Stirring the Cauldron

There is a 104 year gap between Charles Dickens' book A Christmas Carol published in 1843, and Jimmy Stewart's  movie It's A Wonderful Life which came out in 1947 but both are classics and watched or read when Christmas comes around. You might think that the stories would have nothing in common, but think again. We had a nice chat with Charles Dickens and Jimmy Stewart and they had lots to say.

It's that time of year to be giving thanks.  I'm giving thanks to the listeners and the guests that stir the cauldron with me every week.

This week's Master Class taught by Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue.   Sean discusses insights from herbalism, ecology, neurobiology, psychology, Irish history, and magical tradition to show how to tap into the flow of communication from the wild world. Braiding together insights from herbalism, ecology, neurobiology, psychology, Irish history, and magical tradition, he eplains how we can tap into the flow of communication from the wild world and our ancestral traditions to transform our lives, culture, and worlds.  He explained what it means to develop a relationship with a plant and how to work with their medicines for healing and magic that helps us to reconnect body and spirit with the living world around us.

Megan Mary believes that the symbolic imagery in our dream is a key, once unlocked we can tap into our own innate transformative power, evolve our consciousness and ultimately discover our life purpose. There was lots to learn about all types of dreams like Visitation Dreams and nightmares in this episode, so put down your Dream Dictionary and find out how to get a better understanding of the meaning and interpretation of your dreams. We also got an introduction to her wonderful new book, just released, The Dream Haunters: A Metaphysical Mystery of Magick (Witches of Maple Hollow Book 1. 

Legend has it that if you find a rock with a white line all around it, you have found a Wishing Stone and If you trace your finger around the line while closing your eyes and making a wish, then put it back into nature for another person to find or give it to someone, your wish will come true. There isn't a great deal of history, lore or origin known about Wishing Stones, so when in doubt, I call upon an expert to help me out, and my favorite go to stone and crystal wizard is Nicholas Pearson. He unearthed some very interesting facts about the stones and we also touched upon how they work from a metaphysical point of view and so much more. 

Our ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, correlating these rhythms with weather, plant growth, and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars, astronomy, and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune-telling, Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science, specifically a form of systems science--a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self-organizing systems. Presenting a broad look at how the cosmic environment shapes nature, we talked about how the practice and natural science of astrology can expand its applications in modern society in such varied fields as medicine, history, and sociology.  Bruce shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth’s rotation, the Sun, the Moon, and the rhythms of light, gravity, magnetism, and solar radiation on terrestrial processes, and the early practice of astrometeorology, a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time. He shares his own studies on the correlations between Saturn’s position and terrestrial weather as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them. 

It was a double header tonight with two professors  at the podium.  Barry Fitzgerald took the first half of the class covering Project Doorway and Steve took the second half covering the UITC course.  The topic focuses on studying UFO/UAP encounters and their connection to cryptid sightings and other paranormal events originating in geomagnetic regions. Steve picks it up and talks about the  connections between UAP ​sightings, geological locations, geophysical anomalies, and paranormal phenomena ​through our cutting-edge research conducted within the UFO investigators Training Course (UITC).

Joseph Stewart says that demons are real; they roam our world looking for opportunities to heap destruction upon us. They are ruled by blind hatred toward humanity, and they don't discriminate. Man, woman, or child—all are fair game. Journey into the realm of these horrific creatures with a real demon hunter to see the intense carnage unleashed on an unsuspecting public. On tonight's show, he talks about how prevalent demons are in our society outside religious persuasion, consider relevant and new research, and  what these parasites are and what they do, understand their makeup and behaviors, and how to get rid of them should you become afflicted.  Against all odds, the Joseph survived to tell his story. Consider this a warning

Over the years, Shaman Willie Windwalker has been called to do house clearings and paranormal investigations, but he also has  had performed exorcisms as well.  Tonight he shared some of his worst encounters with demons  when called upon, but of all the the demons he was up against, you'll get the shivers when he telks about the demon who attached himself to Willie and tried very hard to kill his wife. .
