Join me as I talk about Syncretism in Japan as well as syncretism's relationship with the Neo-Pagan community. I went on a loooong road trip to Miyajima for the Firewalking Festival, not to mention Hiroshima. This episode is more Wandering Pagan segment than anything else. Also I answer a few listeners questions, as well as posing a couple of my own!
For those that asked about the herbal book I use, here's the link! Also below are the links to more information about Miyajima and Hiroshima

The books referenced are Raising Witches: Teaching the Wiccan Faith to Children by Ashleen O'Gaea and Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions by Starhawk, Diane Baker, and Anne Hill.

With Samhain coming up I designed this podcast to feature herbs and tarot cards that are related to this holiday's spirit. I speak on "Facing your fears and your past.", as well as how this relates to this episode's tarot card: The High Priestess. Today's herb/plant is the Ti Leaf. The referenced material for this episode is Tracy Porter's The Tarot Companion: An Essential Reference Guide

Lady Bless, Lamyka

This episode is the first expose of my interfaith segment, I sit down and talk with one of my Indonesian Muslim friends about all sorts of issues and topics, ranging from interfaith cooperation to little appreciated facts about Islam. Also featured, as is represent by the banner, is a special plea to the Pagan Community on behalf of Darla Wynne. Please check and look for more information at Exploring the Cauldron, and also at the Darla Wynne Fund Site for further information. This episode's a little heavier than normal but I feel it's worth it.

Jam packed (don't worry you'll get the pun later) with recipes as well as discussions, this episodes truly speaks to those already sitting on the couch. This podcast is quite different from my last one and definitly is a lot calmer. I talk about pagan books, new recipes, as well as my Cafepress Store. The main topic however is Pagan Holidays and their prescence (or lack thereof) on Calendars. Also, this week's featured herb is Marjoram.

Between deleting half an interview, deleting the ENTIRE podcast, and moving to a new place I seem to have contracted the craaaaazies! In this episode I go over the uses of Aloe as well as introducing a new herbalist term. Also I inserted a couple of recipes that I'm sure everyone out there is going to enjoy. This episode's Wandering Pagan segment talks about Japanese department stores. All Music by me, Enjoy~!

Paul joins us once again for the Wandering Pagan section to talk about autumnal foods of Japan. He shares with us different dishes that are simply divine~! I also go on to share some information about the Fool card in Tarot. Special thanks go out to Brian from Emerald Rose for letting me play "Pagan Girl". Music used: Pagan Girl by Emerald Rose, & Ode to Autumn by Me

The second podcast covers uses and descriptions of Kava. Also for the Wandering Pagan segment me and Paul travel to the Full Moon Mochi festival here in Japan. Paul also joins me later on to discuss today's main topic of Indigenous People's religions and the Neo-pagan community.
