In this episode, we’ll talk about the difference between exoteric (commonplace, simple, popular) and esoteric (for the few, inner, initiatory, enigmatic) spirituality. We’ll explore the idea that esoteric spirituality is not for everyone, and explore ways that those who desire a less demanding and complex spirituality can have a more exoteric kind of paganism than is offered by the more esoteric initiatory paths.

In this episode, our main topic will be Armchair Paganism. Some suggestions are offered for getting out of the habit many of us solitaries have of thinking about it and reading about it, but not doing anything about it. 

We will review the book The Pagan Christ by Tom Harpur, and talk about the herb, basil. 

There will be a brief Paganism 101 Segment, and we will pull a card before we finish up. 

Our musical interludes feature Wendy Rule and Gaia Consort.  We’ll leave you at the end of the show with The Bell by Threefold. Full show notes with links and further information is available at http://darklyfey.com

There are so many wonderful pagan podcasts out there, so I thought I’d post a list (along with their ‘vote’ links for Podcast Alley). I stole the idea from Jeva of Lance and Graal (where are you guys??!!) who haven’t done a new show in quite some time now. They have a great list of everyone out there, but it’s not up to date (because you guys! where ARE you guys??). The list I posted here isn’t complete by any stretch of the imagination. I am hoping to build on it in my travels. If you know of something I’ve missed, please drop me a line? I’d love to take a listen.

Meanwhile, here’s my list of UBER WONDERFUL PAGAN PODCASTS. If you want to vote for these wonderful pagan podcasts, and you’re not already a member of Podcast Alley, all it takes is an e-mail address and you can show your love for the podcasters who do it for ya!

Hey! I finally managed to figure it all out, and here I am with my very first podcast!

Looky! We have Show Notes!

The Very First Episode will include an introduction to the show, and your hostess, Darklyfey.  We’ll also be talking a little bit about modern pagan practice and the accumulation of stuff.  Some things to think about as you listen: Is the ‘stuff’ we acquire and feel we need to practice our pagan path really necessary? Is the accumulation of yet more ‘stuff’ in our lives a contradiction to those things we might profess as pagans?  There's a challenge to stop shopping for a period of three months.  You game? Check out the blog!

In tarot segment, we’ll pull a card and talk about what it means.  In our book segment, we’ll talk a little bit about The Way of the Green Witch, which fits in nicely with our main topic. 

We’ll enjoy music by Dust Rhinos, a band out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and a pretty song by Tigertail called Celtic Mystic
 
Shout outs go to Deo's Shadow, the show that first inspired me to do this in the first place, and The Wigglian Way, who have me saying, to no one in particular, and on a regular basis - Thanks for walking....The Wigglian Way!

I'm also indebted to music.podshow.com for the service they provide to little ol' podcasters like me.
