Wow! Last night's lunar eclipse coinciding with the winter solstice was a powerful end to a year of promise, and a powerful beginning to a future of impending success.

As the moon hung red in the shadow of the earth looking like an alien planet suspended above our own, I couldn't help think how jarring it must have been to those in previous ages who would have had no frame of reference for what was happening -- perhaps travelling at night or happening to look out a window expecting the landscape to be flooded with light from the full moon and discovering this unexpected darkness and an eerie visage of the moon. It was eerie to me even knowing full well what was happening. I remember St. John's discussion in Revelation of the moon turning to blood. Perhaps he had heard tales of such things happening previously and was sure that it must portend something cataclysmic -- even the end of the world!

On a more humorous note, though, I found it interesting that nearly every article I read had different dates as to when it had happened before, and some articles even showed wrong times. So with all our advanced technology, we can't get together on the details. Everyone's in a hurry these days and can't be bothered to get something accurate -- something of as little consequence as a lunar eclipse.

I taped the Christmas Eve show last night and am putting it up as a podcast today, so you can listen to it even before it's aired! It talks about Pagan "Christmas" traditions, and about the search for a new spiritual paradigm throughout the ages, illustrated by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Epic."

We are looking forward to a wonderful New Year's Eve show with psychic, medium, healer and teacher, Jo'Ann Ruhl who will have much to share on psychic development and on being a professional psychic, not only talking about her own experience but talking to potential professionals.

We have two new series coming up in the new year, one on magick, and one on healing modalities and natural health. In between there will be individual shows on Shamanism, Croning, and other topics.

Look forward to an exciting 2011!
