The Biophany; Nature's Musical Masterpiece

Some interesting facts about alligators this morning as I have a bloody mary with my breakfast... in honor of my memories down in New Orleans.  Have a great weekend, y'all! 

I saw the elusive, endangered Giant Gray Bat this week, and he was beautiful. Just some wistful thoughts on spirit animal Bat Medicine today, and a little story for you. 

Opening with a curse from the infamous Marie Laveau, I'll dive into some facts about some of nature's poison with those pretty little poison dart frogs and fire ants. I threw the curse story in, because I thought of it as I was talking about fire ants. Down in New Orleans, there is a lot of hoodoo  witchery that involves the use of fire ant mounds while casting hexes. 
So grab a drink, preferably not a toxic one... maybe a daiquiri?  and enjoy the show! :) 

Strange, epiphany inspired ramblings drenched in hints of the Law of Attraction and the like. Logic, Realism and Science have their place, and they are needed and respected. But Intuitive, abstract thinking and imagination also holds a great power; that of the Divine. And together, they keep us moving forward. This episode is going to focus on the latter; I'm throwing reality right out the window on this one. Welcome to my world. 

I've always had some sort of morbid affection for all things dark, mysterious and strange. These mystical creatures have represented the dark side of nature for centuries... with grace and beauty. A romanticized sort of darkness. Something to ponder on a Friday morning... 

Physically striking, musically talented and brazen, the Cardinal is a bird of high esteem in the wilderness. Follow its lead as it guides the way to inherent greatness! 

Our brains; powerful, highly evolved cosmic computers, sending electricity through our entire bodies and sending our vibrations into a spin! We can attract anything we want. And we can do it through our intuition, which is involved in an eternal affair with science. 

We constantly borrow ideas from the designers of the wild; insects and animals alike. They're fascinating- from bees to beavers, these creatures put as much care into their craft as we do. Just musing a little bit on the architecture and the designs of the natural world this morning.. it always gives me a little inspiration for my own projects, like building planters on the sides of trees and houses and barns.. akin to little hives. Or food storage below the water.. the way the beavers do it. Come have a listen, and maybe get some spring project ideas!  

And for those fans of my sisters' band, Tuatha Dea, don't forget they're having another live Pub Crawl online this Sunday at 3pm :) 

Motivation; we all need it. An inner voice; we all have it. This is an episode about listening to your body, paying attention to what you need, and not becoming enslaved to anyone else's ideas in regards to you and what your body is asking for. 
When is it going to be time for you to start caring about YOU just as much as you care about the ones you love?

I've wanted talk about this one for a long time, but it's a tricky subject. Guess what. I'm talking about it this week anyway.
I have personal experience with the therapeutic use of LSD, and I'll talk about that as well. Psychedelics are not demons. Everything in your life has a duel nature; light and dark, good and bad. Medicines that help us can also be toxic to us. So can anything else. Join me today, as I venture to talk about my own experiences and opinions on the subject. Plus a little true story at the beginning that sounds like something out of a movie. 

Welcome to my show!
