The Wigglian Way Pagan Podcast

I've said it before and I will say it again, we are on a roll. Mojo and I started the year invigorated and ready to take on all our projects and with enthusiasm!  Mojo interviewed mainstream and magical musician David Wood. David Wood was the winner of the IPMA Award for Best Male Pagan Artist of 2017 by The International Pagan Music Association! Congratulations David! David is the performer of one of the most fun pagan songs on the scene, King Bitch. It's dance-able AND edgy and I like that. Of course, we wanted to hear more and we did, and so will you.  We enjoyed having him on the show and will hope to talk to him again soon. It is also David's music that we are showcasing on this episode.  From Coronation (see what he did there?) we hear King Bitch and Hecate at the first break and We are a Circle to finish up the show.  During our second break we play the usual two song but this episode they are by two different artists. I will skip to the second as I want to give the seriousness of the remaining song it's proper and respectful due.  One to the two songs that we share with you in the second break is Silver Doe (Song for Harry). by Magicfolk.  That doe gave me shivers the first time I read about her in a book. Magicfolk combines the traditional and modern to create an ethereal musical experience.  Scooped right from Sooj's website... when she first completed writing the song in early 2015: "I don’t usually write songs that frighten me, but this one is the essence of turning one of your nightmares (one that isn’t necessarily far fetched, to be exact) into art...My intent is to share and to deal with the things that frighten me, in an artistic way, as a citizen of the modern world, in hopes of comforting others who suffer from the same fears. I am not a conspiracy theorist or a fatalist. I’m just a songwriter who’s chosen to take this particular subject matter very seriously." I'm not going to lie, 1157 by S.J Tucker is haunting, and beautiful. I've listened to it probably 100 times already and it was only released January 24, 2020. 1157 ('Til It's Over) is a hauntingly beautiful song that will "get  you in the feels" so to speak. The doomsday clock is now being measured in seconds and we have to move NOW. Be that as it may, we hope this song brings you a measure of comfort.  Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way!   

Hello hello! Hey there Wigglians! We have a great show for you. This time S.J Tucker joins us for an interview about something entirely new. Mojo and Sooj have a great discussion about her new project. S. J. has produced and narrated an audiobook of Denise Parkinson’s Daughter of the White River, Depression Era Treachery and Vengeance in the Arkansas Delta! As a true crime fan I can tell you I am looking forward to listening to this story.  We couldn't have Sooj on the episode without playing her music. This time for ALL the spots. From the Tricky Pixie album Mythcreants we hear Taglio (Mojeo if you like). My favourite has always been Tam Lin from the same release. In addition, from Wonders we have for you Song of the Witches, Sailing Song, and of course Wonders.  Sparrow is starting a 30 days of Gratitude practice within the next week.  The program at Positively Present Blog looks like an excellent resource that we can all develop attitudes of gratitude together. You can join us now or later and we will meet at the Facebook group to discuss our insights. You may have to join the page and we will welcome you with open arms.  Today, I am thankful that my migraine was short lived yesterday. That makes today a day of productivity.

Welcome to the world of the water people. We are the people that write about it and the people that protect it. At least some of the people.  As most of  you know, Sparrow is a water protector. Sparrow has an affinity, and and instant connection with almost everyone she "meets" who is also a protector and activist for the water. When Sparrow heard that she was going to have the opportunity to interview the likes of Lilith Dorsey, she was more than excited. You see, Lilith wrote this book called Water Magic and it's one of the books in the Elements of Witchcraft series that Llewelyn is publishing. We've spoken to another author in the series, Dodie Graham McKay and the Editor of the Series Heather Greene in previous episodes.  Lilith's voice evokes water magic as it moves around and through  your senses. It was an honour and a privilege to speak to Lilith for the show. 

Hi there, it's us again. We couldn't wait to see you. Mojo and I (Sparrow) have been sitting on this episode for almost a month. Finally, The Wigglian Way welcomes, Dodie Graham McKay, on the show to speak with Sparrow about her book Earth Magic, the 4th book in the Elements of Witchcraft Series. The publisher is Llewellyn, and if it weren't for them I would have said the F word a lot more in these show notes than I have.   We know  you will enjoy this interview as much as we have. Thank you, Dodie for coming on our show and for that other bit. We fucking love you,  Dodie! Sorry, not sorry, Llewellyn.  Next week, look for Sparrow's interview with Heather Greene about her latest book,  Lights, Camera, Action!  Thank you for downloading the show. We love you. It's all about the Love!    We acknowledge that we live, play, and work  on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the Coast Salish people.

Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween from Mojo and Sparrow here at the Wigglian Way.  Well here we are as Episode 1, Season 2. Fourteen years and 169 Episodes later. These things take time, sometimes.
