News about Joy,
10 Jun 2015 in Articles
Long time listeners will realize that I have been kinda on the edge of disaster recently. First was the eviction from our home of 5 years due to finances and losing a job. We moved in with a roommate and things have gone progressively downhill.
I’m not going to go into all the sordid details of our stay there, just imagine the worst possible situation of financial and emotional abuse and you have what Mary and I were living through in the past 11 months. We tried to get out of there, but every time we got ahead we somehow got behind even more.

The Weather Spoon,
15 Apr 2015 in Articles
This is the text of “The Weather Spoon” written by Mary the Goddess of All Research. Please enjoy and comment if you like it.
Once, there was a magic wand that wasn’t.
The witch who created it loved air and water. She adored all kinds of water and air, every sort of weather. It was her special magic.
She loved to cook too because she didn’t make a magic wand, she made a weather spoon!
Now as we all know, every witch goes to school to learn. The final test, before she is given her diploma of witchery is to make her very own magic wand.

More Paganism at work,
19 Mar 2015 in Articles
These are some pictures I took at various times back like 15 years ago of my work areas that displayed my paganism and Wiccan self for all to see, while not being blatant in someone’s faces. Enjoy.
This was my work space. You can note that I have the plant up in the upper right corner, and the holiday display on my desk at the lower right. The picture in the center is my daughter, and yes, at this point I smoked.
My plant, the pathos. This is an older version of the pictured plant. It’s dead now, but I loved it.

Kitsune Stress Bag,
15 Mar 2015 in Articles
Well, I mentioned this on Episode 20, taking your spirituality to work, and you may have heard it on the 21st episode. I made this and played with it on the air, much to my chagrin the audio picked up on it.
Anyhow, I thought you may like to see the finished product.

Upcoming Shows,
05 Jan 2015 in Articles
Okay, as it stands now, Brian and I will be recording the newest show on Monday the 12th. It will be a show on Religion in the Workplace. This is so that Brian has more time to research the Herbalism show.
We really REALLY want to get that one right. I’m not enough of an herbalist to correct on the fly, so I’m going to let Brian take care of all that and do the skull sweat on it.

Don’t draw it,
01 Jan 2015 in Articles
Had a situation on the New Year that I thought you might like to hear about.
Tl;dr, a friend of a friend was having problems with some spirits in her house. They were frightening her 3 year old.
Turns out, the spirits were there only because the mother thought they should be.
See, she *knew* something was wrong. She *knew* she was having problems with spirits. She *knew* her 3 year old was being bothered by those same spirits. So, +POOF+ the universe provided that for her.

Reality Check!,
20 Dec 2014 in Articles
IT’S A NEW EPISODE!!!!!
Just in time for Yule, you get an episode from Brian and Joy about getting a Reality Check. It discusses the people you would meet in the community and Paid Pagan Clergy debate. If you are driving, we advise pulling over when you get to about an Hour and 30 minutes in, there’s a segment there that gets really silly. Totally potty jokes at that point.
