Podcasts about Wicca

In this episode of Cultish, we sit down with Jeremy Jenkins—Pastor from North Carolina and founder of All Things All People—to dive deep into the world of Wicca and Neo-Paganism. What draws people to these modern spiritual movements? How do they connect with ancient practices and beliefs about the unseen realm? And most importantly, how should Christians understand, engage, and respond to those exploring these paths? Join us as Jeremy shares his insights, pastoral experience, and apologetic perspective on the growing influence of Wicca and Neo-Paganism in today's culture. Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERESHOP OUR MERCH: HEREAll Things All People: HEREPurchase Jeremy's Book: HERE

They have been a mentor and teacher for almost 5 years and started sharing their practice on a Facebook page, which eventually grew to a YouTube channel where they created a podcast and later became a creator on TikTok. They began researching Witchcraft and Wicca around the ages of 11 or 12 and fully started practicing their craft at the age of 13. Fire Lotus has come a very long way and gone through all types of changes when it comes to the magic that they practice. Presently, Fire Lotus describes themselves as a witch, they are a witch who practices different types of magic, those different types being; Appalachian folk Magic, Southern Conjure Death Magic and then something he like to call Instinctual Magic. Fire Lotus has worked heavily with their ancestors and land spirits. Depending on the working that they're doing, depends on which deity they call upon. Fire Lotus is also gifted at being able to channel spirits and continually building their connection and abilities. Most of their channeled messages from spirit come through during client Oracle readings. Presently they have been offering two types of community spell work services, a community candle (which is always free) and then the other one depends on the month of which specific theme.

The New Age Movement is a term that covers a lot of territory spiritually. It can reach all the way to the left, embracing dark belief systems like Wicca, paganism, and Satanism. It can also reach all the way to the right, embracing things like success seminars and positive thinking programs that don't even promote a concept of God, yet incorporate certain New Age principles. This movement is one of three primary global influences preparing the world for the Antichrist, so you need to understand these truths.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Why does Paganism attract so many LGBTQ+ people—and how are queer practitioners reshaping Pagan traditions from within? In this in-depth episode, Dr Angela Puca draws on extensive academic research and ethnographic evidence to explore the powerful intersection of queerness and contemporary Paganism. We'll examine why decentralised structures, ritual flexibility, and the sacralisation of the body make Paganism particularly resonant for queer seekers. From feminist Wicca to trans-inclusive magical circles, and from the mythic play of the Minoan Brotherhood to the controversies surrounding Dianic Witchcraft, this episode uncovers the theological innovations and spiritual practices that queer Pagans are creating. Drawing on scholarship by Sarah Pike, Melissa Wilcox, Robert Wallis, Martin Lepage, Kathryn Rountree, and many others, this lecture explores topics such as gender alchemy, ritual storytelling, queer reinterpretations of myth, and the embodied politics of magical practice. It also problematises the gender polarity model in traditional Wicca and explores how LGBTQ+ practitioners are queering divinity itself. Join us for a critical and compassionate conversation about how Paganism becomes not only a refuge for LGBTQ+ individuals but also a space of radical religious creativity.CONNECT & SUPPORT

On this week's Bonus Episode - the last one of Series 6 - we're talking all things Midsummer!Folding in the history of the term 'Litha' which is sometimes also applied to the day, we're talking Gerald Gardner and the birth of Wicca, the parts Aleister Crowley, the Druids, and the Rosicrucians had to play in the revival/creation of pagan traditions, and reminding ourselves what being a "pagan" means and why!We also unpick knotty changes in the English calendar, including the layers of festivals as mentioned by the Venerable Bede and initiated by the early Christian church. Though, at the same time, what vestiges of Roman custom might we have carried forward? What about prehistoric celebrations, linked to megalithic monuments like Stonehenge? And then there's the shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, which meant moving just about every festival to a new place in a rejigged month... Midsummer is a total mess! Yet, surely it's incredibly simple? The Celts understood; it's the longest day, and therefore a day for worshipping sun and heat. In which case, why is Beltane the modern fire festival, and Midsummer about... nature spirits like the Oak and Holly King?It's a rich topic, we hope you enjoy our chat about it, and that you also like Martin's story written specially for the episode, "John Barleycorn." Like the folk song says, we all drink his blood and know that he must die! The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Hosted on Acast.

We told you things the way that they seemed, now it's time to get into things the way that they actually were.In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it's origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning. We also include passages from Damien's book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.There's so much to unpack in this episode and this case!Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

In tonight's dead letter, listener Leah experiences repeated visits from what appear to be gnome-like beings. The visits began after she began practicing Wicca, and thankfully, these mysterious creatures appear to be non-threatening…but persistent. Are they simply hallucinations connected to sleep paralysis, or are they part of the fabric of reality that is hidden from us most of the time?

"It was Jesus. I was on my knees in front of Jesus. He looked at me with such love, love that I have never ever seen in this world." ---------- Happy Easter! Let's go back many years to a very special Easter weekend. It was episode 104. Melody was about to meet Jesus, a man she had no belief in. For decades, she had worshiped the Earth, in a pagan belief known as Wicca. Melody believed there was no God, no heaven or hell. Then, came her dream. In the dream, she saw a man with long hair, being led by a jeering crowd. She didn't know who he was, but something about his eyes—so full of love and understanding—pulled her in. When he looked at her, it felt like he saw everything… and still loved her. He spoke to her of his concern for her soul. That dream led her to a church on Easter Sunday, that she'd never visited before, and to a divine appointment she could never have planned, another unmistakable Touched by Heaven moment.

the sweet spot in April I have been talking about it seems like all freakin year. The time where its safe to actually get inspired and know it can go somewhere time.   The next two weeks offer the ideal time to reflect on what we have learned since the beginning of the year, this Saturday we just had a full moon in Libra reminding us that we can recalibrate quickly and efficiently. This transformation was also supported by the Chiron Cazimi in Aries on the same day, which gives us a boost of clarity to make quick adjustments and changes needed to thrive this week.

In this episode of Sense of Soul Shanna chats with Lacey Burbage who is a fourth-generation folk healer and hereditary/generational witch who follows a pagan/animist path. As an ordained priestess of the Goddess, she practices a nature-based tradition that has its roots in modern Wicca. Lacey specializes in domestic magic, including hearth, cottage, hedge, green, and kitchen magic. These practices are deeply ingrained in her family's heritage, and she is honored to carry on these traditions and pass them down to future generations. She's devoted to helping others develop an authentic practice that's uniquely their own.   In Lacey's new book Naturally Modern Magick you'll be guided by the wisdom of green witchcraft as it reveals the secret healing and magickal powers of plants, animals, insects, and minerals. This knowledge comes from generations of people who have tended to their relationships with the natural world, earnestly learning about each element. Naturally Modern Magick offers gratifying practices and everyday solutions for witches. This practical guide contains charms, spells, and rituals using natural objects and elements like herbs, crystals, flowers, earth, and water. Learn magick for protection, happiness, love, passion, health, healing, work, success, divination, spirituality, and more. Immerse yourself in these spells and rituals, and they will become your spiritual companions, magnifying the power that already resides within you.  www.naturallymodernlife.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com
