This is part 2 of a 3 part series on values in spiritual communities. In this episode we talk about the importance of personal values and how to find your top 5 most important values and what to do with them once you discovered them!

Homework is to come up with a project that honours your top values and then to email me and let me know what you think are the top five values in the Pagan community.

Music on this show is Draggin' Down Mainstreet by the Straight 8's.

Email: paganliving@gmail.com

This is part 1 of a four part series on values as it relates to our lives and in our spiritual practices.

Your homework is to take a few minutes and write down 10 values you hold in your life. Feel free to email me with your answers or with any comments and/or suggestions.

Music on the show is Diatomaceous Earth by The Blue Vagrants

Show is a few days later than recorded but at least I thankfully got it out!

In this show I talk about my own views on how a person can truly integrate Paganism into their lives. I really want your feedback, comments and suggestions about how we should go about doing this, I think it's extremely important for the Pagan community to come to this understanding and live our lives not as night-time Pagans but Pagans 24/7.

Music used in today's show is the song Blackship by the band East of Ealing from the album State of the Ark which I found on The Podsafe Music Network.

This show I answer Eric's question about how I justify being a Pagan (a polytheistic belief) and a Buddhist (a seemingly atheist belief).

I've also made a few changes and succumbed to imaginary peer pressure and joined http://paganspace.net.

New Theme: Restless Anticipation by Daren Woodall

Probably could've been a better show but still, hopefully you'll get something out of it!

And for those just DYING to know, no second date. We had one planned planned but it didn't go through. *sigh* To the men in my audience, what the hell do you want from me?! Honestly.....

Why do we keep jumping ahead of ourselves? What's so wrong with just, well, being?

I promise, I'm back! This is just a quick update and testing of the new microphone!

Another georgous day here in Toronto on a very lucky day (07/07/07).

On this show I do some mundane chatting about the newest (and sadly, last) Harry Potter book. I also read a few listener emails and do an unintentional live narrative of the Live Earth concert series (and if anyone know the name of the very first band that played at Aussie Stadium could you please pass it along? They were great!). This gets me into a tirade about Green living. If you're serious about it please run off to Green Feet for some fantastically environmentally friendly products. We screwed it up and now we have to make the hard sacrifices to fix it. Stop being selfish and do it!

Then, I finally get onto health. We as Pagans do what we can to help the environment but what about the environment that is our body? We can't help others or the environment if we drop dead of heart attacks and disease. We are the embodiment of the Goddess and God therefore we have a responsibility to treat ourselves like the Divine beings we are.

I also talk about the importance of intention and why it's the single most important thing to come to terms with if you want success in not only your magickal workings but in your life as well.

I have a confession to make, over the past few months I have been experiencing spiritual burnout. So I figure what better way to get out of it than to talk about it! Why do we experience burnout? What is it and how can we overcome it?

I promise you a discussion held by my local Pagan group Mystical Gatherings after our Ostara rit and then I snatch it away as there were some technical difficulties. So I fill the rest of the show in by talking mostly about ritual and how to add a bit of ritual into our every day lives.

Thanks to Paul for donation some cash to the show, you rock my socks off!!

The Uselesscast

Yes, that's right, this cast (other than Baz's segment) is quite useless. I decided to chuck out the cooking episode but only for the time being!

I finally reveal the secret to the theme song!

Baz talks about idiot Pagans who told him he wasn't worthy to be Pagan because his great, great grand uncle's first wife was not a Pagan. Grrrr.....

I know it seems a little early but Merry Imbolc everyone! The next show comes out afterwards so you'll have to take you Imbolc blessings with this one! I've been feeling angry lately and it has made me realize that I'm having a hard time trying to find a way to mentally cope using my Pagan beliefs. Does Paganism hold the necessary tools in which to cope with regular, mundane issues? If so, what are they?! It's Imbolc! I talk about what I'm doing for Imbolc and what it means to me. Baz is back with his first ever "Eclectic Pagan" segment. This time he talks about law and your kids! Does your children's school engage in the proper religious practices put together by the (American) court? He also provides a checklist for you to go through which is on the site, or you can email to get a file copy. The topic for the next show is about love. What is a Pagan's view of love? What does it mean? What about Valentine's Day? Do you celebrate? Why or why not? Email me with your thoughts and I'll discuss them in two weeks! Contact the show!

Happy 2006 everyone!

Pretty short show but I go on a bit of a rant about fluffy bunnies and it's not what you think!!! :D

My first interview! WOO!!!! I talk to listener (and buddy) Baz, who tells us why he wants to be a lawyer and his plans for a Pagan temple in his area. Get used to him folks, 'cause he's sticking around for a while!

Morpheus proves he's not cultured by licking his crotch while I'm trying to talk.

So I've been trying to think about the most accessible way of letting you all know more information about what is discussed in the shows so I have decided to start an egroup. I originally had it turned to "announcement only" but changed it almost immediately so now anyone can chat about the show!

The main purpose, however, is to provide a forum where I can send out an announcement when each new show is uploaded and I can send you the links and more information about what I'm yakking about. So if you're interested, please head on over to: http://groups.google.com/group/paganliving and sign on up, if you have any problems just send me your email and I'll add you to save you the hassle. I know the Google Groups are in the beta stage so I hope that signing up won't be a problem, if it is and the intereste is still there, I may do the same in yahoo or something.

Please let me know how successful or non-successful you are in signing up!

- It's a winter wonderland in Southern Ontario! I talk about why I actually love it. - I'm a fool.......and that's okay! You're all a bunch of fools too! -Logo contest!! Deadline is December 31, 2005, send all your entries (no limit per person) to paganliving@gmail.com and the winner will be announced on the first podcast of 2006. Winner will receieve a special prize from moi! - I'm finally back online so you can reach me anytime at paganliving@gmail.com, on yahoo messenger under cosmic_child7 or on skype under "emerald deepwater". -Music by The Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Eels, Emiliana Torrini and Joan Osborne. Background music by Duke Ellington and Hildegard Von Bingen.

On this podcast: -My tale of survival through the unforgettable "War of Leaves", it was tough and emotional but I got through it and learned many lessons. -I go on about music and let you in on a memory from Japan that I will unlikely ever forget. I discuss music and emotions, my theory on why it has been popular to connect Satanism with music and the fact that I love music is such an important part of Paganism. -Also I have a contest running! I need a logo for the podcast, anything is game, the only rule is that it has to at least say "Pagan Living" on it. More on that in the next show!

Hey everyone! Just a quick note to tell ya I'll have the next show up sometime this weekend, it's about music and my theory on the popular notion of mixing music and the devil and you get a wee story about a spiritual experience I had seeing the drum troupe Kodo while in Japan. I apologize whole-heartedly about the audio of the last show, I didn't have time to edit and had no clue how the mix up at the beginning happened nor the reason why I'm only in the left speaker! LOL But the new show is better! Thanks for your patience! Oh yeah, and if you haven't seen the original "Saw", I suggest you watch it, I just did and thought it was incredible!!! Ultreya, Em

Here it is! I finally got it uploaded. The new super-sized edition of Pagan Living! I am still internetless so you'll have to bare with me until I get settled, you're going to have to put up with me talking to myself for just a tad bit longer! In this show I've just talked a bit about the paranormal, my thoughts on ghosts and spirits, my own personal experiences with the paranormal and you even get witness to a bit of a rant when I start talking about skeptics! LOL So I hope you enjoy the show and I want to thank those who have emailed and made comments about the show. I'm feeling really encouraged and I do appreciate feedback, good and constructive, so keep 'em coming! Have a blessed Samhain and a happy Halloween everyone! Ultreya, Em

So this is a special edition Pagan Living. Just a short ramble about how I need YOU! I'm getting the 'net up by the end of the month and I want to start interviewing you about your Pagan paths and other such things so if you're interested, please email me (paganliving@gmail.com) or leave a comment telling me you're interested!

Sorry for the delay folks! I've had this podcast ready for a few days now but with lack of 'net at home I've had to wait, hopefully this will all be taken care of by the end of October and I can get these shows up as soon as they're ready! This show is just about the title, pagan living. What is it to live a Pagan life? Do you think you live each day with your intentions and ethics in mind? If not, why not? And of course it's also just me blabbing away. I may make sense, I may not make sense. And I can't remember the music I played offhand so I'm going to have to make a separate post for that so please forgive me! Thanks to those who's emailed or sent me audio messages, I promise to get in touch as soon as I can. Again, please be patient until I get regular access to the 'net! Hope you enjoy the show! Ultreya, Em

Here it is! The intro to the first show! I apologize for the sound difference in the music and my talking, I didn't realize 'til the end that my recording volume was down! I'll fix it for the next one! This is, as I said, the intro show so I'm just talking a bit about what I want to do with the show and a bit about myself, I'll get the first REAL show up as soon as I can! Ultreya, Em
