Podcasts about Solstice

Jill opened the show talking about her new Rebelle Rally team. Listen in for details. Tom shared some information about a not-for-profit organization that packages sundry products for patients undergoing Chemotherapy. The packages include items to help recipients deal with chemo side effects, including loss of taste, dry skin, and dehydration. You can check out Lemons of Love at lemonsoflove.org. The hosts went to discuss the Cybertruck. The polarizing Tesla pickup is no longer being accepted in trade by Tesla, a thing which will likely impact resale value. Also, Tesla has introduced a new, less expensive Cybertruck trim level, which may lure some shoppers back into showrooms. Tom noted the addition of a more affordable trim level to the GMC Sierra EV lineup. The new model lowers the cost of entry for a Sierra EV considerably. Still in the first segment, Jill and Tom talked about Jeff Bezos' new EV startup Slate Auto. The new company is gearing up to produce small, $25,000 electric pickup trucks meant to be customized by the end user. Production begins as early as late next year. In the second segment, the hosts welcome veteran auto journalist Gary Witzenburg to the show. Gary talked about a pair of articles he recently wrote, both about 2-seat Pontiacs. The first, which appeared recently in Collectible Automobile, covered the Fiero. The latter, which appeared on the Haggerty website, covered the brand's Solstice small sports car. Listen in for fascinating insights into both cars. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Sixty More Seconds” quiz. How did she do? Listen in.

HERE you can support Andata e Ritorno - Storie di Montagna.We tell the story of Edoardo Pontiggia's journey to retrace his great-grandfather Angelo's experiences as an Italian soldier during World War I on Monte Grappa. Angelo Pontiggia fought in the war, including the Battle of Solstice in June 1918 where he earned a medal for valor. The texts detail the harsh conditions, intense fighting, and heavy losses suffered by soldiers on Grappa. Despite surviving the war, Angelo contracted tuberculosis and died shortly after. The text was written by Sebastiano Frollo, founder and author of an Italian podcast that explores stories and memories of the mountains. The translation and narration were generated by artificial intelligence; they were later processed and modified to ensure the best possible listening experience. We believe that using this technology makes it possible to share certain types of stories, memories, characters, and underexplored regions with an international audience. We want to give something back to the mountains, and to do so, we've chosen audio as our medium. You also have the opportunity to support and review this project; all the details can be found in the episode description. We hope you enjoy listening!www.storiedimontagna.comContacts: andataeritorno.podcast@gmail.com Our Instagram page

This week we are, again, joined by the amazing and talented, Jena Doyle - author of the Midsummer series and we are excited to be discussing the last three of this series, wrapping it all up. There are so many things to say about Samhain, Solstice, and Beltane but not enough time in a podcast episode so we hope you all read along. Here we'll discuss the lives, love, adventures, and trials of Lex, Ivy, Carter, and Miri, as well as the very steamy, squishy sex between them all. What happened to these four in that forest in Kilwaughter years ago didn't stay there but followed them until the end. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could subscribe, rate & review!

The quarterly panel profoundly introduces each new season initiated by either the Equinox or Solstice. “Master Vibrational Astrology author, researcher and instructor Linda Berry, along with Robert Pacitti, interpret Vibrational Astrology patterns specifically to this upcoming season. The Spring Equinox chart becomes a seed chart to understand the potential themes revealing core consciousness themes to connect with for Spring.” Spring Equinox – means the ‘equal - night' “The spring equinox occurs when the sun enters ° Aries. In both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere Day and night length are approximately equal. The Spring Equinox is celebrated worldwide as Astrology Day because it begins the cycle,” said Sue Minahan host of the weekly show.” Deeply spiritual, the equinox symbolizes nature's cycles. A balance between the solstice where the light now returns for the Northern Hemisphere and retreats for the Southern Hemisphere. Light returning offers seeds growing and new life.” The gift of Vibrational Astrology (VA) This exciting ‘evidence-based' system understands patterns through extensive research. The process discovers deep energetic vibrational frequency patterns beyond the natal 1st Vibration chart. VA looks at each vibration frequency as an entire chart, discovering further specific vibrations unique within a vibrational frequency chart.

The fear of absolute helplessness, Is frightening beyond belief, Resigning myself to the will of God, Is all I can do for relief. ☉Join me & Jessica in HAWAII for the Solstice! A few spots left! https://bit.ly/hawaii-2025Happy Equinox with a Saturn, North Node, Neptune, Sun, Venus, and Mercury stellium spanning the cusp of Pisces and Aries! A great big WOW setting the tone for the year ahead with both Mercury and Venus retrograde. As you can see at the end of the video, Mercury and Venus are in what is called an "inferior" conjunction to the Sun (in between the Earth and the Sun as opposed to being on the far side of the Sun). The closer they are, the more of a role they play in the unfolding of consciousness. The interpretation is that this is a time, and this will be a year of rebellious speech, some radical, self-centered ideas, filled with fiery passion. The intention is to individuate and break free from the mass media or conventional norms, values, and thinking for all of us, as individuals, to have the right to speak our truth, hold our own values, and express our unique (maybe crazy?) selves! The nice thing is the trine up to the Moon in fiery Sag to doubly emphasize the desire for freedom!The challenges will come in the arena of feelings and emotions with Mars sesquiquadrate the Moon and square Chiron. Mercury in Aries is definitely straightforward (or blunt), and, backed up with a passionate, emotional, and subjective Mars in Cancer there can be some "Get outa my yard!" kinda rhetoric going on as folks (governments) may get possessive over their territory. This week's report is more personal than social as I discuss the feeling of helplessness (overwhelm) and the remedy of resignation (surrender) to deal with it. We can be at that point this week and this year, where we have done all we can and are now simply dealing with the results of past thoughts and deeds, the will of others, and God (or whatever you call divine intelligence/Creator/Source). It can be a wild ride if our deepest desire and attachment is to the ultimate truth (and not much else LOL!). Neptune in the last degree of Aries combined with La Luna waning after that blood Moon Lunar Eclipse(!!!) points to this week as a time of accepting ourselves, our lives, our relationships, our communities, and our world as it is. Trying to control, manipulate, change, steer, or, in other ways, modify the situation to meet our own perceived needs could prove futile. This is a good week to "go with the flow," or simply exhaust yourself trying to fight it to no avail.Take the Long and Winding Road!  https://youtu.be/yDP3dwpoVTo?si=P2fRKk8BqQHmjOopSo Much Love,Kaypacha☉

Microcosmos Records is pleased to announce Jungle Tales, a compilation album by DJ Synergia. The luminous elfish image of Natalia Arustamova, a.k.a. DJ Synergia (St. Petersburg, Russia), is well known by the audience of electronic music festivals with her numerous performances. Her DJ sets are dazzling and groovy, and the flow of her performance is smooth and vibrant. Jungle Tales is a compilation album of tracks by electronic artists of psy-bass, breaks, dark chill, and organic house. Its tracks are masterfully selected with the idea of combining nativity and novelty through beautifully blended ethnic electronica. It seems just like a musical game, in which realities and times are intermingled by a roll of the dice, the game that allows something wild and ancient to suddenly burst into everyday life, the act that becomes a trigger for the players to reconsider their perception of the reality. Turn on Jungle Tales by DJ Synergia, dive into a smooth music journey full of genre twists, let the mysterious force take you into the fantasy worlds of "Jungle Tales", and go on a trip with Microcosmos Records!

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans Callisto, le Podcast qui vous fait voyager à travers les récits mythiques et les légendes !Cette histoire nous emmène au bout du monde, dans le grand nord. Là où la neige ne fond pas et où le vent glacial fige le monde. Là bas, aussi loin qu'il est possible d'aller, il y a un pays aux frontières floues modelé par les forces de la nature. Au cœur de cette nature féroce, on trouve le peuple des Samis, les éleveurs de rennes. Ils habitent cette terre sauvage depuis la nuit des temps. Ils chassent, ils pêchent, ils cueillent. Ils vivent tant bien que mal dans l'hostilité de ce monde. Autour d'eux des lacs, des ruisseaux, mais aussi et surtout, la toundra et les forêts enneigées…Bonne écoute ! Hébergé par Acast.

Enter the wormhole with one of the techno artists we're most excited about in 2025. Born in Osaka and now based in Tokyo, DJ MARIA. joins a decorated lineage of Japan's psychedelic elite, cut from a similarly explorative cloth as Wata Igarashi, Haruka and esoteric icons ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and DJ Nobu. This nerdy sanctum of deep techno is a notoriously hard world to break into: only the very best make the grade. DJ MARIA.'s head-spinning sets emphasise why she's already part of the club firmament at home, and is now in the midst of a global breakthrough. Her trademark is tapestries of acid, trance and techno that strike a perfect balance between vibrancy, impact and restraint. She bit the bug through a teenage discovery of DVDs showing legendary psytrance raves like Solstice and Vision Quest, yet it wasn't until 2014 that she started DJing, balancing gigs with shifts at Tokyo's Face Records and, as of late, motherhood. Today, as well as producing and touring venues such as FOLD and Bassiani, she helps run two boutique forest festivals—Moment and Transcendence—both of which play a big part in upholding Japan's storied techno tradition. DJ MARIA. has reached these heights principally because of her exceptional talent as a DJ, which is on full display on this week's RA Podcast. The two-hour mix is pure manna for psychedelic techno heads, though we're confident the depth of feeling, subtle pacing and seamless stitching will lure in fans from across the electronic spectrum. RA.971 is a total treasure—the latest wow moment from an artist destined to have a career littered with them. @djmaria-jp Read more at ra.co/podcast/971

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! How would Alaric of the Visigoths celebrate the midwinter holiday (Christmas? Solstice? Yule?). The idea was kicked around a lot between the two of us until it seemed imperative that we actually write this episode. And thus, an episode was born. In this episode, Alaric is about six years old. He doesn't exactly understand that his life is hanging by a knife's edge – caught between the invading Huns and the colonizing Romans. This is the story of a little boy just trying to do the right thing and not get his belly slit open by the Perchta, as one does around this time of year. So sit back, pour yourself a festive holiday beverage, and enjoy this very fictional, occasionally true episode.  Sponsors & Advertising This podcast is a member of Airwave Media podcast network.

It's not your typical Solstice week as relational, communication, or information pressure may feel intense between you and another person. The South Node in Libra is conjunct the Super Galactic Center at 2 degrees Libra, highlighting what is out of balance and creating an internal wrestling match around how to deal with it. The Sun moves into Capricorn on Dec 21, and then squares the Nodes of Fate, which applies a sense of responsibility, commitment, and purpose to what you need to evolve and do differently going forward. The second square between Jupiter RX in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces is exact at 14 degrees on December 24, highlighting an ongoing discomfort between mental direction and intuitive approaches that have different intentions. Saturn in Pisces is the stronger influence, and your soul is guiding you to trust an emerging strength within, even when it doesn't seem logical or simple.

On this winter solstice episode, Michael Meade states at the beginning: “This is not just the dark time of the year, but increasingly dark times for everyone, especially for those who care for the souls of other people and for the well-being of the earth we all live on.” He goes on to describe how ancient symbols and practices at the Winter Solstice served as a reminder of the cosmological connection between the human soul and the hidden unity of life.    Symbols have the power to bring the mind and the heart together and connect us to the deepest truths of life. A Christmas tree can stand for the Tree of Life, as it represents both the still point at the center and the power of life to change and renew itself. Simply lighting a single candle in the midst of darkness can be a reminder of the eternal process of renewal and restoration that is an essential, yet easily forgotten aspect of all of life.

Episode 209 In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all. The astrology of the week of December 16th, 2024, is hazy yet reflective. The Sun squares Neptune (the planet of dreams), tempting us to pause our projects and hibernate. Then the Sun moves into Capricorn and the Solstice occurs. This event urges us to use what we've learned this year to set intentions for 2025. Over the next seven days, we have the opportunity to balance resting with planning for the year ahead. Let's get into it. This episode covers: The Sun's square to Neptune on Wednesday, December 18th Venus' trine to Jupiter on Thursday, December 19th The December Solstice and the Sun's ingress into Capricorn on Saturday, December 21st This episode was recorded on 10/23/2024.

Tudor Christmas was a time for revelry and fun. Henry VIII and his court celebrated the full 12 days of Christmas in excess, with tables ladened with roast swan, suckling pig and venison pasties, among other delights. It's believed one Christmas, the King spent the equivalent of £13 million on the celebrations. He loved to dress up and tease his wives as well as take part in festive games.Dan travels to what was once the heart of Henry's court, Hampton Court Palace, to meet with Historic Royal Palaces chief curator Tracy Borman and Richard Fitch, of the Historic Kitchens Team, to discover how the Tudors celebrated and what of their traditions we still have today.This is episode 2 of our 'Origins of Christmas' series. Every Wednesday in December, Dan explores the history behind our Christmas traditions—from extravagant Tudor feasts and carolling to midwinter Solstice celebrations, the bawdy entertainment of the Georgians, and the family-focused customs of the Victorians.Produced and edited by Mariana Des ForgesMusic by Epidemic Sounds & All3Media Music LibraryDan Snow's History Hit is a History Hit podcast.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

This episode begins with the word polarization being chosen as the dictionary word of the year and ironically being the one thing that both sides of the political spectrum agree upon. The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines polarization as “a division into sharply distinct opposites in which opinions and no longer range along a continuum, but become concentrated at opposing extremes.” When polarization becomes the key word, extreme levels of tension are being experienced, both on the collective level and in the psyche of each individual person.   At critical times on Earth, the basic elements and energies of life polarize. We become crucified by seemingly irreconcilable aspects of a conflict that was under the surface all along. When that happens, simply choosing one side or the other in order to avoid the tension and the uncertainty simply causes the dilemma to reform in another area or at a different level. At that point, it becomes important to know that a tension of opposites is the precondition for creation and for any meaningful change.   While the two poles of a polarity seem to be irreconcilable opposites, they are secretly one. For in a true polarity, like light and dark or up and down, one side cannot exist without the other. Like night and day, existence itself is an essential unity, appearing as an oppositional duality. Seen that way, meaningful change and true transformation are the secret aims of the tension inside life itself.   While great uncertainty and fear can cause people to quickly choose one side of each dilemma, maturity, a word which can mean both “ripe and timely,” is related to our ability to withstand and understand the tension of the opposites. When we hold the tension of opposites long enough a surprising third way can appear that allows a truly creative solution that renews the energy of life itself.   Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

The Roman winter festival celebrating the harvest god, Saturn, laid the foundations for many of our Christmas traditions today- feasting, gift-giving and revelry. During Saturnalia, Emperors held elaborate games at the Colosseum while others gave gag gifts. Meanwhile, in the home, the societal hierarchy was flipped - slaves were served by their masters at the dinner table and out in the streets it was a carnival of music, dancing and debauchery.Dan is joined by Dr Frances Macintosh, The English Heritage Collections Curator for Hadrian's Wall in the North East and she takes Dan through a typical Saturnalia.This is episode 1 in our 'Origins of Christmas' series. Every Wednesday in December, Dan explores the history behind our Christmas traditions—from extravagant Tudor feasts and carolling to midwinter Solstice celebrations, the bawdy entertainment of the Georgians, and the family-focused customs of the Victorians.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann and edited by Max Carrey and Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

This episode begins with the recognition that, what the United Nations calls “the biggest election year ever recorded,” has left most countries on Earth more divided and less free. Any issue that arises quickly becomes another example of two opposing attitudes or conflicting views of life. As increased polarization fractures any sense of civil society, people come to believe that they literally live in two different worlds that are essentially unreconcilable.   Following a line from Shakespeare, Michael Meade considers the idea that we are in “a prison of our own making” if we believe we are simply living in two different stories. Rather, it is our mutual fate to be alive at a time when the underlying tensions of life rise to the surface. We are all in the same story which can either lead to a meaningful transformation of life on earth or leads us further down the road to oblivion.   Although people commonly now feel that we live on opposite sides in a divided world, the deeper divide and the more damning prison of our own making occurs when we forget that as humans we have always lived in two worlds. The heart of humanity has always been stretched between the ground of Earth and the endless expanse of the heavens. Humanity has always dwelt in the betwixt and between, the liminal space between the throes of hard reality and the wonders of great imagination.   We are most human when we suffer the tension of the opposites in order to find again the threads to the ongoing story of creation and the renewal of the world. The trouble is that genuine visions and meaningful revelations of the way out of the darkness tend to appear only after all the more rational, familiar and predictable ways of seeing and being have failed.   In truly critical times, we can't solve our problems at the same level in which they were created. We become more trapped in time, more stuck in blind beliefs and more caught in despair when we have no other level of life to turn to. If there is no otherworld of spirit and imagination, there can be nowhere to turn to when everything around us becomes more irrational, more dehumanizing and increasingly chaotic.   As has happened at other critical times here on Earth, the keys for unlocking this prison of our own making have to include an awakening to the sense that there is an otherworld that exists right beside this world, that extends far beyond the political world, a realm that is not ruled by the blind march of time, but rather is connected to and can reconnect us to things eternal.
