Lammas and Heatstroke
Jeva and Betsy present Pagan Headlines. Thanks to your support, Lance and Graal will continue. Betsy and Jeva take time to give thanks. The roots of Lammas are ancient, but this Holiday celebrating the Corn-King's self-sacrifice is especially relevant in these times. Lammas is an important opportunity to show our gratitude to those who have made personal sacrifices so that the Pagan community may thrive. Outdoor rituals are a lot of fun. It's a good idea, though, to take proper precautions to that heat, rain, and wind don't ruin your celebration. The Cabot Temple is gearing up for its 18th Annual Witch's Ball -- this time at the luxurious Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA. Rapid Cabot Freeman of WitchinHour TV provides a first glimpse.

Of the four main ritual tools, the chalice is often the most difficult to personalize. We share some tips. When Witchschool International moved to Hoopeston, IL, the entrepreneurs running it encountered resistance and hostility from the city government. Four years later, the school is relocating to nearby Rossville. Don Lewis shares his experiences. Podsafe music by: True Tribe, Ulph Johansson, Liquid Blue, The Tunguska Event

Pentacle Quest Successful!
Pagan Veterans Honored We're postponing our previously recorded show to bring you a very special interview with Rev. Selena Fox about the successful conclusion of the Pentacle Quest. As you know, Wiccans have struggled for about a decade with the Veterans Administration to ensure that the Pentacle is included on its list of approved religious symbols that can be placed on VA grave markers. The struggle began in 1997 and intensified a little over a year ago, when Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in action during Operation: Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan's Kandahar region. As a result of the joint efforts of a broad based coalition of religious groups, Pagan and other, and with the legal muscle of the ACLU and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, the Pentacle was added to the VA's list of approved religious symbols on April 23. A special ceremony, dedicating the first three Wiccan veterans grave markers will be held Monday, May 28, 2007 at Circle Sanctuary.

Back by Beltane -- Almost
Finally, the show is back up. I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me. Today, it's just Jeva in the studio, but the others will be back soon. Conspiracy Theories, just what is it that makes them so much fun? I've spent way more time watching all sorts of conspiracy videos, but the more of them I seem, the less I can buy into them. They've become my latest guilty pleasure, though. I've even cooked up some of my own, though I'm not going to bother to even try to find a shred of evidence in their support; however, they certainly don't sound much crazier than all the other conspiracy theories, and that's the only thing I'll say in their defense. On a more serious note, I'm interviewing Captain Don Larsen of the National Guard, a Wiccan and former military chaplain. We spoke about his struggle to become the first Wiccan military chaplain in a earlier episode. Today, however, Captain Larsen shares some of his experiences while stationed in Iraq, giving us some insights into the spiritual needs of those who are stationed in combat situations.

Episode 70 -- The Magick of New Years Resolutions
We're still struggling with our connectivity. So this time, it's only a brief episode. There's a magickal dimension to the act of making a New Year's resolution. But like many things in magick, there are right and wrong ways to go about making them. Betsy and Jeva reflect on 2006. What's the difference between a pentagram and a pentacle? Here's the scoop.

Episode 69 -- WitchinHour TV
Today, Betsy and Jeva share their thoughts on Yule. Not all Pagans celebrate Yule, and not all family members in Pagan households do, either. Was America intended to be a "Christian" nation? Our Founding Fathers didn't exactly see eye to eye in that matter. Turns out that Americans, contrary to what the right-wingers keep saying, were just as intellectually diverse as they are today. And just what is the stance of the Lance and Graal Crew on Christianity? Do we hate it? Absolutely not. But we do distinguish between Christianity and the excesses of religious fundamentalism of any sort. Alicia Freeman and her husband, Rapid Cabot, have been producing Pagan cable access TV for a good number of years. Wanna know what's all involved? Want to win a free reading by Ladiwillow?

Episode 68 -- Standars for Pagan Clergy?
After an hour of the mike checks from Hades, the sound was still crappy, so with apologies to Betsy, Ladiwillow, and Sage, it's just me in the studio today -- a dollar late and a day short (giggle). Snow Wolf and Ivy, two listeners from Kentucky, toured the Lance and Graal Towers on their road trip. Snow Wolf is currently working on an essay about standards for Pagan clergy. He and Ivy shares their thoughts. Ever try to contact a minor in the witchvox contacts? No success? Well, that's just how it is supposed to be. Witchvox co-founder Fritz Jung explains the plight of Pagan youngsters who are sick and tired of being "mentored" by "elders" who just won't take "no" for an answer and why adults have been banned from contacting minors many years ago. Pagan author Theresa Chaze gathered a few friends for an online ritual for world peace. We play portions of it. Musical Guests: Lipstik, Paul Geng Want to win a free reading by Ladiwillow?

Episode 67 -- Fundies in Recovery
Welcome aboard to our new co-host, Sage, who is replacing Daphnea. Most Pagans arrive at their faiths via other religions. In fact, Sage and Jeva used to be born-again Christians. Yes, it's a very curable malady! We discuss our moments of disillusionment with fundamentalism and the long road to understanding that Christian fundamentalism and Christianity are not the same thing. Should there be specific standards for Pagan clergy? If so, what exactly would they entail. The Crew engages in a lively debate about this issue. Want to win a free reading by Ladiwillow?

Episode 66 -- "All Acts of Love and Pleasure" -- an interview with MR Sellars
While the legal battle with the VA continues, Seelena Fox and Roberta Stewart dedicate Sgt. Patrick Stewart's memorial plaque. Scientific paradigms are changing. Interestingly, the gap between science and magick appears to narrow. MR Sellars's super sleuth Rowan Gant used to be just an ordinary witch -- until the dead began to speak to him.

Episode 62 -- Pentacle Quest Update, Pagan Groups and "Problem Children"
Pentacle Quest Update! How do Pagan groups deal with difficult people? We managed to hook up with Selena Fox at a Lady Liberty League fundraiser to receive another update on the Pentacle Quest. Her good friend Mike shares his experience. Musical artist Celia, who wrote the song "Symbol" (the Pentacle Quest's unofficial anthem) talks about how the song became a bit of a coming-out experience. How do Pagan groups best deal with people who have a criminal past -- or people who have psyichiatric conditions? Ministers from three faiths share their views. First, Pastor Dan Lozer of the United Church of Christ offers his insights. Dr. Rev. Sarah Voss, a Unitarian Universalist minister, offers her advice. Finally, Darla Kaye Wynne is a Wiccan priestess with over 17 years experience in the Pagan prison ministry.

It's the fourth year in a row that SFWC, a 501 (c)(3) charity, has done this. Jeva interviewed several people at the Food Festival.

Episode 59 -- Kids, Initiations, Pentacle Quest, Chris Penczak
What does it mean to call yourself an initiate? What responsibility is attached to this title, and what are some of the inner transformations that an Initiate experiences? Betsy and Jeva speak to Siouxland First Wiccan Congregation's brand new Initiates, Sisters Bobie and Amanda. The struggle with the VA to add the Pentacle to its list of approved religious symbols on gravemarkers enters a new phase as the Aquarian Tabernacle Church and the Corellian Nativist Church turn to the ACLU and the court system. Rev. Pete Pathfinder shares his side of the story. Kids are good for the Craft, and the Craft is good for kids. Wiccanings are an excellent way for a Pagan group to formally let them know they belong. Siouxland First Wiccan Congregation recently did such a ceremony for two young girls, "Twiggy" and "Mud." They share their thoughts, insights, and experiences. Christopher Penczak is currently touring the Midwest. Jeva was able to catch up with him in Omaha, NE and chat about the Shamanic aspects of witchcraft.

Episode 58 -- Robert Anton Wilson Support a Proud Moment in Pagan History
Today, it's Betsy and Jeva in the studio, while Ladiwillow is vacationing in Ireland and Daphnea continues with her studies. Meantime, we've recorded a new intro featuring music by True Tribe. With double Wiccanings and dual First Degree Initations, it's been a very busy week in Sioux City. More exciting news may come out of this town soon, but more on this when things are finalized. If the latest Lance and Graal poll proved anything, it proved that Pagans are not good handimen. Jeva, who's hung his share of drywall and who not only owns a table saw, but still has all of his fingers, has embarked on a quest to enlighten the Pagan world in a new segment, "The Pagan Handiman." Many thanks to The Miller Brothers Bluegrass Band for making their music podsafe. Robert Anton Wilson, who suffers from post-polio syndromw, is currently bedridden. The Pagan community has pulled together in an exemplary manner to help him out as he is in dire financial straits. Way to go, Pagans. The community is growing up! Crystal Cherry, whose music has been featured on previous episodes of Lance and Graal, left the music industry last year. She is currently doing volunteer work in Africa. We are featuring her official statement, and we hope to speak to her soon about her experiences, her music, and her spirituality.

Episode 56 -- Pagan Pride 2006!!!
It's Pagan Pride season! Daphnea and Jeva speak with Erin Mackey and Torval Lokison, organizers of this year's Omaha, NE Pagan Pride Event about the history and purpose of Pagan Pride. One year ago, Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in action in Afghanistan. Be sure to light a candle in his memory this week. As the war rethoric becomes more and more confusing, folks from all camps are letting off some pretty whacky zingers. Venezuela's president calls George Bush "the devil," Pervez Musharraf says he was forced into the war on terror, and poor George has a hard time understanding the terms of the Geneva convention. But being in disagreement with the President doesn't mean he's the devil, and Jeva would still rather live in Iowa than in Afghanistan.

Episode 46 -- Honor Our Fallen Soldiers. NOW!
Wiccan soldier Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in action when terrorists shot down his helicopter in Afghanistan in 2005. His widow requested to have a penacle placed on his gravemarker, but the VA refused, saying it was not on the list of "approved symbols." Fair enough? Well, it turns out that the Pentacle has been reviewed since 1997, and six other symbols have been approved in the meantime. We spoke with Sgt. Stewart's widow, Roberta, a genuine American heroine, to hear about her tireless fight to honor her husband's memory -- and ultimately secure all of our rights.

Episode 45 -- Pagan Fundamentalism
This Episode: This time it's Daphnea, Jeva, and Ladiwillow So, why is it that magazines for Pagan men have such a difficult time succeeding in the long run? We start out with a lively discussion about the sort of magazine that might appeal to Pagan men. Turns out Jeva has very different ideas that the women on the crew. It wasn't that long ago that Ben Grugagh published his essay "Wiccan Fundamentalism" on Witchvox. Did Gardner have a broad spectrum of traditions in mind when he introduced the Craft Laws? Lance and Graal isn't the only Pagan Podcast in Iowa. We give Crow of the Crowcast a call and wistfully reminisce about a time when folks still used their manners in the Pagan chat rooms.
