The witches hope that everyone is beginning to thaw out, and are wishing everyone an Imbolc to remember! A new beginning is around the corner, even though it doesn't feel like it for some of us - brrr, remove us from this deep freeze! But with the celebration of the full moon, what better cards to contemplate than those that deal with the very nature of change? Scarlet and Blackbird pose thought-provoking questions to each other and to you, dear listeners. What could be the midpoint in between these two cards? As has been customary in this series, the witches are loving the sharing of ideas and collaboration, and are excited to share these with you. Enjoy and thank you for listening!
We face times that try our souls so the real question facing us is: will you fight or will you hide? Join your host for a voyage through why Heathens and Pagans cannot stay on the sidelines of this struggle, how taking a stand is justified by Heathen principles, and more!Deaths by ICEIn Their Own Words - ICE in the Twin Cities feat.

In this episode, Kala and I get real about one of the most talked-about, and honestly, most misunderstood topics in witchcraft: gatekeeping. We swap stories and share the kind of lessons that only come from living it, not just reading about it. This isn't about drawing lines in the sand to keep people out; it's about knowing where healthy boundaries help a community thrive and where those boundaries need a little extra love (or a good, hard look). We discuss the difference between protecting what's sacred and shutting people out.Whether you're just finding your witchy feet or you're the one holding the lantern for others, this conversation is about the realness of the practice. So grab your favorite mug, wrap up in something cozy, and settle in.✨ Next week, we'll be kicking off Lesson 2 of the Tempering Path with Protect Your Magic: Five Essential Steps for Energetic Hygiene. Your primer on grounding, cleansing, shielding, clearing your space, and replenishing your energy.✨ After that, join us for Energy Care Unfiltered: Priestess Q&A and Honest Reflections as we get real about what these practices look like in everyday witchcraft, answering your questions and sharing our own lived experiences.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 would like to say firmly, I do NOT support the ICE recruitment ads, NOR do we support ICE in anything they are doing to the people of this country.

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.If you'd like to know more about me or my journey, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to talk about spirit, ritual, death, dreams, and the sacred unknown. 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.

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?

Portugal folklore turns feral in the mountain village of Podence, where the only warning is the clatter of cowbellsricocheting off stone walls. Then the Caretos burst from the dark—men (and now women and kids, too) swallowed in ragged ribbons of red, yellow, and green, faces erased behind blood-red demon masks, hips loaded with heavy bell harnesses that turn every lunge into a metallic scream. It's Carnival… but it moves like a hunt.This is Entrudo—a tradition believed to reach back to pre-Roman Celtic seasonal rites, an “entry” into the warm season after winter's darkness. Long before Lent ever claimed the calendar, this was a community ritual of mischief, rule-breaking, and purification: scare off the bad spirits, shake loose the old year, and drag spring and fertility into the streets by force of noise.Inside this episode:The first warning: cowbells in a stone alley, laughter turning predatoryAncient roots: the pagan “entry” of Entrudo and the Celtic ties that won't dieThe disguise: fringed wool suits, horned masks, and the deafening bell harnessRitual permission: three days where chaos is allowed—then paid forFire and farewell: the burning of effigies, bonfires, and Carnival's final cleansingNear-extinction and comeback: depopulation, revival, facanitos, and a tradition rebornUNESCO recognition: how Podence's “carnival demons” became world-famous without going tameCousins of the Caretos: Peliqueiros, Joaldunak, and Iberia's other bell-bearing “devils”If you ever find yourself in Podence after dark—listening to cowbells get closer—remember: the masks don't perform. They pounce.We're telling that story tonight.
ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
We examine the critical exchange between Ben Whitmore's Trials of the Moon and Ronald Hutton's responses to it, using the debate as a lens through which to explore contemporary tensions in the historiography of witchcraft and Pagan origins. Whitmore, writing from within the Pagan community, accuses Hutton of adopting an overly sceptical methodology and of applying uneven evidentiary standards that, in his view, systematically downplay the possibility of ritual continuities in European folk culture. Hutton's rejoinders foreground the demands of historical method, emphasising the importance of verifiable documentation over conjectural survivalism and defending the historian's obligation to distinguish cultural revival from demonstrable lineage. We will assess which of Whitmore's critiques raise legitimate questions about interpretive frameworks and where his reasoning departs from accepted scholarly practice. It also considers how this debate reflects wider issues around authority, tradition, and the negotiation of identity within modern Paganism, and how different communities assign meaning to the fragmentary traces of the past.CONNECT & SUPPORT

In this episode, Priestess Pagan and Priestess Kala dive into the reflection questions from Lesson One: What Is Energy Really and Why You Need to Tend It. We don't just talk theory, we share how these concepts have shown up in our own lives. From unraveling the difference between physical and spiritual energy to figuring out what it actually means to tend your energy with care, we walk you through our personal paths and growing pains.This episode is both a conversation and a mirror, offering insight, laughter, and a little wisdom as you begin your own journey with spiritual hygiene. Come sit with us and listen in as the Temple path unfolds.✨ Next week, I will bring you a meditation (yes, meditations are finally coming back) on Meeting Your Energy from the Inside Out.✨ Then, Kala will return to help close the month as we talk about Gatekeeping vs. Guarding the Path: A Necessary Tension.This path isn't about perfection; it's about presence.

You can be searching for meaning everywhere—in religion, in politics, in service—and still feel utterly broken inside. What if that deep emptiness is the one thing blocking your healing from PTSD and anxiety? Justin McLane shares a powerful story of radical transformation. Raised in an anti-Christian home, Justin spent nearly 28 years actively practicing paganism... in an attempt to fill a persistent void and overcome a deep feeling of emptiness. As a U.S. Army Combat veteran, Justin recounts how his internal battles with PTSD, depression, and anxiety mirrored his external search for meaning. His journey to faith began when he made a conscious decision to quest: Was it truly possible that God existed? As his honest quest led him to a personal relationship with God, his mindset changed, and his mental health followed: the PTSD, depression, and anxiety all melted away. However, his conversion created new divisions: both his parents and other relatives stopped speaking to him... Justin uses his experience to address why we stop communicating with people we disagree with and shares the crucial need to keep the lines of dialogue open. Now a full-time pastor, Justin proves that you can anchor yourself in faith and truly unleash your potential. In this episode, he shares how it felt to have the absence of God in our life. He also gives us the exact practical, actionable strategies that will bring small - but fundamental - changes in our life. With consistency, those steps into a new realm help us to develop a personal relationship with God and to find freedom from the internal and external conflicts that divide us. Topic covered: how to fill a void in life, why do i feel empty inside, lost spiritual meaning, spiritual awakening, searching for purpose, conversion from paganism to christianity, ex pagan finds God, starting a relationship with God, Christian healing ptsd, faith over depression and anxiety, military veteran ptsd faith, how to talk to family about faith, religious family conflict, Justin mclane pagan to pastor.

In this episode, Priestess Pagan and Priestess Kala kick off the very first lesson of the Tempering Path by diving into the foundational question: What is energetic hygiene?We explore the heart of this practice: core of this practice: why it matters, what it can look like across different spiritual paths, and how we've defined why it matters, what it can look like across different spiritual paths, and how we've come to define it in our own lives. This conversation sets the tone for deeper work ahead of understanding your energy and how it works within the path.✨ Next week, we'll turn inward with reflection questions to help you explore your own relationship with energetic hygiene.✨ Then, we'll close the month with a guided practice to help you check in with your energy and begin cleansing with intention.This path isn't about perfection; it's about presence.

Es doctora, mamá de dos hijas pequeñas y durante años vivió con tres trabajos y muy poco tiempo para ella y su familia. Ahorraba, sí, pero sin un propósito claro. Todo cambió cuando decidió educarse financieramente y empezar a usar el dinero con intención. En solo tres años pasó de no tener ninguna propiedad a ser dueña de dos edificios multifamiliares, con 36 puertas que hoy cubren todos los gastos fijos de su familia y le dan algo que para muchos no tiene precio: tranquilidad y seguridad. En esta conversación hablamos de números reales, de ingresos variables, de cómo ahorrar cuando no todo llega el mismo día, de buscar oportunidades en pequeños espacios de tiempo y de tomar decisiones inteligentes sin afán.

He fought an extremely rare form of cancer bravely, but in the end, his heart couldn't keep up the fight anymore. He went fast with no prolonged suffering. We want to thank all of you who have kept him in prayer. Please know that those prayers were not in vain. Our son lives with Jesus now. We are now updating this campaign to reflect our financial need for his remaining hospital bills, funeral expenses, and housing for our family.As most men, I do not enjoy asking for help. However, as most fathers and husbands can relate to, there isn't anything I won't do for my family. In light of that, I wanted to first ask all of you to pray for us. Also, because of the overwhelming expenses that inevitably come from all these things happening at the same time, if you feel led to help us financially, there's a couple different ways you can do that:GiveSendGo: http://www.GiveSendGo.com/NathanTheBravePayPal: http://PayPal.me/JoshPeckDisclosureOr send in your donation to:P.O.

Welcome to the Black Dragon Biker TV New Year's Biker News Podcast! We're kicking off 2026 with the latest stories shaking up the MC world. I'm your host, bringing you straight talk on these headlines—no BS, just the facts.Two Charged After Stabbing Involving Pagan's Motorcycle Club Members (Tazewell, Tennessee)Late December 2025: A large group of Pagan's MC affiliates rolled into Catdaddy's Market in Tazewell. Things turned ugly fast—one guy stabbed in the chest, airlifted to UT Medical Center. Police chased fleeing bikers across county lines; one crashed hard.Arrests: Patrick "Troy" Warren (34, Cleveland, TN) and Christopher Hughes (45, Johnson City) charged with aggravated assault (Hughes also aggravated kidnapping/robbery). Both wore Pagan's colors.This incident sparked broader concerns about outlaw MC activity in East Tennessee—rare but raises eyebrows when it hits. Investigation ongoing with TBI and THP.2 & 6. Biker Brawl at Jolly Dolphin Leads to Lifetime Bans (Jeffreys Bay, South Africa)Boxing Day 2025 turned into a full-on fistfight at the Jolly Dolphin pub. Viral video shows rival bikers (rumored Crusaders vs. Macs) throwing punches, glasses flying, chaos on the floor.Police contained it—no criminal cases opened (no complaints filed). Venue management: "All involved permanently banned." Increased security, apology issued—urging holidaymakers to keep coming.Wild one overseas—reminder that booze + rivals can ignite anywhere.3. Claims of Bryant Police Captain's Possible Ties to Bandidos Led to Detective's Firing (Bryant, Arkansas)Former Detective Shanna Hastings sued the City of Bryant, Chief Carl Minden, and Mayor Chris Treat (December 2025). Claims retaliatory firing after raising concerns about Captain Nate Johnson's alleged Bandidos ties during a bar disturbance investigation.Hastings says she reported suspicions to prosecutor/superiors—terminated shortly after for "insubordination." Lawsuit alleges First Amendment/whistleblower violations.City hasn't responded yet. Highlights tensions when lines blur between LE and MCs.4. Thug Riders Motorcycle Club Member Pleads Guilty to RacketeeringOngoing federal RICO case against Thug Riders MC (Dayton, Ohio area). Latest: Brent Egleston ("B-Easy") pleaded guilty to attempted assault with dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering (December 2025).Part of broader indictment (murder, shootouts, arson). 10+ members already pled guilty; sentences 15-36 months so far. Club labeled violent outlaw gang.5. Outlaw Motorcycle Club Incident Sparks Concerns in East TennesseeTies directly to the Pagan's stabbing/chase in Tazewell. Local reports highlight renewed worries about outlaw MC presence/activity in the region—though experts say most clubs are lawful riding groups.7. Judge Rules Against Gang Expert Testimony in Iron Wings Motorcycle Club Assault Hearing (Erie, Pennsylvania)In the 2024 Saga Club assault case (16 Iron Wings charged with attacking Varangians MC rivals), judge barred prosecution's gang expert from testifying at preliminary hearing.Defense argued prejudicial/irrelevant; judge agreed.

Send us a textSatan doesn't have a deep playbook – sadly, he doesn't need one. Just as he did with Adam and Eve, he only needs to get people to question the sovereign authority of God, believe that God is holding something back from them, and not believe that God means what He says in Scripture. In this episode, we look at how the strategy and goals of the pagan gods of the Old Testament are no different than they are today. There's nothing new under the sun. They're the same demon forces as they've always been, they've just modernized their labels and re-branded. Thanks for tuning in!

The Magi weren't reading Daniel. They weren't studying the prophets. They were reading the sky.In our Members-Only Part 2 of our Christmas deep dive into the Star of Bethlehem, Caleb Jones returns to answer the question everyone's been asking: Why did the Magi know to come? What did they actually see in that chart that made them pack up and travel for months?Using ancient sources—Ptolemy, Manilius, Vettius Valens—Caleb reconstructs what an astrological reading of August 12, 3 BC would have looked like. The verdict? A heaven-blessed birth in Palestine. Incredible fortune. Warfare and a sword in his future. Someone who would overcome great danger through Jupiter and Venus.But this episode goes deeper than astronomy. Caleb traces how the Bible itself addresses astrology—not as fake, but as a rival way of knowing that God told Israel not to pursue because He would speak to them directly. When Israel rebelled and looked to the stars anyway, God wove their disobedience into His plan: He would use pagan astrologers to announce His Son and shame His people who should have known better.From Deuteronomy to Isaiah to Romans, the threads converge. The Magi weren't reading Daniel. They were reading the sky. And God met them there.The Christmas story is stranger than you thought. Not a member yet?

We are shaking things up in 2026--Make sure to JOIN US for ALL the content coming - https://join.unrefinedpodcast.comEvery December, it feels like the internet dusts off the same “Christmas is pagan” memes and lobs them into everyone's feeds, and honestly… I'm over it. In this conversation, I sit down with Lindsy and our guest co-navigator Jennifer to ask where these claims actually came from and whether they hold up to real history. We talk about early church evidence for celebrating Jesus' birth in December, why conception dates mattered in the ancient world, and how sacred time belongs to God—not Saturn, Mithras, or Yuletide spirits. We also unravel Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons, Nimrod conspiracies, green man imagery, and the fear that you might be “accidentally” worshiping other gods by putting up a tree. Along the way, we hit on mission, sacred space, and why intent matters more than internet paranoia. If you've ever wondered whether you're allowed to enjoy Christmas without guilt, this one's for you with Dr. Judd Burton.https://www.burtonbeyond.net/https://drjuddburton.com/https://join.unrefinedpodcast.com
Join us for this year's Christmas investigative episode as we sit down with R.L. Solberg to examine one of the most persistent and controversial claims surrounding the holiday: Is Christmas truly rooted in paganism, or is that narrative built on selective history and modern mythmaking? In an age where viral videos and sensational headlines confidently declare Christmas to be nothing more than a repackaged pagan festival, we slow the conversation down and follow the evidence. Together, we trace the historical claims back to their original sources, evaluate what the early church actually believed and practiced, and expose where popular talking points often rely more on assumption than documented fact. But this conversation doesn't stop at history alone. We also confront the modern tension many believers feel each December—caught between sincere faith and an overwhelming culture of excess, marketing, and consumerism. Is there a meaningful way to celebrate Christmas that resists commercialization while remaining grounded in Christian conviction? This episode isn't about defending tradition for tradition's sake—it's about truth. If you've ever questioned the origins of Christmas, felt conflicted about how it's celebrated today, or wanted a historically informed, biblically grounded perspective, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Tune in and discover what the evidence really says. P.S. Please consider partnering with us as we head into the new year. https://donorbox.org/cultish

One must have their peculiar Holiday traditions. For me, being involved in the stranger side of life and culture, I always take note of a particular happenstance that occurs around this time of year. Every December without fail, you will hear the statement that Christmas is in fact Pagan, and that its symbols and customs have an origin that isn't Christian at all. Grab the Yule log, put up some mistletoe, we're going to go through all that such a statement entails!
