In the Weedz

S3E02 Medusa & Breaking the Spell (w/ Special Guest H. Dean Fisher)

Mythology & Politics
 
We were delighted to sit down again with local author & professor H. Dean Fisher in what we think is likely one of our best episodes ever. (Definitely our longest conversation that we didn't want to end!) We discussed mythology & its impact on society, current events and politics.
Will it take a Solve et coagula event to break the spell or will we as a society snap out of it before the convoy of destruction takes us all down with it...  Time will Tell.

S3E01 Starseeds, Indigo Children and other nonsense...

We discussed on our premiere episode of season three... the concepts of starseeds, indigo children and other assorted bits of absolute nonsense.  This nonsense includes the racial overtones and ridiculous assertions of exceptionalism contained therein. 
To be a good and decent person, a productive member of society and most of all to be true to one's self.. therein lies a princple secret of esoterica and of actual growth.

S2E39 Cheat Code... it's not left or right. It's up & down.

On this episode, our season finale; we discussed the apparent cheat code revealed by recent events... (as if most of us didn't already know!) - the 'secret' is that the issue is NOT a left or right one... rather it is UP and DOWN.
The war on the middle class and the marginalized has been going on for generations but it seems to have become exceptionally pronounced of late.
The recent event in Manhatten seems to have brought more attention to the robber barons that have been exploiting and destroying lives on their way to the 1% club... 
Hope you enjoy and see you in January for the start of Season 3 of In the Weedz.

S2E38 Get out of the house!

On this episode we touched on a few topics ranging from the recent incident with the three thieves stealing money from the ancestor altar intended for donations to our local food pantry as well as the current clown car of idiocy on full display for everyone.
We also discussed that now is not the time to hide in your house with the proverbial head-in-the-sand approach - now is the time more than ever to be active, outspoken and defiant against the influx of morbid stupidity.
We even had a brief chat on the best herbal approaches to combat the seasonal flu and cold season.
Little bit of everything including more than one boof from Bella...
 
Have a great week everyone!

S2E37 First Medicine

On this episode we discussed a number of topics based primarily on herbalism.  This was a truncated version of a soon-to-come series of episodes on Herbalism available on our Patreon.
 
None of this episode was intended as medical advice.  Always consult your physician or licensed medical provider prior to undertaking any supplement / regimen.
 
We covered the importance of taking this seriously and not treating herbalism like the latest cottage core fad.  It is after all... first medicine. We also gave a quick shout-out to our favorite local apiary "Old Man John's" not only for their incredible honey but for their herbal infused honey products... 
 
We hope you enjoy.

S2E36 The Dog that Caught the Car

On this episode we discussed the reality of the proverbial dog that caught the car in reference to the recent election and the current and soon to be coming state of affairs.
Now is not the time to be fearful or clutching pearls... it's time to pull our cloaks up and go to work. 
We also discussed a few things ranging from etiquette to developing a relationship with spirit.  Times of darkness do not have to equal despair - especially when the despair is being spread or attempted to by a gaggle of idiots in a clown car.

S2E35 Vote like your life depends on it (It Does)

On this episode we talked about a few things regarding safety in local Pagan communities.  There are predatory people in all communities and unfortunately our Pagan community is no exception.  What to look for and what to do... look out for others and yourself.
We also discussed the vital importance of voting this year considering the overarching theme of fascist ideologies being pushed.  It is up to us all to keep our community free and safe.  This is not the time to be on the fence or to sit it out on the sidelines.  Get up, Get out and Vote.

S2E34 Hail the Traveler

On this episode, we discussed the upcoming election as well the fact that we are mourning a dear friend and colleague who passed suddenly a couple of days ago.
Was it the current standard of corporate culture (overworked, overutilized, and underappreciated) or something else... we don't know.  But the go-go-go-go mentality, the metrics-driven non-people-centric approach to deliverables needs some course changing... as it certainly did not help.
We will be sending up smoke for our friend this Samhain and we will always remember you for the charismatic, hilarious, and consummate professional you always were regardless of the situation.
As he would say - that's the job.
 
Hail the Traveler.
