Lessons From Tucson - In A (very different) Pastor's Study, Jan 17, 2011
January 17, 2011

I'd feel remiss if I didn't talk about the shootings in Tucson, Arizona. As a young child, Tucson and Albuquerque were right up there with Los Angeles as favorite vacation stops where people lived who I loved to see. And that continued for some time, wi

Looking At The Devil - In A (very different) Pastor's Study, Jan 10, 2011
January 09, 2011

We might as well spend some time discussing the subject of "The Devil", since so many other people do. In fact, some of them think that folks like you and I who aren't marching in lock-step on a spiritual path just like theirs must be serving that devil.

Confronting Evil - In A (very different) Pastor's Study, Jan 2, 2011
January 01, 2011

For starting off a new year, and a new segment to this show, it seemed appropriate that the first episode might deal with confronting evil. It's something we all have to face, and it's also something that some of us are sometimes accused of, if for no ot

To Be Silent - 4th of 4 (or 5th of 5)
December 26, 2010

You dare - daring is what all magick is about. You know - because you have to know what you are doing and what you are doing it about. You will, because your will is your primary source of strength. And so we come to being silent. You are silent becau

YULE! Mass For The Shut-Out December 21, 2010
December 19, 2010

And here is our Yule celebration, our virtual gathering of all of our audience and friends into our virtual chapel for a celebration together! And it's as full and real as you will let it be! We speak of magick, don't we? So, why not! A promise was ma

To Will - 4th of 5 (or 3rd of 4)
December 12, 2010

You dare and you know, now is the time to will. And will you must, because it is the main source of your spiritual strength. In "The Shootist", John Wayne (in the character of John Bernard Books) spoke about the importance of bing willing as it related

To Know - 2nd of 4 (or 3rd of 5)
December 06, 2010

We're dealing with a logical progression here. First, there was "To Dare". Without that, there wouldn't even be any effort. And now, we have "To Know". And the progression from daring to knowing should be readily apparent to one and all. After all, o

After - Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Mass For The Shut - Out for November 2010
November 27, 2010

Thanksgiving Day in the United States was November 23rd this year, the fourth Thursday in November - as has been the custom for decades. So, why are we offering a thanksgiving celebration after Thanksgiving? I'm offering some Norse wisdom as scripture,

To Dare - 2nd of 5 (or 1st of 4)
November 21, 2010

The second of five in the series, and the first in the "core". And the very first is simply: To Dare. From the time our spiritual life gets beyond rote recital of prayers of the "Now I lay me down to sleep" variety, most of us try to find a spirituality

Finding Your (Spiritual) Strength - Lesson 27
November 14, 2010

This will be the first of five (at least), subject to interruption by Mass For The Shut Out. And that's fine, we need that too. But this is a good topic to look at betwixt Samhain and Yule. Did you ever wonder why some do so well spiritually, but for o
