Podcasts about Wyrd

What does it mean to truly live the relationship of the animate world around us? How must our path as Settler-Colonialist effect this relationship? In this episode with my friend Kelley Harrell, we discuss this and many surrounding topics! This conversation explores the profound challenges and opportunities of cultivating animistic awareness in these uncertain times.Kelly, an animist, death walker, and author, shares her journey of navigating America's settler culture while developing authentic spiritual practices with runes. She articulates the crucial difference between intellectually believing in animism and embodying that life-way through direct relationship with place. "Animism for me is the thing that I strive for," she reflects, "but I often feel that I'm so entrenched in American settler culture that I will never be able to really claim it."As climate "chaos" disrupts our seasonal patterns and ecological relationships, Kelly calls us to develop new ceremonies that honor both ancestral wisdom and present realities. The Land remembers what our ancestors did – and it remembers what settlers continue to do today. Holding both of these truths  becomes essential for authentic animistic practices today. Or just in being human: a good kin.The conversation turns toward the end to Kelly's work with Runes as living entities rather than static symbols. When approached from an animistic perspective, these ancient symbols offer a bridge between worlds.Perhaps most powerfully, in the end, we explore death – both literal human death and the countless transformations that comprise ecological cycles. We explore how our culture's fear of death manifests as our impatience with natural process. We see that it takes Earth 100 years to create an inch of soil, but we want it in 1.Kelly is an animist, author, deathwalker, and death doula held and tended by Tuscarora, Woccon, and Sissipihaw land. For the last 25 years, through Soul Intent Arts, she has helped others ethically build thriving spiritual paths. Her work is Nature-based, and centers soul tending through the Elder Futhark runes oracle, animism, ancestral tending, and deathwork. Kelly also host the podcast, What in the Wyrd, and also writes The Weekly Rune as a celebration of the Elder Futhark in season.Learn moe about Kelly HERE.

In this solo episode of WAIT.HOLD UP...WHAT?, Dawne Hanks reflects on the power and significance of being called “weird.” Inspired by a conversation with her nephew, who was labeled "weird" for playing outside alone at school, Dawne dives deep into how the word "weird" is often used to belittle, but it actually carries a much more powerful meaning.Dawne shares her personal journey of being called “weird” from childhood through her professional life, and how these moments made her shrink and question whether she could just be “normal.” But in this episode, Dawne uncovers the fascinating truth behind the word “weird” – it comes from WYRD, an old English term meaning fate or destiny. Being weird isn't something to hide from; it's a sign that you're following your own path.Dawne encourages listeners to embrace their unique, beautiful weirdness and stop conforming to societal rules that try to box us in. It's time to lean into what makes you stand out and show up as your true, authentic self. This episode is a reminder that your weirdness is your destiny, and it's what makes you who you are.

Are we bound by fate or do we weave our own destiny? Discover the two fates in Druidcraft!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, Charlie and Brian explore the dual concepts of fate in Druidcraft—_Dána_ (the fate we are born with) and _Wyrd_ (the fate we create). They discuss how our natural talents, inclinations, and ancestral lineage shape our starting path, while our choices and actions allow us to weave our own destiny.Through the lens of Christopaganism and Druidry, they emphasize the importance of recognizing these fates, harnessing intuition, and developing divination skills like scrying, tarot, and pendulum work. They also stress that fate is not fixed—it is fluid, like water, and can be channeled through skill, discipline, and magical practice.The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their innate gifts, recognize external influences on their lives, and take active steps to shape their own destiny. It also highlights the importance of journaling, testing spiritual insights, and using divination to navigate the subtle currents of fate.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations:https://ko-fi.com/cedorsetthttps://patreon.com/cedorsettSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcastChurch of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections:BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.comThreads https://www.threads.net/@creationspathsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/## Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Fate and Druidcraft01:05 Meet the Hosts: Charlie and Brian01:14 Understanding the Two Fates: Donna and Weird02:04 The Importance of Language in Conceptualizing Fate04:59 Exploring Your Natural Talents and Inclinations09:04 The Role of Effort and Discipline in Shaping Fate17:53 Divination Practices and Intuition Training27:36 Conclusion and Community Engagement

In this episode of _Druidcraft 101_, Charlie and Brian, both Christopagan Druids, explore the themes of **blessing, right relationship, and interconnectedness** as they dive into Chapter 2 of _Druidcraft_ by Philip Carr-Gomm. The episode unpacks the **Selkie story**, a folktale that illustrates the contrast between **selfishness and selflessness**, as well as the **Law of the Returning Tide**, which mirrors the natural rhythm of reciprocity and the impact of our actions on the world around us. The hosts discuss **the Web of Wyrd**, an Anglo-Saxon concept of fate and interconnectedness, and relate it to the spiritual path of **mindfulness and intention**. They introduce the analogy of the **spiritual gardener**, emphasizing that cultivating **blessings, love, and prosperity** requires careful nurturing—just like tending a garden. This foundational work prepares practitioners for **deeper magical practices**, teaching them to harness subtle energies and recognize their role in the larger cosmic weave. Charlie and Brian remind listeners that **magic begins with mindfulness**, and skipping these foundational lessons may hinder future magical practice. --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ Magic starts with mindfulness—learn the way of blessing and the power of the returning tide!

What is a witch? How have they been a part of history, pop culture, and in everyday life from history to today? Find out in the revised Witches: A Compendium by Judika Illes from Weiser books.  Witches introduces you to a range of witches and how they have interacted with, impacted, and influenced society through the ages.  Included are witches of history such as Marie Laveau, Tituba, Merlin, and the Countess Erzsebent Bathory to modern practitioners; divine witches; and witches of literature and cinema (TV and film) such as Samantha Stephens and Endora, Elphaba and Glinda, and the Sanderson Sisters. Also included are tools for a modern witch, travel tips, animals associated with witches and more.  This is a great handbook to learn about a variety of witches as well as eplore the question yourself: "Am I a witch?" Pick up a copy from you favorite bookstore (or ask them to order it for you) or from Weiser Books.  Check out Judika's other works and upcoming oracle deck: Protection Spells (due in May 2025). Follow Judika on Instagram at: @judikailles   and Weiser Books at: @weiserbooks       # # # # Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Follow my channel on Instagram: @wyrdgifts1 Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: giftsofthwyrd@gmail.com Order The Christmast Oracle Deck created by me and artist Vinnora at https://feniksshop.etsy.com follow FB/IG: @thechristmasoracle Please leave feedback on Apple and other podcast providers.

A look back.  A look ahead.   We play a few clips & invite you to guess what the gals are talking about.... Omens, signs, feelings of dread and finally Helene.   Then on to 2025! Trigger warning--not for the squeamish or nervous.  Lots to be offended or upset by.  Yes, it's dark in Appalachia.  Take note.           #WyrdMountainGals #TerriblePurpose #ByronBallard #Helene #WyrdArmy #DigitalWitchery

I love when a Local Business Spotlight just ooozes passion, and this one is at the top of the list. Today, we talk with Amy Murphy, a reformed attorney who opened up Wyrd Bookstore a little more than a year ago! If you are looking for the Barnes & Noble or Amazon experience--look the other way because this is not only a wonderful little independent book store but a home for the community. It's a coffee shop. It's a gift shop. And the entire team is filled with that same passion as Amy. Today, we learned how she jumped from lawyering to bookselling, where the word "wyrd" came from, and how to pronounce it. Most importantly, we learned how one woman and a small team have become part of the fabric of our community, from events to book clubs and more! Have a listen!
