This past weekend we here in the United States and Canada jointly celebrated the holiday of Labor Day. So, for this week’s show I want to talk to you about our Working Lives, and how we as Pagans relate to the mundane problems of work. Think for a moment about the work you do. Why do you do it? Does it have any special meaning for you, or is it just a way to pay your bills? Are you pursuing a career? How did you come to choose this particular career? Or did someone else, like maybe your parents, choose it for you? Is there something that you’d rather be doing, but feel that you won’t make enough money if you pursue your dream? How do we, as Pagans, find meaning in our work? Or is THAT simply a too-idealistic question? Is small-scale farming the only honest work for a Pagan; or do we all have to run our own occult shops? Some of us have some real psychic talent, but most of us really don’t. What do The Gods ask of us as we lead our day to day lives? That’s the question that we should ask ourselves, and I’m going to do my best to offer some answers - or at least direct you to some sources for answers - over the course of this week’s show.

I'm very happy to bring you a new show after a two-week absense. Things have been a bit crazy here at Spiral Central (don't ask!). But, as promised, this week the show is dedicated to the fabled Merlin. Merlin is an important figure in Pagan lore - specifically Celtic lore. But I think folks following any tradition or any branch of modern Paganism should find Merlin to be most inspirational.

Yes, there is magick everywhere, so let’s take a look where! Here are a couple of places we’ll talk about on this week’s show. For one, the Gloaming. The gloaming is when twilight hovers between the boundaries of day and night. It is an eerie, shadowy time of transformation and release. We’ll take a look at what kinds of magick can be done at that time of the day. Although we know ... read more
Yes, there is magick everywhere, so let’s take a look where! Here are a couple of places we’ll talk about on this week’s show. For one, the Gloaming. The gloaming is when twilight hovers between the boundaries of day and night. It is an eerie, shadowy time of transformation and release. We’ll take a look at what kinds of magick can be done at that time of the day. Although we know the phrase, “Fee Fi Fo Fum” as from a popular children’s story, it actually has magickal origins. Ancient cultures have always believed in the power of sounds and the spoken word as portals for reaching altered states of consciousness and trance. We’ll take a look at the power of words and sounds. Finally, have you ever walked into a house or onto a piece of land and felt strong emotions - either a profound connection or a forceful revulsion? This is called “Energy of Place”, and we’ll look at how this can be a transformative, magickal experience.

This week we’re celebrating the Wiccan sabbat known as Lammas. Wednesday, August 1st, marks the Sabbat of Loughnasad, or Lammas! It’s the holiday of the first harvest, and it marks the beginnings of The God’s decent. Loughnasahd is named for the Celtic God, Lough. His name means “The Shining One”. He is also known as Lew La-VA-da, “the Long-Armed”, and he is often referred to as “master of all arts”. Lough is a God of the sun, light and the grain harvest. Like the Goddess Brigidt, he is a deity of many skills and he was a primary deity among the Druids. Also, like Brigidt, he is associated with fire, metallurgy, crafting, weaving and as a protector of the weak. Lough’s holiday on August First stands opposite Brigidt’s sabbat at the first of February. As you consider The Wheel of the Year, think about the similarities and differences of these two polar-compliment deities.
