A great topic this episode discussing milestones for Queer folks and how we can celebrate and recognize them in our pagan practices.  Enfys Book takes time to speak about their book developed from their own personal journey and the experiences of others for creating ritual for important life experiences for those in the LGBTQIA+ community.  Whether just starting on your journey or you have gone through many of these milestones already, this book will help to recognize and claim those important occasions in our lives in meaningful and powerful ways.  Discover rituals for identity, names, pronouns, drag persona, experiencing transition, building relationships and chosen family, and so much more.  The book is dedictated "to everyone who is trying to be their most authentic, fabulous self."  Enfys Book (they/them) is an author, priestx, blogger, teacher, performer, singer, songwriter, and comedian. They have taught many classes on tarot, Hermetic Qabala, magickal rites of passage, and queering one's magical practice at conferences and events around the world. Their other books include Queer Qabala, and co-author (with Ivo Dominguez, Jr.) of Sagittarius Witch. Find them on their website Major Arqueerna, Mastadon, and YouTube. Queer Rites is available from Llewllyn Books, at your local bookstore, or e-commerce site.  # # # Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Follow me on Substack: https://giftsofthewyrd.substack.com/ Instagram: @wyrdgifts1 Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: giftsofthwyrd@gmail.com Order The Christmast Oracle Deck created by me and artist Vinnora at https://feniksshop.etsy.com follow FB/IG: @thechristmasoracle  This product was sent to me by the publisher.

This is the best! A great conversation with Katie Asmus!Katie Asmus is a Somatic and Nature-Based Psychotherapist. With a Master's degree in Somatic Psychology, over 30 years of leading individuals and group programs out in nature, and a lifetime of apprenticing to ceremony and rites of passage, Katie says the essence of her work is normalizing, celebrating, and bringing compassion to what it means to be human.  For the past 20 years, alongside maintaining a private psychotherapy practice, she has taught graduate students at Naropa University and Prescott College in the areas of Somatic and Nature-based Therapies. In addition, through the Somatic Wilderness Therapy Institute (and in collaboration with other inspiring colleagues), she created and facilitates both online and in-person workshops and trainings in Somatic Trauma work, Ceremony & Rites of Passage facilitation, as well as in a wide variety of wilderness, adventure, and nature-based therapy skills. Having sat with thousands of people from around the world and from all walks of life, Katie is a tender of the thresholds and strongly believes in the necessity of following our deepest longing while simultaneously knowing and feeling our interconnection and belonging to the greater web of life.Relevant LinksSomatic Nature Therapy InstituteMore About KatiePsychology TodayLinkedInKatie on Will White's Stories from the FieldKatie on The Awakened TherapistKatie on Therapy in the Great OutdoorsMore Ways to ConnectSocial Sciences Week Outdoor Therapy Series 2025

Could re-establishing healthy rites of passage be key in addressing the problems of our young men and women? Based on the knowledge and experience of father of the year 2025 Dr Arne Rubinstein, the answer is a powerful and resounding 'yes'. In this conversation, he discusses: What a healthy rite of passage really entails - and the dangerous substitutes we often see instead Why they're just as much for the parents as the children themselves The interesting differences between boys and girls in the character, effects and impact of rites of passage The power in recognising where you are in life, intergenerational relationships, connecting to community and more For more on Dr Rubinstein's work, see the Rites of Passage Institute For tickets to Osher and Struthless's 'So What, Now What?' live show tour, head here More from Osher hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Father Anthony with Tony, and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father references the Gospel of Matthew 23:9 where Jesus instructs us to call no man on earth Father.  Father asks the question “how would we address this if someone asks why we call our Father (Dad) or our priest “Father”.  They then discuss and unpack this together, concluding that our Holy Father is the Centrality of our Lives and as such is our Father. They recognize St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta, today's saint.  After prayer, Father talks about the different Rites in the Catholic Church.  Then ends todays talk by sharing the accomplishments and words of St. Gregory the Great who's feast day was September 3.     St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

What if ceremony wasn't just a ritual, but the original technology of human evolution and Earth connection? In this transformative episode of Channel Your Genius, Apache ceremonialist Maria Yraceburu shares the sacred protocols, cosmology, and living wisdom of ceremony. Raised in a traditional ceremonial society, Maria reveals how ceremony keeps us in right relationship with the Earth, with Spirit, and with each other, and why learning protocol is essential for anyone walking an intuitive or shamanic path. Maria and Mellissa explore how ceremony shapes our healing, integrates our growth, and even supports the turning of world ages. From honoring the land and ancestors to embodying gratitude and vision, this conversation is a living transmission of Earth magic and ancient prophecy. This episode is not just a teaching, it's an initiation into remembering your birthright.     Talked about in today's episode: ✅ The true meaning of protocol in ceremony, and why etiquette matters as much as intention ✅ How ceremony collaborates with Earth as a living entity to accelerate healing and transformation ✅ The four pillars of every ceremony: intention, healing, gratitude, and vision ✅ Why integration is critical, and the biggest mistake most people make after ceremony ✅ The role of cycles, timing, and Earth's own rhythms in creating powerful ceremonies ✅ How ceremony helps humanity transition from the “world of soul sickness” into the Fifth World of reconnection     Guest Bio: Maria Yraceburu is a respected Apache ceremonialist, storyteller, and earth wisdom keeper who has led ceremonies her entire life. Raised in a traditional dreaming society on the Mogollon Rim of Arizona, Maria carries the sacred protocols and teachings of her lineage while offering them in accessible, healing ways for modern seekers. Through ceremony, storytelling, and apprenticeship, she helps people reconnect with the Earth, Spirit, and their own birthright as powerful collaborators in creation.

Former medical doctor and now CEO of The Rites of Passage Institute, Dr Arne Rubinstein has spent over 30 years facilitating transitions for boys and men. And yesterday, he was announced as Australian Father of the Year 2025 by The Fathering Project and Australian Fathers Day Council.Maggie chatted with Arne in Season 1 of The Good Enough Dad, so we thought it was timely to revisit their conversation, which explored not only what Arne has learnt from the many thousands of fathers and kids he's worked with over the years, but what he's learnt from his own experience of being a dad to his own two sons. Congratulations to Arne and to all the other dads, father figures and workplaces who were honoured at this year's awards.

Ever wondered what makes a mantra truly powerful? Is it the precision of pronunciation, the ancient lineage it comes from, or the sincerity of the heart behind it?In this episode, Dylan speaks with Purnesh (formerly Swami Purnachaitanya), a teacher and practitioner who has spent over twenty years immersed in the Vedic tradition of mantra. Together they explore what mantra really is - not just words or sounds, but vibrations that carry & enliven consciousness itself. The conversation traces Purnesh's own journey of initiation and study, the importance of authentic transmission, and how mantras can shape not only our spiritual practice but also our daily lives.This is a grounded, heartfelt exploration of a subject often clouded by mystery and misconception. Whether you're curious about starting a mantra practice or seeking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers clarity, wisdom, and inspiration for engaging with sound as a profound tool for transformation.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

From the first time I watched it, I was struck by its beauty, depth, and the way it speaks to the struggles of masculinity in our culture today. Fred shares how the project was born out of his own reflections on manhood, mental health, and the pressures to constantly “maximize” in a world governed by metrics and algorithms.We dive into the unique filmmaking process—shot on 16mm film—and explore themes of precarious masculinity, trauma, relationships, and the tension between connection and solitude. Our conversation also touches on philosophy, Byung-Chul Han, Zygmunt Bauman, religion, and the longing for community in a digital age.This is one of those episodes that opens up big questions about what it means to be human, how we deal with pain, and how art can help us reflect on our lives. Whether you're drawn to film, psychology, or questions of masculinity, I think you'll find this conversation both thought-provoking and deeply human.

Rites of passage are ritual events commemorating a person's transition from one state of being to another. This could be social or religious, like a graduation or a wedding.  Conventionally, a rite of passage marks the transition between a person's childhood and full inclusion into a social group or tribe, but over time, it has become applicable to other milestones.  Learn about various ancient rites of passage that have been part of human civilization since time immemorial and how we've adapted those in modern times for social and psychological purposes.

Listen up ladies. Talking boobs, vagina's and health advocacy.My beloved client sent me down a rabbit hole, and it's worthy for ALL WOMEN TO HEAR. Let's get some facts straight about how women are treated by today's medical system. I've spent 22 years in the wellness industry and spen a great amount of time studying functional medicine and have worked closely with women—especially post–breast cancer clients—to restore their health and well-being. While the points below draw on observations from a recent interview I watched, they highlight critical issues in hormone therapy, cancer care, and the loss of sacred body knowledge.Uncensored Truths What the Medical System Isn't Telling WomenAs a salon and spa owner and a passionate advocate for women's health, I've seen firsthand how the medical system often fails women, especially when it comes to hormones and cancer treatment. It's time to get some facts straight.Bioidentical Hormones vs. Synthetics: The Key DifferenceI can tell you that bioidentical hormones—specifically estrogen—saved my life and my sleep. A common misconception is that synthetic hormones are the same, but they are absolutely not. Bioidentical hormones are designed with the exact same molecular structure as those naturally produced by your body. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, are chemically altered. To put it simply, your body's cell receptors can "read" bioidentical hormones clearly, but they struggle to recognize and process the fuzzy "writing" of synthetics.This distinction is crucial, particularly when we look at the well-known 2002 Women's Health Initiative study. This study linked traditional hormone therapy to health risks, but later research clarified that those risks were tied specifically to the synthetic progestin used, not the estrogen itself.The Shocking Facts of Women's Healthcare + DismissalThe medical industry's approach to women's health is often misguided, leading to unnecessary suffering. Here are some examples shared on a recent interview: * Vaginal Estrogen for Cancer Survivors: It's outrageous that some cancer centers still deny women access to vaginal estrogen, even when major medical societies have stated it's safe for everyone, including breast cancer survivors. This small step could prevent immense pain, urinary tract infections, and bladder issues.* A Focus on Appearance, Not Function: We spend a "s**t ton" of time and money on treatments like cold capping to save hair during chemotherapy, but we don't prioritize treating debilitating symptoms like vaginal atrophy and sexual dysfunction. Why aren't simple, effective solutions like vaginal estrogen a standard "pre-medication"?* The Divorce Rate After Cancer: An oncology nurse once told me about the high number of divorces after breast cancer treatment. This is not just a coincidence; it's a consequence of the physical and emotional toll—the shift from lover to caretaker, the pain from castration medications, and the loss of intimacy.* Profit Over Patients: The harsh reality is that breast cancer treatment is incredibly profitable. When women develop new medical problems from their treatment, they often become long-term customers, needing multiple pharmaceuticals to manage their side effects. This creates a system that prioritizes profit over a patient's long-term well-being and quality of life.IT IS SPIRITUAL. Reclaiming Our Bodies and Sacred KnowledgeAt one point in history, the female body was viewed as sacred. Rites like menstruation, childbirth, and healing were honored rituals. This was replaced by a sterile, clinical system. Midwives were criminalized, women with natural knowledge were branded as witches, and institutions took over.* Birth moved to hospitals, becoming controlled and monitored.* Menstruation became something to hide.* Menopause was pathologized instead of celebrated as a new phase of life.The message became clear: "Your body is not yours to understand. We'll tell you what it means." It's time to reclaim our bodies, trust our intuition, and demand a healthcare system that honors and heals, rather than profits from our suffering.IN SHORT: The Profit-Driven Treatment Model * Women are convinced they've been "cured" even when they've only had DCIS (which isn't technically cancer)* Treatment creates a cascade of medical problems requiring 5-10 additional pharmaceuticals* The industry profits from creating long-term medical customers* High-risk women are now being preemptively put on aromatase inhibitorsMost revealing was this insight: "Breast cancer happens in states of estrogen deficiency, not excess. Those receptors upregulate as a survival mechanism... looking for their missing lifeline."From Sacred Knowledge to Medical ControlThe interview concluded with a powerful historical perspective on how medical institutions systematically replaced women's body wisdom:What Was Sacred:* Menstruation honored in ceremony* Birth attended by midwives and family* The body seen as teacher, not threat* Community-supported transitionsWhat Was Taken:* Midwives criminalized* Earth-based healers branded as witches* Birth moved to hospitals - controlled, monitored, medicated* Menopause pathologized instead of honored* Women's body knowledge replaced with institutional controlThe Bottom LineThese interview insights reveal a healthcare system that often prioritizes profit over women's wellbeing, denies established safe treatments, and has systematically dismantled women's autonomy over their own bodies.Women deserve better than being told their suffering is necessary, their hormones are dangerous, and their body wisdom is irrelevant. It's time to question who benefits from keeping women in the dark about their own health - and demand change.Would love to know your thoughts. Drop them below. It's serious ladies. Sending you all my love - be your own advocate, be curious and love yourself ruthlessly.

Darren shares stories of divination as a way of orienting one's soul, restoring ancestral connection, and realigning with the genius each of us carries.We look at the role of wilderness rites of passage in breaking the spell of modern isolation, how vision arises both as daily practice and as life-altering encounter, and why ritual remains essential for men seeking to live in right-relation with themselves, their communities, and the living world.Together we ask: What do blood rites reveal about masculine initiation? How does divination open a dialogue with the unseen? And in an age of rupture, how might men return to the wild conversation that remakes us whole?LINKS * Courting the Sacred Hunt - Men's Initiation Program beings Oct 1st* Darren's official websiteADDITIONAL EPISODES This is a public episode.

The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces sound by means of a hand-cranked rosined wheel which rubs against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Most hurdy-gurdies have multiple drone strings, which give a constant pitch accompaniment to the melody, resulting in a sound similar to that of bagpipes. It is mostly used in Occitan, Aragonese, Cajun French, Asturian, Cantabrian, Galician, Hungarian, and Slavic folk music. It can also be seen in early music settings such as medieval, renaissance or baroque music.Sonic's Friendly Nemesis Knuckles #100:00 Intro06:02 Rites of Passage!

In this episode, we sit down with Richard Grannon for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about trauma, perception, and the psychology of narcissism. He shares insights on how narcissistic dynamics take root, why the popular use of the term often misses the mark, and how childhood wounds shape adult identity and behavior. We explore the cost of outsourcing meaning-making, the traps of victimhood and blame, and the deeper process of reclaiming one's internal authority. This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and what it takes to stop living in a reality defined by your past.Time Stamps (00:00) Start(00:37) Introduction to Richard Grannon and His Work(02:29) Richard Grannon's Personal Journey(05:48) Defining Narcissism Clinically(09:15) Childhood Conditions Leading to Narcissism(12:28) Different Types of Narcissism(12:59) The Over-Pathologization of Society(17:22) Critique of Modern Psychology(30:18) The Role of Purpose and Suffering in Modern Life(45:36) Exploring the Mystical Tradition and Self-Awareness(45:56) Rites of Passage and Cultural Context(46:39) The Individual vs. The Collective(54:24) Narcissism and Therapy(59:12) AI and Narcissism(01:08:02) Codependency and Childhood Influences(01:20:36) Parentification and Emotional Incest(01:23:18) Reflections on Fatherhood and Personal Choices(01:25:47) Conclusion and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.richardgrannon.com/https://www.instagram.com/richard.grannon/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

In our previous episode, Alisha introduced you to Anna Marie Hlavka. She was a 20-year-old woman who had been living with her boyfriend and sister at the Tudor Arms apartments in downtown Portland. On June 24th, 1979, Anna's sister Rose Ann returned home from the McDonald's where both sisters worked, and she discovered her sister had been murdered. Susan was lying across the bed, the power cord from her alarm clock radio wrapped around her neck. Investigators followed every lead, but the case very quickly went cold. What the Portland Police didn't know back in ‘79 was that the man who, 40 years later, would come up as a match via Parabon Labs forensic genetic genealogy had spent years terrorizing the state of Texas.

My guest is Michael Easter, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and best-selling author. We discuss how particular daily life choices undermine our level of joy, our sense of purpose, our physical and our mental health and the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly steps we can all take to vastly increase our level of motivation, gratitude and overall life satisfaction. We discuss how effortful foraging for information, undistracted reflection and physical exercise are ways to ‘invest' and therefore grow our levels of dopamine, energy and motivation, whereas low-friction activities are specifically designed to hijack or diminish them. We also discuss dopamine reward circuitry in the context of how to build and reset one's energy levels and create a deeper sense of purpose in work, creative pursuits and relationships.
