Think small. Beginners often aim for massive projects like the ones they admire.* Start with something you can finish using your own limited resources.* Completion and execution teach more than ideas ever will.* Focus on learning through doing, not imagining.Now let's flip to the other side of the equation: what do you see as an important lesson that industry veterans need to learn? Or put another way, what advice do you think your older self might give to you? (00:06:30) * Avoid hubris. Experience can blind you. Everything you know might be wrong.* Listen to young minds. Youth brings creativity because it hasn't learned what's supposedly impossible.* Over time, past failures make people too cautious; veterans must keep their beginner's mindset.* Innovation demands courage to look foolish publicly; fear of embarrassment kills creativity.* Stay humble, keep experimenting, and reassess old assumptions regularly.Are there any practices or rituals or ways that you try to keep yourself in that beginner's mind? How can one get the advantages of experience and minimize the disadvantages? (00:08:09)* You must be willing to “go face first into the mud.”* As he said in the previous question, public embarrassment is the price of innovation.* Surround yourself with young thinkers, question assumptions, and resist dismissing ideas based on past failures.* Always check whether past lessons still apply, because markets and contexts change. Jordan gives an example of a failed company born from his overconfidence, where he didn't re-research the market because he assumed he already knew it.What do you consider the most important skills to cultivate for your profession, and how do you cultivate these skills? (00:15:13)* Endless curiosity: Study adjacent fields like comics, fiction, tech—anything that feeds creative cross-pollination.* Build a box: Instead of “thinking outside the box,” define constraints clearly to evaluate ideas. For example: He designed Mage Knight by creating a checklist of problems (ease of entry, low cost, retailer needs) and solving within that “box.”* He values self-education: when he didn't know toy manufacturing, he paid a small company to teach him the process.So let's get to the areas where the industry or you have been dead wrong. What common advice do you hear about your industry that is dead? (00:24:26)* “Nothing is ever dead.” Genres, mechanics, and IPs always come back (vinyl, RPGs, etc.) * When people say something's over, it's actually ready for reinvention.* He used to believe in-person collaboration was essential, but remote work proved him wrong.* He often misjudged products (like thinking Funko Pops would flop).* Absorb wisdom but not edicts.* Success and failure are cyclical, making timing and humility matter more than certainty.What books, articles, or learning resources have had the biggest impact on you? And if there are any key takeaways that stuck with you that come to mind? (00:30:53)* Mentions Reed Hastings' book (Netflix culture) and Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull (Pixar). The value here is the small-team principles and leadership lessons, though he's skeptical of the “find five geniuses” model.* His biggest lessons came from mentors, not books: Mark Miller (creator of Traveller): taught him kindness and professionalism. His father, Mort Weissman: joined FASA, ran the business side, and kept it alive.* He emphasizes mentorship, respect, and kindness as lasting business principles.What is the right way to find a partner? (00:33:14)* Finding a partner is like finding a life mate: talk about goals, work habits, expectations.* Negotiate the “prenup” early, meaning you should decide how you'll split if things go wrong.* Avoid the naive approach he took (asking friends at the table).What about systems, software, and tools that have had a big impact on your workflow?(00:38:18)* Internal tool: his “box” process for evaluating ideas.* Software: Slack (no internal email, all communication centralized), Google Docs (collaboration), ClickUp/Jira (task tracking).* Avoid “Not Invented Here” syndrome: don't build tools you can buy.* Focus on your core innovation; outsource or use existing solutions for everything else.* Reuse mechanics unless your innovation demands new ones.* Let your team choose tools bottom-up instead of enforcing top-down.What's your favorite project, and what lessons did you learn from it? (00:45:46)* His favorite is always the one he's working on now, but emotionally, Shadowrun and Crimson Skies stand out. Shadowrun came from trying to differentiate from Cyberpunk and combining fantasy with cyberpunk via the Mayan calendar. Crimson Skies was born from personal burnout after his wife pushed him to rediscover his passion. It led to reinvention and eventually Microsoft's acquisition of his company.* His lesson here is that passion and reinvention are crucial; listen to loved ones and know when to move on from stale success.You can find the previous episode with Jordan below: This is a public episode.

There's such a powerful up-levelling happening in my world right now, and I'm feeling called to share the journey with you.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I open up about what it truly means to walk through the fire of growth and spiritual initiation. I reflect on how even after 20+ years on this path, I'm still being stretched, still being initiated, and still learning to surrender more deeply to the presence of the Divine. I share how the old fears and definitions of failure melt away as we become more refined, and how every challenge is, in truth, a blessing and an invitation to rise.We dive into my evolving understanding of healing—how it's become an art, an intimate creation, and a natural extension of life itself. I talk about the breath of God, a sacred healing modality passed down through Mayan lineage, and how it's performed in ceremony with pure intention and presence. I explain what it feels like to receive this breath, and how the ripple effects of such a moment can unfold for years, transforming your life at the deepest level.You'll hear about my recent experiences guiding women through sacred portals, and my invitation to those who feel the calling to step into their own healing mastery, crossing the 11:11 portal with us.Key TakeawaysGrowth and spiritual initiation never end, no matter how far you've comeTrue healing is an art, a natural and intimate creationThe breath of God is a potent, lineage-based healing practice performed in sacred ceremonySurrendering to the Divine brings profound transformation and ongoing refinementThe calling to serve and hold powerful healing is open to all who are ready to step inResources & LinksFor details on upcoming ceremonies and initiations, please visit my website or reach out directlyConnect on social media for updates and inspirationListen to previous episodes of The Calling for more teachings and guidanceActionIf you feel the pull to deepen your healing mastery, to hold this pristine presence and serve at the highest level, I invite you to step forward.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Tim is out sick, but the rest of the gang dives headfirst into the latest failed prophecy: The Rapture That Wasn't. Apparently, September 23, 2025, was supposed to be the big day. People were selling cars, homes, and cashing out like Blockbuster stock in 2010. But—spoiler alert—we're all still here. So why do people keep falling for these very specific “end of the world on Tuesday at 4pm” prophecies? We break down the history of doomsday predictions, from Harold Camping's 2011 miss to the Millerites' “Great Disappointment” of 1844, to Heaven's Gate and Hale-Bopp, to secular versions like Y2K and the 2012 Mayan calendar scare. It's always the same pattern: finite, dramatic, and always a letdown.

From doomsday prophecies to tech dreams that fizzled, this episode dives into the wild world of predictions that never came true. We explore infamous forecasts—from the Y2K panic and the 2012 Mayan apocalypse to flying cars by 2020 and Martian colonies by now. Why do we keep believing bold claims? What do these flops say about our hopes, fears, and fascination with the future? Join us for a journey through history's most memorable misfires, with a mix of humor, insight, and reflection.

9.22.25 - Day 13/13 of the White Dog Wavespell - Electric Moon 3 The current dominant theme for why 'life is not a dream' is the Planetary Moon of the Gregorian year, called White Solar Mirror. I have talked and talked about this because it is the key that unlocks not ease, but clarity, about the challenges that we are seemingly submerged by. Yes, it's a new Mayan year, and yes, the White Dog and Blue Night wave spells we are traveling through are delightful compared to so many we have endured. But the Gregorian astrology is at an acrid, malevolent peak, and it's costing us our stability and our serenity. So I am here to say we have a ways to go. Not that much longer, but it's not going to be immediate either. We have to get through this Planetary Moon, and we are only approaching the midpoint. Pace yourself, streamline your life, and keep it simple and present moment as you function through all the static and also the malignant fever pitch.

According to a NASA engineer, Jesus was coming back in 1988, then 1989 and he was wrong. Then Jesus was supposed to come in 2000 during Y2K, then in 2012 at the end of the Mayan calendar and then in 2020. How do people keep getting this wrong? Because Christ himself said ONLY the Father knows when it will all go down. The Stwrong1 has spoken… Kneel This is a public episode.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again for another ground-breaking episode: Satanic and masonic ritual abuse and mind control survivor and whistleblower, YouTuber and content creator on her own YouTube channel and Substack at the handle ⁨@MayanMissions⁩ ,first generational New Zealander, credentialed counselor with a specialization in Narrative Therapy, communication skill small group training course facilitator, traditional herbal medicine advocate, retreat co-facilitator, and healing warrior, our beloved podcast regular, and my dear friend: sweetest Poppy JoyBorn into a multi-generational, incest-based family entangled in satanic and Masonic ritual abuse, Poppy endured unimaginable horrors designed to shatter her soul. Yet, from the crucible of extreme trauma, she has forged a path of liberation, healing, and fearless truth-telling that captivates and inspires listeners from all over the world. Her story is not just a testament to survival - it's a blazing call to rise, reclaim, and rewrite the narrative of a life once bound by darkness.Poppy's awakening began in 2017, when the floodgates of suppressed memories burst open, triggered by visceral encounters including a feral dog's menacing presence, a jellyfish sting that unleashed a histamine storm across her body, and a rash that mirrored the chaos within. These were no mere accidents; they were catalysts, unlocking a lifetime of buried truths. From her earliest years, Poppy's senses were different - her eyesight and hearing, impacted by trauma, gave way to an extraordinary gift: an energetic perception. She could see the dance of energy, hear whispers of telepathy, and, with laser-like focus, discern the mechanics of black magic rituals. What her abusers intended would break her became her superpower - a window into the unseen forces that shape our world.Through her recovered memories, Poppy uncovered chilling revelations: rituals performed to empower government legislation, synchronized with astrological alignments and ancient calendars like the Mayan system, which she later studied to reclaim her spiritual sovereignty. These ceremonial rituals, steeped in occult precision, tethered human consciousness to cosmic cycles, manipulating power on a global scale. Yet, Poppy's discoveries didn't end in despair - they fueled her rebirth. Armed with a degree in Counseling and expertise in Narrative Therapy, she had already spent years empowering others, facilitating small groups with courses like “Changes that Heal,” studying traditional herbal medicine during her battle with cancer and Morgellons, and co-leading retreats. But when her memories surged, demanding her full attention, Poppy turned her healing inward, pausing her work to mend the fragments of her own story.Today she is back to dive deeper into her life story - how programming has been held in her body and affected her life, growing up in the family she was born into, being a hyper empath, the loss of identity and lostness many survivors feel when recovering and contending with memories, time and space manipulation, consciousness, remote viewing, the power of unconditional love, and so much more.

9.16.25 - Day 7/13 of the White Dog Wavespell - Lunar Moon 25 Today is the guiding day of the current Mayan year, Yellow Resonant Seed. July 26, 2o25 was Yellow Resonant Seed and the start of the new year. That day is guided by Yellow Resonant Warrior, so here we are. Anything that happens today should be pretty attuned to what is pulling you, leading you for this entire year. The Resonant tone is about being open, hollow and receptive to the divine energy that come from some off-planet cosmic realm and touch down through us. It's helpful to be infused with spiritual influence. This year is guided by the cause of justice, fighting to protect those who are vulnerable and against the invading marauders. It's hard in a Lunar, polarized moon to see who is just starting fires from a sadistic impulse, and who is defending the weak and weary. But over the course of this 13 Moon year, we will come to understand it more clearly.

Talking with J.J Montagnier, writer, traveler, and scholar of cycle science, the systems on the hidden rhythms of history, the meta physical energy trends that shape civilizations and that that help us navigate moments of collapse and renewal. On the Mayan calendars, Vedic Yuga cycles, and the mimetic rivalry and the Jungian archetypes that move beneath politics and culture. On liminality and transition, peak oil and peak centralization, and the coming age of decentralization and spiritual resurgence.On J.J's lifelong journey across continents seeking wisdom in ancient teachings and living systems. On his path from Jungian psychology and archetypal studies, on the Tower of Babel as metaphor, on the relationship between material energy decline and spiritual energy ascent, and on how these forces echo through our present moment.On how to prepare for what comes next not through fear or apocalypse fantasies, but by maintain openness, awareness, reverence, and adaptability.Excerpts We are in a Tower of Babel scenario where we have had convergence for decades and we are now finally, reaching a point where we will have peak centralization, which will be temporary because when we see a major material energy decline, it would be very difficult for the centralization to be maintained and or at the same level.   We are transitioning from a high materialism to a low materialism, more or less.As we enter an era of physical energy declines. We might also enter an era of spiritual energy inclines in terms of we will become more spiritual, less materialistic consciously at the same time when we are, we actually need to adapt and adjust to less energy material energy in reality. I think the transition we will be going through will require an openness, a greater openness, let's say, to meta metaphysical concepts. Simply because I think life will become too weird really to understand what's going on without having some metaphysical understanding of what's unfolding.J.J's latest essay discussed:https://energyshifts.net/mimetic-rivalry-in-the-tower-of-babel/J.J. Montagnier is an independent writer based in the Southern Hemisphere. His main areas of interest are depth-psychology, consciousness, ancient civilisations, mythology, archaeology, anthropology, philosophy and metaphysics.https://energyshifts.net/For those interested in more depth and information on Mayan systems: Mayan Wisdom Project is a valuable resource: https://www.themayanwisdomproject.com/ Get full access to Leafbox at leafbox.substack.com/subscribe

Parshat Ki Tavo: Amalek alway gets involved?!? Mayan 2000 and the forgotten bag!!!

Celestial phenomena are nothing new. In fact, they've been recorded throughout human history. The appearance of Halley's Comet in the skies over the English Channel during the Norman Conquest was one such instance. A lunar eclipse prior to the abandonment of several Mayan cities was thought to be an omen from the gods of portents dire. And in an open field in Fátima, Portugal on October 13th, 1917, the sun performed a series of gymnastic-like feats that left witnesses stunned, intrigued, and bewildered. What did the citizens of Fátima see that fateful day? Was it celestial or superstitious in nature? And if it can't be explained scientifically, was it really the miracle they said it was? Tune in to find out!

Send us a textWe're stepping into marigold season, and I couldn't be more excited to share this special Cosmic Valkyrie episode with you. Women often ask why I'm so obsessed with marigolds — and the truth is, they're not just flowers. They are living portals into courage, devotion, and alignment.JOIN OUR NEWLETTERMarigolds burn bright even as the year tilts toward endings. They remind us that our brilliance doesn't dim when cycles close — it expands. In this episode, I'll take you deep into their history, science, and spiritual symbolism, and show you how this fiery bloom is a mirror for your own luminous evolution.You'll discover:The ancient wisdom of marigolds across cultures: from Aztec and Mayan altars to Indian wedding garlands and European healing rituals.How marigolds tie to your sacral and solar power, inviting creativity, clarity, and willpower.The neuroscience of ritual anchors — and how marigolds can help rewire your subconscious through sensory repetition and subconscious reprogramming.Why marigolds are more than symbolic: their proven medicinal properties make them allies in both body and spirit.How to use marigolds as an everyday ritual for bold living, quantum alignment, and momentum in your creative flow. Marigolds hold three truths that every Shapeshifter needs to hear:Roots hold you steady, but your purpose is to bloom.Brilliance honors both beginnings and endings.You are a living altar to what matters most.When you work with marigolds, you're not just decorating your home or garden — you're engaging in subconscious reprogramming that helps you collapse distractions and amplify your signal to the quantum field. This is where alignment becomes more than an idea — it becomes embodied.I'll also share a personal story of my connection to the Mayan world, and the life-altering moment I stepped onto sacred ground at the Kinich Kakmó pyramid. That experience showed me that marigolds are more than metaphors — they're guides. They taught me that devotion, alignment, and luminous living are not just concepts, but frequencies we can embody.✨ If you've ever felt like you're shrinking your truth or struggling to stay lit through life's endings, this episode will reawaken your perspective. Marigolds remind you that your brilliance is not seasonal — it's eternal.

9.5.25 - Day 9/13 of the Red Earth Wavespell - Lunar Moon 14 It's esoteric and atypical for most aficionados of the Natural Time calendar movement, but I teach about the astrology of the Gregorian year as well as the Mayan one. Natural Time is careful to reintroduce a Mayan year count that begins every July 26. We know that the Gregorian new year's is polar opposite, practically, so to move to the Mayan tradition is a departure. And all but a tiny fraction of the earth's population is fixed on the Gregorian calendar count. So after 25 years of my own practice and teaching, I decided to 'decode' through astrology the meaning of each Gregorian year. This one is extremely challenging. 2025 is considered the most fiery, fierce and fast moving version of the human sacrifice ritual that was a ceremonial bedrock (literally, stone benches at the top of pile of stone blocks to form their pyramid) of teaching the advantage of rising from this planetary toil to the celestial paradise with the ascended gods. We are all experiencing sacrifice: loss, upset, disappointment, gut punches and heart break. And on the other side of it we are receiving our own ticket to heaven. The way we are forced to let go rewards us by opening up the divine world to our consciousness. It's the high peak of this fiery, forceful sacrificial arc.

Introduction In this solo episode, Darin dives into a practice that has been both revered and misunderstood across history: the enema. From ancient Egypt and Mayan rituals to Ayurveda and modern biohacking, enemas have long been used as tools for cleansing, hydration, and targeted healing. Darin shares his own two-decade experience with enemas — from parasite cleanses to coffee enemas — and explores the science, history, and red flags you need to know. This is not medical advice, but an invitation to learn from ancient wisdom and consider how these practices might support your own healing journey.     What You'll Learn 00:21 – Why enemas have been used for thousands of years, from Egypt to the Maya 01:33 – Parasite cleansing, hydration, and creating an environment for balance 02:38 – Pharaohs' “shepherds of the king's rectum” and enemas in ancient medical texts 03:20 – Ayurveda protocols for cleansing, oils, and elimination support 04:25 – The Maya's ritual use of enemas, including psychoactive delivery 05:22 – Enemas as lifesaving hydration in medical history (Murphy's Drip) 06:30 – FDA-approved microbiome enemas and rapid constipation relief 07:24 – Parasite cleanses, detox protocols, and Darin's own experiences 08:38 – Why we all live with parasites and how enemas help restore balance 09:19 – Ancient wisdom vs. modern medicine: why we need both 10:19 – Coffee enemas, liver support, detox, and peristalsis stimulation 11:20 – Lights turning back on: Darin's personal benefits from enemas 12:20 – Red flags: who should not do enemas (IBD, bleeding, surgeries, etc.) 13:47 – The importance of fiber, microbiome support, and daily practices 15:21 – Why Darin does two enemas a week and how they “turn the lights back on” 16:32 – Closing reflections: enemas as ancient tools for hydration, cleansing, and microbiome health     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer – a trailer he referred to as his “toy box”.HOUR ONE: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========HOUR TWO: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong. If you are a security guard actively looking for something out of the ordinary during the graveyard shift, you know you're going to go home with stories to tell.

8.24.25 - Day 10/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell - Lunar Moon 2 The Lunar Moon instantly sets us up to feel that there are problems in our lives that did not have the same intensity or focus in the Magnetic Moon. In the earliest part of the Lunar Moon, it's like an assault on our senses to go from complacency or curiosity to wanting to register complaints. Something new that formed in our lives this Mayan year suddenly has a downside. The hints at complication or discomfort pulsing through the Magnetic Moon are now here in bold, underscored. And my advice is to lay low, breathe, weigh what you don't like - and recognize that you can't eliminate it. It's a part of your yearlong karma. It's a challenge, yes, but one you're going to have deal with and grow through, rather than try to dodge or diminish. We can also expect that others who do not follow Mayan spirituality are still going to have this edge. And I do recommend slowing down, stepping back, calming your own central nerve system as you adjust to your own challenges, rather than being immersed in others' as well.

In this week's episode of The Willie Jackerson Podcast, we travel deep into the heart of the Yucatán to uncover the mysteries of Chichen Itza, the ancient Mayan city that still stands as one of the great Wonders of the World. From the Temple of Kukulcán to the sacred cenotes, we explore the legends, astronomical brilliance, and hidden secrets that make this site more than just stone and history—it's a monument to power, faith, and cosmic alignment.To crank the energy up to full volume, we bring the metal with Stratovarius shredding epic power and the crushing riffs of Mayan Redemption, turning history into pure sonic fire. This is Wonder #4 in our series, where ancient ruins meet heavy riffs and the past collides with the metal future.Tune in, turn it up, and keep America metal.

If there is a theme running through the late summer podcast episodes, it's this: listen to your teachers. Everything becomes easier when we listen. Today, two former beginning teachers of the year help us elaborate on the why and how of listening.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

She entered education to increase teacher diversity and holds degrees from UNC Charlotte, including a Masters in Latin American Studies. Having studied abroad in South Africa and Germany, she teaches multilingual students with a global philosophy rooted in Ubuntu ("I am, because we are") and the Mayan expression In Lak'ech ("You are my other me"). Natalia has co-authored two book chapters about her South African research and co-founded the nonprofits 49ers for Puerto Rico and Knit-Together Prana.Xavier Adams is the NCCAT 2022 Prudential NC Beginning Teacher of the Year. Known as Mr. Xavier to his students, he teaches World History, Honors African American Studies, Honors Latin American Studies, and AP African American Studies at Orange High School in Hillsborough, NC. He also leads the school's teacher-equity team, student-equity team, and Minority Achievers Program.His pedagogical approach centers on using historical understanding to create a better world today. Xavier has co-presented with students at venues including the National Governors Association and North Carolina's General Assembly, and helped students publish op-eds. He holds two master's degrees from Duke University, and is quickly becoming a notable author on multiple education topics.Warmup questions:We always like to start with a celebration. What are you celebrating today?Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?Questions/Topics/PromptsPrequel: The three questions:What is your teaching superpower?What is the biggest difference between who you are now as a teaching and who you were when you began?What is one thing you wish your students would do differently?Part 1Thinking back, what was the most challenging thing about your first few years teaching and what could/did your APs do to help?Are there things you did not know, but which others seemed to assume you did knew>Thoughts on how APs can accelerate the growth of their ECTs (early career teacher)?Anything else regarding ECTs?Part 2It feels like a disempowering time right now. Last week I had Elena Aguilar as a guest and she talked about how disempowering a time this is. There are so many ways that people - young and old - are being told they don't matter, aren't relevant, have no power, and, worst of all, don't belong. The most obvious and egregious arena is politics and society, but social media, the economics, and the climate also make us feel small. Elena talked about how listening, and asking questions that put agency into the answerer's hands, were tangible ways to communicate to people they matter. I hope all our listeners will embrace that idea that we can use questions and listening to increase agency. I'd love to have a discussion around this  - as it applies to all of us, students, families, teachers, admins. What's your take?What questions can we be asking?How do we return agency to teachers and students?We are all North Carolinians, a state with a Democratic Governor and almost a supermajority Republican Legislature. As in many other states, there has been a lot of legislative activity aimed at chilling discourse in classrooms, especially as it relates to history. The bills have not become laws, but there is a chilling effect nonetheless. It is a scary time to cling to our authenticity and to push the edge of our teaching. How do you nurture your own strength?How do you nurture student agency?What can school leaders do to foster courage and authenticity in their teachers?Sponsor Spot 3:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction. But what does that actually look like? Look no further than IXL, the ultimate online learning and teaching platform for K to 12. IXL gives you meaningful insights that drive real progress, and research can prove it. Studies across 45 states show that schools who use IXL outperform other schools on state tests.

Send us a textThe Magick Kitchen Podcast welcomes occult practitioner and historian Solomon Pickle for an in-depth exploration of living Mayan traditions, decolonizing magical practice, and the importance of historical context in the craft. From ancient Mesoamerican cosmology and cyclical time to the dangers of pseudo-archaeology, Solomon shares how his lineage and research are shaping a new, authentic approach to Mayan magic. Elyse and Leandra join him in comparing global revival movements, uncovering the intersections of culture, spirituality, and modern witchcraft. This conversation is part history lesson, part call to action for magical practitioners ready to deepen their knowledge, honor indigenous wisdom, and ground their practice in truth. 

Ever wondered if you're using an e-collar correctly with your dog? Meg pulls back the curtain on this powerful training tool, revealing insights that even seasoned trainers might be missing.Meg takes us deep into the two essential phases of e-collar conditioning—escape and avoidance—and explains why most trainers and owners get stuck in the first phase for far too long. This simple mistake creates dogs who only respond when the e-collar is activated rather than understanding commands independently. She shares practical examples from her board-and-train program, demonstrating how e-collars should function as follow-through tools rather than becoming the cue itself.The conversation tackles the differences between sport dog training and pet dog reality. While competitive trainers might use e-collars for precision behaviors, Meg offers refreshingly honest advice about what actually works for everyday pet owners. "I didn't learn from other trainers," she explains. "I learned from dogs and owners what people are willing to do and keep up with."Perhaps most valuably, Meg challenges the common belief that all behaviors can be trained away. Through compelling stories about dogs like Mayan and Ziv, she illustrates how genetics significantly impact what's possible through training. This realistic perspective helps owners understand when to adjust expectations versus when to implement different training approaches.Whether you're a professional trainer looking to refine your e-collar skills or a pet owner wondering if this tool might help your challenging dog, this episode provides clear, practical guidance without judgment or dogma. Meg's balanced approach acknowledges both the power of positive reinforcement and the appropriate use of tools for accountability.Ready to transform your understanding of e-collar training? Listen now and discover the clarity your dog needs to thrive.Schedule your interview for the next Virtual Shadow Program here 

Vernon Oakes interviews Ginger Rumph, Executive Director of the Douglass Community Land Trust (Douglass CLT), and Silvia Inéz Salazar, Co-president of the 1417 N Street, NW Cooperative. Together, they explore the collaboration between their organizations and share insights into their ongoing initiatives. Ginger Rumph is the founding Executive Director of the Douglass CLT, a nonprofit dedicated to racial and economic equity through community-led land ownership and permanently affordable housing. While establishing Douglass CLT, she also led City First Homes, overseeing over 200 affordable units and implementing strong stewardship systems. Ginger brings decades of experience in housing and community development. She previously served as Vice President and COO of the Coalition for Nonprofit Housing & Economic Development (CNHED), where she directed policy, advocacy, fundraising, and operations. At Enterprise Community Partners, she managed national reporting systems and promoted best practices. In her hometown of Pittsburgh, she held leadership roles in housing coalitions, worked in real estate development, and served in county government revitalizing vacant properties. A former Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, she continues to practice Spanish through music. Ginger holds master's degrees in public administration and social work from the University of Pittsburgh. Silvia Inéz Salazar is Co-president of the 1417 N Street, NW Cooperative in Washington, DC's Logan Circle, representing 83 diverse working families. Her leadership began in 2005 when she co-founded a tenant association to address dangerous housing conditions, including over 200 code violations. She mobilized residents against displacement and gentrification, building partnerships with legal, government, and community organizations. Silvia collaborated with the Latino Economic Development Center to produce The Demise of Condo-Zilla, a bilingual children's play that brought media attention to their struggle. She also led a partnership with the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian to showcase Mayan art by tenants. Legal efforts secured $500,000 in pro bono support, ultimately helping residents purchase the building and form a cooperative. Beyond her housing work, Silvia has served as board chair for several justice-focused organizations and currently leads the Douglass Community Land Trust. Since 2003, she has worked at the NIH, advancing health equity through research and advocacy.

8/13/25 - Born in rural Oklahoma in 1935, Blessed Stanley Rother was a diocesan priest who answered the call to serve as a missionary in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, where he ministered to the indigenous Tz'utujil people for 13 years. He learned both Spanish and the local Mayan dialect, translated the New Testament into their native language, and worked tirelessly as a pastor, teacher, and friend amid growing political unrest and violence. As government death squads began targeting Church leaders who defended the poor, Fr. Rother refused to abandon his flock, famously declaring, “The shepherd cannot run at the first sign of danger.” On July 28, 1981, he was assassinated in his rectory, becoming the first U.S.-born priest declared a martyr by the Catholic Church.

8.12.25 - Day 11/13 of the Blue Monkey Wavespell - Magnetic Moon 18 Blue Monkey, the wavespell, is a slog through child-centric behavior, and sometimes trauma. We have had a stretch of impulsivity, playfulness and magical thinking, and now it's time to get serious. It's familiar that this point in the summer is when we start to think of fall, and the return to school or work and the demands of a descending darker season. It's always around now that we click into gear for our Magnetic Moon of the Mayan year, and can't avoid or let go unnoticed what is our emerging purpose for the whole 13 moons. This, also, makes us more sedate than the Blue Monkey tribe is capable of. Hopefully you had fun, and lightness of spirit, or were just oblivious to the 'adult' demands of our culture, and can return to it refreshed, relaxed and open.

In episode 121 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication, J. Evan Raitt shares how an infamously frustrating game first sparked his interest in design, which eventually led to a make-your-own-game elective in college and most recently to the creation of Shifting Stones. We talk about the theme being inspired by his fascination with traditional Mayan glyphs, how other […]

Valeriana is an ancient, lost city in Southern Mexico hidden under jungle canopy for centuries, recently discovered via a Google search. How did that happen you ask? Luke Auld-Thomas' research on Mayan settlements had him poking around on the internet which led him to a LIDAR survey - a laser-based technology used in this case for terrain mapping. When he ran the data, he realized there was an entire city, of a significant size, entirely covered in dense vegetation. Could there be more of these ancient settlements, just a few clicks away, waiting to be found? Tulane doctoral student Luke Auld-Thomas joins The Excerpt to share how he stumbled into the discovery of a lifetime.

This week, we're taking a one-way trip to the jungle with The Ruins!   What starts as a fun vacation quickly spirals into a grisly fight for survival when a group of friends stumbles upon an off-the-map Mayan temple. But the real horror isn't what's inside, it's what's growing on the outside.   Body horror, paranoia, and nature turning against you in the most brutal ways! This underrated gem is not for the squeamish. Let's dig into the vines, the screams, and that infamous scene that made everyone fear plants forever.

Have you ever wondered about ancient Egypt? Imagine talking to a Pharoh who lived more than 3,000 years ago. What was life like back then? What did they think about the pyramids and the Sphinx? In this episode Christy brings in King Akhenaten and we get to ask all sorts of questions. Imagine creating a sci-fi/fantasy world and writing more than twenty novels, more than a hundred short stories, more than a dozen volumes of poetry, five translations, and thirteen children's books. Ursula LeGuin also comes through and explains how she was able to access a dimension allowing it all to flow through her What happens when a Pharaoh who once ruled through 'decree and flame' meets an author who built 'libraries with words'? They came in together, they say, on a day marked by unique astrological weather and the opening of a Lion's Gate portal, a time of balance and inner glow, connected to a Mayan calendar "rhythm sun" and an earthly feast day. Prepare to hear their profound insights on everything from the true nature of the sun and the sacred meaning of the Aten – depicted as a solar disc with rays ending in human hands, representing a presence within everything, not a God above – to the surprising purpose of the ancient pyramids as places of transformation, not decay. You'll discover their perspectives on the Sphinx, which was seen as an old, powerful resonator or being, not just a monumen. We'll also touch upon the belief that the pyramids were built with technology brought to them, indicating a different understanding of their origins than what we currently hold.
