Podcasts about Ritual

This week on the What We Said Podcast, Jaci and Chelsey are sharing listener submissions about wedding days that went up in flames. No, like literally—one of the weddings actually caught on fire. The rest are metaphorical: heinous comments from in-laws on the day of the ceremony, getting ostracized for not going into debt to attend a destination wedding, being fat-shamed by the bridal seamstress, and bridesmaids treating the wedding like Love Island. If you've got a wedding coming up, tune in for a few tips on how to keep your big day from crashing and burning. And if you don't have one coming up, you should still listen, you might just learn how not to ruin someone else's (looking at you MILs).!!!

Today, we look at the story of the Ra Tapes. We'll review how a physicist and a librarian supposedly contacted a 6th-density alien intelligence and the tragic price they paid. Welcome to Camp!

Sami Clarke is back with her self-love and growth series alongside Nikki Novo — spiritual teacher, intuition guide, and host of the Soul-Led Living podcast — for a conversation about what it actually looks like to leave the old rulebook behind and start feeling your way forward.Tune in as Sami and Nikki get into the real middle of living a soul-led life: why worry is just a blanket you pull over yourself when you're about to level up, how to tell a sign from a test when the same person keeps showing back up, and what to do when you follow your intuition and it still doesn't go the way you planned. Nikki shares the story of the heartbreak that accidentally launched her entire career — and why real intuition gives you the next step, never the full guarantee. And somewhere in the middle of it all, Sami opens up about what it finally took to stop running from her feelings and discover the clarity was inside them the whole time.If you're in the in-between right now, not quite sure what's on the other side but feeling the pull anyway, this one's for you.Transform Instagram - click here!Sami Spalter Instagram - click here!Sami Clarke Instagram - click here!FORM Shop - click here!FORM Website - click here!Code TRANSFORM for 20% off an annual membership.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

With the 160th observance of Juneteenth, the United States enters the two-week corridor between the largest Black liberation ritual directly connected to global rituals of African self-determination and the country's nativist Semi-quincentennial Fourth of July celebration ritual. In a country entangled in a war of choice, this week marked a gauche white nationalist White House lawn brawlfest, the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, the continuing celebrations and tensions surrounding soccer's North America-hosted World Cup, and the multinational New York Knicks Basketball Championship Parade and Ceremony. Alongside these rituals, a proliferation of Juneteenth Emancipation Day/Jubilee commemorative events is taking place. This unique convergence raises questions of Governance, Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory in the context of US and global Social Structures on the brink of renegotiations. Ritual moments are public narratives that reveal various values while often threatening to flatten looming realities. The space between Juneteenth and July 4 allows us to also consider spaces between facts and wishes, remembrances and aspirations.Are you a member of Knarrative?

The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V.

Pekala. “Phenomenological Experience in Response to Monotonous Drumming and Hypnotizability.” American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 40, no. 2 (1997): 130–145. Use for monotonous drumming, subjective altered experience, imagery, absorption, and hypnotizability.Maxfield, Melinda C. “Effects of Rhythmic Drumming on EEG and Subjective Experience.” PhD diss., Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1990. Use as older supporting context on drumming, EEG, imagery, body-image changes, and subjective altered experience. Do not make this the main scientific proof; use it as background.Nozaradan, Sylvie, Isabelle Peretz, and André Mouraux. “Tagging the Neuronal Entrainment to Beat and Meter.” The Journal of Neuroscience 31, no. 28 (2011): 10234–10240. Use for EEG evidence that the brain can track beat and meter. This supports the claim that the brain does not merely hear rhythm as background sound; it can represent rhythmic structure in measurable ways.Nozaradan, Sylvie. “Exploring How Musical Rhythm Entrains Brain Activity with Electroencephalogram Frequency-Tagging.” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 369, no. 1658 (2014). Use as broader rhythm/EEG entrainment support. This helps explain frequency-tagging, beat tracking, meter, neural entrainment, and the measurable relationship between rhythmic structure and brain activity.Thaut, Michael H., Gerald C. McIntosh, and Volker Hoemberg. “Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy: Rhythmic Entrainment and the Motor System.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2015). Use for rhythm as motor-system timing information. This supports the claim that a beat can become bodily instruction, not just sound for the ear. Especially useful when discussing rhythmic auditory stimulation, motor planning, gait, entrainment, and the auditory-motor bridge.Ross, Jessica M., John R. Iversen, and Ramesh Balasubramaniam. “Time Perception for Musical Rhythms: Sensorimotor Perspectives on Entrainment, Simulation, and Prediction.” 2022. Use for rhythm, timing, prediction, sensorimotor entrainment, and the way musical rhythm interacts with time perception.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960. Use for synchrony and social bonding. This helps support the group-body argument: moving or acting in time with others can increase affiliation.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5. Use for the claim that synchronized movement can increase cooperation and attachment among participants.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096. Use for music, synchrony, bonding, endorphin/social mechanisms, and why group rhythm can feel like more than private listening.Fancourt, Daisy, Rosie Perkins, Sara Ascenso, Louise Atkins, Fatima Kilfeather, and Aaron Williamon. “Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users.” PLOS ONE 11, no. 3 (2016): e0151136. Use for modern group-drumming research showing psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, depression, social resilience, wellbeing, and inflammatory immune response. Use carefully: this does not make group drumming a cure-all. It supports the more grounded claim that embodied rhythm and group participation can affect mood, social connection, and body chemistry.Bittman, Barry B., et al. “Composite Effects of Group Drumming Music Therapy on Modulation of Neuroendocrine-Immune Parameters in Normal Subjects.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 7, no. 1 (2001): 38–47. Use as older supporting material on group drumming and neuroendocrine-immune measures. Keep secondary. Fancourt is cleaner for the main script body.Archaeology and Deep History of DrumsLawergren, Bo. “Neolithic Drums in China.” In Music Archaeology in China. 2006. Use for clay drums in Neolithic China and the deep-history claim that drums are not just poetic symbols of antiquity. They appear in the archaeological record as instruments tied to early sound-making, ceremony, and social order.Both, Arnd Adje. “Music Archaeology: Some Methodological and Theoretical Considerations.” Use as general support for why ancient instruments should be treated as ritual and social evidence, not merely decorative objects.Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Ritual, and TranceRouget, Gilbert. Music and Trance: A Theory of the Relations Between Music and Possession. Translated by Brunhilde Biebuyck. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985. Essential source. Use for the caution that music does not mechanically or universally cause trance. Rouget helps keep the argument academically serious by emphasizing culture, ritual frame, meaning, and expectation.Becker, Judith. Deep Listeners: Music, Emotion, and Trancing. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2004. Use for music-linked trancing, emotional absorption, religious experience, and culturally trained ways of listening. This supports the “hearing versus entering” distinction.McNeill, William H. Keeping Together in Time: Dance and Drill in Human History. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1995. Use for marching, dance, drill, muscular bonding, synchronized movement, and rhythm as social glue. This is useful both for Part 1's group-body material and Part 2's war-drum material.Eliade, Mircea. Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1964. Use carefully. Eliade's phrase “archaic techniques of ecstasy” is powerful, but the episode should also note that later scholarship criticizes his tendency to universalize shamanism.Winkelman, Michael. Shamanism: A Biopsychosocial Paradigm of Consciousness and Healing. 2nd ed. Santa Barbara, CA: Praeger, 2010. Use for shamanism as a ritual technology involving altered consciousness, healing, social integration, symbolism, and body-brain processes.Winkelman, Michael. “Shamanism and Psychedelics: A Biogenetic Structuralist Paradigm of Ecopsychology.” European Journal of Ecopsychology 4 (2013): 90–115. Use as supplemental background on shamanism, altered consciousness, and comparative models of trance and visionary states.Kontouli, Athanasia, Michael J.

Why do some Masonic Lodges thrive with energy and purpose while others fade? Is it the members? The events? The traditions? Or is it something deeper—something you can't simply copy and paste? In this episode we are joined by WBs Bull Garlington and Scott Dayton, Past Masters of the innovative Lux Lunae Lodge No. 1181 in Chicago, a Lodge founded with the radical idea that culture must be intentional from day one.Show notes and links: Join us on Patreon.

Romans 2 ends with a sobering reminder: it's possible to wear the appearance of faith while remaining untouched by the transformation faith was meant to produce. Ritual, knowledge, and religious identity cannot replace an obedient heart. What God has always desired is not outward performance, but inward renewal through the Spirit.This week, Pastor Brian concludes chapter 2 of the book of Romans with a message entitled, “PRETENSE” from chapter 2, verses 17-29.

I need all of you to join me on a sports-nerd journey, for a second, because the Knicks just won their first championship since 1973. I'm aware this may not be the right crowd for this, but my parents are from New York, and as the famous song says, “I was born a Knicks fan, it's genetic.” To say this championship meant a lot to New York and the Knicks would be an understatement, but what really made this championship so special was not just that the Knicks won, but how they won.

I got the honor to sit down and chat with Richard, a up and coming whiskeytube channel. And lets just say it flowed like smooth jazz. We had a great conversation, hope you enjoy.www.youtube.com/@GameandGrains25instagram.com/game_and_grainsPatreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyWelcome to Game and Grains—where whiskey meets gaming! Join us for fun streams featuring whiskey tastings, bourbon reviews, and gaming adventures. Whether you're a connoisseur or a casual gamer, there's something for everyone. Grab your glass and controller, it's time to level up!The draw to combining whiskey and gaming lies in the creation of a highly controlled, immersive ritual designed for ultimate stress decompression, emotional escapism, and low-pressure socialization. For many individuals—particularly men—this combination merges a sensory-rich luxury drink with a rewarding digital environment. Together, they form a powerful "third space" outside of work and family life where a person can completely disconnect.However, this specific pairing activates unique psychological loops that can serve as either a healthy reward or a hidden coping mechanism for mental health struggles.Why the Pairing Works: The Psychological AppealThe intersection of whiskey and gaming is not accidental; the two activities complement each other to satisfy several emotional and cognitive needs:The Ritual of Slowing Down: Whiskey is a spirit meant to be sipped slowly, forcing a slower physical pace. Pairing it with a casual or narrative-driven game creates a dedicated ritual that signals to the brain that the productivity demands of the day are officially over.The "Dual-Escape" Loop: Gaming provides a high level of cognitive absorption, forcing the brain to focus on a virtual task and leaving no room for real-world worries. Whiskey physically slows down the central nervous system, creating a combined mental and physical barrier against chronic stress.Low-Stakes Socialization: Gaming with online friends while having a casual drink provides social connection without the emotional pressure of formal face-to-face conversations. It allows for "shoulder-to-shoulder" bonding, where players connect over a shared digital objective rather than direct vulnerability.The Comfort of Control: In a chaotic world, games offer clear rules, clear objectives, and immediate rewards (leveling up, winning matches). Whiskey enhances this comfort by creating a cozy, predictable sensory experience (the warmth, the flavor profile).The Hidden Risk: When Decompression Becomes DependencyWhile using gaming and a glass of whiskey to unwind is common, the combination can easily transform into an unhealthy coping mechanism if used to mask underlying anxiety, depression, or burnout:The Dopamine Overload: Both gaming (through quick reward loops) and alcohol (through chemical spikes) release dopamine in the brain. Over time, relying on both simultaneously can desensitize your brain's natural reward system, making everyday life feel flat or uninteresting without them.Avoidance Instead of Processing: If a hard day automatically triggers a gaming session and multiple pours of whiskey, it prevents the emotional processing required to actually resolve life stress. The underlying problems remain untouched, waiting as soon as the game turns off and the alcohol wears off.Disrupted Rest: While both activities might help you drift off to sleep out of sheer exhaustion, the combination of late-night blue light from screens and alcohol intake destroys REM and deep sleep architectures, leaving you more emotionally fragile and anxious the next morning.

Isaac Weishaupt joins the show for a deep dive into one of the most fascinating and controversial subjects we've ever covered: America's relationship with the occult.From secret societies and esoteric symbolism to intelligence agencies, hidden influences, and the strange threads connecting power, politics, and the supernatural, this conversation explores a side of history most people never hear about. We discuss how occult ideas have appeared throughout American culture, the role they may have played behind the scenes, and why these topics continue to capture the public imagination.Whether you're skeptical, curious, or already deep down the rabbit hole, Isaac brings years of research and a unique perspective to a conversation that goes far beyond the headlines.

You've been told worship belongs to God, never you. Today we flip that. Because the same hand that made the ocean, the sunset, every flower that's ever stopped you in your tracks, made you too. So when I say worship yourself, I'm not asking you to replace God. I'm asking you to stop disrespecting His work. This episode is an interactive ritual, not a lecture. I walk you through eight places to look: your favorite physical trait, the part of you you've been taught to hate, the shame you've been carrying, the quality you love most, the one you've been told to hide, your superpower, your jungle quality, and the person your pain built.

In this powerful episode of the Cryptid Warfare Podcast, I sit down with Olivia, a former witch and New Age practitioner whose life was radically transformed after a supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ during a witchcraft ritual.   Olivia shares her journey from the moment she first became involved in witchcraft, the occult, and New Age practices, to the spiritual experiences, deception, and darkness she encountered along the way. She opens up about the realities of the spiritual realm, the battles she faced, and the things she witnessed while deeply involved in these practices.   Everything changed when Jesus met her in the middle of a ritual and revealed Himself in a way that completely shattered her worldview. Olivia tells the incredible story of how Christ rescued her, led her out of darkness, and began transforming her life. She also discusses the spiritual warfare that followed, the challenges of leaving the occult behind, and how God brought healing, freedom, and truth into her life.   Today, Olivia is a born-again Christian who shares her testimony in churches and ministries, warning others about the dangers of the occult while pointing people to the saving power of Jesus Christ.   Join us as we discuss:   Olivia's introduction to witchcraft and New Age practices Supernatural experiences within the occult The deception behind New Age spirituality Jesus appearing during a witchcraft ritual Deliverance, freedom, and spiritual warfare Biblical truth versus occult practices Her journey to becoming a born-again Christian Ministering and sharing her testimony in churches today     This is a powerful testimony of redemption, freedom, and the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.   “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36       Ways to Support and Connect with Olivia :  ✅https://linktr.ee/olivebranchfaith?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Parading — when members of the unionist community march to commemorate historical events such as the 1690 Battle of the Boyne — is one of the most visible expressions of Northern Ireland's deep social divisions. But does it actually inflame tensions between communities? A new study examines parading as a "contentious ritual", using survey data, interviews, and participant observation to find out. The results offer fresh insight into identity, conflict, and inter-group relations in a divided society. Joining host Alan Renwick are three of the article's authors: Kristin Bakke, Kit Rickard, and Giovanni Hollenweger. Mentioned in this episode: Contentious Rituals and Intergroup Relations: Parading in Northern Ireland by Kit Rickard, Giovanni Hollenweger, Sigrid Weber, and Kristin M. Bakke, British Journal of Political Science.

Want more mental strength plays? Pick up a copy of ⁠The Mental Strength Playbook⁠. Have you ever had a big moment coming up, like a presentation or an interview, and spent the final few minutes frantically cramming? We often tell ourselves if we just review our notes one more time, we'll feel confident when we walk in. But research shows that last-minute cramming is probably making you perform worse, not better. And if you're a crammer like I am, I have good news—there's a much better way to spend those final few minutes before a high-pressure moment. Some of the things I talk about are: Why cramming before a big moment quietly raises your anxiety instead of lowering it—and the interview that taught me this the hard way. The play that works for athletes at the foul line and for the rest of us before a sales call, a performance review, or dinner with the in-laws. The three science-backed reasons a simple ritual calms your nerves and sharpens your focus (no lucky socks or magical thinking required). My own two-step pregame ritual—and how I leaned on it when Good Morning America gave me less than an hour's notice to go live on national TV.

In this episode, Stacy unpacks the future of skincare and longevity, revealing how sunlight impacts aging at the cellular level, why most people are getting sun exposure wrong, how to track and optimize UVA and UVB exposure, the truth behind vitamin D, and the breakthrough technology empowering people to take control of their skin health, energy, performance, and aging process like never before.   For Detailed Show Notes visit TheBossticks.com   To connect with Stacy Salvi click HERE   To connect with Lauryn Bosstick click HERE   To connect with Michael Bosstick click HERE   Read More on The Skinny Confidential HERE   Head to our ShopMy page HERE and LTK page HERE to find all of the products mentioned in each episode.   To learn more about The90 visit http://The90.com.    This episode is sponsored by The Skinny Confidential Your daily routine done better – with The Skinny Confidential Caffeinated Sunscreen.

Over the course sixteen months, 39-year-old Stephen Port killed four gay men in his East London home... and DESPITE BEING A TOTAL IDIOT... completely got away with it. All four men looked nearly identical and seem to have died exactly the same way, AND TWO OF THE BODIES WERE FOUND IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT. Yet the cops saw no connection between the cases. Meanwhile, PORT WAS BASICALLY GIVING HIMSELF UP AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. And still, the cops insisted these men died of self induced drug overdoses. BECAUSE GAY.

In this episode, we're creating our ultimate Summer Bucket List and talking about how we want this season to feel—not just what we want to do. We discuss living more analog (or at least a lot less digital), slowing down, finding inspiration in everyday activities, and creating a summer that feels intentional and beautiful. From building seasonal color palettes to watching nostalgic summer movies, picking the perfect pair of sunglasses, and enjoying classics like the fair, we share the little things that make summer special. If you're craving a slower, more inspired summer filled with creativity and meaningful experiences, this episode is for you. It's gonna be a What We Said summer girls!!!!!
