Cecilia and Gràdh tackle the big questions like, how do you celebrate Samhain when you're in the middle of a major move? Should you eat the tails of random critters in the woods? Did Gràdh have an imaginary friend or phantom? And, did Cecilia cuss out a ghost?

So sorry! The tech gremlins played a Samhain trick on us... This is the correct episode.
We recorded this episode in July, and then it got pushed behind the Mabon one so we could get that one out before the holiday.
And then there was some weather, Gradh is in the process of a major move, and Cecilia has been traveling and starting up her writing program. This made for...

Cecilia is back from vacation, Gràdh has been moving, and we’re recording in the evening, so our brains are a little…unfocused. It’s almost like we have ADHD or something.
We do talk about Mabon and its place on the Wheel of the Year, the current state of Cecilia’s garden, our plans for celebrating, and various other topics. Like our hair. Not kidding. You’ve been warned.

After a hiatus due to editor complications, we're back!
We recorded this one in the spring just after the Eclipse. It’s interesting to revisit the shift in energy and perspective.
Do you remember our annual intentions? That's okay, neither did Gràdh. Luckily, Cecilia wrote them down, so we review them and how we’re doing with them.
Finally, we have a...

Our intrepid hosts discuss Imbolc, which apparently is the perfect time for divination. Both share their favorite divination methods. Cecilia pulls a Tarot card, and Gradh works the Ogham sticks for interestingly complimentary readings. Synchronicity, anyone?
