In this episode of Gifts of the Wyrd, I'm joined by Jane Matthews, creator of Ogham: Divining the Celtic Way published by Weiser Books. We talk about the Celtic roots of ogham and Jane shares insights into why she created the deck. We discuss it as a divination tool, working with ogham in everyday practice, and connecting with them for meditation, guidance, and magical work. We also talk about some similarities between ogham and runes — how both were used as writing systems, are used as tools of magic and divination, and developing a deeper spiritual connection with them.  The deck comes with a detailed book with Jane's insights to help you learn or gain a different perspective of the ogham. The book includes meanings, spreads, and insights on some specific topics such as relationships, work, and health. Have a listen and get to know Jane and the ogham.  Ogham, Divining in the Celtic Way deck can be ordered from Weiser Books, your local metaphysical or book store, or online seller.  For more about Jane and her work, see https://www.janematthewsmedium.com/ ; Instagram @janematthewsmedium; Facebook @janematthewsmediumship You can find out about Jane's Ogham, Rune, mediumship, and other workshops at the World Divination Association (WDA) and all the cool things going on there at www.worlddivinationassociation.com # # # This deck was sent to me by the publisher.

051026 Wyrd Mountain Gals Where Have All The Candy Stripers Gone? Episode Airs Sunday    5-10-26 A nice catch-up call with the gals.  Lots of opinions about the hospital system, some politics and maybe a hex being planned.    

Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---Just over one thousand years ago, an unknown scribe committed to vellum a fantastical tale of swordsmen and sea monsters, set not in contemporary Anglo-Saxon England, but instead in the distant swamps of Denmark, hundreds of years in the past and hundreds of miles away. In doing so, they would open a portal to one of the most mysterious and murky periods of European history. In this episode of Gladio Free Europe, Liam and Russian Sam return to the mighty mead-halls of the Migration Era for a discussion of Beowulf, the greatest work of Old English and one of the most fascinating documents of the early medieval world.The poem is effectively without parallel. It is a full-length heroic narrative written in Old English, whose eponymous protagonist is attested nowhere else. Though other works in this genre had been created, its sole survival and rediscovery made it the national epic of the English people, often compared to Homer's Iliad in both theme and content. As it was popularized in the early 19th century, the poem became useful to British, German, and even Danish nationlists who sought to use their ancient and medieval heritage to justify present-day political ambitions. But Beowulf does not belong to any existing society. Instead, it is an early medieval document of an idealized antiquity, possibly analogous to the role of King Arthur's Camelot to later medieval Englishmen. Beowulf provides a unique view into the Anglo-Saxon imaginary, illustrating how a deeply Christian population reckoned with their pagan past, and how the insular descendants of North Sea migrants understood their relationship to an ancestral home. But beyond its anthropological value, Beowulf is a mature reflection on ephemerality and loss. The setting, Heorot, is the most glorious of mead-halls, yet the audience knows from the start that it shall one day burn. Beowulf and King Hrothgar are the best of men, yet even their virtues cannot prevent the ruin caused by mankind's own doomed nature. The concept of wyrd, fate, features prominently in the poem. Despite not having a direct influence on the culture of high medieval and early modern England, Beowulf has profoundly shaped contemporary English literature. Its heroic narrative, prefiguring chivalric romance and King Arthur stories by several centuries, would inspire the career of J.R.R. Tolkien and shape the contemporary understanding of early medieval Northern Europe. Comparative studies with Norse and German literary works help us understand more fully the cold, courageous, and sometimes cruel world of early Germanic-speaking peoples. Most importantly, it is one of the most engaging and entertaining pieces of early fiction. Everybody, whether a proud Sea-Geat or a descendant of Cain, ought to read Beowulf.

In folk horror, you know it's getting serious when the locals would rather see a house burn than let an outsider move in.

WEIRD TALES - New York City Edition - with Steve StocktonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anna Urošević Applegate to discuss her book Slava! Slavic Paganism and Dual-Faith Folk Ways, an in-depth exploration of Slavic Pagan traditions and the dual-faith practice that weaves together folk Paganism and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. We talk about Anna's experience growing up in the United States as the child of immigrants, navigating the liminal space between cultures, and how those experiences shaped her spiritual path and worldview. Slava! brings out the rich traditions of Slavic cosmology, magic, and honoring land and ancestors—wherever you may live. The book offers practical insights into working with Slavic deities, along with guidance on rituals, meditation, altar building, and seasonal practices that can be adapted to where you live and your own experiences. Whether you have Slavic heritage or feel called by deities such as Perun or Veles, this conversation—and Anna's work—offers a meaningful resource for deepening your practice.

In this episode, I'm joined by Robert Schreiwer, Michelle A. Jones, and Stacey Lynne Stewart to explore Heathen Traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch: An Urglaawe Primer—an interesting look at a distinct expression of Heathenry rooted in the Pennsylvania Dutch culture. Together, we talk about Urglaawe (or-glaw-VEH), a living spiritual tradition that explores the roots of Germanic Heathen spirituality with regional folklore, language, and lived experience. We discuss its mythology, seasonal practices, and spiritual framework, as well as how other local related traditions like Hexerei and Braucherei intersect with—but remain distinct from—Urglaawe itself. We talk about what it means to practice a land-based, culturally rooted tradition in the modern world, and how Urglaawe offers a path that is both inclusive and deeply tied to place—integrating the seasons and environment where you live with your practice. Whether you're new to Heathenry and exploring its different expresssions or looking to expand your understanding of regional traditions, this discussion will give you insights to a unique practice. The book is available from Llewellyn on their website, at your local bookstore, and online.  # # # Resources # # # The Urglaawe page: https://www.urglaawe.org Urglaawe Facebook Group:  Stacey: IG @the_accidental_urglaawer, Blog Robert: IG @schreiwer Michelle: Facebook Deitsch Girl Displaced # # # This book was sent to me by the publisher.

Wyrd-iversary: 10 Years and 100 Episodes of Gifts of the Wyrd In this special milestone episode, I'm celebrating the 100th episode of Gifts of the Wyrd and ten years of podcasting. From the first recording in 2016 to conversations with authors, folklorists, creators, and practitioners across the wider Pagan and Heathen communities, this episode reflects on how the show began, how it evolved from “Heathen NPR” to something closer to “Pagan NPR,” and what I've learned along the way. I share favorite topics — from runes to Dark Christmas folklore — and reflect on the joy of learning the "behind the scenes" with creators. Most of all, this episode is a thank you to the listeners, guests, publishers, and friends who have made these ten years possible. Here's to wherever the Wyrd leads next. # # # Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Subscribe to Substack: https://giftsofthewyrd.substack.com/ Instagram: @wyrdgifts1 Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: giftsofthwyrd@gmail.com Order The Christmas Oracle Deck created by me and artist Vinnora at https://feniksshop.etsy.com follow FB/IG: @thechristmasoracle  Music.

Wyrd Mountain Gals Show Listening to Snoopy Jazz and Talking on the Phone Episode Airs    Friday, 01-30-26    9pm EST The gals have a kind of light hearted (for them) conversation.  Is this normal?  We're still not sure. Hope you enjoy!      Please share with your Wyrd friends.  

In this episode we meet with Irish author Rev. Lora O'Brien to talk about her latest book The Mórrígan, Ireland's Goddess: Sovereign Secrets from an Irish View.  We talk about her book and the Mórrígan as well as learning about the goddess from Irish resources, mythology and folktales, Irish sacred spaces, and connecting to an authentic Irish practice itself.  It's a really interesting conversation which goes beyond the goddess and Lora shares tools to create a vibrant Irish (or other) religious practice.  Lora is an author and Mórrígan devotee who has written this book with a perspective towards the Irish practice, mythology, and cultural connection. She is a modern Draoí—a practitioner and priest of indigenous Irish magic and spirituality. She is founder of the Ogham Academy and with her partner, Jon O'Sullivan, she is the co-founder of the Irish Pagan School. The Mórrígan, Ireland's Goddess is available from Llewellyn books.  # # # Instagram: @morrigan.academy.irish @irish.pagan.school  Links: Lora O'Brien  Mórrígan Academy    National Monuments Service  (Historic Environment Viewer) Folklore archive - Duchas   # # # This book was sent to me by the publisher.

Join Justin as he chats with actor Magnus Bruun about becoming Eivor in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, the importance of fiction, growing up in Scandinavia, and more!Link to purchase my new supernatural horror novelette NO PERPETUAL CARE:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G5438774Magnus Bruun bio:“Magnus Bruun is a Danish actor known for a variety of roles across film and television, most recognized for his portrayal of Cnut in The Last Kingdom and Eivor in Assassins Creed: Valhalla (where he provides the lead male voice, and mo-cap for all iterations of the character). Though accumulating an impressive portfolio of roles since 2007, it is safe to say that Bruun's calling revealed itself in when he took on the role of Cnut in the historical fiction television series, The Last Kingdom. With his striking Viking-like appearance and Danish as his mother tongue, Bruun has embodied the character both physically and mentally. Bruun's filmography also includes productions such as When The Dust Settles, Sprinter Galore, Land of Mine and Gaelden. In 2020, Bruun became a fan favourite amongst Assassins Creed fans when it was revealed he voiced the male lead, Eivor, as well as providing mo-cap for the role in Assassins Creed: Valhalla.”Intro and outro theme created by Wyrm.

Today I welcome the legendary Anne Bishop to the show to discuss her new book, TURNS OF FATE, the first book in her new series, The Isle of Wyrd.  We chat about the genre blending she's done for years across fantasy, horror and romance, as well as her longevity in an ever-changing publishing marketplace. We also talk about shifting in paranormal fiction since she always finds a new way to include shifters in her work. What an honor to have her on the show!All links and show notes are on my website at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/

This Thursday, we dive into listener theories and full-series foreshadowing for Heir of Fire Ch. 21–25, where Aelin's wildfire erupts, Manon chooses Abraxos in the pit, and Dorian overhears the secret that shatters everything. Jac and Amy read through your thoughts on Aelin's near-death escape from the skinwalkers, Rowan's “you'd be more useful dead” comment, and the messy emotional undercurrent of their first real moment of trust. We dig into theories about what wildfire actually signals in SJM's magic system, the deeper significance of Rowan calling her Aelin, and whether the skinwalkers connect to later Wyrd-soldier lore. We also unpack your takes on Manon and Abraxos, their instant, furious, reluctant bond, and how this moment rewrites Manon's understanding of power, ownership, and partnership. And of course, we get into the catacombs scene: Chaol's confession, Aedion's hunger for the blood oath, and Dorian's icy heartbreak when he realizes everyone has been keeping Aelin's identity from him. Full spoilers through the end of Heir of Fire and light references to later Throne of Glass books.
