Episode 124: Positively Positive For this month's show, I talk about the power of thinking positive as it relates to magick, ritual and (most importantly) life in general. I talk a bit about the news of the day - and place my own personal perspective on each topic (everyone's mileage will vary). For the spoken word segment, I pull another of my own pieces of work: "The Journey: My Path" which I wrote back in 2006 during a much less positive period in my life. Its interesting to read that and r ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Episode 123: Circles
Utilizing a visualization concept centered around the intersection of circles - I take a peek at how to observe similarities between belief systems instead of differences. I also provide my take on the latest news - and handle some viewer mail. Also, there's the return of the spoken word segment with my poem "The Journey Begins".

Episode 121: Follow Your Inspiration, Follow Your PassionIn this episode, I talk a bit about how following your inspiration and passion can bring you to interesting and exciting places. I never dreamed I would be a teacher - though I've always had aspirations of doing just that since I was fifteen years old. Now that I'm actually teaching college classes, I'm finding a certain excitement creeping back into my life as I watch my students comprehend the material and put all of it together into their own vision of how the material can be ...

Episode 119: Poetry in Motion
As many of you know, I write my own poetry and read quite a bit of it as well. This particular art-form also colors my own perception of the world around me. In this podcast episode, I talk a bit about how poetry provides a handhold of sorts in my everyday spiritual walk. My musical feature for the show is the incredible Paul C. Newman, whose album “Passing Fayre” is one of the most lyrically stunning works I have heard in years! ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

I use the example of my own daily ritual that comes through my walking and how I go about keeping it from becoming a mechanical process.

Episode 117: Year in Review (2010)
I wanted to talk about a bit of what's been going on in my life. Lots of new, interesting and exciting things taking place. I also wanted to take some time and do the very last look at the news and politics for the show. This is an arena I won't likely be covering again in the future. There are many other podcasts that do this, and quite a few of them do it far better than I do. I also discuss some of the changes (these are MINOR things folks - ...

Lots going on in today's podcast! I talk a bit about my perspective on politics - particularly the high-school popularity contest we call the American Election process. Thanks to Renny over at "Shhh!

Episode 113: Pass the BBQ Sauce Please!Well, I get to eat a little crow on this episode on the topic of Pagan Leadership. This came about from a discussion that I was having with John Beckett and David Pollard (CUUPS Podcast) at the North Texas Pagan Pride Day on the aspect of Pagan community and Leadership. So, since I'm chewing down some cooked crow, I figured I'd ask for some BBQ sauce to help it go down. :) Plus, I discuss a bit of the fun at the event, where I got to hang out with the aforementioned ...

Episode 112: Going Forward on Pagan LeadershipWith the recent passing of Isaac Bonewits, I thought it would be an appropriate time to explore a listener question that has been in the Email queue for close to seven weeks: "What do you think of the aging (and passing on) of the current Pagan leadership?" The question has always been one I have been reticent to tackle, especially since I don't view myself as being any form of "leader" within the community - despite the commentary I've gotten from listeners over the last four-a ...

Episode 110: Thoughts on the Concepts of CommunityLet's talk about community again -- except let's widen it out to a larger perspective. Inspired by some of the commentary in DruidCast Episode 40, I thought I would take a step back to the beginnings of this podcast and explore some of the conceptual aspects of community. Also for those of you in or near the DFW area, remember that the North Texas Pagan Pride Day is coming up (www.dfwppd.org) - and I plan to be there in whatever capacity...as a volunteer or just as a guest roami ...
