Finally we have a special guest, Pete AI, an artificial voice clone of your host to discuss who is the Goddess of A.I.?

Gods of War. A topical subject given the news over the last couple of years. These Gods are responsible for war, tactics, strategy, combat, soldiering but sometimes just bloodshead and death. There are many Hero stories and great warriors who were responsible for protecting their tribe or clan, city or nation. Many people think of Pagans as peaceful and earth loving, and they can be. But, have you met the Romans, Greeks, Persians, Celts or Vikings. There are many Pagans in the military who are looking for a patron deity and we thank you for your service. And so for a November's Veteran's Day salute, we offer a discussion of these Gods. Includes Ares, Mars, Tyr, Kartikeya, Athena, Svetovit and Sarutahiko. Music Tail of Deneb and Beak of Albiereo.

Sacred Smoke

How long ago did mankind first burn herbs and inhale their vapors as part of healing and ceremony? Perhaps first as incense offerings or sweat lodge type ceremony. Some say the sacred herbs were brought to us by the gods and goddesses and are to be used in their worship and as gifts to heal humanity – and by the ancient spirit world traveling shamans. 

How did we get to our commercialized consumption habits today and how do we recapture and return the spiritual element to use of sacred smoke.

  We will discuss the sacred herbs and their historical use and propogation. We will discuss goddesses and gods such as the White Buffalo Woman and Pachamama, Lord Shiva and Durga ma, Freya, Cybele and Aphrodite. Music : Space Cakes.

Three is a magic number! 

In The White Goddess, Robert Graves proposes the existance of a Triple Goddess behind all Celtic mythology and religion derived from the ancient Greeks derived from the Sumarians. Wiccan and Pagan reconstructionists develop this idea along with her consort, The Horned God. Called the Maiden, Mother, Crone, she represents the changing woman's roles. Her symbol is the triple moon - waxing, waining and full tying the lunar months with the woman's cycles.

In this episode we explore ancient influences of the White Goddess. We look at Triple Goddesses such as Brigid, Hecate, the Fates and Allat. We dive into influences from ancient cultures in Crete and India, and her meaning in the modern day. Here on the Sacred Source Podcast.

Season 2 Episode 5. Music includes Tara Suite and Al Uzzah.
