Thinking About Deism

Deism as an encompassing thought and philosophy had a major influence over those we in American call our Founding Fathers. Thus the shape of our Constitution is very much a product of Deism.　But what's the connection between Deism and Paganism? Well, in the Eighteenth Century many Deists spoke of a Creator God, or The God of Nature. They connected to the Devine through Rational Thought Processes, and by connecting with Nature.　Clearly the Deists of 1775 would scoff at the Pagans of today. But…See More

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

This week we talk about The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.　The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was formally establihed on March 1, 1888. It's had a tremendous influence on Western Occult thought over the past century. Indeed, it's easy to say that without the Golden Dawn, Wicca - and therefore the whole Pagan revival - might never have seen the light of day.　It's really too bad that today in Greece there is a neo-fascist group calling themselves Golden Dawn. So, I think for that reason…See More

Tales Told Out of School; Urban Myths

The Urban Myth is the subject of this week's show.　Why do we tell eachother such stories? They're always so extreme and fantastic that, really, the rational mind knows they can't be true. But not only do we tell them anyway; we, in fact listen to them as well. Maybe these fantastic set of circumstances just might be real afterall!　The Urban myth has alot in common with traditional myths and folklore, in the way they satisfy a need for storytelling. It may be that the Urban Myth expresses a…See More

Valentine's Day will be here on the 14th. Let's pass a couple love notes!　Some people believe that the Ancient Roman holiday of the Lupercalia was the forerunner to Valentine's Day. That's not actually true, but there are some associations so we'll take a look at what the Lupcalia was all about.　Then we'll talk a bit about the Christian St. Valentine - or ValentineS, plural. There was actually more than one Valentine - but were they all lovers??　Which brings us to Romantic Love - as old as the…See More

February; Fire and Ice

They say that February was made the shortest month because everybody wants it to be OVER WITH from the start!　February is one of the most primordial months. It's all about extremes. And, like the sabbat Imbolc, it's just as much about Fire as it is about Ice.　Fire and Ice are the Primordial elements that, in the Norse Tradition that formed to create our world. So this is a good time to think a bit about the Nordic Tradition; just what is and what it means.　The Heathens tell us that Polarities…See More

A Celebration for Imbolc

Welcome to our celebration of Imbolc.　We're at the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Perfectly natural to want to jump up and down and start acting like Spring is Here! Folly, pure folly! Watch out if the weather is fine on Imbolc - you might find yourself shoveling the driveway on Eostara!　But before that, let's take some time to honor the Goddess Brigid, the Triple Goddess of Poetry, Healing and Smithcrafting.　And we'll enjoy some Tres Leches cake as well!Be well!…See More

Happiness!

Are you among the Shiny Happy People? Or does the thought make you fear that you could be labled a fuzzy bunny Wiccan? Perhaps you are genuinely happy with your Dark Magicks!　Happiness is amorphous. It's hard to define, and sometimes it's hard to know if we really have it. But when we DO have happiness in our lives it truly is a Shiny thing.　So this week we're going to look at just what is meant by "happines", and we'll look at it from different perspectives - religious, or spiritual;…See More

All Along the Watchtowers

This week we Welcome The Guardians of the Watchtowers.　e on The Spiral DanceWe've all done it; we've created Sacred Space by calling the Spirits of the Four Directions. We stand at each direction and draw the appropriate pentagram and we Invoke the Spirits that have the appropriate character.　But where does all that mumbo jumbo come from? Some say Gerald Gardner, which is correct to a point. Others say that Witches have been doing that on their own and in secret, like, forever - which is really…See More

The Philosopher's Stone

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we're talking about the Philosopher's Stone.　Just what IS the Philosopher's Stone? Where does it come from? Is it even a Stone?　This question has been bothering people for generations. Some people just give up and say it's just a lot of poetic rhetoric. Others say, "No, look! I've done it! I've got it right here!"　Some say it's all Devilry! Others say it's all God stuff. Well, you can choose as we try to sort it all out.Be well! Do good! Enjoy the show.Some…See More

Transition and Transcend

Happy New Year, everyone!　The January Moon is known as the Cold Moon and the Wolf Moon. It is a time when shedding and cleansing takes place, the old year is released and the energy of the New Year is beginning. This is a time for letting go from the past and starting anew.　So this week, here on the Spiral Dance, let's work together to make this New Years Transition work so that we could Transcend toward our goals for 2019.Be well! Do good! Enjoy the show.Some of the music you'll hear on this…See More

Living the Dark

This week let's celebrate the Dark of the Year.　We all know it's rediculous to be afraid of the Dark, but cultural associations with Darkness remain strong, and it seems almost natural to be uncomfortable with this time of the year..　So, we'll talk about the gifts that this time of the year bring us - such as much needed rest! And much needed introspection as well.　And we'll take a look at the Dark Side of Your Moon. You know when the Dark of your Moon is showing up whenever you find yourself…See More

The Winter Moons

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate the Full Moons of Winter.　All the full moons have names, as you know. But during the Winter, the Dark time of the year the moon has an ever stronger effect on us.　Each of the Full Moons of December, January, February and March have different qualities. So we'll take a look at each moon's quality.　This year's December full moon is on Saturday, the 22nd, the day after Yule! It will be the longest Full Moon of the year, appearing full for three days…See More

Eldering

I once thought I was going to Live Hard and Die Young. That didn't work out! Maybe I didn't live hard enough, I don't know. But here I am, looking back at everything.So, now what? Well, first thing, of course I DEMAND RESPECT!But, Eldering isn't really something you are; it's something you DO. The idea around Eldering is how older people can relate and function in the world. But in order to do that at all, there has to be some understanding of how their society looks at them, and chooses to…See More
