• Better than TV

  I’ve been enjoying my foray into the Pagan/Heathen/Witchy/Occult/Whatever Podcasting Community.
  Everyone is very nice and helps each other out. Good job folks! *pats backs*

  I adore podcasts, they are much better than watching Oprah for sure! hehehe

  Here’s a few of my favorites:
  The Wigglian Way
  Ravencast
  New World Witchery
  The Magical Earth

  Elemental Castings
  Druidcast
  Hedge Folk Tales
  Celtic Myth Podshow
  SpiritsCast

  Whew, that’s plenty for one blog post. Now go turn off Dr. Phil and start downloading!

• Instinct vs Research

  “This is what happens when you dabble! You can’t practice the Craft while you are looking down your nose at it.” ~ The Aunts from Practical Magic
  So why do I have to do all this required reading and research? Isn’t that work? Its so time consuming and the books are hard to read! Why can’t we simply practice solely based upon our instincts and natural talents?
