(Dawn and Oseaana on the high seas!) So I Married a Witch!
In this podcast I interview my partner, Dawn, about what it is like being married to a witch. In part one of this interview we talk about how she came to find out about my pagan/witch spiritual/magickal path early in our relationship. Part two will be in episode 10!
I touch a bit on this holiday season and my a personal spiritual renewal in the new year.
Episode Lucky # 7 !! We hear from the fabulous Cree Summer with her song "Soul Sister" from her album "Street Faerie".
My first ever interview on Get Witchified is with Shaman Amy Frank. She shares with us her unique blend of Mongolian Shamanism and Native American spirituality.
Shaman Amy is also a wonderful craftsperson and makes and sells natural body care products as well as Navajo jewelry. You can find her products online at NavajoSoap.com or on her Etsy shop at LTaFrank.Etsy.com. Also visit Shaman Amy's blog at NavajoSoap.Blogspot.com.

The magickal segment of this episode delves into love spells and magick.
In this episode I talk a bit about (and give some clarification) on Dianic spiritual foundation and why I know longer identify as Dianic.
To honor women's spirituality and the Dianic tradition, I am featuring the song "I'm Every Woman" by the fabulous Chaka Khan.
I also talk a bit about my Halloween/Samhain celebrations, dip into the Cauldron for listener feedback and of course touch on the election, change and President-Elect Obama.
I am postponed the continuation of the candle magick segment, but do give some witchy hints and tips on money magick in this episode. Candle magick will be back in the next episode, I really, really, really promise! :)
Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain! To get you all into a ghoulish mood, the first featured musical artist on this episode is Screamin' Jay Hawkins with his much covered tune I Put a Spell on You.

I spoon out some listener feedback from the cauldron, and comment on the chat about elitism from TommyElf at The Edge of the Circle and Sparrow and Mojo at The Wigglian Way.
Then I give my 7 cents on how the words "pagan" and "witch" can be generalized in our community. Which brings me to my feelings on the Wiccan Rede and the Three-fold Law.
Next I go totally mainstream and talk about some TV shows I am watching these days and then end the show with some tips and basics on candle magick. On the next episode I will talk a bit more about candle magick and also about how to insribe and dress candles for spellwork.
Oh and somewhere in there I get political and rant a bit about the fall of Wall Street and Sarah Palin.

I also dip into the cauldron and read some listener feedback and touch upon one of the topics suggested from a listener..."keeping silent".
The first book review for Get Witchified is a wonderful novel by Yasmine Galenorn called Witchling. This book is from the Otherworld Series and is about three sisters...a witch, a shapeshifter and a vampire...who are out to save Earth and Otherworld.
Find out more about this book, the Otherworld Series and the author at galenorn.com.
The brief movie review is House on Skull Mountain. This 1974 thriller/horror film has a primarily black cast. It is a fun little b-movie if you like those kinds of things. Here is the trailer...
To round out this episode I talk about preparing yourself spiritually for ritual or spell work. I talk about spiritual baths, cleansing and safety.
