Podcasts about Samhain

As the nights stretch longer and the veil between worlds grows thin, Samhain marks a powerful turning point, a moment to honor the dead, release what's ready to go, and welcome the magic of new beginnings. In this episode of Demystify Magic, we begin our Wheel of the Year series with a deep (and delightfully nerdy) dive into the history and meaning of Samhain, the ancient Celtic fire festival often called The Witches' New Year.We unpack the real origins of the Wheel of the Year, explore how Samhain inspired modern Halloween, and share low-effort, high-impact ways to celebrate from ancestor altars and dumb suppers to fire scrying and candle rituals. Along the way, we talk about grief, psychic boundaries, and finding a little warmth and wonder in the darker months ahead.Whether you're witch-curious or walking the Wheel year after year, this episode will help you honor Samhain with intention, humor, and heart.Tune in and join us as we demystify Samhain, where science meets spirit, and the veil grows thin.Pre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

A Powerful Turning Point and A Week of Big Shifts We're stepping into a major turning point! On Monday the 13th, Venus moves into Libra, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius, and it's the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer.

This is the beginning of the “Power to the People” era as Pluto in Aquarius sparks revolution, innovation, and empowerment that lasts until 2044. Venus in Libra

Ephesians 5:11 says, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” That's exactly what this video does. Halloween isn't harmless. It isn't just costumes and candy. Whether you trace it back to pagan Samhain, Catholic Hallowtide, or Satanism itself, the reality is the same: it is not Kingdom, and it is not Jesus. Ex-satanists have called it the devil's “high holy day.” History shows us it was birthed from compromise, when the church married paganism and called it holy. And scripture makes it clear: we can't drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. This isn't about legalism. It's about covenant. It's about asking, “Lord, what do You think about my participation in Halloween?” If you're ready for the most comprehensive breakdown you'll find on the internet — history, testimony, scripture, and truth — this is for you.   -   Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi   HEAVEN & HEALING MERCH/ANTI-HALLOWEEN LINE: https://www.HeavenandHealing.Store   - Ways to Support the Show:  

As the veil thins during Samhain and the season of ancestors, we are invited to look deeper into our lineage, not only to honor those who came before us, but also to transform the patterns we no longer wish to carry. In this episode, Sharlean explores the power of ancestral healing, where spirituality and science meet.  You'll learn: How ancestral patterns are inherited spiritually and energetically. What modern science (epigenetics) reveals about trauma and healing in family lines. Ways to release cycles of fear, shame, or scarcity while reclaiming the wisdom and gifts of your well ancestors.  You'll experience: A guided reflection to connect with your healed ancestors, release harmful ties, and receive their blessings. A collective card spread designed for ancestral healing that you can do at home to deepen your practice. This episode is both a teaching and a ritual space, blending inspiration, education, and embodied spiritual practice. Whether you're seeking to heal old wounds, honor your ancestors, or discover the strengths they've passed on to you, this conversation will support you in walking forward with clarity and grace.  Mentioned in this episode: Ancestral Healing Spread (5 cards: The Pattern, The Root, The Gift, The Healer's Path, The Blessing) Seasonal reflections for Samhain   May this episode help you release what no longer serves your lineage and claim the golden gifts of your ancestors.

In this episode, I explore the themes and invitations of autumn, focusing on self-care for women in midlife season of life.In this episode, you'll discover:If you're a highly sensitive person, you may notice that grief and melancholy arise in autumn—even when you haven't experienced an obvious loss. Here's why this happens and what it meansHow you can listen to your difficult emotions as wise messengers rather than problems you need to fix or push awayWhy autumn invites you to strip away, let go, and engage in truth-telling about what no longer serves youThe reason holding onto old identities and patterns keeps you stuck—and how you can recognize when it's time to release themHow you can navigate the vulnerable "in-between space" when you've let go of what was but haven't fully stepped into what's nextIf you love rhythm and routine but also have a rebel streak, here's how you can honor both by building intentional breaks into your lifeHow you can use this seasonal transition as an opportunity for meaningful self-care and inner explorationResources Mentioned:Free autumn resource with reflection prompts and self-care exercises: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/autumn-guide/Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies quiz: https://gretchenrubin.com/quiz/the-four-tendencies-quiz/Podcast episode about grief/Samhain: listen on apple podcasts

This episode was not easy to record. As I began to speak, the candle beside me went out, and soon after, I became sick for a moment. What unfolded was a deep clearing, a full-body cleanse that mirrored the energy of this moment in time: the thinning of the veil. I share what this season has traditionally meant through Samhain and how I'm experiencing it now, beyond history and tradition, as an invitation into deeper healing and remembrance. Through the lens of Oneness, ancestors, and guides are an extension of One Consciousness - One Player, many characters. With my South Node, Saturn, and Pluto all in Scorpio, this journey into witnessing magic rather than practicing magick is both my personal evolution and part of what I'm here to teach. I reflect on Aleister Crowley's definition of magick, how it differs from true divine magic, and how real magic unfolds when we release control and allow life to reveal itself. I also share a story of profound past-life healing, how timelines folded into the present moment, showing that only now is real. When we stop trying to control through the mind, we can receive the signs and communications from God consciousness that guide our healing. Through that witnessing, distance is created, and identification dissolves. Finally, I speak about the Nordic runes that have woven through my life since becoming pregnant with Lumi, and how the rune Othala, a symbol of ancestry, lineage, home, and inherited gifts, brought this entire episode together. This is an episode about transformation, remembrance, and the real magic that returns when we surrender to the mystery.    * * * * * * * * * *  Dancing with the Fire: A Kundalini Workshop PRESALE until 10/10 Subscribe to our Substack: Light of the Way BOOK Journey Home Akashic Records Reading with Faith O'Higgins  How to do the Line Activation  Receive a FREE Line Activation  Join us in GUIDED — our living sanctuary of support, weekly Satsangs, monthly Line Activations, workshops, community and more.

In this episode of The White Witch Podcast we journey into the mysteries of Memento Mori — the timeless reminder of mortality — and explore how death, transformation and rebirth weave through witchcraft and esoteric traditions. In this episode I share - The meaning and history of memento mori. The Haliorunna and necromantic wisdom of the witch's path. The story of Hiram Abif and the Masonic initiation of death and resurrection. How Alexandrian and Gardnerian covens use death-and-rebirth initiation rites. The echoes of these mysteries in Hermetic and Rosicrucian traditions. Norse philosophies of mortality and remembrance. Why burying the old self through ritual is essential for growth. Journal prompts, rituals and tarot/oracle spreads to work with the death/rebirth cycle in your own practice. This episode is both philosophical and practical — guiding you into the deep mysteries of why witches embrace death as a gateway to transformation, and how you can bring these initiatory currents into your own craft.

This Halloween, Truth Be Told takes a chilling turn into prophecy, apocalypse, and the supernatural forces that may be hiding behind our favorite holiday. Host Tony Sweet explores the haunting origins of Halloween, from the Celtic festival of Samhain to the fall of Atlantis, the return of the Anunnaki, and the occult symbols we still carve, wear, and display today. Are jack-o'-lanterns just decorations—or glowing warnings? Are costumes playful disguises—or ancient rituals of survival? And what if Halloween isn't just a celebration of the dead, but a prophecy of the world's final night?Step into the shadows and decide for yourself. Because this October 31st… the veil may not close again.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

Die Magie der 9: Ordnung im Chaos & Business-Klarheit Mit Numerologin Jeannette Ruh & Tanja Brock Die Zahl 9 als Energie von Abschluss, Ernte, Loslassen und Weite – und wie du im „Auge des Sturms“ innere Ruhe findest. Wir sprechen über: den Switch vom intensiven 8er-Jahr (Macht/Ohnmacht, Geld-Mindset, Grenzen) in die 9er-Energie (Essenz, Klarheit, Entlastung) die Fische–Jungfrau-Achse: Ordnung im Chaos – Vision & Hingabe vs. Struktur & Pragmatismus Wohnschwingung & Hausnummern (2 → 8) Nervensystem-Hygiene, Anti-Trend-Business & mehrere Einkommensströme den Perspektivwechsel: Mit wem will ich eigentlich arbeiten? Aufgenommen im Januar – inhaltlich zeitlos und gerade jetzt besonders stimmig.Eigentlich habe ich diese Folge schon im Januar mit der Numerologin Jeannette Ruh aufgezeichnet – und doch fühlt es sich so an, als ob sie genau jetzt ihren Platz findet. Gerade für Selbständige und Unternehmer*innen im Jahr 2025 ist diese Folge gewidmet: Welche Strukturen tragen dich weiter – und welche dürfen gehen? Wo brauchst du Klarheit, Ordnung und Nervensystem-Hygiene, um dein Business stabil ins Neue zu führen? Denn die Zahl 9 trägt die Energie der Vollendung: das Innehalten, Klären, Loslassen, bevor mit der 1 ein neuer Zyklus beginnt. Gerade zum Neumond und der Sonnenfinsternis in der Jungfrau öffnet sich dieses Feld noch einmal kraftvoll – wir dürfen zurückschauen, ordnen und das Wesentliche von allem Überflüssigen trennen. Jeannette erzählt, wie die 9 in diesem Jahr die Jahreskreisfeste besonders intensiv macht: Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas oder Samhain wirken wie Tore, durch die wir nicht nur feiern, sondern tiefer eintauchen – in die Essenz, die bleibt, wenn wir alles Beigemischte loslassen. Und wir stehen gerade genau vor einem solchen Übergang: die Herbst-Tagundnachtgleiche am 22. September markiert den Moment, in dem Licht und Dunkel im Gleichgewicht stehen. Danach wenden wir uns langsam der inneren, dunkleren Jahreszeit zu – eine Zeit der Rückschau, des Erntens und der Vorbereitung auf das Neue. Vielleicht ist es also kein Zufall, dass diese Folge so lange warten durfte. Sie kommt genau im richtigen Moment – als Einladung, den Kreis zu schließen und bewusst ins Neue zu gehen und das letzte Quartal nochmal in der Kraft der 9 zu gestalten. Ich bin soo dankbar, dafür dass Jeanette sich Zeit genommen hat, ihr magisches Wissen über die Zahlen mit uns zu teilen Mehr zu Jeanette: Instagram: @the_numerologista Website: www.jearuh-numerologie.ch Ich wünsche Euch viel Freude beim Zuhören!

HardLore is joined by AFI vocalist Davey Havok in person at Brain Dead Studios for a landmark episode, weeks before the release of their new album "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun" on Run For Cover Records.Part 1 of this 4+ hour conversation begins with Davey's origin to punk/hardcore music, and by association, straight edge and veganism. We thoroughly dive into AFI's chronology, beginning in 1991 when he started the band with drummer Adam Carson in high school, to all the twists and turns before finally adding long time bass player Hunter Burgan, and the guitar player that would ultimately define the AFI sound: Jade Puget.We discuss "Answer That and Stay Fashionable", frustrations with Nitro Records throughout "Very Proud of Ya", "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes" and beyond, fully coming into their own with "Black Sails in the Sunset", wearing their love of the Misfits on their sleeves on the "A Fire Inside" & "All Hallows" EPs, "The Art of Drowning" being their first record to chart on Billboard, his experience making the Son of Sam record with the 2000 lineup of Samhain just a few years before "Sing the Sorrow" would take over the world, the severe damage done to his voice by singing in his iconic incomparable register throughout the past three decades, and much, MUCH more.We hope you enjoy part 1 of this incredible conversation and we thank Davey for his time, and Brain Dead for the space. Through our bleeding, we are one.______________________________________Filmed, mixed and edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)HardLore: A Knotfest SeriesJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggefCool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com______________________________________FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovngFOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE______________________________00:00:00 - Start00:04:00 - Finding Punk/Hardcore00:11:32 - Vegan Straight Edge00:15:34 - Broken Noses (everyone was dancing)00:18:53 - Defining Hardcore00:24:11 - Finding His Voice00:28:15 - "Asking For It"00:30:22 - Early AFI00:35:17 - Answer That and Stay Fashionable00:41:37 - Very Proud Of Ya00:46:10 - The Beauty of Physical Media00:47:22 - He Who Laughs Last video00:53:51 - Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes00:58:20 - The Many Eras of Davey's Image01:04:28 - Single Second/Musicals01:07:28 - A Fire Inside EP01:13:16 - Top 4 Misfits Tracks01:18:18 - Black Sails In the Sunset/Jade Puget01:29:49 - All Hallows EP01:38:50 - The A Perfect Circle Line Incident01:48:17 - The Art Of Drowning02:05:58 - Son of Sam Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alex Misery is unhinged. A man of many hats, most of whom are insane. He's a vocalist for the band Twisted Misery. He shreds on the skateboard. But where most of our listeners will know Misery is from his time in the ring. High Risk is a statement that has little to no meaning for Misery. Misery joined the National Wrestling Alliance at the first Samhain back in 2023. Before his time with the NWA, Misery was a mainstay in the Florida Independent Scene, gaining a bit of notoriety working for Coastal Championship restling and FTW Wrestling.A not-so-well-kept secret is that Misery is also a second-generation wrestler; he's the son of "El Leon" Apolo. Apolo is a former NWA World Tag Team Champion (as part of the TNA era of the NWA) and the North American Champion. His father was a well-established superstar in Puerto Rico before becoming a mainstay in the United States. Similarly, Alex spent time working in Puerto Rico; however, his time was spent at World Wrestling Council, the rival to IWA Puerto Rico. We will talk to Alex Misery tonight. We will speak to him about his time in Puerto Rico, getting established in Florida in the independents, wrestling from under his father's shadow, and becoming a fixture of the NWA. Please join us for this very unique interview.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez hace algunos siglos en el corazón de las Tierras Altas, un diminuto pueblo llamado Advie. Este pueblo quedaba  donde Irlanda se funde con la bruma y los suspiros del viento que provienen del mar del norte. Advie No aparecía en los mapas, y quienes lo conocían decían que estaba protegido por los antiguos, por espíritus del bosque y pactos olvidados. Las colinas verdes se ondulaban como un mar dormido, y los bosques eran tan espesos que la luz del sol apenas tocaba el suelo.En ese rincón encantado vivía Aine, una joven cuya belleza no era solo física, sino profundamente espiritual. Su cabello dorado parecía tejido por el sol del equinoccio, y sus ojos azules contenían la nostalgia de los lagos antiguos. Aine no caminaba: danzaba entre los árboles, hablaba con los ciervos, y tejía coronas de flores que duraban más allá de su estación. Era la hija del bosque, la guardiana de la esperanza.Un día, el destino le presentó a Eamon, un pastor de mirada clara y manos curtidas por el trabajo. Él tocaba una flauta de madera que había tallado él mismo, y sus melodías hacían que los pájaros se acercaran y los lobos se alejaran. Su amor fue inmediato, como si sus almas se reconocieran de vidas anteriores. Se encontraban en un claro secreto, donde los robles formaban un círculo perfecto, y allí juraron amor eterno bajo la luna de Samhain.Pero la guerra llegó como una sombra que cubrió toda Irlanda. Eamon fue llamado a luchar, y en la víspera del Día de Todos los Santos, prometió regresar un año después, al anochecer, en el mismo claro donde se habían jurado amor. Aine esperó. Y esperó. Cada año, en esa misma fecha, vestida de blanco, con una corona de flores silvestres, se sentaba en la roca del claro, mirando hacia el sendero por donde él debía volver.Los aldeanos comenzaron a acompañarla en silencio, dejando velas encendidas y canciones suaves. Pero el año prometido llegó, y Eamon no volvió. Las noticias hablaban de muerte, de traición, de cuerpos sin nombre. Aine, devastada, caminó sola al bosque en una noche sin luna. Nunca regresó.Desde entonces, cada 1 de noviembre, cuando la niebla cubre Advie como un sudario, aparece una figura entre los árboles. La llaman La Dama de Advie. Su vestido blanco parece hecho de luz y rocío, con encajes que se desvanecen como humo. Su rostro está cubierto por un velo, pero sus ojos brillan con una tristeza que atraviesa el alma.Los que la han visto juran que ella camina sin tocar el suelo. Que su caminar le permite flotar entre los helechos y las flores del bosque. Que cuando canta es un gaelico antiguo que no permite ser traducido por los habitantes modernos de la isla pero que se siente como un lamento profundo por un amor perdido. En ocasiones extiende la mano haciendo un gesto de invitación a los viajeros que encuentra invitándolos a seguirlas bosque adentro. Se cuenta que quienes en una arrebato de locura deciden seguirla son llevados a un claro en el bosque donde el tiempo se detiene y que una vez allí la dama de Advie les pregunta si tienen algún deseo que no hubieran realizado.  Los ingenuos que has osado responderle pueden ver cumplido su deseo cuando vuelven de aquel lugar pero que a cambio la dama les hace pagar un precio significativamente alto. Algunos narran como desde ese momento pierden la alegría y la esperanza y que luego comienzan a vivir una vida tan gris que solo es cubierta por un manto de tristeza que los hace pensar en quitarse la vida. Quienes han sido tocados por su mirada dicen que sienten una marca invisible en el alma. Sin embargo aquellos que resisten a los encantos de la Dama reconocen

In this cozy-chaotic catch-up episode, the witches are back around the ole coffee table with stories, laughter, and a sprinkle of new magic! First up, Mauve shares her enchanting new adventure:Have Cauldron, Will Travel — a roving ritual roadshow bringing sabbats and community magic to witches across Nova Scotia. Think: pop-up circles, moonlit gatherings, and a sabbath rituals with serious main character energy. All aligned with engaging the magical community all across the province and maybe farther to help out where needed. But the real heart of this episode? A deep, soul-stirring (and occasionally giggle-filled) discussion about our next big project: A community-crafted Pagan Book of Prayers.We're dreaming of a beautiful, ever-growing collection of words woven with intention and magic — a book you can turn to when you need grounding, guidance, or a goddess-powered pep talk.Morning offerings, evening gratitude's, prayers to the Moon, charms for strength, rites of passage, seasonal invocations, or those little whispered wishes you say when lighting a candle — we want them all.This isn't about perfection or high poetry (though we love both). It's about authenticity. About creating something sacred and accessible. About capturing the beating heart of modern pagan practice, one prayer at a time.✨ We're officially putting out a call to action:Send us your original prayers, chants, blessings, rituals, and witchy words. Whether it's for Samhain or sunrise, grief or joy, big life shifts or daily devotion — your voice belongs in this.So grab your quills, typewriters, or enchanted iPhones — and let's co-create something powerful, personal, and oh-so-magical.Blessed be, and happy listening.

Join Adam Barralet, Kyle Perez  and Nicholas Pearson in Episode #31 of the Crystal Confab Podcast as they do a deep dive into Chiastolite crystal meanings, including: Working with Chiastolite Crystals during Samhain & Beltane Harnessing Higher Truth with Chiastolite The history of cross-stones and the magic of the crossroads Tune in now for a deeper look at Chiastolite meaning!   Podcast Episode Transcript: Crystal Confab Podcast Introduction: Are you just starting with crystals? Or maybe you have a whole collection but aren't sure how to use them? Join four crystal nerds, healers, workers, and lovers for a casual chat about all things crystals.   Nicholas Pearson: Hello, and welcome back to Crystal Confab. It's Nicholas, and I'm joined by Adam and Kyle. Our crystal bestie, Ashley, is elsewhere in the universe today, and she'll be joining us again soon. And this week, we have, I think, another really underappreciated gemstone that we're gonna be confabbing about, and this is a stone that I think is probably pretty recognizable. Maybe fewer people can pronounce its name or spell it, and even fewer have worked with it.   And that stone is Chiastolite, which is a really fascinating stone that has been confused with some other stuff throughout history. No surprise there. And it's a variety of a mineral species called andalusite. I happen to know that Kyle's a big fan of andalusite more generally speaking. So what do you have to tell us about this mineral species?   Kyle Perez: Well, of course, I was introduced to andalusite doing my gemology degree. You have to cover pleochroic stones, and andalusite is like the poster child of pleochroism in minerals. As you can see, it has this kind of innocuous brown color, but when they are cut and faceted correctly and you see the light correctly through them, they show the traffic light system of colors, yellow, red, and green or like an amber color. And it is incredible that you can turn this stone one way to another and see these incredible colors shift and change. And I was drawn into it immediately, and I find it incredible to shift our perspective.   I think anything pleochroic has that ability to perspective shift, and it helps you to see practical ways of looking at things, energetic ways of looking at things, and kind of cerebral ways of looking at things. It really gives us the ability to look at things in many ways and from many angles and that's why I really love it and that's why I think it leads into and is incredible with Chiastolite or ‘Chiastolite' as it is supposed to be pronounced.   Adam Barralet: I'd love to actually just bring that up. I've always said Chiastolite, but it's the correct Chiastolite, is it Nicholas?   Nicholas: Historically, yes. So it's taken from the Greek letter, which in English, we often say Kai, but would be kind of a really guttural sound closer to that in Greek. So is marked with an x or shaped like an x, which is how it gets its name.   Adam: I love that. And it is a really interesting stone, is it? Because normally when it's cut and this is how we find a cut the most, it's, you know, that beautiful brown stone, really interesting having that black cross throughout it.   Nicholas: Yeah. And that phenomenon has attracted quite a lot of attention over the years. So the earliest textual references, we have to things objects just called cross stones appear in the very late, fifteenth century, so toward the end of the 14 hundreds. And around this time frame, we might encounter an occasional illustration, and they're mostly just pebbles that are crisscrossed with veins of quartz or calcite in them, and they were known as cross stones or some version of that. There's like a million permutations of this name, lapis crucifer, from lapis meaning stone and prox brass, ferere, tecere, so literally cross bearing stone.   We have lapis cruciatis. We've got the crucis lapillo,
