John Opsopaus—often known by the name Apollonius—is a scholar, practitioner, and author whose work focuses on Paganism, classical magic, and systems of divination rooted in ancient Greek philosophical and mystical traditions. Opsopaus explores Neoplatonism, theurgy, sacred mathematics, and symbolic ritual practice, examining how ancient magical and divinatory methods were structured as disciplined spiritual sciences. His writings bridge historical scholarship and contemporary practice, presenting Pagan spirituality as an intellectually grounded tradition centered on harmony with cosmic order, ethical self-development, and philosophical understanding.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.

Many years ago, we did an episode about the legends of the Balkans. We thought it would be interesting to go across the Black Sea and explore the legends of the Caucasus. The Caucasus is a region of Eastern Europe and Western Asia that includes the countries of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Southern Russia. This region is steeped in folklore, mythology, and legends and that isn't surprising because the history here is one of struggle, war, conquest and the precarious victory of independence. Paganism gave way to Christianization and cultural beliefs mixed. Join us as we explore the legends of the Caucasus! This Month in History features the sinking of the USS Maine.

People who have strong spiritual practices tend to be very empathetic people. And when others are suffering sometimes we feel guilty when we have risen above and found practices and tools to create a good life. But life is for learning. And if you did your inner work and are out of the realm of suffering it is your destiny to feel joy and happiness. Instead of feeling empathy it is compassion that is being called for when looking at the lives of others. It is time for you to feel harmony, peace, and ease in your life as you do your inner work. Honor all you have done.Join this fabulous show and listen to Renee and Sandra talk about how to hold yourself in ease in a world where people are learning important lessons through some form of loss and suffering. We are all learning! And that is what we came here to do.Support the show

In this episode, we take a closer look at how modern films like Sinners and Marvel's Black Panther draw heavily from ancient and indigenous religious traditions, often positioning them as morally superior or more "authentic" than Christianity. Chuck explores the symbolism, storytelling choices and cultural messaging behind these movies and asks, what does it mean when Christianity is sidelined or reframed in popular entertainment? Is this just creative world-building, or does it reflect a deeper shift in spiritual values being promoted on screen?

In this episode we introduce the series, looking at the ways in which this energy may have been silenced or devalued both within society and within ourselves as individuals. We explore some of the reasons why our world needs us to awaken this energy in these difficult times across our planet.

This is a grounded, steady orientation to what Irish Paganism actually is, what it is not, and how to begin without performance, pressure, or premature claiming.In this episode, you'll hear about:• Why learning comes before ritual • What daily practice really looks like in ordinary life • How to approach Irish deities with discernment rather than projection • Why you are allowed to remain a learner • How to move slowly and build right relationship over timeIrish Paganism is not about identity theatre. It is about respect, restraint, and steady relationship rooted in land, story, and lived tradition.If you'd like something practical to begin with, you can download the free guide, Irish Pagan Practice for Everyday Life.

In this week's episode, Kala and I pull the curtain back on energetic hygiene in Energy Care Unfiltered: Priestess Q&A and Honest Reflections. This is where the theory meets reality.We walk through the reflection prompts from Lesson Two of the Tempering Path and share our honest, lived answers, the messy parts, the contradictions, and the moments where energy care doesn't look Instagram-ready but still gets the job done. We talk openly about how we navigate grounding, cleansing, shielding, and replenishing when life is loud, chaotic, and demanding.This episode isn't about doing energy work “right.” It's about doing it realistically, with chronic stress, limited spoons, and actual human lives in mind. If you've ever wondered how priestesses maintain energetic hygiene without burning out, spiritual bypassing, or pretending they have it all figured out, this conversation is for you.So grab your tea, settle in, and join us for a candid, no-fluff continuation of Lesson Two on the Tempering Path.This path isn't about perfection; it's about presence.

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.

In this long-awaited episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with Clay Martin, Priest of the Path of the Barbarian Spirit and author of three incredible books including: Barbarian Spirit, Prairie Fire, and Wrath of the Wendigo. Clay has taken an unusual-- but very shamanic-- road to becoming a full-time Woo Woo practitioner. He had a long and illustrious military career in active duty, having served as an infantryman, Scout Sniper, and Reconnaissance Marine and, after transitioning to the Army, he joined the 19th Special Forces Group before returning to active duty with the 3rd Special Forces Group. In 2013, Clay was medically retired, and what followed was a difficult spiral into chaos. But, in 2022, Clay underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy for traumatic brain injury. Six months later, he had his first psilocybin experience. Clay now calls psilocybin "the Sacrament", and believe that true healing begins at the spiritual level. Since his use of the Sacrament, he has encountered Norse gods, channeled visions of the future, and dedicated himself to a life of healing service to other wounded warriors. He is also now an active, working priest in his pagan church, reconnecting military veterans to the old gods and the old ways. Clay upends everything The Business of Woo tells you a New Age practitioner looks, sounds, and acts like. This episode kicks off our dude-only season of the podcast for precisely this reason: men are often underrepresented and underserved by the Business of Woo, often feeling alienated and "uninvited" to this space. The result? We all suffer from the monopoly of enshittified sameness.Clay, and others like him, are challenging this paradigm. And we here at TOTEM and The Skeptical Shaman podcast sure are happy about it.LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:TOTEM + PUCK HCKY Merch Drop: https://puckhcky.com/collections/totemThe TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooClay's Links:Website: https://www.barbarianspirit.com/IG: https://www.barbarianspirit.com/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

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!

Although Renee and Sandra have talked about overwhelm before it is a prevalent state of consciousness that people keep feeling.Join Renee and Sandra for this potent show as they share an abundance of tools to deal with overwhelm inspiring you to come up with your own tools or integrate some of the tools they share into your life.Support the show
In this week's episode, Kala and I crack open the foundation of magical self-care: energetic hygiene. We're talking about the five core practices every witch should know—Grounding, Cleansing, Shielding, Clearing Your Space, and Replenishing—and we don't just name-drop them. We break each one down, share how we actually use them in real life, and talk through our favorite ways to keep our energy clean, clear, and protected.This isn't about aesthetic rituals or spiritual perfection; it's about making these practices sustainable, intuitive, and aligned with your real, messy life. Whether you're brand new to the path or you're trying to strengthen your energetic roots, this episode is a practical deep dive to help you protect your magic.So grab your tea, light your candle (or don't), and join us for part one of Lesson Two on the Tempering Path.✨ Next week: Join us for Energy Care Unfiltered – Priestess Q&A and Honest Reflections. We'll be answering your questions and getting raw with our own answers to the reflection prompts from this lesson. The good, the gritty, the “oh damn, that one hit me” moments. Real talk, real practice.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.

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.

Trigger warning: description of gun violence and death.
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.

In the Western world we often equate being in service to being a star or having fame on some level. How public people are is often interpreted for how deeply someone is providing service. But is that true? Renee and Sandra have a different viewpoint on this. When you inspire someone and lift them up and change their day and life isn't that a high form of service? When you reach your hand out to help another although you have your own challenges in life isn't this one of the most powerful ways to be in service right now?Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman talk about this topic as so many people don't value how much service they do for others right now. And it is time to acknowledge the gifts you share with the world. Follow Us @theshamanscave and ShamansTV.comJoin us for this inspiring show!Support the show
Send us a textThis time in the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by bestselling author and beloved witchcraft teacher Deborah Blake for a grounded, practical conversation on respectful, responsible deity work for witches and pagans.Together, they explore what changes when deity isn't “a box you visit,” but part of everyday life, and why cultural context matters when working with ancient pantheons in the modern world. Deborah shares how her upcoming book, Everyday Witch's Book of Deities (out in April and currently available for preorder), approaches deity work with both historical background and real-world practice. You'll also hear thoughtful discussion on syncretism (when gods and goddesses overlap across cultures), what “perfect love and perfect trust” can mean in lived experience, and how to start small if you think a deity may be reaching out, including the physical signs both hosts and Deborah notice in their own work.Find Deborah at deborahblakeauthor.comLoose-leaf Tea and Sacred Apothecary The Healing Our Feminine Wounding Immersive is a sacred retreat devoted to untangling inherited shame, silence, and survival patterns carried in the feminine body.

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

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMHappy New Year! We open this new year of Our Lord 2026 with a bang: in this episode, we cover how Messiah defeated the demons, overturned the millennia-long reign of false gods, and converted an empire, as recounted by the great 4th century Church Father, St. Athanasius, in his classic work, "On the Incarnation of the Word."Magic and sorcery failed; the oracles went silent; ancient lairs of paganism like Egypt and Babylon turned to Christ; the sign of the cross scattered demons; and the nations left behind their differing worship of many false gods for the one worship of the true God in His Catholic Church.Let us remember this great and epic history in our day!VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

On this episode, Razib talks to returning guest, Francis Young, a historian who teaches at Oxford. Young specialises in the history of religion and belief from ancient times to the present day, and provides expert indexes for academic books and translates medieval and early modern Latin. He holds a PhD from Cambridge University and is the author, editor or co-author of over 20 books. On his last visit to the podcast, he discussed his book Pagans in the Early Modern Baltic, an account of the practices and persistence of Baltic paganism down to the 16th-century, the age of the Renaissance and Reformation. Today he discusses his new book, Silence of the Gods: The Untold History of Europe's Last Pagan Peoples. Razib and Young first discuss what it means to be "pagan" in a European context, first during Classical Antiquity, but more recently in Northern Europe down to the early modern period. Young discusses how it is difficult to understand and define paganism without reference to Christianity, which was a major force in shaping the nature of pagan religion in Northern Europe. Razib asks about the specific nature of northeast Baltic paganism, and in particular, the late survivals of pre-Christian religion among Lithuanians and Estonians, and the differences between the two groups. Young explains his understanding of different religious practices and the various forms of non-Christian practice that persisted among different groups, including mixed "creole" identities. Razib also inquires about the Mari El, a Finnic group in the Urals that might be the only continuously officially pagan people in Europe, as well as evidence Young reports that Estonian peasants were never truly fully Christianized.
Guest: Professor Edward J. Watts. Following Julian's failed attempt to restore paganism, Theodosius embraced Christianity and suppressed traditional Roman religion. Simultaneously, the mishandling of Gothic refugees fleeing the Huns led to rebellion. After the Roman leadership refused to negotiate extortion payments, Alaric the Goth sacked the city of Rome in anger.
There are multiple types of shamanic teachers and practitioners. We have teachers and practitioners who never change how they work. They found a system that works for them and it becomes a habitual way of working.Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman have found that as the culture changesteaching and healing methods must change to keep up with the needs of what people need now versus what was used successfully even just 10 years ago.Join Renee and Sandra for this thought-provoking show where they speak about the need to change our work, so it stays relevant and powerful to the issues of our times.Visit our Archives ShamansTV.comSupport the show
