Podcasts about Spiral dance

My guest today is the renowned Starhawk, a writer, activist, permaculture designer and teacher, and a leading voice for ecofeminism and earth-based spirituality. She is the author of thirteen books, including The Spiral Dance, The Earth Path, and The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for Collaborative Groups, as well as the visionary novels The Fifth Sacred Thing and City of Refuge.She directs Earth Activist Training, which combines regenerative design with spirit, social permaculture, and activism, offering courses both online and in person.In our conversation today, we begin with acknowledging the fires that have ravaged Los Angeles. We explore how the frame of ecofeminism connects this tragedy to how unequal power relations affect all aspects of life, with violence against women reflecting a similar disrespect for the earth. Starhawk eloquently explains how we might challenge these systems of oppression, offering frameworks for compassion and transformation.We delve into the misinterpretations of feminism, the role of mythology in shaping cultural narratives, and how visionary fiction can illuminate paths to a sustainable future. Her novel The Fifth Sacred Thing is a central inspiration for our discussion, particularly the exploration of how creative non-violence might confront a fascist regime and lead to true societal transformation.We also consider the role of men in social movements, focusing on the cultivation of authentic power, responsibility, and the capacity to truly love.The Mythic Masculine is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome to the Solarium! Join hosts Chelle and Laylla in their enchanting herbal haven, brimming with aromatic teas, mystical smoking blends, beloved books, crystals, divination tools, and much more. In this episode, they delve into the realm of classic witchcraft literature, focusing on four influential books published before 1990. So, grab your coziest mug of tea, grab a joint or some calming incense, and step into The Solarium!First off the witches brew a mug of tea from Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe, one of Chelle's favorite places to grab hand crafted tea blends in Salem. And they both roll up a little cannabis and a soothing blend of herbs to make sure their hangout sesh has a relaxing vibe. Once the cares of the world melt away, Chelle opens up about Scott Cunningham's "Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs", and why its a publication she deems essential for every herb witch's collection. She explains why Laurie Cabot's "The Power of the Witch," is the one she always recommends to new witchlings and why she will always keep a copy in her library.Meanwhile, Laylla revisits the magical archives with Margot Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon" and Starhawk's "The Spiral Dance." The duo discusses how these pioneering works have sculpted the landscape of modern witchcraft, noting that despite some initial shortcomings in research and cultural sensitivity, the authors have attempted to fix these problems with later editions. Despite the original issues, these books still contain valuable history and information that would benefit today's witches. Laylla and Chelle are also excited to announce their participation in the upcoming Sacred Space Conference, where they'll be conducting workshops alongside esteemed figures in the witchcraft and pagan spheres. Discover the fantastic lineup of workshops and learn how to register at the Sacred Space Foundation.We can't wait to share our thoughts on these magical reads and our upcoming adventures with you!

From your host Barbara Hello, Keelian friends and family! It's been a little while since we talked with a Witch, isn't it? So, I called up Cheryl Costa, who has been a Witch for quite a while. In addition, she's a teacher, an author, a filmmaker, UFO researcher and a Buddhist. We settled in the night we recorded, and had so much fun getting to know each other that we nearly forgot to turn on the recording equipment! (I am such a professional podcaster, y'all!) We talked about Witchcraft, Magick, Buddhism, UFOs, History and Mystery. There's a lot in here, and a lot that is good for everyone to hear—especially when it comes to how to practice magick effecively. And -why- to practice magic.k in the first place.I don't want to give too much away. Just listen, and hopefully enjoy. Cheryl's coming back sometime soon to talk about UFO's UFO statistics and most importantly, UFOs and the Woo…….As always, here is the list of books we discussed as well as a listing of Cheryl's books. The Spiral Dance by StarhawkWomen Who Fly by Serinity YoungMagickal Musings of a Rogue Witch by Cheryl CostaThe UFO Beat by Cheryl CostaUFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2020 by Cheryl CostaUFOs in Ohio and Where to Find Them by Cheryl Costa—there are also 49 more titles in this series, one for each state. A note about the books: The Desk Reference is full of analysis of sightings from both the MUFON and NUFORC databases—and it is amazing. It's all facts and figures and tables and charts, so it's not a reading book—it is literally for researchers who want some crunched data. Here it is, crunchy as a bowl of Grape Nuts…..but more useful. The UFO Beat is the opposite of the Desk Reference. Here, Cheryl gives stories that came from the data, in all their narrative glory. This is a fun book to read—but do understand, most of the stories in it come from New York, because she was writing for a small New York State weekly paper. I've only had a chance to glance at the Magickal Musings of a Rogue Witch, but what I saw looked plenty good. I'll write a review and post it on Amazon after I've read it.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4541473/advertisement

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we listen to the Wind blow, as we talk about Air Magick. We'll start off finding out what the Ancient Greeks had to say about the Air - was it warm and dry, or cold and wet - or maybe even warm and wet! Plato, Aristotle and many others all had opinions. Each of the Four Winds - North, south, east and west have specific magickal properties and are all ruled by specific Gods. And you can build a Magickal Air Alter. I've got ideas about how to create the alter, and then how to magickally atune yourself to the Element of Air. Also I have some Rituals that you can do with the wind. Finally, we'll hear some poetry from Emily Bronte, and "The Night Wind". Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, it's all about FLORIOGRAPHY - the Language of Flowers! Interest in floriography soared in Victorian England and in the United States during the 19th century, but Meaning has been attributed to flowers for thousands of years. And so, for springtime, lets look at the magick of 3 springtime flowers; the rose, the tulip, and the dandelion. And we'll hear a story purported to be a traditional English Fearie Tale. It's called The Blue Flower Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

On the latest episode I'm joined by Glenys Livingstone, a pioneering researcher and thought leader who's been walking the Goddess path since 1979. Glenys is the author of "PaGaian Cosmology: Re-inventing Earth-based Goddess Religion, which fuses the indigenous traditions of Old Europe with scientific theory, feminism, and a poetic relationship with place." This book was an outcome of her doctoral work in Social Ecology. Her newest book is "A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos: Celebrating Her within PaGaian Sacred Ceremony," which synthesizes much of her work over the years.On today's episode we discuss:* Glenys' spiritual background, including her conversion to Catholicism in her teens, as well as her growing disillusionment with Christianity*  The "a-ha" moment that occurred when she realized, pregnant and unmarried, that knowing a female deity would allow her to view her situation without shame* What "PaGaian cosmology" means, including how it combines pagan spirituality with scientific theory to give us a new way to recognize and honor Her (the Goddess) as creative life force* Why it's important that we recognize the inherent power in language and the naming of things and life experiences  * How honoring the equinoxes, solstice and cross-quarter days found on the pagan Wheel of the Year can bring us closer to the Sacred Feminine and provides an opportunity to consciously participate in the creative dance of the cosmosShow Notes If you'd like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/My book, “Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine,” is now available Womancraft Publishing!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we talk about The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was formally establihed on March 1, 1888. It's had a tremendous influence on Western Occult thought over the past century. Indeed, it's easy to say that without the Golden Dawn, Wicca - and therefore the whole Pagan revival - might never have seen the light of day. It's really too bad that today in Greece there is a neo-fascist group calling themselves Golden Dawn. So, I think for that reason alone, since we've just had an anniversary of the establishment of the original Golden Dawn, let's take this week to learn about it and celebrate it. But of course you can't talk about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn without first talking about Hermeticism, so that we could figure out just what IS so Hermetic about the Golden Dawn. And we'll hear from Aliester Crowley - not only in his own words, but in his own voice! Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate The Earth. After we Give Thanks to the Earth, we're going to look at Earth Magick; specifically the Element of Earth - what that's meant since ancient times and what it means in ceremonial magick today. And we'll look at the tradtions of Gnomes, the Fay and Lay Lines. And since we're celebrating The Earth, we'll celebrate the Earth Mother and specifically the Goddess Gaia. And just to liven up the soup - Salt! And we'll finish up with an Earth Meditation Ritual. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

The January Moon is known as the Cold Moon and the Wolf Moon. It is a time when shedding and cleansing takes place, the old year is released and the energy of the New Year is beginning. This is a time for letting go from the past and starting anew. And we'll listen to a talk from Louise Hay on Transcending Your Early Limitations. So this week, here on the Spiral Dance, let's work together to make this New Years Transition work so that we could Transcend toward our goals for 2023. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate the Full Moons of Winter. All the full moons have names, as you know. But during the Winter, the Dark time of the year the moon has an ever stronger effect on us. Each of the Full Moons of December, January, February and March have different qualities. So we'll take a look at each moon's quality. Also each of the moons have Goddesses associated with them. Specifically there are sabbats which are sacred to certain goddesses. And so, to my mind anyway, the full moons during those months are great for connecting further with those Goddesses. Also, I have for you a Spell that you could perform during the times of the Winter Full Moons to help you call upon the moon's energy to see visions. And I also have a recorded Guided Meditation for you from Bente Hensen. This is called "Luminescent Reflection" Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we give the Dark of the Year a true Welcoming. We all know it's rediculous to be afraid of the Dark, but cultural associations with Darkness remain strong, and it seems almost natural to be uncomfortable with this time of the year.. So, we'll talk about the gifts that this time of the year bring us - such as much needed rest! And much needed introspection as well. And we'll take a look at the Dark Side of Your Moon. You know when the Dark of your Moon is showing up whenever you find yourself in emotional turmoil. Understanding this will help you put yourself right. Then I want to share some thoughts about using the energy of Surrendering in this Dark Time. And that will bring us to a talk from Echart Tolle on the Deeper Dimensions of Stillness. Finally, I have some recipes to help you fend off winter-related illnesses. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, the topic is Reincarnation. Some believe, some don't. Some say that know if for a fact, that they've experienced their past lives. I don't make such claims myself, although I've experienced things that have given me pause for thought. So I've got a poem on Reincarnation from the pen of Aleister Crowley. And I've got some info on how why and where the concept of Reincarnation developed. We think of Reincarnation as an Eastern philosophy. But it can be found here in the West before the followers of the Abrahamic god decided to dictate reality to us. Nonetheless, I want to pay homage to some Eastern belief systems which have worked th concept out rather well. Then we'll come back to the West, in the 19th and 20th centuries when Reincarnation started to retake it's hold in this part of the world. And finally, some quotes from famous folk about Reincarnation. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we continue our celebration of Autumn as we look at some of the season's important associations. Water is one of the elements in ancient Greek philosophy, and in Occult circles it's associated with the Western Quarter of the Circle, and with the season of Autumn. So we'll look at how and why Water got associated with the Autumn as we tie in some of their similar Magickal Properties. Then we'll take a walk into an Autumn Garden with Ellen Dugan, well known herbalist and Kitchen Witch. Finally, what can be more Autumnal then the good old hooty owl. We'll look at the way people around the world have regarded the owl through myth and legend. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we listen to the Wind blow, as we talk about Air Magick. We'll start off finding out what the Ancient Greeks had to say about the Air - was it warm and dry, or cold and wet - or maybe even warm and wet! Plato, Aristotle and many others all had opinions. Each of the Four Winds - North, south, east and west have specific magickal properties and are all ruled by specific Gods. But they're not alone; all the minor winds from the northeast to the southwest have qualities and gods as well. And you can build a Magickal Air Alter. I've got ideas about how to create the alter, and then how to magickally atune yourself to the Element of Air. Also I have some Rituals that you can do with the wind. Finally, we'll hear some poetry from Michael Lee. Be well. Do good. Enjou the show!

Grab a glass of wine, pass the cheese, it's a book club episode! Emily and Kate have finally finished reading the first book of their officially casual Witchcast Book Club: "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk. Join them as they chat about their biggest takeaways and random musings about this seminal book on the origins and practice of Western Witchcraft. Then Kate pulls a card from her new Four Seasons Hwatu oracle deck.

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate happiness!. Happiness is an amorphous thing. It's hard to define, and sometimes it's hard to know if we really have it. But when we DO have happiness in our lives it truly is a Shiny thing. So this week we're going to look at just what is meant by "happines", and we'll look at it from different perspectives - religious, or spiritual; philosophical; and Economic or Political. Plus I want to share some famous quotes on the subject. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate the Full Moons of Winter. All the full moons have names, as you know. But during the Winter, the Dark time of the year the moon has an ever stronger effect on us. Each of the Full Moons of December, January, February and March have different qualities.

And I also have a recorded Guided Meditation for you from Bente Hensen. This is called "Luminescent Reflection" . Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, let's create Magick through Masking. If you're going to a Halloween party, what will you GO AS? We all wear masks, although the extent to which we layer ourselves or are aware of them varies greatly. Masks are a familiar and vivid element in many folk and traditional pageants, ceremonies, rituals and festivals, and are often of an ancient origin. One reason for wearing a mask is to pretend to be someone or something else. The mask can be a kind of language that expresses the emotion of the figure one chooses to create. And for this week's Spiral Dance Spell of the week, we'll examine The Mask of the Unified Self Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

This week here on The Spiral Dance, let's look skyward and see what's up there. Every season brings different views of the Heavens, and Autumn is no different. And, the Stars of Autumn bring their own stories and myths. So to start this week, I have a poem written back in 1819 by the English Romantic poet, John Keats. In his poem, "To Autumn" he captures the feeling and spirit of this season. Then we'll talk a bit about Astronomy itself, and one view of how why people started making Constellations in their minds. Then I want to talk about the Real Stars of Autumn; The Great Square of Pegasus, Cassiopeia and Draco the Dragon. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Witches, when we cast and conjure, we know we have to adapt and shift and integrate our practices with the land we find ourselves blessed to walk upon. But how do we translate a very Northern Hemisphere tradition, like druidry, into the Australian context? Druid Julie Brett takes us on a journey into druidry’s heart, shares how it can be practised with integrity and respect for indigenous peoples, and why it can lead us deeper into a love and appreciation of Country - the power and song of the land, sea and sky. Julie and Lucy dig deep, ask the tricky questions, ponder and share from the soul in this beautiful episode full of appreciation for the sacred land of old we are blessed to call home this lifetime.

Merry Meet Again! We are back, and there's so much to share! Enter the Circle and get comfy, Witches, as we enter magickal season three of the Witchcast. Lucy discusses the healing power of listening and sharing, tackles some tricky esoteric questions about how we treat our physical selves and the power of being body positive, and shares how she stays grounded when compelling false narratives sweep through the spiritual communities. Lucy's been book-witching throughout the southern hemisphere summer so she shares her fave enchanting books from solstice season, wonders why she couldn't get through The Winx Saga, gets excited about a movie based on Sutton Hoo and old-school archeology, and delves into the legendary Paris fashion house who's based their latest collection around an arcane 15th century Tarot. Aaand there's a very ah-ha moment kind of story for Witches who've been paying attention to how the moon influences their sleep patterns – because yes, science is playing catch up – and the studies read like a magickal manuscript. Gorgeous pagan music this episode: Black Snake by Wendy Rule from the album Black Snake; Lughnasad by Damh the Bard from the album Herne's Apprenctice, and Into the Green by Spiral Dance from the Woman of the Earth album. So much love to all the Lucy Cavendish Patreon supporters, to all the lovely listeners who've written in, and to Producer Shayne for making Lucy's kitchen sound like a recording studio!  And thankyou to all the Witchcast sponsors – Naomi Manouge at Primal Healing, Blue Angel Publishing, Kohli Tea (having a cuppa right now) and if you would like to become a sponsor of the Witchcast, just head to Lucy's Patreon page to see how to make this happen!

Blessings of Love and Magick to you all! We are approaching the Summer and Winter Solstice - and apart from a whole lot of energy happening (and maybe, just maybe, a beautiful possibility called hope rebirthing). To help you get through the holiday season, Lucy answers some questions about Christmas and families and how to give yourself the energy you may need to get through what can be a challenging time for lots of magickal folks. Then she reports on the energy-changing potential of the tunnel burrowing under Stonehenge's ancient sacred site, brings you a cauldron full of witchy news, answers questions about casting spells on family members (yikes!) and much more. Enjoy enchanting pagan music from the wonderful Laura Daligan, David Pendragon and Damh the Bard - including a song-story on Ceridwen and Taliesin in true Bardic style. The Oracle of the Hidden Worlds comes out to support and share with listeners who've requested a reading, and Lucy offers up a message of self-love for YOU.

Merry Meet, Witchcasters! Brightest blessings to you all as we enter the season of Belloween, so to celebrate the Samhain spirit Lucy offers up the next five of her top ten films about death, hauntings and the otherworlds: Crimson Peak, A Ghost Story, The Lovely Bones, Truly Madly Deeply and Boys in the Trees (starring Wendy Rule). We have your viewing over Belloween sorted! Then enjoy a long and fascinating conversation as Lucy interviews the Spirit Medium, Yamile Yemoonyah, who shares her theory of seven types of guides - and discover which could be yours! Yamile is a truly beautiful soul, with ancestral connections to Columbia, Africa and Europe, kind and caring, and has had some wild times over her life - including starting up a business with the help of an African Goddess! We cover power animals, angels, gods and goddesses, nature spirits, star beings, ancestors and ascended masters - as well as how to communicate with them. You'll come away from this conversation inspired, and deeply curious about what lies beyond this world, and how the interdimensional worlds overlap and intertwine with ours. Finally, well, we knew this conversation was coming, but given Yamile touched on cultural appropriation, and given how much of it takes place, it was time to delve into why working with sage can be problematic. It is at its heart an ancient, sacred indigenous practise - so how has the commercialisation of this indigenous sacred religious practice impacted upon the First Nations peoples of the United States and Canada who were, until recently, banned from using sage at all. A difficult, but very necessary conversation about cultural protocols that could help us all become more kind, aware, and conscious of the lines between the sacred and the unholy. This week's beautiful Pagan Songs are all by a new artist (to the program) - David Pendragon makes his Witchcast debut! You'll hear: Spiral Dance by David Pendragon Pendragon Hall with Dance of the Fae and to soothe and comfort us all, will put you in the most beautiful, calm and loved space, regardless of what is going on within your life, or out there in the world.David Pendragon's Irish Blessing The intro music is "We Are One" by the band Nordic Daughter.

Shivers down a Witchy spine! When was the last time a movie really scared you? Lucy found the Witchfinder General, a cult classic of folk horror, one of the most chilling filmic experiences she's had. Not because it's gory, or even particularly "horrifying" - but because it's based on the real-life witch hunts of Witchfinder General of England, Matthew Hopkins - one of the villains of the Burning Times. It is a great film, and so worth seeing, but it still has the ability to get right under a Witches skin…. On an enchanted note, Adrienne Piggot, the talented lead singer of legendary pagan band, Spiral Dance joins the Witchcast to chat to Lucy about Awen, the Old Ways and how she found her heart's path in Druidry. And who knew that the famous Four Thieves Oil has its origins in the plague pandemic of the 1600s - Lucy delves into its history, and shares how you can make your own version of this renowned remedy… Songs are by Spiral Dance because, well, we love them!
