Robert Cooper and Jesse Starcher review the latest from Faith No More, Sol Invictus! How do you like your eggs? I think the phones ringing!Sol Invictus (Latin for Unconquered Sun) is the seventh studio album by American rock band Faith No More, released on May 19, 2015. It was Faith No More's first studio album following 1997's Album of the Year, marking the longest gap between two studio albums in their career, and their first release on Reclamation Records. Sol Invictus was also the band's first album since 1992's Angel Dust to feature the same lineup as its predecessor.The album marked the group's fifth collaboration with longtime producer Matt Wallace, this time helping with the final mix rather than a more substantial producing role.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsoFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulich

Please be aware the stories, theories, re-enactments and language in this podcast are of an adult nature and can be considered disturbing, frightening and in some cases even offensive.  Listener Discretion is therefore advised.  Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained.  I'm your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, monsters lurking under your bed or deep in the forest, that unknown creature lurking just out of sight and frighteningly imagined creatures, ghosts, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries.  So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....  And on today's Dark enigma well, we have a special Christmas episode!  So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight.  The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Holiday that will be a single shot and every time I say Jesus, that will be a double shot.  Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today's dark enigma… so don that bulky Santa suit, your very best ugly sweater as we jump into the Real Story of Christmas and the History Behind Some Dark Traditions… History doesn't record when the first Christmas was celebrated, but it was probably sometime in the fourth century CE, in the Roman Empire. What's sure is that the first historic record of the holiday is a calendar dating from 354 CE, belonging to a rich Roman Christian named Philocalus. That calendar tells us that on the same date - December 25 - another holiday was celebrated, marking the birth of Sol Invictus, “the Unconquered Sun.” That was a new pagan cult, worshiping a new sun deity.  Both these holidays coincided with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, which had been celebrated from December 17 to December 24th. That was a festival celebrating the god Saturn, which – as we will see - contributed heavily to latter-day Christmas traditions. 

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank addresses the common concern that comes up every year around this time regarding the validity of celebrating Christmas. It is true that when Christmas was originally instituted, December 25th was a pagan festival commemorating the birthday of a false god: Sol Invictus, the "Unconquered Sun." The reason early Christians chose December 25th was not to Christianize a pagan holiday but to set up a rival celebration pointing to the preeminence of the Lord Jesus Christ. While the world has all but forgotten the Greco-Roman gods of antiquity, they are annually reminded that two thousand years ago Christ invaded time and space.Hank also answers the following questions:Can you explain the mystery Paul talks about; is he talking about the rapture?How can I help Muslims understand that Jesus is the Son of God?Should we continue to observe the Sabbath as Jesus and the apostles did?Is the story of Jesus copied from stories of Egyptian gods?In Ezekiel 29, is the destruction of Egypt something that happened in the past or will this happen in the future?

To celebrate the Christmas season and the culmination of Epiphany, this episode presents a brief digression from our Atonement series to discuss that all-important date of December 25th.  It's become popular to view this date with cynicism and a deconstructionist perspective, as we learn more about the pagan and non-Christan inspiration and roots of our Christmas celebrations.  Is this cynicism warranted?  Or is there room to appreciate the traditions and truths which undergird the season while still internalizing the meaning of the holiday?

Please be aware the stories, theories, re-enactments and language in this podcast are of an adult nature and can be disturbing, frightening and in some cases offensive. Listener Discretion is advised – there is very adult content ahead and you have been warned. Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma.... And on today’s Dark enigma we have a very special Christmas episode since, well, it’s Christmas! On a little side note, thank you all for the hot toddy recipes you sent me, I tried several and they were very good, but I’m calling out Linda, hers was fruity and delicious and had so much alcohol it knocked me on my ass. And when I finally woke up 17 hours later, I felt much better and had my voice back, so thank you guys so much! As always, we will be playing our drinking game but remember the drinking game is only for those of you that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. Sorry Santa, no egg nog for you; but for my egg nog, no egg and no nog and double the bourbon. Yum! Alright, now for the game part… every time I say holiday that will be a single shot and every time I say Jesus, that’s going to be a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the Real Story of Christmas and the dark history of it’s traditions History doesn’t record when the first Christmas was celebrated, but it was probably sometime in the fourth century CE, in the Roman Empire. What's sure is that the first historic record of the holiday is a calendar dating from 354 CE, belonging to a rich Roman Christian named Philocalus. That calendar tells us that on the same date - December 25 - another holiday was celebrated, marking the birth of Sol Invictus, “the Unconquered Sun.” That was a new pagan cult, worshiping a new sun deity. Both these holidays coincided with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, which had been celebrated from December 17 to December 24th. That was a festival celebrating the god Saturn, which – as we will see - contributed heavily to latter-day Christmas traditions. That’s right folks, Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is correct, it’s Saturnalia, not the birth of Jesus. So then why December 25th? Scholars differ on why December 25, was chosen as the birth of Jesus, because it really wasn't. So this is your warning Bible thumpers, I’m about to piss you off with facts which will challenge your faith. Hippolytus, in the second century, was probably the first to propose this date. The New Testament doesn’t tell us when the birth took place: and the only clue the text gives us - "some shepherds staying out in the fields keeping watch over their flock by night" (Luke 2:8) actually implies that the birth took place in the spring or summer, as sheep would have been kept indoors during the cold winter nights.

We Celebrate the Solstice The solstice:  it is a shared human experience.  We celebrate, and reflect, as we move together between darkness and light.  Today, we celebrate the solstice. I'm Adela, and this is Just Breathe....You Are Enough™. Together we will deepen our connection with our ourselves, strengthen our relations with others, and re-think together how we connect with our world. Thank you for joining us as we celebrate the solstice, moving together as a planet in our rhythms between darkness and light. Today, in the Northern hemisphere, is the winter solstice: the north pole is at its point furthest away from the sun.  It is the longest night, and shortest day of the year.  The south pole is at its closest point to the sun:  in the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day and shortest night of the year. The winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere:  we move between darkness and light.  It has seasons.  It has rhythms.  These rhythms are felt in the inside world just as they are felt in the outside world.  We are part of the whole:  we feel more whole when we tune into the cycles and flow of that whole of which we are a part. Can we feel our place in the cycle?  Can we flow with that cycle:  sometimes more deeply inward; sometimes more boldly outward? Regardless of where you live, the solstice happens at the same moment for everyone on the planet.  It is among the most basic experiences of our shared humanity, an experience we share with all of life. We move between darkness and light.  The pattern is cyclic and precise.  There is a moment which – in the north, today – is the moment of deepest darkness.  Where I live, that moment is 10:23pm this evening, Friday, December 21, 2018.  After that moment, the sun is reborn – the year is re-born:  the light returns in a gradual and gentle – yet undeniably decisive way. There is a wreath on my door today.  It is an evergreen wreath.  It is evergreen – always green:  the light does return even after our times of deepest darkness.  It is a circle:  it celebrates the continuity of life, even as we celebrate the death and rebirth of the solar year.  The wreath is an ancient symbol, and its circle of evergreens affirms this cycle of life with a spirit of protection, prosperity and hope:  light will come after darkness.  In some old cultures, the front door of the home is opened at midnight to let in the new year.  Endings are what creates the space that makes new beginnings possible. It is, around the world and since ancient times, a time of reflection, of celebration and of feasting:  the return of the light…the rebirth of the sun…. The solstice is celebrated all over the world, and this from deeply ancient times.  Ancient stone monuments – such as the late Neolithic structure known as Stonehenge, in England, built some 5000 years ago – honour the solstice, the re-birth of the solar year. In temperate European climates, the midwinter festival was the last feast celebration, before deep winter began. Most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter, so a plentiful supply of fresh meat was available. Wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. They celebrated the return of the sun.  The year was re-born, a new solar year begun.  So, they celebrated the possibilities that come from new beginnings and affirmed – in the gap when the sun appears to stand still – that life continues. Pre-Christian people in northern Europe celebrated a 12 day “mid-winter” festival called the Yule; it means “wheel”, the turning of the wheel of the year.  Modern celebrations of the Christmas tree, the wreath and yule log descend from these old Yule celebrations; the English word Yule was first recorded in the year 900:  the word came into English at the time of the Vikings. The Roman winter solstice festival of “Saturnalia” was a time of family and friends feasting together and exchanging presents. The “Unconquered Sun” - originally a Syrian god - was adopted as the official sun god of the Roman Empire under the Emperor Aurelian.  Emperor Aurelian established December 25 as the birthday of the “Unconquered Sun” as part of the Roman Winter Solstice celebrations. In the year 350, Pope Julius I selected this day to represent the birthday of Jesus, and this Roman solar feast day was Christianized. January 6, celebrated as Epiphany in Christian tradition and linked with the visit of the Magi, was originally an Egyptian date for the Winter Solstice. Many “Christmas” celebrations are linked to winter solstice celebrations of ancient pre-Christian European cultures:  holly, ivy, evergreen boughs, pine cones, and mistletoe celebrated re-birth and continuity at the re-birth of the solar year, as did the colours red, green and white. Today's Santa has many European roots. He embodies characteristics of Saturn (Roman agricultural god), Cronos (a Greek god, known as Father Time), the Holly King (Celtic god of the dying year), Father Ice/Grandfather Frost a (Russian winter god), Thor (a Norse sky god who rides the sky in a chariot drawn by goats), Odin (a Scandinavian All-Father who rides the sky on an eight-legged horse), Frey (a Norse fertility god), and the Tomte (a Norse Land Spirit known for giving gifts to children at this time of year)...in addition to his Christian association with St. Nicholas. In Iranian tradition, the winter solstice is known as “Yalda night”.  Family members gather to celebrate by eating, drinking and reading poems.  Nuts and pomegranates – seeds of new life – are especially served at this time. In Japan, it is custom to soak in a hot bath at the time of the solstice in order to not catch cold in the winter. We move from the cold into warmth, from darkness into light.  It is a time of celebration, of reflection, of re-birth and renewal, of gratitude and of hope. The festival of lights in Hindu tradition – Diwali – is celebrated in October or November, according to the position of the moon.  Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, is celebrated a bit earlier in December:  the Jewish calendar is also a lunar calendar. Yet, around the world at this time of year, we celebrate with light that shines through; we light the candles that we enjoy all the more because of the long winter’s night. It is a time for celebration – for connection with each other within that wholeness the worlds of which we are a part. It is a time to enjoy the festivity of the season. In the midst of all things, it can be good to remember that throughout the ages – the ancient Egyptians, the Celts, the Hopi – we have celebrated mid-winter in a way ….well….that remembers it is mid-winter. At its heart, winter is a season for quiet stillness and rest.  Plants and animals slow down to conserve energy.  The sap has drawn into the trees.  It is nourishing for us to also make time to draw a bit into ourselves and take note of what we find there. Creating a celebration of the winter solstice – in addition to or in place of other holiday activities – can give us space to connect to the flow of this change in our cosmic rhythms and our internal world. At its heart, it is a time to feed the soul, a time for quiet reflection, to enjoy the warmth of home in the deep mid-winter as darkness turns towards the light.  We draw inward, acknowledge our successes, articulate our learnings, name our dreams and give birth to new visions. If you would like to create your own winter solstice celebration this year, here are some suggestions of how you might do that. Do a solstice eve ritual in which you meditate – or take quiet, reflective time - in darkness – alone or with loved ones - and then welcome the birth of the sun by lighting candles, perhaps placed in a spiral or a circle. Taste the potential of light that comes out of darkness. Enjoy the potential of being re-born anew. If you have an indoor fireplace or an outdoor fire circle, burn a log – a really big log - as a Yule log and save a bit to start next year's fire. Watch the sun rise or set. Go for a walk in nature, and visit a place in nature that is special for you: offer gratitude for the fruits of the year. Put up a holiday tree. Decorate the house with lights. Enjoy some mulled wine. Enjoy oranges: the orange is a symbol of the return of the sun. Throw the I Ching. Celebrate life by contributing to the wellbeing of life on the earth. Donate food or clothing. Volunteer time at a social service agency. Donate funds and make a pledge to do some form of good in the world in the new solar year. Feed birds: this has been part of the celebration of the Yuletide holidays for hundreds of years in Europe. The seeds are symbols of life and are seen to send a spirit of good will to others who walk with us in the natural world.   Curl up – with some wine, or coffee, or eggnog, or tea – and reflect. What have been our accomplishments in the year that has past?  What have we learned?  What are we grateful for?  What do we regret?  What will we choose take with us into the next cycle?  What will we choose to let go…as we say good-bye to the old and welcome the new….? We release the old to make space to move forward in the direction of our dreams. How will you be re-born, as the cycle of life celebrates the return of the sun, the time when our deepest darkness begins its journey, once again, into the light?  The quality of the relationship that you have with the outside world directly relates to the quality of relationship you have with yourself.  Come see us at “justbreatheyouareenough.com” and join the JBYAE community.

A storm during his youth destroyed the outlying shanty neighborhood where his family lived, sweeping his father out to see and injuring his mother. He sought the aid of a sorcerer, and sold himself into seven years of bonded slavery in exchange for the sorcerer healing his mother. For years, he toiled for the sorcerer. His service started first with task of drudgery, but the sorcerer recognized Shan's keen mind and turned his skills to aiding her in her works and her dealings with spirits. At the end of his indenture, the sorcerer began conducting a great working. She drugged Shan, intending to use him as a sacrifice. The ritual was interrupted, and in the chaos, a blaze erupted. In his addled state, Shan walked into the fire, charring his flesh and leaving him permanently scarred. Shan turned to the streets of Wu Jian to survive. He joined the Black Wave gang, and quickly rose in prominence. His knowledge dealing with spirits gave him and the Black Wave and advantage, and he soon become known for elaborate heists. His exaltation came during one such heist. The gang had learned that an artifact of the first age was being housed for transfer to a treasure ship from the Realm. Organized by Shan, they organized a heist to steal the artifact. They had accounted for everything except the presence of one of the Exalted. The Dragon-Blooded scion of House Peleps saw through their schemes from the beginning. Slowly, she picked their team apart, and the plan came close to unraveling. Shan's determination, audacity, and skill drew the attention of the Unconquered Sun when he touched the armor Sozen. With the new-found power of the Exalted, he escaped, beginning to build a legend of his own in Wu Jian.

We begin today with a correction. It is the birthday of the Unconquered Sun, and in the garden, there is an intern. Be Safe, and Remember: You Are Not Alone.

Sponsored by Old Spice Terry CrewsIn this Off Topic we discuss the significance of the UCS, what he has done in the world, what he contributes, and how he is completely irrelevant to any exalted game. We talk about a trend in RPGs where players tend to unconsciously seek out an authority figure to command them and tell them what to do. We discuss the damage parts of 1st and major parts of 2nd editions flavour did to peoples perception of the setting to the point where people think they need to appeal to an adult figure to solve the worlds problems.

It is the Feast Day of the Unconquered Sun. We here at the Hidden Almanac wish you and yours a happy holiday, in accordance with your own rituals and traditions. Be Safe, and Stay Out of Trouble.
