Unmasking the Commercialized Occult
Are you ready to challenge the norms of modern-day spirituality? Today, we will peel back the layers of the 'buy, acquire, consume' mentality, and ponder its implications for the practices of craft, witchcraft, and paganism. Brace yourself for an exploration of how the essence of our traditions - making, growing, and gifting items for spiritual use - is being replaced by shallow, commercial interactions.
The maze of commodification extends into the realm of occult book publishing. Spiritual practices are often misrepresented in popular literature, seeming more focused on financial gain rather than providing readers with meaningful tools for spiritual growth.
As we conclude our journey, we mourn the diminishing focus on the religious aspects of our practices, replaced by a fascination with 'spells' and powers. We emphasize the importance of maintaining the integrity of our traditions and advocating for the preservation of the spiritual essence of our traditions.

If you've ever questioned the true value of money, you'll find our discussion on wealth and resources compelling. All of this and more in an episode that promises to redefine craftiness, family, and wealth.

#shorts Join us as we begin our discussion on not all old things are decrepit and not all new things are better. All generations have questioned the older ways and viewpoints. However, it should be noted that not all of the old ways and viewpoints are irrelevant. Do we get rid of older ways simply because they are older? We delve into the idea that by knowing and understanding the old ways, we can improve the future.
We continue our discussion by going into the world of cults. We define what a cult is before trying to answer the questions: Is Wicca a cult? Can it potentially be a cult?
We address some concerns people have about cults as well as giving some ideas of what to look out for. We also discuss could witches be dangerous where cults are concerned.
We hope this will be an enlightening discussion and that it will raise awareness.

#shorts Ever wondered if magic has the potential to modify reality physically? Could ritual objects or spiritual energy exposure imbue them with mystical properties? We unravel this complex topic, beginning with an exploration of magic's impact on reality. The focus is on whether objects like Excalibur and the Holy Grail become magical through belief or if they are imbued with power through rituals and spiritual energy. We also question how exposure to ritual objects and magical energies could alter one's reality perception. This discussion promises an insightful examination of whether our perceptions might be shaping our reality.
Transitioning from the mystical to the educational, our conversation leads us into another intriguing topic - the teaching of adults. Our discussion covers the concept of 'un-teaching' and how it could potentially deepen understanding. But tread carefully; venturing too deeply into the spiritual realm may have its psychological consequences, a critical dimension we examine in this segment. We delve into effective strategies for teaching adults. Here we stress the importance of facilitating self-exploration, enabling individuals to question their beliefs and, ultimately, change their minds. We wrap up by underscoring the necessity for engaging debates and focused conversations, the tools that help reveal logical flaws and prompt a deeper understanding of our world.
Commentary on the Wiccan Rede
Come with us on a journey as we explore the lines and rhymes the Wiccan Rede, written by Lady Gwen Thompson. We start our journey with a brief history of this famous document and how it relates or correlates to modern wicca. Then we proceed to breakdown the quatrains with a brief explanation of how we interpret each one. Hate it or love it, the real question is, are there bits of wisdom in this lovely poem from the 1960's. Different viewpoints can give more insight, and we hope our view provides a little bit of insight for you.
