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.

On episode 120, I talk a bit about how the outdoors is where I feel my most spiritual – even in the city. I also bring up an exciting event at Sacred Journey Fellowship in Garland, TX (part of the DFW area for those outside of Texas) with Phaedra Bonewits. More details are in the show and in the show notes. Musical feature is Explorer with “Shamans of the New World”. Lastly, I unveil one of my newer pieces of poetry. --- Musical feature: Explorer Website: http://uilennest.net/sounds/ ReverbNation: http://www.reverbnation.com/nicovermaas#! --- Sacred Journey Fellowship Event Phaedra Bonewits will be giving a presentation on the second weekend of April at Sacred Journey Fellowship in Garland Texas.

As many of you know, I write my own poetry and read quite a bit of it as well. This particular art-form also colors my own perception of the world around me. In this podcast episode, I talk a bit about how poetry provides a handhold of sorts in my everyday spiritual walk. My musical feature for the show is the incredible Paul C. Newman, whose album “Passing Fayre” is one of the most lyrically stunning works I have heard in years! In my opinion, this is an album you should purchase as soon as possible, and place into heavy rotation in whatever music player you utilize! Hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to a new year!! In this first show, I talk a bit about why so long between the last show and this first one for the year. Then, we dive into the topic at hand -- re-energizing your own personal rituals. I use the example of my own daily ritual that comes through my walking and how I go about keeping it from becoming a mechanical process. The musical feature for the show is Emerlad Rose's "The Hills of America". If you like the music, be sure to buy it at the link listed below! Support your favorite artists!! Finally, the return of the Spoken Word segment as well. I read my own poem: "Of Cotton-balls and Waterfalls".
Slainte!

I wanted to talk about a bit of what's been going on in my life. Lots of new, interesting and exciting things taking place. I also wanted to take some time and do the very last look at the news and politics for the show. This is an arena I won't likely be covering again in the future. There are many other podcasts that do this, and quite a few of them do it far better than I do. I also discuss some of the changes (these are MINOR things folks -- nothing huge changing, other than the dropping of the news/politics segment) taking place in the podcast. I also set the next two show topics: (1) Keeping My Beliefs From Becoming a Mechanical Process and (2) Life as a Series of Poetic Moments. Lastly, I wanted to thank all of you who have listened to the show over the past five (nearly!) years. I do appreciate all the time that you've spent listening to me and all the comments you've given me. I look forward to continuing on with the show for another five-plus years...or more. :) Slainte! --- Podcasts Mentioned Shhh!
