Okay, most of the shouting is over, and now we have the next set of terms, hours 3 and 4 in our marathon show recording.
You all have been kept abreast of the situation I have been going through, and I just wanted to thank you all for your patience.
So here’s the next episode.
What is a Druid?
Ask an hundred, you’ll get two hundred answers—so says an old adage. What the term “Druid” means, really depends on the person answering the question.
As happens in every life, sometimes one thing must take precedence over another, and Joy and I have come to the conclusion that we’re in need of a hiatus, while Joy addresses more-pressing concerns than the podcast.
As I understand it, from her e-mail, she’ll be editing the two remaining parts of the “Terms” series, and posting them over the next couple of months.
If you have some spare cash handy, Joy could use a hand-up, not simply to cover the cost of the website and other related costs (which I’m prepared to donate to assist with), but to address some of her own financial issues.
I know that Brian and I have mentioned in multiple shows that thrifting for your altar decorations and tools is one way to go.
It’s nice to have several thousand dollars of tools that are exactly what you want, but I went out over the past two days just looking around in the various local thrift shops, and if I found something that I think could make good altar decorations or working tools, I took a picture of it, and now I’m sharing them all with you.
I’ll make comments on them as I come to the photo.
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.
Well, in this episode we talk about terminology that may be confusing to those in the pagan community who haven’t heard them yet. So here’s part 1, one third of the list.
There’s a bunch of terms we talk about, but Joy had a list and it was destroyed maliciously by a foe.
Look at the general post on here for an explanation and update on everything.
Admittedly, I have a fondness for both the harp and the tune, “Into the West,” and am always on the lookout for a beautiful combination of the two…
I’ve mentioned my website many times while on the podcast, and I wanted to add those resources here so you can understand what I mention.

Joy and I wanna invite our listeners to drop us a line on Tumblr (wide-worlds-joy, or cosmic-rebirth), or hit us up in an email (joy@magicalmusings.net, brian@magicalmusings.net), and ask questions, because if we have enough to go for it, we’ll do a Question-and-Answer show for your edu-tainment. Hit us up with questions relevant to your pagan practice, or interest in it, and we’ll do our best to answer them for you in an upcoming show.
A follower on my blog once asked:
Don’t you think that inclusivity and making-space for other people (social politics) have a place in paganism? I often find that there is not enough of this intersectionality.
Truth be told, I’m not a supporter of mandatory and unconditional inclusiveness. My answer to her was:
