We talk about the Old Ways and how Griffin formed the Ced Tradition of Witchcraft through the roots of traditional witchcraft and communication with Spirit, we cover how to communicate, honor, and heal through your ancestors, the various types of Spirits you can communicate with, the Arthurian legends, the different ways you can be a psychic/medium, past lives, Samhain – the original Halloween, his work with The Green Man Store, and more! Griffin Ced is a founder of the Temple of Ced and for the past 30 years has been the Witch-Father of the Ced Tradition, a family/clan-based British Traditional Witchcraft line.  The Tradition today is spread over the USA with multiple Covens, including the original Temple of 30 years.  Griffin was first initiated into the Old Craft in 1975 in Britain, where he was born and raised.It is easy to see that Griffin is a true Son of Olde Horny by his heretical and sometimes irreverent approach to all areas of his life as a Witch. He is well-known for his informative, insightful classes and powerful rituals and events. For the past 13 years, Griffin has also worked to build community as a manager of The Green Man Store in Burbank, Los Angeles CA, which is a vibrant hub of Old World Craft. Having been strongly prompted from both sides of the Veil to publish some of the work, practices, and legacy of the Ced Tradition, Griffin decided that his first work would be a version of a tarot deck (aka The Devil's Picture Book or The Book of Dame Fate). His deck is based on the cosmology of Ced–an expression of the Witches’ Compass–rather than the cosmology of Arthur Waite, which is rooted in the Kabbalistic Tree. His life’s ambition is to go kicking and screaming to his grave having made a difference to people who seek a larger spiritual cosmos of wonder!Watch/Listen/Engagewww.QueerfromtheOtherSide.comqueerfromtheotherside@gmail.com

In this episode of Queer From The Other Side we go in depth about alein encounters and UFO experiences with UFO researcher and author, Keith Thompson. We talk about early "flying saucer" sightings, the social consequences of these encounters and Keith's views of UFO and alien encounters as a spiritual revelation and potential rite of passage. Shana talks about her talks about her extraterrestrial phobia, let's see if this episode heals that fear or feeds it! Our resident spiritualist and "resident alien" Derek shares information about his latest alien encounter which brings up the topic alien/human hybrids and how many potential alien babies Derek might have out there in the galaxy! Keith Thompson is an author, independent journalist, talk radio host, former TV talk show host, and former U.S. Senate staff member. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, San Francisco Chronicle, Idaho Statesman, and the Pacific Sun. The author of Angels and Aliens and Leaving the Left, he lives in northwest Florida. The UFO phenomenon is decidedly real, yet its key features point beyond what the familiar debate has led many to expect. The full body of UFO evidence includes paranormal aspects that cut across the divide separating the objective (or “outside”) world and the subjective (or “inner” world). Keith chronicles the phenomenon as an invitation, often received more like a subpoena, to recognize and skillfully engage this larger realm of being. Inquiring into what UFOs are requires willingness to examine who we are, the farther reaches of our own nature and potentials as human beings. Watch/Listen/Engagewww.QueerfromtheOtherSide.comqueerfromtheotherside@gmail.com
