The Spoken Word segment is back and leads off the show! I read the Blackfoot Tale "The Dog and the Stick" from George Bird Grinnell's "Blackfoot Lodge Tales: The Story of a Prairie People". I'm really into the Blackfoot Indians...so I wanted to share a little something. Following that is the musical feature for the show - Emerald Rose's "Hills of America" -- which I thought to be a little fitting considering that I will be heading into the northern Rockies in about a week. The topic...well...ya'll know how much I change things as time goes forward. This week's topic changed on the fly. I've been reading a lot of blogs lately -- and was seeing a trend in those posts. So, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it. I know that a lot of folks think the Pagan Community is going through a particular moment of maturation...and this is essentially my thoughts on part of that process. ----- I also talk a bit about the upcoming Pagan Pride Day here in DFW (YES!). October 5th out at White Rock Lake! The following fundraiser information was copied directly from the DFW Pagan Pride Day site at http://dfwpaganpride.org/ .

I’m back! Bet ya’ll thought I was dead!! ;)~ ----- On this show, I talk about my perception and ideals for a Pagan Community. I know that I’m just a single individual - and that my perceptions may be at odds with what other people may perceive of a Pagan Community…but I thought I would go ahead and toss this out there as my own personal opinion. There is no Spoken Word segment in this show, because I plan on a much longer Spoken Word segment in the next episode. I will be doing a reading of a Blackfoot Tale. I didn’t remember to mention this during the show - but I wanted to thank John Beckett (his Patheos blog “Under the Ancient Oaks” can be found at: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/ ) for showing me through his posts what a community oriented individual should be like. He’s quite the selfless leader - and I honestly believe he needs to be recognized for the hard work he puts into adding his vision to our collective voices. I also talk a bit about the upcoming Pagan Pride Day here in DFW (YES!). October 5th out at White Rock Lake!

On this episode, I discuss my desire to enter into the fray known as "event organizing" -- specifically the DFW Pagan Pride Day event. Since I've seen nothing and heard nothing about this year's event, I've decided to look into the possibility of putting some kind of an event together - even if its just a picnic where people can get together, talk and enjoy an afternoon. I'm hoping that my desire to step forward - even with the lousy skills I have as an organizer - will inspire others to step forward with me. --- I also talk a bit about the political spectrum, and why I don't pay much attention to it - along with some perspective on the podcast itself, and some information on a new direction that the podcast will hopefully move towards. --- Musical feature for the show is "The Cutty Wren" by Damh the Bard.

For today's podcast, I wanted to talk about why I don't like debating the concept of what is or isn't Paganism. I start off the show with a rant on politics, particularly on why I feel its not right to determine a person's "patriotism" in relation to their desire to participate (or not) in the election process. ----- Musical Feature: "Kiss Me Soft" by Wendy Rule.

Welcome to 2012...I'm a little late to the party though. :) In this particular episode, I talk about how Magick permeates every single moment of Life (at least from my perspective). Prior to that, I answer one of a flurry of Emails I have received over the past few months concerning the upcoming American Presidential election. I also discuss my pleasure at the rising number of Pagan podcasts in the Podosphere, as well as my perspective on why this is a great things for the Pagan community as a whole. Musical feature is Wendy Rule's song "Radiate" from her live album "Live at the Castle on the Hill". Wendy's music can be found through her website at http://www.wendyrule.com . Remember to support independent Pagan artists by purchasing their music!! The Spoken Word segment returns as well, with my poem "As Promised". --- Promos Played: Texan Heretics - http://texanheretics.blogspot.com/ DruidCast - http://http://druidcast.libsyn.com/ --- Email: elfster@gmail.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/From-the-Edge-of-the-Circle/116817775667 Blogspot: http://edgeofcircle.blogspot.com/ Skype: tommyelf22 GoogleTalk: elfster@gmail.com
