4th of July; Freedom to be Pagan
For this weeks show, we honor America’s Independence Day – July 4th. Ya; this ain’t no Christian country. Democracy was invented by the ancient Greeks. The ancient Greeks were Pagan. Therefore, Democracy is a Pagan institution. I want to share with you a ritual you can do to help ensure Religious Freedom - whether it’s just for yourself, or for your community, or even for the whole world. Plus some Pagan writers have suggested that we can invoke the Founding Fathers to provide prot...

Pagan Pops for Fathers Day
We in the U.S. have just celebrated Fathers Day. Some characterize Fathers Day, and Mothers Day as “Hallmark Holidays” – holidays that don’t have a whole lot of significance and were actually invented by the greeting card industry. Be that as it may, in an increasingly complex society such as ours, Parenting has become a very big issue. And Fatherhood is ever more controversial. Zackery Fisk joins us this week to talk about Pagan Fathering. Zack has been with us before as a foundi...

Stayin' Up for Mid Summer
This week on The Spiral Dance, we celebrate the Midsummer Sabbat. Summer Solstice occurs on Sunday, June 21. It was right around this time of the year back around 1995 when I was first introduced to the Pagan Path. I thought, at the time, that it was a little strange to refer to the Summer Solstice as “midsummer”, when, by our calendar the solstice marks the first day of summer. I’ve come to learn that the ancient Celtic peoples only saw the year as having two seasons: Summer and Winter...

OH GOSH DARN IT! There is a gap of about a minute during the middle of the show. As they said on the old TV show, “Do not try to adjust your set. We are in complete control” … except when we’re not! Just let your player roll through that minute. Sorry! So, anyway … You may well be attending a wedding this month, or you yourself may be getting married. June has become the traditional time for weddings in our culture, so this week on The Spiral Dance, we’ll talk about the June ...

A Primal Scream (of Sorts)
This week on The Spiral Dance we get down to the Primal Scream of Religion! By that, I mean that we’ll look at the roots that lay at the base of religion. Where did the religious impulse come from? We’ll take a look at what may be the world’s oldest known Ritual; when and where it was practiced, and what historians believe humans were worshipping there. Then we’ll explore the relationship between religion and organized dance. And from there, we’ll look at Mystery Cults. And final...

Aquarius, the Goddess and Astrological Ages
Well, this MIGHT be the dawning of the Age of Aquarius – or it might have occurred centuries ago – or maybe centuries from now. This week on The Spiral Dance we explore the whole question of Astrological Ages. What are they, and how do they affect us as Pagans? If the concept of Astrological Ages is true does it then make our interest in the reawakening Goddess legitimate or maybe not? I’ll share some ideas of my own along these lines, and I want to invite you to email your own opinion...

Interview with Richard Kaczynski;"A Weiser Consice Guide to Aleister Crowley"
Dr. Richard Kaczynski joins us this week by way of a pre-recorded interview to discuss his new book, “The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley”. To this day Aleister Crowley remains one of the most controversial figures in the history of modern occult. Although feared, reviled and widely misunderstood by many, those who learn the teachings of Frater Perdurabo come to see him as truly one of the great geniuses of Western Mysticism. In “The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowl...

April, Air&Aphrodite
I’m dedicating this week’s show to one of the Five Cardinal Elements, the Element of Air. It’s a good topic for April because, by many traditions, Air is associated with Springtime and Day’s Beginning. Usually associated with Men’s Mysteries, Air is most often thought of as on the Mental Plane. On the Witch’s Pyramid, the expression of Air is “To Know”. So, Air has many occult facets. And on this week’s show we’ll be sharing some ideas about Incantations and Power Songs....

April; Trickster and Fool
In honor of April Fools Day, our theme this week is: The Trickster and Fool. The Fool and the Trickster are a universal constant in Folk Belief, just as the Goddess and the God are. Some histories say that April Fool’s Day may be related to the Roman spring festival of Hilaria, which celebrates the resurrection of the God, Attis. The Hilaria began on the Spring Equinox and lasted for about 10 days - approximately until the First of April. We’ll take a look at the history of April Fool’s ...

A Turn of Earth Mind
The Gaia Theory is one of the most startling scientific theories to emerge in recent years. The idea suggests that the largest living organism on Earth is Earth Herself. And it has become clear that the concept of Gaia has as many religious implications as scientific ones. I have some excerpts of an article by John Michael Gear which I want to share.

It’s also known to modern Pagans as a primary Cross Quarter Holiday, and Sacred to the Goddess Bridget. The Goddess Bridget is also known as Breed and Bride. But Her Gaelic pronunciation might more accurately be ‘BRAYJ” which means, “Power”. Bridget was the Great Mother Goddess of Ireland, one and the same as Dana,...

The figure central to the Wild Hunt is the hound, and it’s directly related to the Christian idea of Hounds from Hell. Among mortals, seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it. But, of course, there’s more to it than that. The role of the Dog as Spiritual Messenger dates back about 5,000 y...

Pagan Musings and Such
What does it mean to be Pagan? How do we express our Pagan feelings to the world around us, and what does it mean to have a Pagan movement? In 1970 Welsh Pagan Tony Kelly wrote a treatise on this subject, called “the Pagan Movement”. It was published in the UK in The Waxing Moon magazine. Tony Kelly’s piece struck a chord with many people back then, and it still has life as it continues to be passed from hand to hand to this very day.
