Pagan Centered Podcast™

I loved the episode. I brought up a book to Ashlee by a writer called Mike Carey. He wrote a few comics that have had other kinish stuff, but he doesn’t use that term. In his “God Save the Queen” graphic novel, he had a girl who was part faerie. In his Felix Castor series he mentioned a term “Loup Garu.”(might have the spelling wrong) I think it is, basically the French term for were-”fill in blank”. Instead of a human that turns into a wolf or other animal, it’s an animal who inhabits a human body and tries to manipulate the human’s body to it’s original animal form. The mention of that term came up in his Felix Castor novel called “Vicious Circle.” Even in his “Luicfer” comic one of the characters was Arch Angel Michael’s offspring, she was Asian. Mike Carey has a way of writing about metaphysical things and making them sound totally plausible and not so crazy sounding.I know where Kina is coming from with the Otherkin thing. I was also told a while back about being Otherkin. I didn’t want to believe it. She didn’t use the term Otherkin, the lady told me I had faerie or elf in me. I thought she was crazy. I decided to read up on it, but like Kina said, I didn’t want to be those people. I have similarities, and the health issues, but I don’t want to be those people. I just explain all my health problems as, “I was made with used parts.”I talked to Amber a bit on this topic a while back, and she made me feel less crazy about it. She made me feel normal and I actually got some really good insight from it. It helped me realize why I would always get bored so easily and why I was always super depressed when I was away from nature.I don’t let whatever I might or might not be hinder my life. I’m still planning on going to school after I birth the next world leader, I’m still a workaholic, and can raise my child with no problem. Again, I can’t say it enough, I don’t want to be those people.

I agree, that “Humans are disgusting litle creatures.”

Kina, you rock! You’re totally awesome sauce and I wish I lived in England so I could chum with you.

I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask.The first one is, is it possible to have a family that all have some form of metaphysical ability? Like a family of psychic vampires, psychics or telekinetics? Would that be coincidence or something that can be passed down through the generations? I would like to think it might be genetic because how else would I explain to my finace why his mom’s side of the family, him included, either are psychic vampires or, in his mom’s case can read your mind; which is very beneficial when you’re crazing a certain type of food. She hasn’t failed us yet. My second question has to do with something I looked up on Incubi and Succubi when I read a post from someone who wanted to summon an Incubus to have sex with them. Sigh. Anyways upon research on why someone thought they could even control something like an Incubus, especially a newbie, I came across a website that had Biblical stories of Incubi and Succubi. It mentioned stories of them breeding with humans and how it could be possible. I also ran into some other sites that mentioned how a succbus or incubus could possibly breed. It had to do with they steal a human’s eggs or sperm and us it on the next. There was one site that said there is an understanding, if you will, that demons aren’t allowed to either posses a human or copulate with them unless god gives the ok.My question is: Do you think that they work that closely together? After thinking about that I started to think wouldn’t it be great that the Satan all the Christians are afraid of is really God? That these demons are just doing all of His dirty work?

Thanks for indulging my crazy theories and questions,

Episode 96 was very interesting. On one hand I can understand your point about it really not being of any importance that Deo and Mandy have embarked upon the path of Atheism. On the other hand I understand the bereft feelings of some within the pagan community. I felt that they represented a sound, balanced, and mature approach to Paganism with a healthy dose of scholarship, understanding, and skepticism. They were informative but approachable, something that tends to be hard to come by on the internet. I guess it also seemed odd to me that they would jump ship considering all of the experiences they’ve had. Alas, it is not for me to understand the workings of their minds and they definitely filled a niche. It was great while it lasted and they will be missed. I think you guys are carrying the torch nicely indeed and hope that you’ll stick with us (the “pagan community” in all it’s fucked-up-titude) for the long run. Cheers!

Hey guys this is something we think you’ll find extremely funny the other day we found out that the Pope actually deemed coffee a christian beverage we think this is reason enough to give up coffee. we hope you find this random fact as funny as we did.

u guys should totally do a show about isreal regardi!!! i luv u clark! and sam! and amber!

Another two fantastic episodes (97-98), though I must be honest with you. I used you guys. I used you guys, like a green party candidate during his midlife crisis uses an innocent Sierra Club canvasser, to further my own agenda. You all provided thought provoking and informative discussion on (Polytheist) Reconstructionists and I was hoping you’d help dispel some of the myths and accusations I’ve seen hurled at us on a few pagan forums and social networks.Great dialogue and kudos for bringing Nickon to flesh out the experience.Cheers!

P.S.- My boyfriend IS one of those stereotypical Asatru with the shaved head and death metal. I played the clip back for him and he died laughing.
