Samhain: Dinner with the Dead

Welcome back to Anonymous Crone!We are entering a time of darkness. A time of endings. A time of rest. A time of transformation. And a time when one particular old lady comes into her own. Tonight, we're meeting the Cailleach.We'll look at her relationship with the changing seasons, her connections to Brigid, and the symbolism of the Crone.Why does our culture celebrate youth, beauty, and fertility while treating age, wisdom, and experience as though they're something to apologize for? The Cailleach may have something to say about that!

What's this? A bonus episode for Samhain! For all of you that listened to the Samhain episode, #26, and caught the weird little thing at the end, you are very observant!...for the love of all things sacred, never follow a mysterious voice into the cellar without telling someone where you're going.Enjoy!!!!!

Welcome back to Anonymous Crone!As the wheel turns toward the darkest season, we gather once more at the threshold—where pumpkins gleam, spirits wander, and magic breathes. Tonight, we sink into the marrow of Samhain!Remember that even in the darkest season, love leaves a light behind, and the stories of those who came before us never truly stop whispering.

Welcome back to Anonymous Crone!Tonight we are talking about the Witch Trials from the 15th-17th centuries. Yes, we’re talking about Salem. But Salem was only one chapter in a much larger, uglier history.We are remembering the people who died bearing the brand of Witch. We are honoring their lives and reclaiming the word Witch!Those of us who identify as witches today, are not required to inherit the guilt others attached to the word. We are not required to hide our spirituality to make others comfortable. And we are not required to pretend history was harmless in order to enjoy modern traditions.

Welcome back to Anonymous Crone!Tonight we're talking about Día de los Muertos. The Day of the Dead. Día de los Muertos is a complex celebration. Is it Catholic? Is it Pagan? Who is Mictecacihuatl? Who is La Catrina?The dead cannot tell their own stories anymore. We tell them. We carry them. We pass them down. And every time we say their name… they are present in some small way.Here is where you can find Lisa Hull and her Boo-Tique!The Darkside of Spring Bootique and Parnormal Emporium & Ghost Tourshttps://thedarksideofspring.com979-645-7797FACEBOOK

Welcome back to Anonymous Crone! Tonight's topic is Superstitions! Not every superstition has a pagan origin, BUT some do!I don't want you looking at superstition as merely silly old beliefs. I want you to see the fingerprints of our ancestors. Look at the horseshoe. Look at the salt. Look at the doorway. Look at the coin. Look at the candle. Look at the crossed fingers. Look at the piece of wood you just knocked on. And ask, "What are you still trying to tell me?"Maybe the answer is nothing. Maybe the tradition is simply tradition. Or maybe you've stumbled across a little piece of folk magic that survived because somebody, somewhere, refused to let it die.

Welcome back to Anonymous Crone!Today, we are talking about Tarot. But more specifically, we’re talking about intuitive Tarot reading.Tarot is not simply about memorizing seventy-eight cards. Sometimes the cards don't tell you what will happen—they show you what you're ready to see, and sometimes the most powerful magic is finally trusting yourself.Guest Spot informationWhere you can find Reverend Mary Hawk:https://www.facebook.com/DivinationTVhttps://www.facebook.com/correlliantvnetworkhttps://www.youtube.com/@divinationtvhttps://www.youtube.com/@MagickTv
