Miracle of miracles, podcast #5 is actually ready to go! In this narrative we’ll look at how there may be more to families playing on the beach at Padre Island than meets the eye.
Music by Nebelhexe and Gabrielle Roth round out the show.
Onna McOuat’s electronica take on Drowsy Maggie is the theme music for this podcast. Thanks, Oona! Drowsy Maggie is an Irish Reel, but rather than let you think that’s all she plays, I’ve requested and gained permission to play several other tracks from her Honey and Holy Water CD.
Omnia NeoCelt has approved my request to play some of their music on the show! Dank u! If you’re not already familiar with Omnia, you should be. You can go here to download example tracks, courtesy of the band.
Drop Black Sky kindly sent me their CD “Ring Pass Not” to pass on to one of y’all. So, I’ll be taking any comments I receive through my contact form and entering their authors into a drawing for the CD. I’ll announce the winner in my blog post and will email you to get your physical address.
Gaia Consort, now Bone Poets Orchestra, have put up most of their music for download here, and given me permission to use their music as well. I just listened to Bone Poets first track, Gathering Light. Nice! Why don’t you go help Chris make things happen, by Adopting a Song!
And then there’s Damh the Bard! What can I say? I love his music and he’s allowing me to play some. Go Damh!
If you like the music you hear on Earth & Magick, why don’t you go to CD Baby, iTunes or some other venue to buy their albums?
I’ll be alternating podcasts between two general formats: narrative and investigative.
Podcast #1 was in narrative format; I narrated an instance of perfect trust between two strangers, united by their love of our good earth. I also went on a bit about what that encounter meant to me and how it illustrates that all too many of us have become scientists in the sterile sense. 
Podcast #2 will be in investigative format. I will address how an appreciation of nothingness is an essential foundation in the science of geology and how that appreciation can inform our earth spirituality. I’ll be delving into earth science a bit, but I hope to make it relevant to my fellow pagans. And I hope to evoke interest and some response from you, as well.
