Episode 3, Earth & Bones:
Welcome to Earth & Magick, where Earth Science and the Craft meet! I am your host, Meical ab Awen.
This is episode 3, Earth & Bones, a narrative episode in which I relate what can happen when you assume that this good earth is solid underfoot. I also provide a brief glimpse into the social complexity of a simple fossil hunt with family; and then there’s the dogs.
So, sit back and listen, I hope you enjoy the show. Read the rest of this entry »

Show Notes for Episode #2 – Deep Time
Welcome to Earth & Magick, where Earth Science and the Craft meet! I am your host, Meical abAwen.
Episode 2, Lost in Time aka Deep Time :sigh:
Although this is the second episode in this series, it is the first in what I call “investigative style”. In this episode I will introduce the geologic concept of “deep time” and talk a bit about how that idea has impacted us.
It won’t be all science, though. To break things up I’ll play some music from some great pagan and non-pagan musicians, and some promos of other podcasts that I listen to and enjoy. And I’ll include a parable from Blackberry Circle, the teaching circle of which I am a student.
So, sit back and listen. I hope you enjoy the show.
Podasting & Researching/Writing Tools
I’m using Audacity and Celtx as my audio editor and scriptwriting tools, respectively. They both take a bit of learning, but are far easier than high-end software, and they’re both FREE! 
While I’m researching the subjects of the ‘casts on the web, I use Evernote to clip the information I think I’ll use later. Then, once I’m ready to start brainstorming the essays, I use MindManager to play with the ideas and create a logical order to the ideas and information floating around my all-too-chaotic mind.
A Halloween Poem for You
I am still working on the second podcast, and will get it completed in October, but thought I would take an hour or two and write a Halloween poem.
Hope you enjoy it!
Listen: a snake in the house
No one told me about all the pinning!
Last weekend I made my own cape. I was VERY nervous ’cause the last time I used a sewing machine it took me a long time to get all the damn thread out of my thumbnail. This time I got away with only a smashed finger!
The cape is black, took 6 yards of material, a LOT of bias tape (I now know what bias tape IS) and 10 hours of work (I was determined to get the damn thing done in 1 sitting). Many thanks to Jen and James for the use of their equipment and their patience. But, you know what? I thought sewing was all about sewing. Nooooooooo! It’s all about pinning! No one told me about all the damn pinning! 42 feet of bias tape takes a LOT of pinning! Still, no blood was shed, although it took a whole 6-pack to get through the ordeal.
I’m gonna look GOOD for Samhain! And if I screw up, it’s going to be hard to find me in the dark…
Wow! Some folks actually have downloaded the show?
Well, of course! Some people will listen to ANYTHING. Still, I’m pleased that 99 downloads have occurred. Thank you! I hope to do better job of the show as this ‘cast continues. Please let me know what works, and what doesn’t and I’ll respond as I can.
