In this episode, we introduce a new segment and talk about myths that need a little sprinkle of debunking dust. Music by Jennifer Cutting, Gaia Consort and Kenny Klein.

Next episode, we’ll talk about witchy gardening. Have something to contribute? Send it in!

Onyx, because I was a sexist dolt, I played one of your favourite songs. :)

SKUNK!

Wren (our gray cat) tangled with a skunk, and transferred the spray to her kittens. Thankfully, no one else stinks, but that means I had to bathe THREE cats in 1) vinegar and baking soda, 2) tomato paste, and 3) dish soap.

THREE CATS.

Okay, so two of them are little, but Wren? She’s strong. And she hates me right now.  Which is okay, really because I did the unthinkable, and actually put her into water, scrubbed her and rinsed her with three different concoctions THREE times, and then rubbed lavender oil into my hands, and into her fur.  Poor thing…

What really sucks is we took pictures….or thought we did…but the card wasn’t in the camera at the time, so I can’t show you just how hilarious a cat looks when it’s covered in tomato paste and looking like it would like to eat your face.

Meanwhile, I have fresh coffee grounds (dry, unused) in a saucer in every room in the house, and vinegar with cinnamon in it boiling on the stove. I also have a pan of coffee grounds and cinnamon in the oven.  The house is starting to smell okay again. Or maybe I’ve just gotten used to the smell of skunk rank.

Those expecting a podcast? Forget it. I’ve been up since five thirty fumigating the house and bathing cats. I’m going back to bed.  I’ll be back next Saturday with a show on debunking myths that circulate within the pagan community.

Gah!

Welcome to our Beltaine episode, in which we discuss, among other things, celebrating Beltaine as a solitary, single pagan, sexual revelry, pagan predators, and a response to TommyElf and his take on invocation.

Yes, this show was all over the map!

As some of you know, it’s been a very rough week for the Darkly Clan. I’m sorry for the delay, but family has to come first. We’re getting through it in fine style, as is our usual way! Thanks for your well wishes and prayers as we move through this transition period.

In this episode (number nine!) we talk about the importance of having some basic foundational daily practices that include listening practices, talking practices, and celebratory practices. A few examples are given. The book “Evolutionary Witchcraft” by T. Thorn Coyle comes up and is recommended. We listen to Gaia Consort and Wendy Rule.

Please feel free to ask your questions here and we’ll see if we can’t bang out a set of foundational practices that work for you.

For those beginners who want a list of great books, please visit North Star Coven’s website. They have a great reading list. It is especially geared to those interested in Wicca, but I feel that the books listed are foundational reading. Once you have them under your belt, you can read just about anything, and apply critical thinking to whatever it is you’re taking in.

In this episode, I go on and on about various things, including Dragon Ritual Drummers, Spirits of the Earth Festival, and feedback from Onyx about my last show.

It’s short! Very short! I had a very busy week, what with finishing up some homework, parenting, working, and … uh … going all long and rambly and lupine over the phone with a certain Elven character that y’all might know. (Hey, Tommy! Arrroooooo!)

Next week, we’re back with a regular episode including our introductory shout outs and responses to feedback, our main topic, which will be a discussion (rant?) about so-called Witch Schools, and our paganism 101 segment.

Music by Beltana
