lakefrontpaganvoice — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 03:43:45 +0000

I know, cheesy title, but I wouldn’t be from Wisconsin if I wasn’t a little cheesy, now would I?

Today I go through the witches tool cabinet… or at least this witches tool cabinet… talk about what to do with all that wonderful weather I mentioned last time and offer something warm and delicious to add to your Imbolc (or post-Imbolc in my case) feast.

LPV26: Pop Culture and Happy Birthday!!

lakefrontpaganvoice — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:06:06 +0000

It’s Lakefront Pagan Voice’s one year anniversary! Wow!! What a year it’s been!

This episode is pretty much entirely about pop-culture, with a little anthropological musing thrown in for good measure and gets a bit rambly and unfocused… but I make up for it by playing music by Jenna Greene. “Harvest” and “Acceptance.”

LPV10: Tools… Seriously…

lakefrontpaganvoice — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:21:28 +0000

My totally subjective opinions about initiation lead this episode, followed by a party in someones pants… speaking of tools, where can you find them if you don’t live next door to the occult metaphysical emporium of dreams (or misplaced your floo powder and can’t get to Daigon Alley)?

And then more yapping about exercise…

I do like exercise.
