In this episode, the Crone & Sage share about their Ingress Ritual which is the start of the Times of Samhain season in our Ritual Year. Because Ingress rituals are celebrated on the actual Dark Night of the Moon, we didn’t do anything special for this part of the Lunar cycle, but did talk about the energies […] The post Ingress & Times of Samhain Starting appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

#christmas #yuletideseason #yule Does Christmas originate from a Pagan Midwinter festival? This exploration has been a fascinating journey, and I can't wait for you to join me in it! In this video, I delve into: - The historical transformation from Pagan Midwinter celebrations, like the Roman Saturnalia and Norse Yule, to the Christian Nativity. - The role of the Winter Solstice in these ancient cultures. - The intriguing choice of December 25th, a date deeply connected with Pagan solstice festivities, as the birthdate of Christ.

No! Samhain is NOT a "Celtic Fire Festival", as contemporary Wiccans and Pagans often believe. That's a view popularized by James Frazer and John Rhys, which lacks historical support and evidence.

In this January almanac episode, I share about how English Plough Sunday and Plough Monday rituals dovetail with pagan midwinter worship of Odin to present a quandary as rich today as ever: How do we hold sacred the human capacity to employ technologies that multiply our power, while dancing on the delicate balance between service and domination? How do we bless the hard work of human hands where it meets the life of the world? This episode delves into traditions of chasing out the spirits of Yule, as well as blessing of apple trees, ploughs, and ultimately ploughboys as representatives of the overflow of human passion and physical power.

This month I'll be focusing on the new cycle of years changing over the end of the Yule season and our relationship to labour and technology, which was a focus that arose for me while I was researching this January episode. That hasn't arisen for me before, but it definitely is an emphasis of English and Nordic tradition, and it'll explain more as we go ahead. Other themes that arise in January folklore are the continued divination and predictive quality for the year ahead that we've may have already seen in December. Folklore also the supernatural and the feminine visiting from the wilds beyond, because it is still winter and these forces still rule. There's often a theme in January songs especially of weather, bad weather, loneliness, cold and love, longing as metaphorically associated with those sensations of coldness and isolation in the wintertime. And of course, the slow return of the sun is being observed across European folklore, which is what I always focus on.

In this Halloween special we will be taking a look at the customs and traditions that that place at the onset of winter in Britain and Ireland, including the festivals of Samhain, Halloween, All Saint's, All Soul's, and Guy Fawkes Night. Many of the customs of this period draw from both a Christian festival for the dead, as well as from earlier pagan winter festivities that involved charms, divinations, and appeals to the deities of the natural world. Plus, a surprising amount of these customs have continued through into our modern Halloween traditions!

Publisher, scholar, and author Mogg Morgan joins us in podcast episode 184 to discuss independent publishing house, Mandrake of Oxford, as well as his recent books Isis: Goddess of Egypt and India and Phi-Neter: Power of the Egyptian Gods. “Mogg Morgan is a publisher, writer, pagan practitioner, independent scholar & theorist. He was Wellcome research student at Oxford, where his teacher was the late Professor B K Matilal, a widely respected expert on South Asian rational thought. He has published on both Indology & Egyptology. His books include Ayurveda: Medicine of the Gods and Sexual Magick. More recently, Morgan has authored a sequence of books combining academic research with practical experimentation beginning with Tankhem: Seth & Egyptian Magick, The Bull of Ombos: Seth and Egyptian Magick II, The Ritual Year in Ancient Egypt, Supernatural Assault in Ancient Egypt, Phi-Neter: Power of the Egyptian Gods, and Isis: Goddess of Egypt & India.” Morgan’s work demonstrating continuity of the Egyptian religious cult over wide geographic and temporal distances is insightful and adds rich complexity to our understanding of these ancient deities and the people who worship(ped) them. I very much appreciate Morgan’s work along these lines, exploring the depth of ancient religious tradition and its extension into modern times.
