Happy Spring! In this solo episode, I explore the spiritual meaning of the spring equinox and why this powerful seasonal shift has been honored across ancient civilizations, pagan traditions, and major religions. I share the historical roots of the equinox, its connection to rebirth and renewal, and how increasing light affects us both spiritually and biologically. Together, we look at how you can align your energy with the season in a grounded and meaningful way. I also offer a simple, intentional spring practice you can use to reset, rebalance, and welcome new growth into your life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How did yoga, a Sanskrit word for "union," become a Satanic practice, at least according to religious zealots? In fact, yoga has the same meaning as can be found in most religions and spiritual practices, i.e., unifying the body and mind. It appears that rejecting this concept actually embraces the oppositional quality of Satanism.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Balak takes Bilaam higher and higher on the mountains overlooking the camp of Israel. At each location he sets up 7 altars and brings elaborate sacrifices. The Pagan assumption is that increased vision (and altitude?) would facilitate a spell, a curse; and that sacrifices could force God's hand. But the story turns satirical as Bilaam defies all expectations and King Balak gets increasingly angry.

Tonight on Black Dragon Biker TV: A full plate of MC drama, legal fights, enforcement moves, and must-know survival tips for 2026.Disrespect Between Hells Angels and Bandidos Causes 'Real-World Sons of Anarchy' Biker Gang War on Village Streets in the UKA long-simmering feud between Hells Angels and Bandidos supporters exploded into open violence on the streets of a quiet UK village in late February 2026. The incident — described by local media as a “real-world Sons of Anarchy moment” — involved multiple riders exchanging blows, weapons drawn, and chaos spilling onto public roads. Police made several arrests; tensions remain high. We'll break down what sparked it, how it played out, and why disrespect between these two giants still ignites real-world wars even across the pond.Pagans Member in Wawa Shooting Seeks Dismissal of Charges / Reduction in BailGeorge Hripto Jr. (50, Pagans MC) — one of nine defendants charged in the October 2025 West Norriton Wawa parking lot shootout (six wounded, including two bystanders) — filed a motion to dismiss charges and/or reduce his $500,000 cash bail. Defense argues insufficient evidence on some counts and that bail is “unattainable.” Latest court update came in the last 24–48 hours (as of March 11, 2026). Joint trial for all defendants still scheduled for May 18, 2026. We'll discuss the odds of dismissal, bail strategy in MC cases, and what this means for club members facing long pre-trial detention.Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Postponed Hearing Related to Alleged Bandidos Biker Bar HangoutThe Arkansas ABC postponed a scheduled March 10, 2026 hearing for Burks Brothers Brewing in Bryant, Arkansas — a bar heavily associated with Bandidos MC members. The postponement came after a June 2025 stabbing/fight at the location involving Bandidos affiliates. ABC issued violations for allowing disorderly conduct, violence, and potential gang activity on premises. Bar owners are fighting to keep the liquor license; a whistleblower lawsuit by a former Bryant PD detective alleges police corruption and interference tied to the bar. No new hearing date yet — owners started a GoFundMe for legal defense.11 Things Every MC Should Do to Operate in 2026We lay out the must-do list for any club — old school or new — to survive and thrive in the current climate:Secure your trademarks & IP now (before someone challenges it).Document everything — minutes, votes, finances — for legal protection.Train on de-escalation & self-defense laws in your state.Use encrypted comms (Signal, etc.) — feds monitor open channels.Get club insurance (liability, event coverage).Build strong community ties — charity runs, youth outreach — to counter negative stereotypes.Vet prospects harder — background checks, no snitches.Set clear old lady / family boundaries to avoid internal drama.Stay off social media beefs — post wins, not wars.Know your local ABC/liquor laws if you have a hangout bar.Prepare for RICO — keep club business separate from personal/criminal acts.Join Black Dragon, Lavish T.

Born from Clive Barker's 1984 horror fiction but rooted in genuine British pagan tradition, Rawhead Rex represents modern folklore at its most visceral. This isn't an ancient legend—it's a contemporary monster that tapped into real fears about buried gods, standing stones, and pre-Christian powers lurking beneath Britain's soil. When a farmer breaks the seal imprisoning this nine-foot creature of muscle and teeth, it brings with it an appetite that hasn't been satisfied in over a thousand years—and a reminder that new folklore emerges when fiction resonates deeply enough with our ancient terrors.   freakyfolklore.com   #RawheadRex #BritishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #PaganGods #RuralHorror #ForgottenDeities #AncientEvil #CliveBarker #EnglishLegends #FieldGods #PreChristianMyths #BritishHorror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com  Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror    SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion  Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion   CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/   SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!   DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/   Crypt Shop: https: //the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/   MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.   Learn more about your ad choices.

"It's not that it's fake, it's that it's evil." That was what today's guest replied when I asked him to describe the nature of paganism. It's a term that we usually associate with Ancient Rome. But John Daniel Davidson uses a more expansive definition of this particular outlook on the supernatural, and he warns against it in the strongest possible terms. John is a senior editor at The Federalist and the author of 'Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come.' Today we speak about the dangers of re-enchantment, and why John believes that the dark side of the supernatural must be regarded with the utmost seriousness. Hosted on Acast.

When we read the epistles of St. Paul, we are mainly reading letters written by an Apostle to former pagans. These were people who had grown up in the world of the Roman Empire. It was a world of great military power and of amazing engineering feats, but also one of great decadence.These people were not just used to leading immoral lives; leading such lives was a way of life. In other words, it was considered normal behavior to be immoral. By this, I mean getting drunk, committing fornication, seeking after riches, and so on.Then, this Jewish man named Paul came into their lives, explaining to them that God Himself came down upon this earth and that He taught what we are made for, He redeemed us from our sins, and He showed us how we must live our lives in order to get to Heaven.Many of these pagans converted and, when they did, they completely changed their lives. They stopped living as pagans in the Roman Empire and started living as Catholics.At the same time, they still had to struggle greatly against their old habits, particularly the habit of impurity. It is striking that, in today's epistle and in last Sunday's epistle, the Church wants us to read St. Paul exhorting these former pagans to fight against impurity.We are Catholics living 2,000 years later, we are in the middle of the penitential season of Lent, and the Church wants us to hear these words of the Apostle Paul to help us make that same fight against sins of the flesh that the first Catholics were doing.Today, I would like us to hear some words of these two epistles about impurity, to understand what they mean, and also to understand why it is so important to fight impurity.

Title: The Oracles Concerning Israel and the Pagan Nations Scripture: Numbers 24:10-25 Speaker: Dr. Vic Borden Date: March 8, 2026 AM

Debut novelists Tobi Coventry and India-Rose Bower join Joe Haddow for a war of the words. They chat about their new novels ("He's The Devil" and "We Call Them Witches") as well as their love for the horror genre, their inspirations - and why queer horror is in a renaissance right now. Tobi and India also give us some brilliant book recommendations too. (whilst this episode celebrates the horror genre - you don't have to be a 'horror fan' to enjoy it!)THE BOOK OFF 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower' by Stephen Chboskey VS 'Last To Leave The Room' by Caitlin StarlingAnd here's more info on our guests novels: 'He's The Devil' by Tobi Coventry Simon has always been a good boy. He's invariably employee of the month at the seasonal small plates restaurant where he works, he neurotically tidies his home, he keeps on top of repairs on behalf of his twenty-something, permanently-abroad landlord and tries to do right by everyone. But when his best and only friend, Josh, moves out of their shared flat, Simon is lonelier than ever – until in moves a new flatmate, the strange (and strangely sexy) Massimo.But Massimo's brought something with him. Odd sounds emerge from Massimo's room, smells of earth and meat drift through the corridor and Simon's nights fill with disturbing and tantalising dreams. Massimo is awakening something in Simon, something wild and exciting and horrifying that could be the end of him – or maybe a new beginning. But whatever's in Massimo, whatever's in the flat, isn't finished. It wants more.'We Call Them Witches' by India-Rose Bower Sara and her family must keep moving. Every few months, they're discovered, and they have to pack up and get out quick.For the twins it's all they've ever known, for Danny, Noah and Ma, it's a reminder of all they've lost.For Sara, it's just another day. In yet another abandoned house, one they surround with Pagan wards – the only thing that protects them – Sara and her family think they might be safe, for a while at least.And then they find a strange girl in the garden. Parsley can't remember where she came from or how she got here. The family sees only a threat, but Sara sees hope.But outside they are waiting. The eldritch creatures. The ones they call Witches.The ones who already stole everything.And now, just days after the Parsley arrives, they steal something even more valuable: Noah. It's time to stop running. It's time to leave the safety of the wards, and try to find Noah in the witches' lair. It's just that no-one has ever done that and come out alive... Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode, Kala and I move into Lesson Three of the Tempering Path: Before the Spell, Energy Flow and Ritual Readiness. This is where preparation becomes practice.We talk about what it actually means to know your baseline, to understand how your energy moves through your body, and how to prepare yourself before engaging in energetic, spiritual, or magical work. Not in theory. Not in aesthetic ritual posts. In real, lived, human terms. What do you do before you cast? What happens during the work? What should be tending afterward? We break down how to approach energy flow responsibly, how to avoid spiritual overextension, and how to care for your physical body while working with the unseen.This episode is about readiness, not performance. It's about building sustainable practice, so your magic doesn't cost you more than it gives. If you've ever wondered how to prepare your energy safely, protect your nervous system, and make your spellwork more intentional and effective, this conversation will ground you.So pour your tea, take a breath, and join us as we step into the foundations that come before the spell.This path isn't about perfection; it's about presence. Let's begin.A NOTE ON ADVERTISEMENTS: While I can add ads for revenue, I have no control over the ads that are being run.

I'm just a plain-Jane kind of girl from the Southern US, raised on cornbread, front porch stories, and in the rhythm of Southern Baptist Sundays. My path to Paganism has been long, winding, often surprising, and full of unexpected turns. I didn't find it all at once. The more I leaned into my dreams, my intuition, and my experiences with spirit, the more the world began to shimmer with meaning. The gods, the dead, the land – all of it was speaking. These days, I'm a priestess of death and rebirth, of sovereignty and sacred mischief. I walk with spirits. I work with Gods who burn away illusions and shine light into shadow. My magic is devotional and practical, grounded and ecstatic. I believe in sacred rest, in the wisdom of the body, and in building spiritual homes for people like us, the seekers, the weirdos, the ones who never stopped asking questions. Now, I walk a path of devotion, sovereignty, and mystery with The Unseen Flame.When I am not doing my priestess work, I can be found crocheting, reading, or playing games with my friends on Discord.Join the Discord.

Jason Mankey is a Pagan author and witchcraft educator known for his work The Witches' Book of Shadows. In this book, Mankey explores the historical roots and modern practice of maintaining a Book of Shadows—a personal spiritual journal used to record rituals, spells, reflections, and evolving beliefs. He examines how the tradition developed within contemporary Pagan and Wiccan movements, emphasizing that a Book of Shadows is both a practical magical tool and a living document of spiritual growth. Mankey presents witchcraft as a path of intention, self-awareness, and ethical responsibility grounded in study and personal experience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Wyrd-iversary: 10 Years and 100 Episodes of Gifts of the Wyrd In this special milestone episode, I'm celebrating the 100th episode of Gifts of the Wyrd and ten years of podcasting. From the first recording in 2016 to conversations with authors, folklorists, creators, and practitioners across the wider Pagan and Heathen communities, this episode reflects on how the show began, how it evolved from “Heathen NPR” to something closer to “Pagan NPR,” and what I've learned along the way. I share favorite topics — from runes to Dark Christmas folklore — and reflect on the joy of learning the "behind the scenes" with creators. Most of all, this episode is a thank you to the listeners, guests, publishers, and friends who have made these ten years possible.

A Place Where God Will Live Ephesians 2:11-22 by William Klock In today's Old Testament lesson we hear King Solomon praying at the dedication of the temple.  The temple was finally completed and Solomon gathered the elders of Israel at the tabernacle, where they offered sacrifices too many to number.  Then with the priests leading them with the ark of the covenant, they processed up the mountain to the temple.  When they'd placed it in the holy of holies, the presence of the Lord, the shekinah, the cloud of his glory descended to fill the temple as it once had the tabernacle.  And Solomon prayed.  He prayed for the new temple and he prayed for his people.  He prayed that they would be faithful.  And then, our lesson today, he prayed for the foreigners, for the gentiles who might come to the Lord's temple having heard of his great name, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm—that coming to the temple, they would know his glory.  Solomon's kingdom was, however imperfectly, a fulfilment of the Lord's promise to Abraham to make Israel a light to the nations.  And the nations came to Israel and to Solomon, because they saw and because they heard of the Lord's reputation.  Not only had he blessed his people, but in him they saw a god unlike their own.  And so they came, and they saw for themselves the goodness of the Lord, the God of Israel.  And Solomon knew, too, that they would come to the temple that he'd built.  So he prayed that when these foreigners came and prayed, that the Lord would answer them, that he would make himself known to them, so that “all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel.”  Again, this wasn't some one-off prayer that Solomon came up with.  Solomon's prayer is rooted in the promises of God and in the story of his people.  Solomon knew that the world is not as it should be; Solomon knew the Lord's promises to set it to rights; and Solomon knew that God had given an integral role to his people to bring the fulfilment of those promises.  And Solomon great desire was for his people to be faithful to that calling, to that vocation—faithful to be a temple people. Now, this imagery and idea of the temple wasn't new with Israel; it goes all the way back to the beginning of the story.  The garden was God's first temple.  And the man and woman he created—he created them—us—to bear his image.  That means to be his representatives in the temple, to serve him, and steward his goodness to the rest of creation.  We rejected that vocation and the story ever since has been about God restoring his temple and his people.  Two weeks ago, when we looked at Ephesians 2:1-10, we saw how Jesus—the one in whom God and humanity have come together—represents God's work to restore his temple, but we also saw there that, as Paul stresses so much, what is true of Jesus is also true of those who are in him.  One day his people will be raised to be like him—heaven and earth people—but in the meantime, God has filled his church—filled us—with his Spirit as a foretaste and a down payment of that hope.  Brothers and Sisters, that means that we, purified by the blood of Jesus and filled with God's Spirit, we're now the temple—not a temple of bricks and mortar, but a temple of people filled with God's presence. Just as Solomon prayed that the nations would know the glorious reputation of the God of Israel through his people and come to meet him at his temple, our prayer, our desire, our commitment ought to be that the world will know God's glorious reputation through us and come to meet him here.  What God promised to Adam and Eve, to Abraham, to Moses, to the people through the Prophets is now reality in us.  The promise isn't completely fulfilled.  One day the knowledge of the glory of God will fill the earth.  On that day the new creation that began when Jesus rose from the dead will come to full fruit.  Creation and us with it will be made fully new.  God will wipe every last remaining bit of evil from the world and sin and death will be no more.  But, Brothers and Sisters, here's the really important thing here: The church—you and I and everyone else who is in Jesus the Messiah—we are God's vehicle to get the world to that point.  The church is God's means of making his glory known until it fills the earth.  And that ought to get us reflecting on how faithful we are to our mission.  When the world looks at the Church, when it looks at Christians, does what we say and do and live declare the glory of God: his great name, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm?  (To put it as Solomon did.)  Does what we say and do and live give the world a desire to come to the church to meet God?  Do we at least make the world constructively curious?  If not, we need to reflect on our priorities and on what we're doing. And this is true of everyone who is in Jesus the Messiah, but Paul, writing to the Ephesians who were mostly gentile believers, wants to stress to them just how significant it is that through Jesus and the Spirit they have been made a part of this temple people.  Brothers and Sisters, this is something that we don't spend enough time talking about and reflecting on.  For Paul, the unification of Jews and gentiles in the Messiah was at the heart of the gospel.  It was the proof that God was fulfilling his promises.  This church, made up of Jews and gentiles, men and women, rich and poor, slave and free, all together, unified, one body was a testimony to the glory of God.  In fact, for Paul, it was the testimony of the gospel's power. And I don't think it's even on the radar for many of us today, because we've become so used to and even so complacent about divisions within the church.  Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, Mennonites, Romans, and Eastern Orthodox—and those are just some older divisions amongst us before we got really split-happy in the last century or two.  And it's not just theology and polity.  I suspect Paul might have at least a little sympathy for those sorts of divisions, especially over serious, gospel-compromising theological matters.  But Paul would be furious to see how we divide over things like language and ethnicity.  The English are here and the Germans are at that Lutheran church and the Swedes at that other Lutheran church and the Italians and Spanish and Filipinos are at the Roman church and the Greeks at the Greek Orthodox, the Russians at the Russian Orthodox, the Ukrainians at the Ukrainian Orthodox, the Syrians at the Syrian Orthodox.  The Dutch are in their Reformed church and the Scots are in their Reformed church.  And there's a church just for Chinese-speakers and another for Afrikaans and so on and on.  And you've got Messianic Jews forming their own synagogues.  And Paul would be shouting at us and asking, “Haven't you read a single thing I've written to you?  Your divisions are undermining the very gospel you claim to preach!” Paul did not want this to happen in the Ephesian churches, but even more than that, he wanted the people in those churches, especially he wanted them to appreciate just what God had done for them in Jesus and the Spirit, because if we understand what God has done to make us one, we'll hopefully be far less likely to let it be undone.  So, Paul writes in Ephesians 2:11-12 and reminds them of what they used to be: “Therefore, remember this: In human terms—that is, in your ‘flesh'—you are ‘gentiles'.  You are the people whom the so-called circumcision refer to as the so-called uncircumcision—circumcision, of course, being something done by human hands to human flesh.  Well, once upon a time you were separated from the Messiah.  You were alienated from the community of Israel.  You were foreigners to the covenants of promise.  There you were in the world, with no hope and no God.” You were gentiles.  Of course, Gentiles didn't think of themselves that way.  They were just regular people; it was the Jews who were weird.  But the fact that Paul can say this to them, “You were gentiles” means that they've now been brought into the family of Israel.  And just in case they might have forgotten the significance of that, he describes them as having been outsiders with this string of descriptors that work up to a crescendo of alienation. First, they were separated from the Messiah—from the rightful King.  The Messiah was some weird thing the Jews were into.  What would Greeks or Romans—who were oh, so superior—want to have to do with him?  And even if they did, the Messiah wasn't part of their story.  Then second, Paul says that they were alienated from the community—the commonwealth as the King James puts it—of Israel.  They were foreigners.  Israel was not their nation and Israel's God was not their God.  Even if they did see something attractive in Israel and went to the temple in Jerusalem—think of Solomon's prayer for the foreign visitors who would come—there was a wall between the court of the gentiles and the court of the women.  In Paul's day there was an inscription on that wall warning that foreigners passed it on pain of death.  Gentiles could look from a distance, but they were cut off from the living God.  And third, they were foreigners to the covenants of promise.  Most of them had never heard of Abraham or Moses, but if they had, that simply wasn't their story and it certainly wasn't their family.  They didn't belong there.  Whatever promises the God of Israel had made, those promises were not for the gentiles.  And Paul then sums it all up and says: You were in the world without God and without hope. I think Paul intends a bit of irony there.  When he says they were without God he uses a word that essentially means they were atheists.  And “atheist” is exactly what the gentiles called Jews and the first Christians.  Because Jews and Christians worshipped only one God and one God might as well have been no god to them with their vast pantheons.  And Jews and Christians refused to take part in the pagan worship and festivals that ran all through gentile life and society.  And so Paul flips it around.  “No, it was you gentiles, separated from the Messiah, alienated from Israel, foreigners to the covenant promises—it was you who were the atheists.  You were the ones without God.  And because of that you had no hope.  And if being called atheists didn't make an impact, I have to think this would have.  Because it's not that the Greeks and Romans didn't understand the idea of hope; it's that they had no reason, no grounds to live with hope.  No one in their world believed in progress the way people do today.  That idea is rooted in our biblical heritage.  They thought things just went round and round in cycles—forever stuck.  And while their philosophers might talk about life after death, it was all very vague and not hopeful at all.  Hesiod imprisoned hope in the bottom of Pandora's box, lost forever.  Aristotle and others wrote about hope as fickle and treacherous—a foolish thing to trust in.  Things could go wrong just as easily as they could go right.  Hope just wasn't a big deal for the Greeks.  But in stark contrast, hope was at the centre of the whole Jewish and early Christian worldview.  As I said last time, no one in the pagan world would have ever dreamed that the gods loved them or even really cared about them, so why would anyone in the pagan world have reason to hope?  So Paul sums it all up: Without God and without hope, the gentiles were alone and lost in the world.  Paul reminds them just how bleak things were for them before they were captured by the gospel.  I think it's a good thing for us to reflect on this ourselves and if we did, I think we would have a greater appreciation for what God has done for us and for what he has made his church. So after painting this bleak and pitiful picture of where these people were before Jesus, Paul cuts through the hopelessness and despair.  Like he did with that great, “But God!” in verse 3, now in verse 13 he practically shouts out, “But now!” “But now, in Messiah Jesus, you who used to be far away have been brough near by the Messiah's blood.  He is our peace, you see.  He has made the two to be one.  He has pulled down the barrier, the dividing wall, that turns us into enemies of each other.  He has done this in his flesh, by abolishing the law with its commands and instructions.” Paul wrote about the Messiah's blood back in Chapter 1.  Jesus' blood is the means through which God has accomplished redemption and forgiveness.  This was the great, once-and-for-all-time sacrifice that the Old Testament sacrificial system was pointing to all along.  In the Old Testament, sacrificial blood was like a disinfectant.  It cleansed the tabernacle and later the temple; and it cleansed the people of Israel so that the holy God could come to his people and dwell with them.  Pagan sacrifices were all about killing valuable animals to placate the gods.  In Israel, the sacrifices were all about the blood—a symbol of God-given life—and that blood was shed to wash away the stain of sin and death so that God could come and dwell and fellowship with his people.  Brothers and Sisters, the blood of Jesus, shed at the cross, has fully accomplished once and for all and for everyone what the Old Testament sacrifices did partially and temporarily.  And in doing that, God has abolished the law. You see, the law was the thing that set Israel apart from the rest of the world and Paul saw that wall in the court of the gentiles as symbolic of it.  The law, like that wall, kept the gentiles out of God's people, out of his covenant, and out of his promises.  The law marked out the gentiles as idolaters and as unclean—unworthy of God's presence.  But Jesus' blood has washed us clean—Jew and gentile alike—making both the law and the wall that kept the gentiles out irrelevant.  In Jesus, God had brought these Greek believers into the family—fully and no longer aliens and foreigners.  And why?  Paul goes on in the second half of verse 15: “The point of doing all this was to create, in him, one new humanity out of the two, so making peace.  God was reconciling  both of us to himself in a single body, through the cross, by killing the enmity in him.” Do you remember the first thing the risen Jesus said to his disciples when he entered that locked-up house where they were hiding after he'd been crucified?  It was “Peace”.  Shalom.  Peace is what the world looks like set to rights.  And so it makes perfect sense that “Peace” would be the first thing Jesus would say to his disciples after rising from death and inaugurating God's new creation.  He'd just begun the work of setting the world to rights.  And for Paul, this new humanity—Jews and gentiles, once divided by the law, but now brought together—this new humanity, the church, is the first sign of God's peace breaking out into the world.  The church is the sign of the new age.  As I've said before, we are God's working model of his new creation.  Jesus has killed the enmity that was once between us and he has reconciled both to God and, through that, to each other.  Jesus' blood as washed us clean and Paul stresses regularly to his fellow Jews, this means there's no longer any reason to consider gentile believers in Jesus to be unclean.  We gentiles, with hearts renewed by the Holy Spirit, have turned away from our idols to serve the living God and by the blood of Jesus he has washed us clean.  And if there's any doubt, Paul would point to the fact that the same Spirit has come to fill the gentile believers who first filled the Jewish believers.  So he goes on in verse 17: “So the [he Messiah] came and proclaimed peace, to you who were far off and to those who were near.  Through him we both have access to the Father in one Spirit.”  Again, it's all the fulfilment of God's promises.  In Isaiah 57 God had promised that he would heal the broken and humble in spirit and give peace: peace for those far off and peace for those who are near.  He's now done that in Jesus and the unity of the church—these people who were once separated, these people who once hated each other—their unity in the Messiah as one people is the proof, the testimony, the witness of God's faithfulness and the power of the gospel. And Paul, again, wants to drive this home.  Look at verses 19 to 22: “So then [—this is the result—] you are no longer foreigners and aliens.  No, you are fellow citizens with God's holy people.  You are members of God's household.  You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Messiah Jesus himself as the cornerstone.  In him the whole building is fitted together, and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.  You, too, are being built up together, in him, into a place where God will live by the Spirit.” The point of all this is that through Jesus and the Spirit, the living God has welcomed us into this amazing story.  We've been adopted into a family that was not ours.  We were poor, dirty refugees without hope, but God has washed us clean in the blood of Jesus, he has made us welcome members of his family, and most importantly, he has come to dwell with us.  He has filled us—aliens, foreigners, strangers, gentiles—with his Spirit—the presence that he had promised to his own people and in doing that he has made us holy.  And just just because.  God has a purpose for us.  He always has. And this is where Paul stops hinting at things with temple language and imagery and comes out and says it: God has done this in order to establish a new temple.  For centuries the Jews had been waiting for God's presence to return to the temple, not that unlike the way so many Jews today go to the Western Wall and pray for a new temple and God's return.  Brother and Sisters, Paul's stressing that God has, in fact, returned, that he has built a new temple, and that he now dwells with his people.  But not in a stone building on the mountain above Jerusalem.  He has built is new temple and returned to live with his people through Jesus and the Spirit. And, again, that means that we—the church—are God's ongoing means of fulfilling his promises to set creation to rights.  God's presence with us is the sign that one day his presence will fill all of creation.  We are the temple, the working model of new creation.  As we proclaim the gospel, we proclaim the glories of God to the world.  As we live the gospel, we put on display the glories of God to the world.  And our unity in Jesus and the Spirit—something we've often forgotten—is one of the most important ways we ought to be living out the gospel.  Just as there was one temple in Israel, there is only one church.  By our divisions and schism and arguments, by our elevating language and race and nation over the gospel, we've often obscured this reality, but Brothers and Sisters, there is but one church and the unity of that one church across our natural divisions of language and race—and class, and status, and every other way the world divides and separates us—that unity is meant to be a witness.  A witness to the power of the gospel.  A witness to the power of Jesus and the cleansing power of his blood.  A witness to the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer.  And most of all, witness to the faithfulness of God, who has been true to his promises.  And through that, our unity becomes a witness to a bleak and hopeless world of God's coming new creation—not just of the world set to rights, but of humanity set to rights within it: one people, renewed and purified, in fellowship forever with the living God. Let's pray: Gracious Father, you have purified us by the blood of your Son and filled us with your Spirit to make us your temple.  Pour out your grace that we might be faithful stewards of the gifts you have given us.  Teach us to guard the unity of your church, so that the nations will see in us a witness to your mighty hand, your outstretched arm, and your great name.  And when they draw near, hear their prayers, we ask, that they might know your great name as we have, through your Son and through your Spirit.  Amen.

Spring doesn't arrive politely, and neither does real change.In this episode, we're talking about Ostara as it actually feels in your bones, not just the pastel version with bunnies and eggs. We explore the equinox as a hinge point, the only time when light and dark are truly balanced, and why that balance creates tension, storms, and movement. From ancient equinox observances aligned to the sun, to the modern Pagan celebration of Ostara shaped by the Wheel of the Year, we unpack where this sabbat comes from and what it's asking of us now.We share a couple of easy & witchy ways to prepare for the season, including an Ostara egg spell where hidden sigils are revealed in dye and old stress is literally smashed and returned to the earth. This is about messy becoming, cracking shells, and walking straight through the storm toward what you actually want.If you've been feeling restless, scattered, or called to finally start something you've been planning since Imbolc, this one's for you.Got a question?

Valentine's Day wasn't always roses and overpriced chocolate.Before heart-shaped candy boxes and awkward dinner reservations, there were martyrs, secret marriages, pagan festivals, and stories that feel more like horror folklore than romance.In this episode of Late Night Legends, Ashley dives into the dark, chaotic origins of Valentine's Day — from Saint Valentine's mysterious executions to ancient Roman rituals like Lupercalia, and how a bloody past turned into a billion-dollar celebration of love.K, Tim, and Maria join the discussion as the Legends break down the myths, historical facts, and strange traditions that shaped modern Valentine's Day — and debate how they actually feel about it today.Is it romantic? Commercialized? Pagan? Misunderstood?Or is love just another beautifully repackaged relic of something darker?Tell us where you stand in the comments.

Pagans Bail Hearing, Hells Angels Crackdowns & Policing ControversyToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're covering court developments, international enforcement actions, and a policing controversy that's raising eyebrows.⚖️ A second Pagans Motorcycle Club member charged in the West Norriton Wawa shootout is now seeking reduced bail. We'll discuss what this means procedurally, how bail hearings work in cases like this, and what could come next. Internationally, three Hells Angels members from New Zealand have reportedly been barred from entering the Philippines, highlighting how some countries are tightening entry restrictions tied to club affiliation.

Modern pagans despise Christian sexual morality, but they are forced to borrow from it as they condemn the kind of horrific treatment of women and children revealed in the Epstein files. __________ For additional resources, or to download and share this commentary, visit breakpoint.org. 

Continuing through the Gospel of Luke, this message explores the remarkable faith of the Roman centurion who trusted that Jesus could heal with “just a word.” In a world divided by power, politics, and social barriers, his humility and compassion reveal a faith that Jesus declares greater than any in Israel. The sermon reminds us that true prayer is not about eloquence or length, but simple, sincere trust in God's authority and care. Through the power of God's Word—from creation to Christ to the prayers of His people—we are invited to speak life, healing, and hope for others. Keep praying, keep trusting, and never doubt that God works through even the simplest prayer.

What is that in the air? Could it be… love? HA! Bet you thought we'd say death! Today we recognize Valentine's Day by looking at the origins of Valentine's Day, including the grizzly execution of its namesake Saint Valentine. Sorry, we can't help ourselves, but we do what we love! We also take a look at the lost (and frankly much cooler sounding) Pagan version of the holiday known as Lupercalia with its ample displays of debauchery. Plus we take a gander at Valentine's Day mascot Cupid, that lovable cherub scamp that spreads love by shooting people with arrows; the epic poem that tied the concept of love with the death of a martyred saint; and how St. Valentine (amongst others) is the Patron Saint of Epilepsy. Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is here, so snuggle up to that special someone, read them the entirety of Geoffrey Chaucer's “The Parliament of Fowls,” and most importantly, listen in, Land of the Living!Links for today's episode:Origins of Valentine's Dayhttps://www.history.com/articles/valentines-day-originLupercaliahttps://www.history.com/articles/lupercaliaWho is Cupid?https://www.history.com/articles/who-is-cupidTranslation of Geoffrey Chaucer's “The Parliament of Fowls”https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/English/Fowls.phpSt. Valentines and Others: The Patron Saints of Epilepsyhttps://www.epilepsy.org.uk/news/st-valentine-and-others-patron-saints-of-epilepsy#deathiseverything #DeathIsEverythingPodcast  #DIEwithMarianne #DIEwithMarianneandChris #DIEwithMCA #deathinpsiration #deathpodcast #LApodcast #takingchances #landoftheliving #ValentinesDay #StValentine #holidays #Lupercalia #cupid #loveThanks for listening, Land of the Living! Subscribe, and follow us on Instagram @die.podcast  for updates! Check out deathiseverything.com for merchandise, our mailing list, and more!

We speak because we are afraid to be still. We speak because silence exposes us. We speak because when the mouth closes the heart begins to make noise and that noise is often unbearable. The Fathers knew this long before psychology gave it names. They knew that speech is not neutral. It is not just communication. It is an outflow of what is ruling the inner world. Every word carries the weight of the heart behind it. This is why Abba Pambo could stand at death and say that he had not repented of a single word and yet also say that he had not even begun to serve God. He knew what speech costs. He knew how easily a careless phrase can wound another, harden the self or invite the demons into the space between people. He did not trust his own clarity. He waited. He let months pass rather than speak a word that was not born from God. That kind of restraint feels almost inhuman to us. We live in a world that rewards immediacy. We are trained to answer quickly, react quickly, express quickly, post quickly, correct quickly. But speed is not truth. Speed is often panic wearing a clever face. The monk who waits to speak is not slow. He is standing before God inside himself. He is listening for something that is not his own. The Elder says that a man can be silent with his lips and loud with his heart. That is the most damning line in this whole section. You can say nothing and still be screaming. You can be quiet and still be condemning everyone around you. You can appear peaceful while your mind is devouring your brothers. Another man can speak all day and yet remain silent because he refuses to let his words become weapons, judgments or self display. Silence is not a style. It is a spiritual state. Idle talk is not mostly obscene or stupid. It is unnecessary. It is speech that does not serve salvation. It is talk that fills the space so we do not have to face what is happening inside. We speak about bodies and opinions and events and annoyances and plans because these are safer than the truth of our hearts. The moment we speak about what is good we discover how quickly evil slips in. Pride sneaks into holy words. Comparison sneaks into spiritual conversation. The self sneaks into everything. This is why the Elder answers the brother who wants a word to be saved with something that sounds almost trivial. Do not hasten to speak before you consider what you are going to say. That is not etiquette. That is warfare. To pause before speaking is to interrupt the automatic rule of the ego. It is to refuse to let the tongue be driven by irritation, hunger for recognition or the need to be right. It is to create a small space where God might enter. Most of what we say is not meant to help anyone. It is meant to regulate ourselves. We speak to soothe anxiety. We speak to discharge frustration. We speak to draw attention. We speak to feel real. We speak to avoid the ache of not being in control. The mouth becomes a narcotic. The more we use it the less we notice how enslaved we are to it. This is why the Fathers are so severe. They are not moralizing. They are diagnosing a sickness. The soul that cannot keep watch over its words cannot keep watch over its thoughts. The heart that pours itself out through constant speech cannot remain gathered before God. It leaks. It disperses. It becomes weak. The tragedy is that we confuse expression with honesty. We think that saying what we feel is the same as bringing it to God. It is not. Most of the time it just feeds the feeling. It strengthens the pattern. It builds a little kingdom around the self. We call it authenticity but it is often captivity. The monk learns slowly and painfully that every word either bends him toward God or bends him toward himself. There is no neutral speech. Either it deepens prayer or it corrodes it. Either it builds communion or it sows division. Either it creates space for grace or it fills the room with ego. This is why the saint waits. This is why the Elder warns. This is why the Fathers tremble before idle talk. They have seen what words do to the heart. They have watched souls unravel because the mouth was never taught to kneel. To learn silence is not to become mute. It is to become true. It is to let God have the first and last word inside you. And until that happens every sentence we speak is a small gamble with our soul. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:00:31 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 353 00:01:32 Fr.

What happens when a generation openly pursues the supernatural while turning away from God, searching for meaning and identity in everything but Him? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive into the rising tide of paganism, astrology, witchcraft, and spiritual experimentation among Gen Z, exploring why young people are so drawn to these practices and what this reveals about both the culture and the church. The guys emphasize that this hunger points to a deeper spiritual void that only Christ can fill, and that understanding it is crucial for anyone seeking to disciple this generation.The guys examine whether Hollywood, social media, and platforms like TikTok are driving this movement or merely amplifying what has been quietly growing for years. They describe a rudderless generation marked by shallow conversions, suppressed truth, and a tendency to credit themselves rather than God for meaning. When sin is never crucified with Christ, the Spirit is quenched, and practices like tarot, astrology, or alternative spirituality rush in to fill the vacuum. Some of the guys share personal experiences from before their salvation, recalling encounters with the spiritual realm that they once dismissed but now recognize as very real.Rather than responding with fear, the conversation moves to hope and practical discernment. Oscar notes that a pagan is often closer to conversion than a hardened materialist, because the longing for transcendence reveals a God-given hunger. As secularism flattens culture into monotony, people seek healing and purpose wherever they can find it. Paganism may offer a sense of community, empowerment, or entertainment, but only Christ provides true identity, restoration, and lasting transformation. Healing is never about managing energies or seeking control—it is found solely in the Savior who gave Himself fully for humanity.The episode concludes with a sober call to vigilance and faithfulness. Witchcraft and paganism promise freedom without moral restraint, yet scripture clearly warns that they defile and deceive, and these influences now touch the church as much as the world. The guys caution that counterfeit spirituality and emotionalism often center on man rather than God, making discernment essential. Studying scripture is the key to recognizing false teachings, because counterfeits constantly evolve. Jesus is not one spiritual option among many; He is the singular way, truth, and life, and genuine repentance requires turning away from every other doorway and following Him completely, embracing the hope and transformation only He can offer.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Segment 1 • Don't date to just find the right “vibes”… there are actual things that you should be looking for, as a believer, if you are dating. • The Bible doesn't speak directly to our experience of dating, but does direct us how to find a mate. • Want a marriage that lasts? Start asking better questions of a prospective spouse now. Segment 2 • Date for more than meets the eye: looks fade and even personalities can change • If he won't lead now, don't assume he magically will later. • Beware of dating when you are vulnerable - you won't be in the right frame of mind to make big decisions Segment 3 • Todd reviews a book on assurance: “Resting In Sovereign Grace” by pastor Joshua Banks. • You're not saved because of your performance, but because of Christ's performance on your behalf. • No Christian has ever been saved by the strength of their faith, but by the object that they place their faith in: Christ. Segment 4 • Todd reviews Nate Pickowicz's book, “Overcoming the Darkness” • Sometimes our emotional lows are more than just a bad day, and we need to be aware of prolonged seasons of emotional darkness. • There are real causes of spiritual depression that can be discovered and addressed. ___ Thanks for listening!

We begin this week in  1970's Sardinia, where a quiet, deeply devout teenage girl began to wake up every night at exactly 3:00 a.m., convinced something terrible was standing next to her bed… watching her… and waiting to enter her. Then we head to Christmas Day, 1929, when a well-liked North Carolina farmer committed the unspeakable. Has it spawned paranormal activity? Then we find ourselves visiting the same house, ten years apart, both times the home is for sale and empty... or is it? Lastly, a sweet, sad and comforting tale of a couple so deeply connected, not even death can keep them apart. Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?
