Episode 174 - A Magical Journey to a New Chapter
You may have noticed that we, the hosts of the Wigglian Way podcast, went through a challenging period in which our Coven broke up, and we then faced various health and mental health issues. As a result, our attitude towards public paganism and ceremony declined, and we did not have the energy or vision for it. However, as we are starting to heal from our physical and mental health issues, our attitude is changing, and we are getting back to our previous selves, where we want to engage in the community again. It's All About the Love!

Episode 168
Well Hello There! Long time, no see. We haven't been around these parts since January 12. That's a heck of a lot of time and it has gone by both fast and slow. You see, just a mere 5 days later after we recorded our last show, someone at the Wigglian Studios would fall down the stairs and break 4 bones in her foot. The cat's out the bag. It was me. I broke my foot doing chores. I will be starting a gofundme in the near future so I will nevermore have to do chores. I am just kidding. No I am not. Yes, truly I am. In any case, I also got an emergency molar extraction on my birthday. Need I say more? I am here to tell you that things get better. They do and I am the proof. Here I am writing the blog like I never have before. I don't know if anyone reads but I am going to write it like I have 100, 000 followers. One day you are recovering from dental surgery a couple days later you are creating a super amazing podcast episode with the love of your life. The podcast some call, the "Grandmother" of pagan podcasts. I don't, but still, I'll take it. We will take it. We've been here a long time. Fourteen years is a pretty long time in the podcast world. Some days you can walk, some days you can run. My prologue was so long I had to enter my password again to get at my show notes. So, without further ado... Our Feature Album is "Last Writes" by Shawna Carol. The album was released posthumously by her family. From the album Last Writes we hear Wide Open Dark Mother and Gaia Gaia Mother of us All Our friend Kellianna is on this episode. Her great friend was Shawna Carol. Kellianna has much to share about her musical mentor with Mojo. Mojo and Kellianna also talk about her upcoming book, of which I do not know the name. Watch out for Mojo the Troll. We finish the show with a sparkle. From Kellianna we hear from The Ancient Ones, Thank you Mother and Bless our Planet. Folks, thanks for listening and thanks for downloading the show.

Episode 167
Well well, Happy Gregorian New Year. Here we are a few weeks into 2021, and our 14th year of The Wigglian Way. Like I said on the show, that is a whole teenager and we don't know what they are going to do this year. It should be fun. This Episode, we have Mike Munsil, who has developed Triads for Change. Triads for Change is inspired by the Celtic and Welsh Triads of history as well as on the Courage to Change:One Day at a Time a book used in Al-Anon II. Mike developed the Triads for Change specifically for Pagans when the Christian based Courage to Change isn't the right fit. He shares the whys and the wherefores in Sparrow's interview. The Wigglian Way has a little brother podcast with a whole bunch of loving. Moj has launched his Moment with Moj podcast. You can find here on this website. For this episode, and possibly more, we will not be sharing a Feature Album. The FA has gone the way of the dodo bird for the most part it seems. That being said this episode has some pretty amazing music. In order we hear: Silver Doe by Magicfolk (this is a single) Blood for Gold by Sharon Knight (from the Green Album, Tuatha Dea Rainforest) The Spark that Lights the Fire by Tim Lane from As Sure As the Sun Rises in the East (This was sent to us by fellow Wigglian Chris Bond) Evolve by Gaia Consort (Evolve 2010) Four Directions- Ginger Doss (Hand and Hammer) Thank you to each of the artists for sharing their love and their hearts. Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way.

A Moment with Moj 22
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along!" You must do the thing you think you can not do. Elenor Roosevelt Background Music by Kris Schulz. www.krisschulz.ca

"And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain, when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in." - Haruki Murakami Background Music by Kris Schulz.

Episode 166
Lately we have all been "pulling in" a little bit. We haven't been able to travel across borders for travel or leisure. We have all had to stay home. Sometimes staying close to home we find hidden gems. Here at The Wigglian Way we have been reminded of some musical gems closer to home. Sparrow interviewed our friend Rissy who is a member of the three person band Hem Netjer. Rissy and David are pretty local to us. They make their home in Vancouver. Jesse lives a bit further away and Rissy shares a little bit about how they managed recording with a distant band member. From Hem Netjer's December release Kemet, which just so happens to be our Feature Album we hear Hem Netjer, Anubis, and Spirit Walker. Our next musical selection comes from someone we have known a long time. Mia Arsenault is a distant member of the Wigglian Coven. Distant because she moved across the country to be with family and work on her musical career. From Mia we hear Wild Hunt Lullaby and and Skye Boat Song. We are so happy for you, Mia! Thank you for walking this beautiful way with us. It's all about the love.

The other day I had the chance to speak with Robin Corak, the owner of Phoenix Awen Rising among many things. Robin came on to the show to talk to me about Persephone: Practicing the Art of Personal Power, her latest book. It's a timely book about self empowerment in a place of darkness. I'm working through it myself right now. If anyone is interested I wouldn't mind doing a book club where we work through the exercises and questions together. Just let me know at our email. Recently we were given a press pass to The Official Witches Sabbat which is a bi-annual assembly of witches and occultists. It was fantastic and we enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. In fact, as far as pagan conferences and festivals go, we attended more presentations at the Witches Sabbat than any of the others, ever. The presenters were knowledgeable and passionate about what they were teaching. The quality of the sound and video was great with no lag that I could ascertain. I would highly recommend attending next conference. Thank you to Devin and the rest of the crew for inviting us, it was a great time. At The Official Witches Sabbat the first annual Witchies were held. We will be having 3 Witchy winner, Mat Auryn on the show in the near future. Congratulations Mat! Mat also presented at The Official Witches Sabbat. I was so excited to hear what our Feature Album is this episode. Mojo chose Songs for the Waning Year by Sharon Knight and T. Thorn Coyle. This is one of my favourite more seasonal pagan albums. From the album we hear Prayer for the Dead, The Morrigan Chant, and at the end of the show, Osiris Lives. We also hear Holly, Ivy, & Yew from The Road Santiago by Heather Dale. To complete our musical offering this episode we have Warrior Goddess from Journey to the Goddess by Lisa Thiel. Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way! See you soon.

It's All About the Love! Welcome back to The Wigglian Way. We are so happy that you are spending this time with us. The more we can be together in new ways the better. Like this Samhain. Be creative. Make your Ancestors proud. Consider teaching your littles about their grandparents and yours. On this episode of The Wigglian Way Sparrow chats with Sharon Knight. Although I would rather see her and Winter in person I am content that we can spend time together, and with you, for the time of this interview. Sharon is sure to inspire you to find your passion during these trying times. Sharon found the stillness and space to write a year-long shadow work intensive that begins Samhain 2020. It's called Pentacles, Power, and Purpose and you can find out more here. Of course, we couldn't have Sharon on the episode to talk about her upcoming course without playing her music as well. In fact, Sharon recently released to the public 5 songs that were previously released on Patreon. Three of the five songs are featured in our Feature album segment today. From Witch Moon we hear Witch Moon, The Conjuring, and Boudicca (which is my current favourite). After you hear the next song you might wonder if you have stumbled into a Fairie ring yourself. Yes, it's Oh Shit, Its the Fairies by Parnassus. Wrapping up this episode of The Wigglian Way is Stealing The Fire, by King of Shadows, from the self titled EP. The Dark Days Tarot deck can be found here. Perhaps look at it before you purchase it. Some people don't like this deck at all and some people, like myself, love it.

Episode 163
Hello there! How are you keeping? We hope you are well. Mojo and I are both healthy and in positive spirits. Mojo has an extra bounce in his step these days especially and I think it may in part be due to sharing some time interviewing his first Witchcraft teacher, Cerridwen Fallingstar for the show. They got to reminisce and also chat about Cerridwen's most recent book, Broth from the Cauldron. Ms. Fallingstar's latest is a collection of "teaching" stories, a "literary wiccan soup for the soul". You can find Cerridwen and links to her many books at www.theheartofthefire.com Mojo has a part in the book. Once you've read it or heard it let us know what you think of her description of young witchlet Mojo on our Facebook page. Inquiring minds want to know. Both Mojo and I couldn't believe that we hadn't played this Feature Album by now. It's one we enjoy quite often so it was actually shocking. That means we can't keep it from you any longer. The Feature Album is the 2003 release The Hills They are Hollow, by our friend Damh the Bard. As is our way, the first song is the title track, The Hills They are Hollow. It's so soon, and I am so excited, we HAD to play Samhain Eve. The last of the three songs to complete the feature is Merlin am I. That last song often just starts playing in my head when I am walking in the forest. A wonderful way to spend a jaunt. I get all fangirl when Mojo finally plays one of his own songs on the show. As we are all mostly stuck and home and many of us are in urban settings, we thought City Magick by Chalice & Blade would be perfect for this episode. We can be magick everywhere. Rest in Power Eddie, Hail and Farewell. Blessed Be.

Greetings Wigglians! Nice to see you here. It's been too long. It's time that we all started to reconnect. It's going to look different but we can manage. This episode is all about connection. It's all about people we know and care about. We want you to know we care about you too. Let's share some friendship and music together. Mojo and I have been looking forward to this episode, this interview for some time now. Goldie and Jens own Phoenix Rising Metaphysical Emporium in Langley BC. They have a lot going and are pretty busy but were able to find some time to speak with us. I am sure that you are going to love them as much as we do. Goldie and Jens are community builders and frankly, quality people. As is our custom we have a Feature album to share with you and this time we go a little way back in the wayback machine. Our offering today is Wanderlust by Heather Alexander. From that album we hear Faerie Queen, Wanderlust, and Storyteller. What great Wigglian Way episode would be complete without a little SJ Tucker. It's been a long time since we heard anything from Tangles so today is the day and from that album we hear Weightless and Rain Falls Hard.

Episode 161
This episode Sparrow was able to interview Liz Williams. Liz is also a Sci Fi writer but this time we got to chat about her new book on pagan history called Miracles of Our Own Making: A History of Paganism. I love history and finding out how people did things and why. This book is full of that and I highly recommend it. Thank you Liz for sharing this time with us. ----->>> scooped from Liz's page Liz Williams holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge and is a widely published writer and journalist. She lives in Glastonbury, where she co-owns a witchcraft shop, and where she also lectures in creative writing. Damh the Bard has recently (to us ) released the third part of his four part series Y Maginogi-The Third Branch. First written down in the Middle Ages by Christian Monks, and first translated into the English language by Lady Charlotte Guest in the mid 1800s, these tales are a part of the Matter of Britain itself. Although I have added dramatic decoration to the translation, these additions are based on current academic research, and I have remained faithful to the original tale throughout. When you listen for the first time, try to find some time for yourself and listen to the double album in its entirety. Let me tell you now of the Matter of Britain, of castles and curses, of the Otherworld, magic, and Pagan Lore. Damh likes the piece of the concept album to be played together so there is continuity of the story. Sticking to that line of creative thinking we play the first three pieces during this episode. From the Y Mabinogi release we hear "Prologue"," A Proposal", and "The Stones and Bones of Albion." Wigglian favourite SJ Tucker, also known as Sooj, sent us a special gift to share with you all. We are Patreon supporters at the Firebird level. At this level there are so many great pieces of content. What we are about to share with you, from Sooj, is one of those great perks. From SJ Tucker's Patreon account, we hear The Cauldron and Wild Times. We are sure you will love them as much as we do. You can find Sooj's Patreon account here http://www.patreon.com/sjtuckermusic I "scooped" info from the other two but I am going to take Sooj's words right from the email she wrote The Wigglian Way. This attached version of "The Cauldron" is a studio demo, and only my Patrons, subscribers, and some members of my recent online show audience have heard it. I hope it will help listeners recharge during this intense summer, and help us remember that goddess Ceridwen would never bring us to the cauldron of transformation in order to make us into something SMALLER than we were when we got there. and about "Wild Times" Sooj says, "It's a magical activism song, and I hope it helps our people who are putting their magic and their lives on the line for positive change right now". SJ was inspired to write "Wild Times" in response to Laura Tempest Zakroff's A Witch's Sevenfold Waning Moon Spell for Magical Resistance on Patheos Pagan. You can also find Sooj at https://sjtucker.com/ simple. easy. Do it! Since we were doing everything a little differently on today's episode, SURPRISE! One more song. We miss Heather Dale and Mojo got to work with her and the crew at Online Concert Thing that we just HAD to play at least one song. It's one I love. Mojo chose well. It's Lady of the Lake from the Avalon album. We can not end the show notes without talking about Online Concert Thing. It is the way of the future. We love you. Be calm, Be kind. Be Safe. It's All About the Love!

Hey there! How are you faring? We are doing well here at the Wigglian Studios. Hang in there, Wigglians. We've got this. We are almost done. In the meantime, we are here to share some time with you. We are pretty excited to have Ryan Smith, author of The Way of Fire and Ice: The Living Tradition of Norse Paganism. I enjoyed the book and interviewing Ryan. Thanks for coming on the show if you are reading this, Ryan. We hope you are navigating this situation with ease. We have been waiting for this for a long time and are happy to share with you now. Akashik has released his album Long Forgotten. We didn't forget, Akashik and on this episode we are sharing Long Forgotten as our Feature Album. From it, we hear the title track Long Forgotten, Look Inside Yourself, and Firedance. Cernunnos Rising and Tuatha Dea complete the musical lineup for this episode. From Cernunnos Rising we hear Green Man (Last Tree Standing) from the Wild Soul Album. From their self titled album Tuatha Dea, we hear Whiskey in the Jar. Thanks for downloading the show. Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way.

Hello Wigglians! How are you keeping? We at the Wigglian Studios/Compound hope that you are well. We been keeping busy doing interviews and creating content. Over at Three Little Sisters Publishing they are also creating and compiling content for your enjoyment. I spoke to Larisa and Sheal about how they met and started this company. They've become such great friends and you can tell. I really liked this interview. At the end Larisa announces a contest. I wish I could "catchmycopy" but I can't. You can though. Listen for details. You can find them at www.the3littlesisters.com That's how to find their book selection and also how to contact them. It's almost Beltaine in the Northern Hemisphere and Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere. They are going to happen whether or not we are able to get together to celebrate/worship or not. Mojo and I are going to kick Beltaine off by featuring Michelle Mays album, Fireleap. From that album we hear Gently Johnny, Fire Leap, and finish the show with Earth My Body. Wait! That's not all. We continue the seasonal goodness with Beltaine (Calan Mai) by Magicfolk. Oh no, I am not finished. There is one more from our friend Alexander James Adams. From Balance of Nature, we enjoy Good Beltaine Fire. Mojo and I will be back real soon. Take care, be kind, and stay safe. It's all about the love!

Hello Earthlings! How are you managing? We are doing well at the Wigglian Compound. We've been busy creating. Yesterday, Mojo and I recorded the last little bit for Mojo's epic interview with Kellianna. Mojo and Kellianna chat about music and book writing. This interview was recorded in the "before times" so some things said within the interview may not apply. Kellianna, I sure hope we see you soon. As our interview this episode is with Kellianna it only makes sense that our Feature Album is Traditions by Kellianna. I believe it is the only one we hadn't featured. From Traditions we hear She Moved Through the Fair, Ave Maria, and Scarborough Faire. How advantageous that we could all use a fair and a prayer to any and all the Gods (and their Mamas). Scarborough Faire is a duet with another of our magical and musical friends, Jenna Greene. Recently, the magical musical community lost one of their own, Shawna Carol. As a tribute we play her song, Spiritsong. Hail and Farewell, Shawna! What is remembered, lives. Finally, we punctuate this episode with Jana Runnalls soothing chant, Deep Into the Earth, from Sacred Home. The Wigglian Way is thankful for our carers and wish you all the best. You are added to our prayers. Blessed Be.

Snow day! Not today. The day we recorded this fantastic episode there was a huge dump of snow. Mojo couldn't go to work and so he was here to co-host an interview with our friend Jason Mankey. It was a lot of fun. We both consider Jason a friend so it's always nice to get to chat with him together. We got to catch up with Jason about ALL (most?) his current endeavors. This guy never slows down. In the interview Jason reminds us that when he isn't writing, he is lecturing, and if he isn't doing one of those, he is planning one of those. You can find the link to Transformative Witchcraft- The Greater Mysteries , the most recent release, here. The link to Jason's Patheos Pagan blog, Raise the Horns, is here. Here is his Twitter feed. And some more books. Adrian Bellue is a freaking amazing guitar player. Remember folks, those aren't loops, and it's all one guy. One amazing guitar player, that's for sure. I am sure it was difficult chosing which three songs to play but Mojo managed. The first two are Stringlinger and Wargames and we complete the set with Dreamwalker at the end. The three are from Stringslinger. What can I say about Kris Shulz? There is a lot going on in this man's life right now. He wrote and performed two of the songs that we play on this episode, Jellybeans melting in the Sun and Sidearms and Sombreros. He is equally parenting his gorgeous twin babies with his equally talented and kind wife, Jillian. They are both starting the new Horizon School of Music while simultaneously starting a non profit called Empower through Music. It's good to have so many creative friends. It inspires us to be creative. One of our outlets is this show, but wait, there's more! I recently launched a YouTube channel (please like and subscribe) called, of course, All About the Love! I couldn't do just that so I at the same time, I launched the YouTube channel I also released a website at www.forestsong.ca AND a blog called Who Can Say? here . Thank you for your support. I am excited about all of these new adventures. I'm looking forward to one more imminent release. Watch this space. Wash Your Hands!

Welcome back...to the Wigglian Way. We are so happy to share this show with you. Mojo has the opportunity to interview Leslie Hudson. Leslie Hudson sings modern retellings of women’s stories from ancient times to the present. Drawing on myth, folklore, spiritual and cultural traditions, pop culture, family history and a lifetime of personal growth, she gives multi-genred voice to the synaesthetic spectrum of divinities and denizens, mortals and mysteries, the queens and querents who tell Her Stories. From Leslie’s album, The Wanderlings Volume 1, we have the good fortune to hear three new songs. First we hear Red Bird, then Sedna of the Sea, an finish the show with Seafoam. The blessings keep rolling in. We have so many creative friends and once in awhile they even get the recognition they deserve. One such friend is Jenna Greene. Jenna was nominated for an Emmy, which was the other evening. She didn’t win there but Jenna wins in our hearts. From her album Wings we hear Ravens Call. To complete our lineup we hear John Barleycorn by Magicfolk. This tune is a single and you can find it here. Talk to you all when I get back from India. Keep spreading the love. We will win. Here are Leslie's links!

Welcome back, to The Wigglian Way. Happy Springtime, or Autumn if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. I (Sparrow) love the smell of the ocean in the rain. It is fresh and a new beginning. Mojo had the opportunity to have a chat with Ashley Mortimer who is a director of The Centre For Pagan Studies and a trustee of the Doreen Valiente Foundation and a prominent member of the international pagan community. Tonight’s feature album is by Malkin Tower, a London based folk rock band. Malkin Tower is reminiscent Gypsy (Enchantress), who I danced to with my sons when they were children. From their album The Mistletoe Bride we hear The Mistletoe Bride, I am The Witch, Call the Morrigu. Our second set is two songs by Leaves’ Eyes. The first is Scarborough Fair from Njord. The second song is Elegy from Vinland Saga. You know, this thing that we are all doing? This trying to figure out who we are and why we are here at this point of time at this particular place, what is it for? It is hard. Really really hard. We know this. We experience this. So do others. Take a deep breathe. Exhale all that breathe. Do that two more times. Now, reach out to someone. Make a connection. That’s what it’s all about. Love.

It's a beautiful day. Things have been going rather well for us at the Wigglian Podcast Network. We are still slowly renovating our home and hence the studios. Everything is so nice and fresh. Speaking of fresh, this is an episode full of firsts. Although we have had our guest on the show before, we had never hosted Sabina Magliocco in our home before. It was a lovely visit while we recorded and we'd love to have her back. Sabina Magliocco is a Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. She is the author of Witching Culture, Neo-Pagan Sacred Art and Altars, and more. We both love Witching Culture and in fact our copy has obviously been dropped in the bath. I wonder who did that. On Episode 151 Sabina educates us on the what folk and fake lore are and the difference between the two. We discuss the influence folklore had on Gerald Garder and the development of Wicca. All our music is new to us this episode as well. Our Feature Album is Tracing Raindrops by Army of Mice. From that collection we here Memories of Snow Part 1, Part 2, and Dancing with Crows Part Three. During our second break we hear The Familiars rendition of Willow's Song from the album Cunningfolk and Sacred Pleasure by Shawna Carol from the album, Goddess Chant. Thank you for spending this time with us. If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review in iTunes or whichever podcast grabber you are using. We have a Facebook page here. It looks like an early spring. Thank you for walking The Wigglian Way.

Happy Gregorian New Year! As we embark on our 12th year of podcasting, we want to say, "Hey, where's our Wiccans?". This is the year we take our Wicca back. There is a whole lot of hating going on and we don't like it so we are going to spread the Wicca love. That's not to say we won't be the same welcoming Witches that you've always known. Wigglians have got to be Wigglians. We have music and poetry and storytelling. Our Feature Album/Storyteller is The Second Branch of the Mabinogi, by Damh the Bard. 1. Prologue 2. Ships from the West 3 Efnysien's Rage and the Cauldron of Rebirth. Music! Affirmation by Jenna Greene for Wild Earth Child. We couldn't start the year without our dear Sooj, who is now Mama to Jesse! From For the Girl in the Garden we hear one of my favourites, Snake Star Song.

This just might have been the most eventful 8 months of either of our lives. We are both so happy to be working our way back into the groove. One of those steps is jumping back into something that we love and that is The Wigglian Way. On this Episode we share a little bit about what we have been going through this last year. One constant has been our friends Jillan and Kris. Kris Schulz, you may remember is Mojo's guitar mentor and close friend. Kris has been fighting his own physical battles, but has recently released Chasing the Light. From Chasing the Light we hear Chasing the Light, A Warm Blanket for Sheila, and Tomorrow the Sun Will Shine. Thank you Jillian and Kris for everything! There sure have been a lot of storms lately. To mark that, we play Let the Waters Rise by Sharon Knight, from Portals. We complete our musical line up with Call to the Rain by Arthur Hinds from the Radiant Brow.

Episode 148 We can finally put 2017 to rest. For an arbitrary measure of the passing of our lives, the last 365 days have been a journey. Someone should write a book about these things. The love of my life was diagnosed with cancer. A cancer caused by love. We will fight it and Wigglians around the World will fight it. Will you help us? You can contact Mojo at thewigglianway@gmail.com or mojomagick@gmail.com Luckily, we have beautiful friends who weave tales so beautifully that you never forget them. One such friend is a bard of great renown , Damh the Bard. Damh the Bard has recently released an album of the tales of The Mabinogi, called Y Mabinogi-The First Branch. "This is a retelling of the First Branch of Y Mabinogi, the first of four albums that will tell The Four Branches. First written down in the Middle Ages by Christian Monks, and first translated into the English language by Lady Charlotte Guest in the mid 1800s, these tales are a part of the Matter of Britain itself. Although I have added dramatic decoration to the translation, these additions are based on current academic research, and I have remained faithful to the original tale throughout. When you listen for the first time, try to find some time for yourself and listen to the double album in its entirety. Let me take you on a journey, a magical journey of the Otherworld, of ancient Gods, of demon claws, of the Fearie Folk, and Pagan Lore." Make yourself a cup of tea (preferably from here), sit down, cover yourself with a blanket and lean in to this telling of an age old story. It's all about the Love. #WigglianStrong thewigglianway@gmail.com

The fun never stops in Wigglia. So much has changed since our last show and it hasn't even been THAT long. Weddings, weddings, weddings everywhere. Thank you for joining us for Episode 147. We are so happy that you are here. We have great music! Mojo officiated at his teacher Kris' wedding. Today, all the music is by Kris Schulz and his various musical pursuits. From his solo album While the City Sleeps we hear Fingerlicker, Through your Eyes, A Taste of India, Dave the Grizzly and the thought provoking 10 More Seconds. Enjoy these beautiful songs as we do. It's all about the love. We are getting to the end of our 10th year of pagan podcasting. We may not visit with you as much as we'd like to, but we are revitalised and ready for year 11. Thank you for walking, The Wigglian Way.
Episode 146 Once in awhile we get to revisit our spiritual roots. . We love it when our Feature Album is one by one of our friends. Arthur Hinds happens to be one of those friends. On Episode 146 our feature album is Radiant Bow. From this album we hear, Pagan Beat I am Taliesin and the Hanging Tree. At the Wigglian Way we are all about the Love. From Bekah Kelso on her album Within the Shifting we hear, Love Who I Love. Finally, from Inkubus Sukkubus we hear Fire of Love off of Heartbeat of the Earth.

Good almost Wigglian Summer! We are excited for the coming months and all that they will bring. We hope you are looking forward to the warmer days as well. Since we are talking about summer, let's start with our Feature Album. This time of year Mojo and I like to listen to Sharon Knight and T. Thorn Coyle's The Strengthening Sun. We only listen to it during the "Light" half of the year and Force of Nature, Frey and Freya, and the Jewel of the Sun are some of our favourite songs from that cd. Some of our other favourite summer songs are Aphrodite and Pan by our friend Kellianna and Hal an Tow by D The Bard (That's Damh the Bard in case you didn't know). Recently, we have been getting a lot of questions regarding meditation and journeying and what might the difference be. Better than to try that one ourselves, we invited our animist teacher John-Luke Edwards of the Sagh'ic Tire Dhream, to explain. As an added bonus, John-Luke shares the difference between Totem Animals and Animal Guides. May we also direct you to the Society's podcast, The Forked Stick. Mojo is the editor and publisher of that podcast. We hope that you enjoy this episode. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for walking, The Wigglian Way.

Episode 144 Jenna Greene is OFF THE CHARTS. Really, here is what our episode looks like Jenna Jenna Jenna EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!! First, Mojo and Jenna have a deep conversation about the music and Jenna's hopes for one of the songs. Interestingly enough, Sparrow thinks that Jenna's style is perfect for a certain mouse's boss's animated movies. We aren't saying the name of the phenom that is, but Jenna does IN the interview because one of us is anti-capitalist, but you might have got the hint. Then, the WHOLE musical part of the show is a showcase of Jenna Green and it is amazing. Jenna has a new album called WINGS (Sparrow thinks this album will really take flight). From it, we hear The Cave, Morrighan, and Give Your Dreams Wings (hint hint, this is the song). We are especially fond of live albums, so we are excited to share Kernunnos and Butterfly Maiden Song. We hope that you enjoy the show. You can let us know at thewigglianway@gmail.com and on Facebook at The Wigglian Way Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way. P.S We love you

Hello Wigglians! We just had the opportunity to interview two fantastic Red Wheel/Weiser authors and they are ready to go for Episode 143 of The Wigglian Way. First, I spoke with Courtney Weber who wrote the most useful (to me) tarot book yet. It's called Tarot for One. There are exercises for you to do to better know yourself and tarot. The second interview is with the writer of Love Magic, Lilith Dorsey. Considering how Wigglians feel about love magic in general, this book is a keeper. Not only does Lilith have great spells for all kinds of love, she discusses the ethics of love magic, which to us, is quite important. Our Feature Album for this episode Meredead, by Leaves Eyes. We hear: 1. Meredead 2. Velvet Heart 3. Spirit's Masquerade We also hear 2 Know, 2 Will, 2 Dare, 2 Rock from the album Tip My Cup to the Gods, by Witch's Mark. To complete the musical part of the show we have Pandemonaeon (so sexy) with Lover's Pardon from Dangerous Beauty. You are all Wigglian Dangerous beauties and we love you! Thanks for listening.

Episode 142
It's all about the love and always will be. It's been that way at The Wigglian Way for 10 years and will be for the next 10 years. Thank you for sharing this time with us. We appreciate each and every one of our listeners and consider you all friends, some we just know better. Thank you, for walking The Wigglian Way. Part of walking The Wigglian Way is to spread love. This is a dark time and the only way we have to battle the darkness is to find the crack in it and shine the light in it. That light is you. That light is us. That light is everyone that has the ability to share and to love. This is the time for action. For this episode we invited listeners to share a short segment with us about what they were going to do to create change and/or to spread love in the near future. We welcome Katrina, Christophe, and Alicia to the show. Thank you for sharing your coming efforts with us. The music for this episode is Love by The Cult from Love Love is your Magic by Michelle Mays from The Promise Circle of Love by Arthur Hinds from Poetry of Wonder Love Train by Wolfmother from their self titled album Love is the Answer by Aloe Blacc from Lift Your Spirit All the music, all the poetry, all the words are of love. We love you and thank you taking this journey with us. Blessed Be

Episode 141
The season is changing and we find ourselves looking towards Yuletide. Sparrow is creating decorations for the tree and she is making a new wreath. Mojo is working hard to make it possible for Sparrow to be doing all this crafting. It's getting chilly on the mountain and we thought it was time to warm you all up a little bit. Mojo had the opportunity to sit down with Arianna Lightingstorm from the band called Kiva, and they had a little chat. We hope you enjoy it. We are super stoked that we will be meeting Arianna and the rest of Kiva at Calderafest. Calderafest is a pagan music festival held in Savannah, Georgia and will be October 5-9, 2017. Our Feature Album for this episode is of course by Kiva, called Yuletide. From Yuletide we hear In Praise of Winter, Light is Returning, and Solstice Gathering. To round of the show and celebrate Yule just a little bit more, we hear Winter of the Wheel and Maiden, Mother, Crone from the album Winter of the Wheel by Sencha the Vate. We are digging the festive tunes. It is a dark time, but the light IS returning, and Wigglians know deep down inside that we are the light and that we can spread that Wigglian light, as love. One of the ways that you can help us spread the love is by becoming part of a Wigglian Way episode. We are creating an episode that we hope will warm each of you, and others, on scary dark days. That this will become an episode that people can go to when they are scared and don't know what the next step is. We would like you to make a recording and send it to us. If you aren't able to make a recording yourself, but would still like to be a part of the project, we can record it via skype on the internet or even your phone. Send us a 5 minute clip (it's important that it doesn't go over too much) including your name (whichever one you want public), why you are concerned or scared (political, pipelines, racism, sexism, misogyny, hate, etc), what you intend to do about it (magickal and/or mundane), what you expect your result to be, and when that will happen. We will intersperse your segments between love poems and songs. Contact us at thewigglianway@gmail.com to share your clip or to ask any questions. We can also receive some clips via Facebook. We would love to hear from you at The Wigglian Way. It's all about the Love.

Episode 140
140, you most natural, abundant, and harmonic divisor episode, oh how we love thee! We are mixing it up a little bit this episode. It’s a bit shorter than usual and instead of having a feature album, we decided to share some of our favourites from episodes gone by. First things first. Mojo had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the incredibly busy David Banach of The Magick Juke Box (I’ve got your back Mojo). David just so happens to also be the driving force behind Calderafest, a Pagan Music Festival in Georgia. We are excited to be attending this year. Mojo is performing at the festival and I am there to ensure he is fed, hydrated, and cool, and somewhat well rested...and to have boat loads of fun. David was kind enough to share a SECRET CODE “net2017” (it’s not a secret anymore) with The Wigglian Way for a discount on admission. Myth Magic, by Kan’nal is absolutely one of our favourites. It is in our “romantic secret stash” (not so secret anymore). We hear Coyote from that album. If you are a long time listener of the Wigglian Way, you will remember a time when a certain pixie’s name would be mentioned or her music would be played on every single episode. Of course, we love our dear friend SJ Tucker and we needed to share Lady Vagabond from Sirens with you again. Long long ago, there was a mixed tape, and on that mixed tape there was a song, and that song was good. It was a very good song and it was called Pagan Born. Inkubbus Sukubbus created that song and they put it on the album Witches and it was good. I am sure that Mojo chose the next song with me in mind. He knows that I love this song. It is Wild Hunt, by Chalice and Blade, and I love it. And him. Last, but hardly the least is another of our dearest friends, Damh the Bard. I just know that there would be amazing jam sessions if Mojo and Damh lived closer together. In the meantime, we are lucky that we have have the technology to record such beautiful sounds. From The Cauldron Born we hear Green and Grey. We hope you’ve enjoyed the show. Thank you for listening! It’s all about the Love

Episode 139
This is our 34th Prime episode! This is happy episode number 139! If you get that then maybe, just maybe, you will understand the math geek that Sparrow truly is. Welcome back, to The Wigglian Way! So glad you could make it. We have what we think is a fun show for you this go around! First, Mojo has a chat with the ever enchanting Sharon Knight regarding Hexenfest and her upcoming tour with Winter. Of course, they are two of our favourite people and we always enjoy talking to them. Hope we see you soon Sharon and Winter! More about Sharon here. More about Winter here. So, once there was a listener Katrina, and then we met her and she became one of Sparrow's dear friends, so we have her and her wife Trisha on this episode. As many of you know, Sparrow's head blew up about two years ago and she suddenly became aware of a lot of things she wasn't aware of before. Stuff happens when that happens, and chances are, your life is going to change. All aspects of your life will change and one of those things is your magickal practice. Trisha, Katrina, and I (Sparrow) have a chat regarding sustainability in our magickal practice. Click on Katrina and Trish's names above for links to various writing and artistic pursuits. A little while ago, Kris, Mojo's mentor and teacher invited us to his local gig room for some live music. Of course, Kris played, and he had Calum Graham as a guest. That evening we knew that although Calum isn't pagan, that we would be featuring his music on the show. For you, we've chosen Tabula Rasa, Wild Woman, and one of the best covers of Billie Jean that we have collectively ever heard. Speaking of "collectively"....we may have a crush on Calum. To complete the musical line up for this episode we have a pair of pagan classics. We hear Ravens by Gaia Consort from Gaia Circles and Sing the Stones by Spiral Dance from the album, Through a Sylvan Doorway. Thanks for Walking the Wigglian Way. It's all about the Love.

Episode 138
Spread that Love like Budda! This world is a whole lot of whack lately. It reminds me of the old phrase, "Stop the planet, I want to get off". For realz. Mostly on this episode we are catching up as we've been away for a bit. Lots has happened and it's pretty transformative. Change is good, right? Before we get to the music for the show I'd like to tell you a secret. Lean in. Mojo and I are going to CalderaFest Pagan Music Festival 2017 in Lafayette, Georgia! We are so excited. It's still over a year away but that gives us lots of time to plan. David, of the Magick Jukebox contacted Mojo last month and they worked something out. We will get to see old friends and meet new ones. Our favourite past time. We also got a little code to "sweeten the pot" so to speak. When Wigglian Way listeners use the code "net2017" they will get 5% off their ticket price. We will get a little kickback as well which will help us on the approximately 40 hour epic drive from Vancouver, Canada to Lafayette, Georgia. You know who I think we will get to see at CalderaFest 2017? Or hoping anyway, it's too early to know. Well, that would be Sharon Knight. Today on the show we feature Sharon's album Portals. I love me some sexy Sharon music. The three songs are, Crimson Masquerade, Scent of Your Skin, and Trail of Prayer. I believe that I might have heard that Tuatha Dea might be playing CalderaFest as well. From their self titled album we hear The Sky is Falling. It certainly feels like it. A band that likely won't be playing CalderaFest 2017 is Emerald Rose. They are retiring at the end of this year after over two decades of inspiring us with divine tunes. Thank you for the music, Emerald Rose. From Emerald Rose....Never Underestimate. Thank you for spending your time with us. It's all about the Love.

Episode 137
Welcome back, to The Wigglian Way!
This is take two. I wrote the most amazing show notes EVER. Then technology happened. For those of you who use libsyn, you know that it does not save your text. Be that as it may, The Show Must Go On and so much the show notes.
We were super stoked and excited to have an interview with Jenna Greene and Kellianna about their newly released album, Fairy's Love Song. Kellianna and Jenna came together as a duo under the name Lady Moon to create this lovely traditional album. One of my all time favourite tunes is on the album AND on this episode. Black is the Colour completes the show, but before that we hear Fhir A'Bhata (Fair a Vata) and Siuil a Run. Mojo and I are pretty certain you will enjoy this cd. Thank you Ladies!
For the first time ever on The Wigglian Way we hear the Italian band Ison. They have named their group after a style of music that has slow moving vocals, often used in Byzantine chant. It is an interesting style of music and from the album Venison we hear Revenant.
Sharon Knight and Winter have recently released Portals and it is FANTASTIC. From Portals we enjoy Conjurer. Sssshhh don't tell anyone but it's our feature album for our next episode.
Thank you for joining us here on the Wigglian Way. It's all about the Love. We love sharing with you, our friends and listeners. Happy Spring Everyone!

Episode 136
Hellooooooooo! Spring is around the corner and so was this episode. We think it's a pretty fun episode that was around the corner for awhile. In other words, we've had this one on the burner for a bit and are so happy to share it with you now.
Sparrow has a chat with author John L Steadman, who wrote H.P. Lovecraft and the Black Magickal Tradition. Neither of us has read a lot of Lovecraft and we found the interview educational and it may have sparked an interest in Lovecraft's work.
Mojo and I are excited to share Kris Shulz's premiere release as our Feature Album. Kris is Mojo's teacher, friend, brother, and pretty much a stellar guy. On this episode we get to hear the title track While the City Sleeps, Ferus Caballus, and at the end of the show my favourite Sagroovian Juice.
We also hear from Trillian Green, Tapestry from their 1997 release, Metamorphoses. From Faun, we hear Rhiannon from their album Renaissance.
Thanks for downloading the show and thanks for walking, The Wigglian Way.
It's all about the Love and we LOVE YOU.

EPISODE 135
Folks, we have to work on getting the love out there and spread around. Things aren't going so well on our planet and it's people like you that can help change it.
On today's episode Sparrow had the chance to talk with Pegi Eyers. Pegi is a Canadian, celtic animist, activist, artist and so much more. This is our first, but we are sure not last, visit with Pegi and we hope to learn a lot from her. Pegi talks to us about working towards using our own indigenous knowledge for our spirituality, from her book Ancient Spirit Rising.
As we mentioned above, we all need to be working on spreading the love and being our own heroes. Mojo shares with us a ceremony that he created with his classmates in the training he is taking now. On the shoulders of Heroes is a ceremony that everyone can do and will help you to become the hero you want to be.
We are so happy to share with you some great music by Tyr for our Feature album. From the album Valkyrja we hear Blood of Heroes, Another Fallen Brother, and the title track Valkyrja.
We also hear The Witch of Torryburn by Joanna Swan from the album The Seventh Cyrkle.
From his yet to be released album, we hear Before my Eyes, by Mojo Kemp.
Thanks for spending this time with us and thank you for walking The Wigglian Way.

Episode 134
GRRRR. ANGER. BAD COMMUNICATION.
And.........we're back.
As noted above, this is my second time writing the show notes for this episode.
It figures, it's about Mercury Retrograde.
David Zunker, Wigglian Way official Astrologer is in the house with Sparrow. He tries to help Sparrow navigate the maze that Mercury Retrograde seems to be. You can find David at Twitter. David's horoscopes can be found here .
We were missing our friends Gaia Consort and felt it was time to revisit the 2001 album, Secret Voices. Secret Voices is the Feature album this episode. From it, we hear, Secret Womb of Night, Secret of the Rain, and All the Light in the World. This is a great album for this auspicious day.
Today is the Super Moon/Blood Moon/Harvest Moon/Lunar Eclipse. Some are saying it's the end of the World as we know it. I am sure it is. Things are pretty scary now and we need to be spreading the Love.
For the first time on The Wigglian Way, we hear, Bran Cerddorion with The Owl and the Eagle, from Four Branches.
Mojo has been working on an album this last little while. A lot of his music is about Love, resistance, activism and so many other issues. Last month, Mojo recorded a number of songs and this episode we hear Human Zoo. The album is as of yet, unnamed.
Thank you for listening and thank you for walking the Wigglian Way! We Love You!

Episode 133
Two episodes this month! We are on roll.
We are headed off to SunWheel Music and Arts Festival where Arthur Hinds, Kellianna, Sora, Mojo and more are going to be playing. Kellianna and Arthur are co headliners at SunWheel and to get into the spirit, we play both their music on this episode.
We went way back and play some of Kellianna's earlier tunes, Serpent Mound and Shares her Love, from I Walk With the Goddess.
Mojo interviewed Arthur about his newest album and we hear three songs from our feature album, Tome of Mystery. The three are Summerland, Wine and Water, and Air for the Full Moon.
I had the honour of interviewing John Halstead of The Alleric Pagan blog about A Pagan Community Statement on the Environment, which he had a large part in bringing to light.
Thank you to all our guests and thank you to our listeners. We wouldn't be able to do this without you. It's all about the Love.

Episode 132
May has been an incredibly busy month and we are so excited about what's to come in the Wigglian World.
We have for you today Episode 132. Our guests are Sable Aradia and Damh the Bard.
Sable joins us once again to share some of her current pursuits with us. One of the many pursuits is the release of her book The Witch's 8 Paths of Power. I would recommend this book for your sacred library. We hope to have you on the show again soon, Sable.
I just love Mojo's current interview style where he has the artists tell us stories about how the songs came to be. I don't know what that style is called but it is engaging. Damh the Bard joined Mojo via Skype to talk about Sabbat, which is our Feature Album. This is a beautiful album and thank you for making it, Damh. From Sabbat we hear the title track, Sabbat, as well as Scarborough Faire, and to complete the show Thundersbarrow Hill. Wait to you learn about Scarborough Faire!
We also have a "mini" Feature Album addtion from SJ Tucker, just because she is THAT great. From Stolen Season, just because we can't get enough. we hear Dream of Mississippi and Sultry Summer Night. I will tell you that even though I was in Mississippi in December it was still hot and sultry. Loved it.
Mojo and I would like to share with you that we, along with our coven, have started a new Tradition. It is The Wigglian Tradition of Wicca. This is going to be a wonderful journey and we are so glad that you all are always a part of it.
It's all about the Love!

EPISODE 131
Episode ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE! IS DONE!
No such thing as short and sweet at The Wigglian Way. Unless we are talking about Sparrow, but we are not. This episode is full of fun. Two hours, two minutes, and 21 seconds of Wigglian funtasticness!
Sable Aradia dropped by the studio to share a little about her friend Heather Carr. There were a lot of incorrect media reports out there and Sable shares what she feels actually happened. Hail and Farewell Heather!
Mojo got to almost faint...I mean "interview" SJ Tucker about her new album, Stolen Season, which just happens to be our feature album for this show. The two of them discussed the album song by song. That is one of my favourite types of interview to listen to. It's interesting to get a glimps of the process.
From Sooj's album, Stolen Season we hear Black Swan Blues, Believe in Lullabies (After Hours) and to end the episode, Stolen Season.
We had to have a "Mini Feature Album" for this episode because Damh the Bard just released his new album, Sabbat. From Sabbat, we hear Iron from Stone and The Wicker Man.
Last, but not least, I had the honour of interviewing Lon Milo Duquette. Lon is going to be visiting Vancouver for the 100th birthday of the Masons being in Vancouver. Lon will be playing a concert May 15th at The Railway Club. On Monday, May 18th, he will be teaching three workshops at LON-A-THON.
Thank you to all our guests and musicians for being on the show. Thank you, for spending some of your time with us. We appreciate you all. It's all about the Love.

Episode 130
These were the shownotes of our lives. Actually, this is the third time I am writing these shownotes. Upon reflection, I believe they have taught me one of two things. Either the lost shownotes are the meanest teachers of patience OR they are teaching me to get a different type of keyboard next time. As they say...the show must go on. This episode Mojo gets to chat with Sharon Knight about her new project, Portals. Portals is a "Carnival of Mystery" mulit media project that supports a community of musicians and artists. Our Feature Album this show is Salterello by Magicfolk. We hear Dance of the Honey Bees, Bedlam Boys, and Babylon. Magicfolk combine traditional and modern influences creating music with a powerful, otherworldly atmosphere. There music ranges from energetic folk reels to Eastern European dance tunes to ethereal ballads, progressive rock and psychodelia. We just got confirmation about a number of things regarding SunWheel Arts and Music Festival 2015. First, we found out that Kellianna AND Arthur Hinds are going to be performing this year. We can't wait to see Kellianna again and we have been waiting a long time to meet Arthur. To celebrate, we will hear Arthur's Greenwood Woman from Poetry of Wonder and Kellianna's Maiden, Mother, Crone from Lady Moon. Thanks for downloading the show! Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way!

Episode 129
It seems we are on a roll.
We hope you had a great holiday and that 2014 was a great year for you!
At home for the holidays, Auntie Bunnie, stopped by the Wigglian Way studio to talk with us about the paper she wrote for her program at Canterbury. The program is called Myth, Cosmology, and the Sacred and is the only one of it's kind. Tune in to find out more...
Mojo thought that since Auntie is a classic Lady (been in the Craft for a long time) that we would play classic pagan music this episode.
The Feature Album is Lady Isadora:Priestess of the Pentacle and from that we hear, Priestess of the Pentacle, Witches Brew Blues, and Wintery Skies.
We also hear one of Sparrow's favourites from way back, Gypsy with Lady from the album Enchantress. To round out our musical selection for the episode, we have chosen for your enjoyment, Charlie Murphy and Jami Sieber with Calling on the Spirits from Canticles of the Light.
Thank for walking The Wigglian Way!

Hi there! We're over here! Ah, yes, nice to see you. Thank you for joining us here on the Wigglian Way.
We have a full and interesting episode.
Mojo got to interview his friend and teacher Jeff Stockton for this episode. They chat about music, magic, and the Song.
The feature album is called Mystical Creature, by Jessica Star. The album was recorded and produced by friend of the Wigglian Way, Winter. From Mystical Creature we hear Red Pheonix Aflame, The River, and to end the show, Wesa.
The music for the second break is by our special guest, Jeff Stockton. From his album Between Two Lights we enjoy, Midwinter Fires and Grandmother Snow.
Peter Paddon, from Mojo and I, and all Wigglians everywhere...Hail and Farewell, Friend. Bendith.

A short show, just to let everyone know where were are at.
Not too short a show to not have Feature Album though!!
Tonight we feature the fourth album by Qntal, Ozymandias. From Ozymandias we hear All For One, Flamma and we end the show with Indiscrete.
Say hello to the newest podcast on the block: The Forked Stick, presented by The Sacred Circle of the Great Mystery Shamanic Society. Hosted by John-Luke Edwards and Jeff Stockton. Welcome to the Podkin!

Episode 126
Episode 126 is brought to you by the letter DARK.
The music is dark and the subject matter is often at least some shade of dark. We are talking about divorce on this episode. In fact, I got to interview Diana Rajchel about her new book, Divorcing a Real Witch: For Pagans and the people that used to Love Them. Often we don't get enough information about divorce and how to go about it in a healthy way. Thanks to Diana, we have a pagan resource for that now. Thank you for joining us Diana.
Due to the subject matter, and the fact that we met Damh the Bard and he likes metal music, we are playing all heavy tunes this show.
The Feature album comes to us from Tyr and their 2011 release, The Lay of Thyrm. From The Lay of Thyrm, we hear The Lay of Thyrm, Evening Star, and to end the show Stargazer.
We wanted to keep with the metalness of the episode and so we round out the evenings musical entertainment with Leaves' Eyes, Twilight Sun from the Vinland Saga cd and Cruachan with Viking Slayer, from the Pagan cd.
We have been having a great summer and hope that you are too.
It's all about the Love!

EPISODE 125
We strive for Episode 125, and what happens? It Happens.
We have a pretty packed show for you.
Mojo got the chance to sit down with Anne Niven, the publisher of Witches & Pagans Magazine (and so much more). Thank you for coming on the show, Anne. We hope you all enjoy the interview.
We share a little bit about Morning Glory Zell and her passing. Hail and Farewell, Morning Glory! You were and continues to be an inspiration.
Mojo has had a few really great weeks and he tells us a little bit about his experience at the Shamanic Conference. Not only that, but GODZILLA was recently released and we were able to see it on opening night.
Blessed belated Beltaine. Ours was fantastic and we hope yours was too.
We have two events to share with you this episode. First, Sharon Knight and Winter are going to be here, in the Wigglian Theatre, July 24th. Contact us at thewigglianway@gmail.com for tickets. Limited seating so get your tickets today!
Mojo is playing the Sun Wheel Arts Festival June 27-July 1 in Central Alberta. I will be there too as your Mistress of Ceremonies. We are so excited and hope to see you there.
You may or may not be aware of who is headlinging the Sun Wheel Arts Festival, but we sure are, and you definitely want to be there. Damh the Bard is visiting Alberta from the UK. I believe that it is his first time in Canada. Let's show him a good time because I KNOW he will be showing us one.
On that note, our Feature Album is one of Damh's. From his 2009 release, Tales of the Crow Man, we hear The Cutty Wren and Hal and Tow. We conclude Episode 125 with Damh's The Two Magicians from the same album.
SJ Tucker has reworked one of our favourite tunes. Stay tuned for her new version of Snake Star Song.
Also, please welcome to the show, Tina Malia with her song, The Silent Awakening.
Thanks for listening to the show! It's all abuot the love.

Episode 124
This episode is jampacked. We have three interviews, crowdfunding news, protesters, and dear friends.
Have you heard about Sir Mojo and his Quest for the Love Leaf? If not, and I am sure you haven't yet, have a listen to Mojo's interview with the lovely and multi-talented Heather Dale. Heather and Mojo chat about the Celtic Avalon crowdfunding campaign.
Save the Bison in Yellowstone! That's exactly what our friend Comfrey Root did and continues to keep doing. I had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with Comfrey. He shares some of his incredble story. Tune and and if you can, do what you can to support the Buffalo Field Campaign.
Have we got a surprise for you! A third interview. The other day Mojo had the chance to talk with our old friend Arthur Hinds. Arthur has some interesting things happening and for them to come to fruition, he has a Kickstarter campaign. Click here to hear all about the campaign. Support your Pagan artists! Without them we are doomed.
The Feature Album is Holy Picnic by Aleppo Pine from Barcelona Spain. From that album we hear Magic Dolmen, Mystic Lady, and to conclude the show, Dead Garden.
Our next selection is a song from one of this episode's guests, Arthur Hinds. From Arthur we hear Never Underestimate from Poetry of Wonder.
To round out our musical selection for this show we present Sora with Scheherazade, from the cd, Scorpion Moon. Sora is performing at The Sun Wheel Arts Festival in Alberta, Canada.
Finally, a request from Mojo and myself to help our friend Ckyle Hanson realise some dreams before he has finished here. Ckyle has been diagnosed with cancer that is inoperable and untreatable. He would like to visit Yellowstone Park and record a number of songs that he has written. Doing that costs money. Money that Ckyle doesn't and won't have without our help. He is a good, sweet, loving soul. If you can help with this, great. If you can't, fight cancer where and when you can. Ckyle has a crowdfunding campaign at gofundme.
Blessed Be

Episode 122
Told ya! We had no doubts. We are really stoked about the show and all the interviews, information, and interesting add ons that we want to bring you in upcoming episodes.
This episode was pretty special for us to make. It didn't start that way. At first we were both going to do informational segments. I know I had mine prepared and ready to go, and I am almost positive that Mojo's segment was polished to gleaming as well.
Those segments so didn't happen. I had asked on Facebook if anyone wanted to weigh in on my "Forgiveness" (now) series. The specific topic was on "forgiving onself" and we got some great replies. I opened my email to find a well thought out response from a dear friend. When I read her response I knew that we had to invite Brenda Titus on the show to share her thoughts on forgiveness and the work she is doing in that vein. Brenda is a hypnotherapist and you can find her at Orange County Hypnotherapy. You can join or follow Brenda at her at her Healing Path Hypnosis facebook page.
Our feature album AND first segment are all HEATHER DALE. Heather Dale ROCKS. We love her! When you meet her you will too. We love you too Ben! Mojo got to sit down over skype and talk with Heather about her new crowdfunding project. We think the Celtic Avalon tour would be massively successful and so much fun. To view and support Heather's project click here. You know you wanna!
From Heather Dale we presen The Gabriel Hounds. From this album we hear Mountain, Odin's Other Eye, and to wrap up the show, Joan.
Sadly, very sadly, we cannot make it to Pantheacon this year. Our friends Sharon and Winter are playing the Cedar/Pine room on Saturday night at 9pm, with their band Pandemoneaon. From the album Dangerous Beauty we hear The Tower and Queen of Shadows.

Episode 121
Hey hey hey! We are back. Again. This time for real. I think we've slayed all the demons that were harassing us. If not slayed, at least have them locked up in a cage so we can poke at them once in awhile.
Sadly, a friend and Pagan leader has left this World to go onto different things. Eddie Gutierrez (aka Hyperion and/or Dr E, passed away suddenly of a heart attack on January 14. He was only 38 years old. We asked Devin Hunter to join us and share some memories of Eddie. Thank you so much Devin!
Sparrow continues her thoughts on "Forgiveness" and delves into the Buddhist point of view.
The feature album for Episode 121 is Grand National by the John Butler Trio. From Grand National we hear Used To Get High, Losing you, and Daniella.
Damh The Bard has recently released a new song, called The Wicker Man. Wow, it's amazing and we have it for you, right here, right now.
Last, but certainly not least, we have my favourite. Mojo Kemp with Human Zoo. This song is not yet on an album or cd but can be ordered through iTunes.
Thank you for downloading the show. We missed you!
It'a all about the Love.

Episode 120
AND...We're back, and a bit silly.
Thank you all for being so patient and supporting us through these difficult times. In this episode we catch you all up with what's been happening in our lives. There is a very happy announcement that we make in this episode about a friend and TWW contributer (actually, a bit closer even that that) so stay tuned.
We get all fancy and philosophiser like with our friend, Dr. Brendan Myers. Classing up the show some. Brendan, I CAN and I WILL call you DOCTOR if I please. You've earned it.
WE HAVE NEW MUSIC AND WE ARE SHARING IT WITH YOU! Three of our favourite ladies have recently released new albums. The Feature Album this episode comes from Miss Bekah. That's miss Bekah Kelso to be exact. Bekah's new album is called Within the Shifting Shade. It is so very very good. From that album we hear Grey's not Easy, Love Who I Love, and In the Blue.
Sharon Knight and Winter rock our socks with Fire in the Head from the newly remastered and released Neofolk Romantique V2. To round out the musical selection of some of our wonderful friends, is Kellianna. Kelliana, you made me cry with Danny Boy (scroll down the page after clicking the link to listen to more songs) from Traditions. Seriously Woman? Was that your point?
Oh Wigglian Nation, we do so love you! We love that you've stuck by us and are here for us to make a show for. It's all about the Love. Don't let anyone tell you different!

Episode 119
We've come to the end of our hiatus. Thank you for all your kind words and the love that you sent while we have been going through this difficult time. Your love and support has meant so much to Mojo and I.
The Wigglian Way missed Pagan Values month but we did want to weigh in, so in this episode we talk about Forgiveness. We all will have to forgive or be forgiven at some point and how does that affect our spirituality? Of course, we will give a brief review of Sun Wheel Pagan Arts Festival. It's difficult to give an unbiased account so we don't. Too many amazing friends!
Mojo and I take this time to thank Devin Hunter for all the work he has done on the Modern Witch podcast. Devin, remember that if/when you are ready to come back to podcasting you will be welcomed back with open arms. This we know.
Speaking of friends, we got to spend an entire weekend with Sooj and Ryan. As a surprise Betsy showed up at Chez Wigglian to perform with Sooj.
While we were on hiatus we were lucky enough to receive A LOT of music in the mail. Snail mail. A LOT.
To kick off the sharing of what we've received, our Feature Album is Last Call by The Secret Commonwealth. In our first break we have Man Overboard and One Shot. To end the show we will hear Dubhachas (I'll Dream of Times Like This).
In our second break we hear from Myth Magic, Dragonfly, by Kan'nal and The Greenman by Michelle Mays from The Golden Section.

Episode 117
I can't believe he called me a "geeky dork" just because I like a certain board game. Hmmpfft!
That's all right though because this episode rounds out our un-official Ember Days Musical Ladies series which was a two part series. Mojo sat down with Bekah Kelso to talk about her career and Ember Days the Movie, Thank you for joining us via Skype Bekah and taking the time away from that little man of yours.
Our Feature Album is Mudblossom by, of course, Bekah Kelso. From that album we hear Bang Bang, Maybe By Spring, and Upon Finding Myself.
We round out the musical selection by featuring two more cuts from The Ember Days Soundtrack. From Alexander James Adams we have Ice Storm. We Are Shangri-La, by SJ Tucker, completes our musical selection.
Thank you so much for downloading the show. Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way!

Episode 116
This is such an amazing show that we had to break it up into two segments!
Well, the truth is we didn't have enough room on our server to combine our two amazing interviews into one show so we split them up.
This episode we have an interview with SJ Tucker. SJ has composed most of the soundtrack for Ember Days, which is soon to be released, and we will let SJ tell you more this week. Bekah Kelso is with us for Episode 117 and she will have more to share about the movie and the soundtrack in that episode.
From Ember Days we hear Poem of War, Winter's Ritual, and Treachery is Afoot by SJ Tucker. To complete the Soojapalooza we hear Snake Star Song from For the Girl in the Garden and Taglio (some say Mojio) from Solace and Sorrow.
We are so blessed to be friends with such wonderful people like Sooj and all our listeners. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Episode 115
First, I seem to have a code in my node but that didn't stop us from making this episode. Twice. Long story, but I think Mojo covers it in the show.
Wow, did we ever have a great time at Pantheacon 2013. For anyone who missed it, we missed you, and we hope to see you next year. Both of us LOVE the atmosphere at Con. It's so us and we have so much fun.
Some of the fun we had included gorgeous ladies of music. I got to interview Wendy Rule and Sharon Knight. Together. At the same time. I was sweating (er...glowing) bullets. However, they were both so kind and so generous with their thoughts that they made it easy for me. I know you will enjoy the interview.
Wendy and Sharon both have courses that are beginning very soon. Wendy's is called Living a Life of Magic and Sharon's is The Ring of Enchantment. I am so tempted to take both these courses.
Of course, considering that they are both musicians, all our music this episode comes from Wendy and Sharon. The feature album is Live at the Castle on the Hills, by Wendy Rule. From that cd we hear Dance of the Wild Faeries, Animus, and Guided by Venus.
From Pandemonaeon we hear The Goat is on the Pole from Dangerous Beauty and The Shimmering Sheen from the album Pandemonaeon (in this song Winter does the main vocals).
We were so lucky to win a silent auction at Pantheacon for a gorgeous Grandfather drum called "SunDog". He is a beautiful and already well loved part of our coven and the rest of the group hasn't even met him! "SunDog" was created by Don Schulz who is the proprietor of The Different Drum. Thanks so much Don!
We met Dodie McKay for the first time at Pantheacon. She is a film maker and fellow Canadian. Dodie's film, The Winnipagans is on our coven movie night list, and I cannot wait to see it.
That wraps that up! Thanks for listening! Thanks for walking, The Wigglian Way.

Episode 114
Do you know the way to San Jose? We do, and this time it isn't by plane. We are driving it we are so hard core.
You know who will be at Pantheacon? Jason Mankey. Jason is also our guest this show. Thanks for taking the time to spend with us, Jason.
On this episode we also share with you our Pantheacon workshop choices. With the best intentions, we make this list every year. Every year we hardly go to any workshops. There are so many people to meet and talk to!
Another exciting thing that has happened lately is SJ Tucker finished the soundtrack for Ember Days and she gave us (WIGGLIANS!!) a sneak peak. You get to hear part of the soundtrack early. From the movie, Ember Days, we present We Were Angels Once and Among the Heroes.
Our feature album is HEAVY. It needs to be heavy to balance SJ"s soundtrack. What is heavy enough? MaterDea's Satyricon is heavy enough! From that album we hear the title track Satyricon, Lady of Inverness, and Between the Temple's Walls.
Thank YOU for taking the time to download the show. We hope you are enjoying it. Thanks for walking, The Wigglian Way.

Thanks everybody for downloading the show, we are so glad that you did!
We have an exciting episode for you! It's a double dose of the medicine called Sharon Knight.
Sharon graced our studio with her virtual Skype presence to talk music and her new endeavour, The Ring of Enchantment.
Tonight's feature album is the debut (2000), self-titled album by Pandemonaeon. Tonight we hear This Night I Ride, Sunny Simone and we end off the show with Serpentina.
During our second set of music we hear Imbolc from George Nicholas's album, Wild Soul and Bekah Kelso rounds out your musical entertainment this episode with Crossroads, from the movie Ember Days. Bekah was hugely involved in Ember Days and even plays Hekate of the Crossroads.

Episode 112 and into our 7th year. Thank you for keeping us here.
We are so lucky to have ECO-PRIESTESS in the house! It's and Environmental day at Le' Studio Wigglian Way! Mojo and I have taken a pledge to move CHANGE forward. Look around, every one is doing it and talking about it. Change is in the air. One of the ways that we will help enact change is that we will cover Idle No More for a bit. It may be one show, it may be all of them.
We feature Damh the Bard's newest cd Antlered Crown and Standing Stone. At the first break we hear Antlered Crown and Standing Stone and Down in the Garden. Damh's song The Dreaming will be after the third segment.
We have a new musical guest on this episode and her name is Ginger Doss. Where have you been, Lady, that we are just getting to know you now? Luckily, she sent us some tunes and we hear Ginger Doss' Magic, from the Hand and Hammer cd.
Castalia ends the second segment with We are the Wick, from Hidden.

Episode 111
Today is the Solstice. If you are reading/listening to this show after Solstice, WE MADE IT!!
It's actually the beginning of so many things. The old age is over and the new age has begun.
For this, the last episode of the calendar year and also the episode that closes 6 years of Wigglian podcasting, we have a special guest. We were lucky enough to get a recording of a lecture that Ronald Hutton gave in September in London, England. Sparrow was supposed to be at that lecture but was unable to make it. Our good friend, Dennis, was kind enough to record it and send it to us. We hope you enjoy and learn a little about Pagan History.
We are not featuring an album on this episode but have 5 seasonal tunes for your enjoyment.
Our first song is by Damh the Bard and is called The Winter King, from the Spirit of Albion. Next we hear Light of the World by Sharon Knight and T. Thorn Coyle from the album Songs for a Waning Year.
We borrowed from mainstream music for the next three songs and they are Merry Christmas Baby (by Charles Brown, from the Blues at Christmas 1 cd), Little Drummer Boy (Bob Seger, Ultimate Hits), and finally Winter Wonderland (REO Speedwagon, Not So Silent Night).
Blessed Yule everybody. Stay safe and warm and don't drink and drive.

Episode 109
AKA THE NEW CHARGE!
If you recall, last time Auntie Bunnie visited the Wigglian Studios she challenged me (Sparrow) to write a Charge of the Goddess. The challenge was that we would borrow from poetry and/or prose and come up with a new Charge. Well, finally, mine got finished enough to share with you all on The Wigglian Way. I believe that Louise had hers ready within weeks of the challenge.
In light of this subject, our Feature Album is I Sing her Praises by Jana Runnells. From that album we hear I Sing Her Praises, Isis Astarte, and Deep Peace.
We also hear I Am The Goddess from the Journey to the Goddess cd, by Lisa Thiel and Burn One Down by Ben Harper.
We won't be recording for a few weeks as Mojo is away at Grey Cup and visiting his family.

We told you we have an interview with a BNP and here it is! Well, the first part anyway. Sparrow was lucky enough to get to chat with M. Macha Nightmare. It was fun and educational. Macha and Sparrow discuss history of the Craft and Change.
Mojo and Sparrow want to make sure that everyone knows that if YOU are being bullied, talk to someone. If you don't have anyone, talk to us. Bullying is a waste of time. Don't do it.
We also want to let the world know that our friend, Peter Paddon and his lovely partner Linda, are on their way to living a "normal" life again. Peter suffered a massive heart attack but through his strength in conjunction with prayer/energy/love/spells from all around the planet he is alive and "good to go". Thanks for sticking with us Peter!
The Western Gate Samhain Festival is this weekend in Kelowna. If you can, try to make it out. There aren't many festivals this time of year and I hear this one is going to be good.
The Feature Album for Episode 107 is the second disc, Through a Sylvan Doorway, by Spiral Dance. We hear Witches Tree, Sing the Stones, and Feet of Clay.
We also hear from our lovely and beautiful friends, Jenna Greene and Kellianna. From Jenna we hear Harvest from the Crossroads album. From Kellianna we hear Sparrow's favourite Kellianna tune, Autumn Wind from I Walk with the Goddess .

Mojo was very lucky to be able to interview Sabina Magliocco for this episode. She is a brilliant educator and we thank her very much for gracing our show with her presence.
During the last little while The Wigglian Way studios received a wonderful bit of mail which ends up being our Feature Album. It is a double album by Spiral Dance, called, Through a Sylvan Doorway. From this new release we hear The Sylvan Doorway, Fae Dance, and Asgard's Chase. The three tracks we play from this 2012 release are all on the 1st disc. Wait until we hear the 2nd one!
This was a week of firsts. We are lucky enough to be able to play the new World Premier by our good friend Akashik. This track is called I Can Remember.

Our Feature album is Wild Earth Child by the gorgeous and talented Jenna Green. From that recording we hear Phoenix, Muse, and Chapel of the Wood. In addition to being beautiful Jenna is also kind and has the hugest heart. She sent The Wigglian Way, yes THREE, copies of Wild Earth Child to give away to You, our listeners. They are signed folks. Sweet huh? Listen for details.
On a sad note, we say good-bye to Dave from the PCP. Dave gave a lot to the community and we will miss him for that.
A memorial fund has been set up in Dave's memory.
To say farewell to Dave we play Hail and Farewell from Featherscale's album, Gypsy Heart.

Well, maybe not the episode but the interview we have for you this episide is long overdue. Catherine of Quadrivium Supplies spent some quality time with me (Sparrow) and we had a great chat. Enjoy and learn.
Mojo has been rocking out lately. In fact, he seems to be in a "hardcore" place and so is sharing more hardcore Pagan music with you this week. Our feature album is, By the Light of the Northern Star by Tyr (release 007). From that album we first hear Hold the Heathen Hammer High and title track By the Light of the Northern Star.

And yet, there are no dalmations.
This is a "taking care of business" episode where we share about the Sun Wheel Pagan Arts Festival with an interview with Ed (co-owner of Where Faeries Live in Edmonton, Alberta). Mojo also interviews Thom from Raven's Call.
The Feature album is no surprise as we were lucky and honoured to host Sharon Knight and Winter this last weekend for a really great concert. The album is their 2011 release, Neofolk Romantique. From that recording we hear Saucy Sailor, Song of the Wandering Aengus, and Bells of Alluria. We also hear Raven's Call with The Charge and Mojo's Solstice Day.

Wow! What a journey. January 2007- now and into the future. One of us knew this would happen. One of us was scared that Episode 10 would happen but here we are. Thanks for journeying with us. It's been our pleasure.
Eco-Priestess joins us today with a selection of organic beverages. Yes, a selection and ONE of us gets tipsy. Can you guess who? One of us gets drunk. Then there was celebratory champagne. Oh yeah, one of us was responsible. Which one?
All the music is Chalice & Blade (except for the first song, which is by SONA) tunes performed live by Wendy (Eco-Priestess) and Mojo...and a little bit...me.
YOU made this episode what it is and it made us tear up. More than once. We wish we could have played all the submissions but you all were so kind and it would have taken hours. We also had a bit of a hard time hearing such nice things about ourselves so we had to cut it short.
Thank you so much Wigglian Nation from the bottom of our hearts for sticking with us and walking The Wigglian Way. It wouldn't be what it is without you.
We are so frakking blessed. Thanks for everything.
Hail to YOU!

Episode 99
I will tell you this...I never thought that we'd make it to Episode 99, and I am sure Mojo didn't either. But, here we are and we are HERE with a HUGE bang. This is a jam-packed busy episode full of fun information, laughter, and music. We hope that you enjoy.
We kick off this massive show with Sheldon, the Facilities Co-ordinator for the Gathering for Life on Earth. Sheldon shares some of the very cool things that will happen at the Festival during the last weekend in May.
How lucky is The Wigglian Way to have not one but TWO interviews for a single episode? Our second interview is with the esteemed philosper, Dr. Brendan Myers. The good Doc shares with us some of the exciting things happening in his life. Brendan has just published Circles of Meaning, Labyrinths of Fear and his first novel, Fellwater (which is on my nook and I am reading right now- well not now, but you know what I mean). Brendan has also "published" Iron Age- Council of the Clans which is a downloadable game. How's that for a busy man?
Speaking of busy men, Devin Hunter- podkin extraordinaire, has a number of projects happening all at once as well! Modern Witch Magazine First Edition is now available as is Devin's book 10 Things You Can Do Now to make Your Magic More Effective. Considering Devin now has more hours in the day than the rest of us I think the has read his own book.
There is nothing like Hippy Pagan People to brighten your day and thankfullythe lovely Bekah Kelso has written a great song to prove it! What Lucky Bird (s) we are that we get to feast on these lovely sounds just as the Seething Sun is growing ever stronger. These three songs are all part of our Feature Album Departures by Bekah Kelso.
We also hear Egil Saga from the album Licht by Faun and Double Edged Sword from the album Incantation by our friend Sharon Knight.
Folks, thanks for visiting with us for 99 Episodes. As we head in to a new millenia of episodes we want to thank you for walking The Wigglian Way!

Episode 97
On Episode 97 we are fortunate to get to talk with Inanna Gabriel and Jason White about the anthology Etched Offerings. You can find out more about and purchase Etched Offerings at Misanthrope Press. I had a lot of fun doing this interview.
We also had fun giving away some swag. The correct answer to the question, Who is the big named pagan at the helm of Pendraig Publishing, was Peter Paddon. Everyone answered correctly but we had only one copy of Raymond Buckland's Golden Illuminati to give away. That's OKAY because on this episode we have another contest. You'll have to listen to the show for the details.
Our musical selections are tonnes of fun too! The Feature Album is 2Know, 2Will, 2Dare, 2Rock by Witch's Mark. From this album we hear Wiccan Soldier, The Other People, and A Witch Alone. Mojo warned folks that it was heavy but I think it's okay (wink wink). As is our usual M.O. we asked our guests what they'd like to hear and they chose Kenny Klein and SJ Tucker. We chose Heart beat from Haphazard by Sooj and from Kenny we hear Pagan Girl from the album Ghosts of the Delta.
We are having an "interview-a-thon" for the month of April. If you would like to be interviewed in April or May please send us an email at thewigglianway@gmail.com and we'll have a bit of a chat.

Episode 96
There are no tears let alone 96 of them. We are so happy to be bringing you this guerilla episode of The Wigglian Way. It was a spur of the moment show and we think you'll enjoy it.
Since Episode 95 we have received more information regarding The Sun Wheel Arts Festival in Alberta. First and foremost, S.J. Tucker will be performing at the festival. Lucky Alberta and lucky us! We are going to be there too. Mojo will be performing solo and I will be recording something for the show. Alberta band Raven's Call will also be onstage and we are looking forward to that as well.
Mojo and I are both recovering from our trip to Pantheacon. In this episode we share with you all the events we attended and some of our private moments. One of the "private" moments is that we were guests on Pagan Chaos Magic with Ki'a Dragon. We are looking forward to hearing that episode and will let you know when it airs.
Lastly, we weigh in on the contraversy that has again reared it's ugly head at Pantheacon. Our point of view may not be the most popular one but it is based on our love of freedom and the right to speak.
Tonight's feature album is 2004's Sared Home by Jana Runnalls. From Sacred Home we hear Ritual, Elemental Circle and we end the show with Spirit of the Cloven Hoof.
During our second set of music we hear Jack the Cat from Trillian Green and Drowsy Maggie_Morning Invention from our good friends, Emerald Rose.
It's all about the Love. Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way!

Episode 95
Two steps forward and one back? The closer we get to Episode 100 the harder it is to see. We will get there. It's only 5 episodes. It's bound to happen. Right? Right? Right!
We talk about the busy month that February is turning out to be for us. For such a short month it sure has a lot packed into it. Sparrow's segment is quaintly named, "clothing/modesty/misogyny/slut whore topic"...and is a rant against the word SLUT. We discuss about many workshops and lectures that are available at Pantheacon, in San Jose, this year and which ones we'd like to go to. We leave in just a few days.
The feature album for tonight's episode is, As Nature Intended, by Damh the Bard. It's a live unplugged album and we LOVE it! From the album we hear Pagan Ways, Gently Johnny, and The Hills they are Hollow. Alexander James Adams, Sharon Knight, and T.Thorn Coyle will all be at Pantheacon so we share some of their music with you on Episode 95. From Alec we hear Blood and Passion from Balance of Nature. From Sharon and Thorn's album Songs for the Strengthening Sun we hear Joys of Springtime.
The Sun IS strengthening. If we all sing, laugh, dance, and love LOUD the Sun will return. Summer will come again.
Speaking of summer, we have our first summer festival announcement! The Sun Wheel Pagan Arts Festival, June 29th to July 2nd, just outside of Edmonton, Alberta!
Thanks for visiting with us and for downloading the show. Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way!

Episode 94
Let me tell you a joke...
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Auntie.
Auntie Who?
Auntie Bunnie.
Auntie Bunnie? What? Oh no.
Funny story. Mojo was on his computer...probably practicing his guitar maybe...writing his thesis in Theban. He was doing something intense in any case.
Sparrow was on the way home from the Mall. It was imperative that she got home and utilised the cosmetic face mask that she just bought. Music was playing on the radio and Hubby was telling some story. Sparrow's phone rings, "Squirt, we've got a situation"...well something like that. It was filled with a few more expletives but you get the gist.
In any case, Auntie Bunnie (AKA Auntie Louise) had knocked on the door of The Wigglian Way studio for the appointment she had to record a segment for The Wigglian Way. Neither Sparrow nor Mojo had actually read their email correctly and thought that the appointment was for NEXT week. Sparrow rushed over to the studio on the mountain. In the meantime Mojo had set up the equipment and Auntie had started tea. Lovely tea.
The recording of Episode 94 was about to be begin (on VERY short notice and with not a lot of planning) and this was what happened...
Auntie Bunnie shares a little bit about one of her favourite poets, Ted Hughes. His poetry has deep paganesque themes and can be adapted to pagan rites. You too will be inspired to add poetry to your rituals and perhaps, like Sparrow, to write a personal Charge of the Goddess.
The feature album, as promised last episode is one by S.J. Tucker. We showcase Sirens, S.J's 2006 release by sharing Lady Vagabond, Girl in the Garden, and Valkyrie Daughter with you.
By special request from Aunie Bunnie you will hear Song of Awen (from Herne's Apprentice 2002)by Damh the Bard. From our dear friend, Arthur Hinds, we hear Circle of Love from Poetry of Wonder. See what we did there?
Thank you for listening and thank you for downloading the show. Enjoy!
A special thank you to our guest, Auntie Bunnie.

Sparrow is taking a hiatus.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO FADE!!! I just had to say that as I have to make an announcement. I am going to take a hiatus for at least a month (as well as the unknown hiatus for the last little bit). Due to health concerns, the end of the school year, and my upcoming trip to Ireland I am going to have to take it easy. A little... update. While I am not "sick" the arthritis pain is quite concentrated in my wrists (left mostly) and entire ribcage. It is all I can do to actually get up in the morning and go to work. It is with GREAT sadness that I am going to have to take a slightly extended break from the show. However, that being said, WE WILL BE BACK!!!! Let there be no mistake. It's all about the Love and I Love all of you. Sparrow

SOOJ NEWS!!
Here is an email the we recieved from Sooj and K:
Greetings from K Wiley, partner and assistant to SJ Tucker. We are now pleased to announce several very big projects in the works for 2010. These include releasing her next album, finding our next touring vehicle, transcribing and printing sheet music for her songs, and manifesting the next SoojKon-style events, in answer to repeated demands for another rendition of the "Trains of Heaven" adventure. First, you must know that SJ and I have recently discovered a wonderful old word for an amazing concept: Strowlers. The original definition is from 18th century thieves cant: "n. Vagabonds, Itinerants, Men of no settled Abode, of a precarious Life, Wanderers of Fortune, such as Gypsies, Beggars, Pedlars, Hawkers, Mountebanks, Fidlers, Country-Players, Rope-dancers, Jugglers, Tumblers, Shewers of Tricks, and Raree-show-men." (From the Dictionary of Thieving Slang, 1737) I saw this definition and immediately realized: this is us. This is what we are and what we do. It means even more in the modern sense. To us, it is a word for people who make their own way because the status quo is insufficient. In this vein, we are manifesting three really ambitious events this fall - one in Seattle, one in St. Louis, and we're now setting one up in the Boston area. The core idea is to pull together our fans as a community and to showcase the best musicians, performers, and bands that SJ has had the privilege of befriending in her travels; all of them Strowlers in their own way. Right now, we need your help to determine how many people we can expect at each of these events. We are also seeking vendors, volunteers, investors, and sponsors for each event.
Please fill out the online poll for the events you are interested in attending, so that we can adjust to better suit your needs. Please tell your friends about these events, too. We know that there are a lot of Sooj fans out there that might not see this e-mail.
Seattle Strowler event (September 24-25)
Online poll: http://sjtucker.com/c8l_poll
Event details: http://sjtucker.com/c8l_event
St Louis Strowler event (October 8-10)

Boston-area Strowler event (either September 10-12 or October 1-3)
Online poll: http://sjtucker.com/ne_poll
Event details: http://sjtucker.com/ne_event
In other news, we are getting closer to the next SJ Tucker studio album: Mischief. We are very excited. While we're not yet ready to offer album presales, we are now offering album sponsorship packages. You can be a part of the album that includes Salad of Doom, Cheshire Kitten, Ravens in the Library, The Truth about Ninjas, and more of SJ's best new songs. All album sponsors will receive a special Mischief gift pack, plus high level sponsors can get their names in the liner notes and even advance pre-release downloads (Album sponsorship details are here: http://sjtucker.com/sponsor_mischief).
On logistical matters, we are now officially in the market for our next touring vehicle. Specifically, we are looking for a 2005 or 2006 Dodge Sprinter passenger van. Help us find the perfect van by keeping your eyes and ears perked for something that meets our specs, detailed here: http://sjtucker.com/tour_van -- We are also offering van sponsorship packages. Last but not least, we are continuing work on the transcription of SJ's songs into sheet music. We are working with several very talented professionals, going song by song, and making sure each one is right. The process is proving more complicated and expensive than we originally expected, and we want to see what you think about how the project should proceed. To that end, we have set up an online poll to get your opinion on several key aspects, and we have set up a page detailing several donation/sponsorship options, in case you're particularly interested in getting some or all of this process completed faster.
Online poll: http://sjtucker.com/transcription_poll
Songbook details: http://sjtucker.com/sponsor_songbook
We hope that this last year has been at least as wonderful and positive for you as it has been for us. SJ and I are grateful to you for listening and for being a part of our ever-growing success story. Thank you, very much.
Sincerely, K Wiley SJ Tucker's assistant

Greetings Wigglians! Now for something a little bit different! Well, this post is a bit different as I (Sparrow) am writing it. We've had a few bumps in the road trying to post this show. First we didn't have enough space and then last night, when we finally did, I couldn't upload the show. Mojo had to do that part this morning. On this episode we continue with the 101 lessons. The lesson for today is: Chalices, Cauldrons, and Wells. Mojo and I also read listener email and respond with our "reminders of what you already know." Soon we will be off to FaerieWorlds and then to Dragonfest. FaerieWorlds is predominantly a music festival so for your listening pleasure we play three groups of musicians that will be playing that weekend. We've got the beautiful Kellianna, the gorgeous "skinny white chick" SJ Tucker who will be playing with Tricky Pixie, and finally (or first as may be the case) Wendy and Mojo of Chalice and Blade. Speaking of Chalice and Blade, Mojo makes an important announcement. Much love to our Podkin and Listeners. Thank You for Walking the Wigglian Way. It's all about the LOVE.
