Eat My Pagan Ass - Pagan Podcast

JUDGMENT DAY XXI: The Return of Judgment Day

(Sequel to "Judgment Day XX: Here It Is Again (and THIS TIME It's for REAL, We Promise")

It's the same old bullshit since the day anyone walked around claiming to be a prophet: follow some jokester, swallow his bull hook, line, and sinker, give him all your money, sell everything you own, leave your families, and tell everyone the world is coming to an end. When will people learn? Is it self-loathing that turns them against this world, their loved ones, and themselves? What kind of escapist fantasy nightmare are they giving themselves over to, and for what? How does this contrast with the pagan worldview?

Luckylicious talks about loony fundamentalist fringe-heads and acknowledges there's more to be learned from their behavior than you might realize at first. Also in this very special episode Lucky interviews the very talented artist and witch, Silkie Lyrazel, high priestess of the Grailwood Coven in New York City. Silkie shares her insights into the Faerie Tradition, bardic work, ritual drama, living with familiars, staying attuned to nature and the realm of Faerie, and even dishes on True Blood and her vampire/goth fascination. Silkie and Lucky talk about ethical living and how pagans can walk the talk a bit more, as well as take pride in our convictions and stand up for ourselves in the face of persecution, discrimination, and threats of physical violence.

Recorded April 3, 2011 and May 21, 2011 ++ Published May 21, 2011

Carmen drops a bomb on Eat My Pagan Ass in this episode!!  She's leaving the show to travel the world with some crazy band of "famous" pagans (she won't say who) doing miracles in places of need.  It's all very mysterious, and Lucky wonders if Grannylicious has anything to do with it.  Speaking of Grannylicious, EMPA fan Fire Lyte reveals a tasty tidbit of gossip -- tho we'll save most of his story for another podcast.  Lucky is distraught about what's to come...or is he?  Maybe he planned this all along.  Maybe Carmen was just getting in the way of his glory.  In the meantime, we dish about fallen fashion icon John Galliano and his wicked Nazi ways. (Shame on you, buttercup! Lay off the sauce, sober up, own up, and move on! -- Take it from Lucky, who celebrates three years of sobriety this week!)

Lucky and Carmen also share some stories of how they have both had run-ins with the po-po lately...wtf?  No one went to jail, so things are looking up.  Hope springs eternal, and well that was another lame segue -- BLESSED SPRING EQUINOX all you fan-freaking-tastic EMPA listeners!!!

THIS IS NOT THE LAST EPISODE!  MORE IS ON THE WAY!!!

Blessed Yule, pagan ass eaters!! It's the winter solstice with a kick: total lunar eclipse! Whahoo! That means anything goes, and it DOES in this episode of Eat My Pagan Ass pagan podcast.  Lucky is a single gay pagan AGAIN (don't worry--he's okay with that) and Carmen has the hots for some guy and this time actually works up the nerve to talk to him. (It's progress, not perfection, right?)

We touch one last time (for now) on the passing of Lucky's dear friend, Glitterpussy, and the pagan implications of death and, apropos to the season, rebirth. Friends are among our most valued treasures, so treasure them! Chanukah schmooze 2010! We respond to some listener emails, which include tarot and rune readings, before heading out to Rockefeller Center to gaze upon the giant painted-up Yule tree and make fun of NYC tourists (keep coming back! we love you!) Lots of musical interludes in this episode, so enjoy!

This episode is a follow-on to Eat My Pagan Ass episode 35, which featured an interview with pagan music artist and one of Lucky's best friends in the glamorverse, Glitterpussy. Tragically, Glitter (or Allyson, her given name), passed away unexpectedly on November 5, 2010. Episode 35 was aired as the August 2010 interview was intended, letting Glitter speak for herself in her own words, and including no mention of her passing.

In this episode, we hear the tale of how Glitter and Lucky met in July 2002 at the Starwood Festival, an annual pagan gathering and celebration that was held at the Brushwood Folklore Center in Sherman, NY (now at Wisteria in Ohio). Be transported back across space and time to this pivotal moment when two stars collided and began a spiral dance in one of the world's most magical places.

Lucky shares his feelings about losing a dear friend, and also delves into the uncomfortable subject of what happens when we pass over--not only for the soul in transition, but also for everyone else left behind.  It's not all laughs in this episode, but Lucky does share some of the beautiful gifts of healing spirit Allyson/Glitterpussy gave to those around her.  Through this podcast, you may be touched, too, by this very special, beautiful being whose laughter and love will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Music in this episode includes:

• Drummers of Starwood 2009
• La Turbulente - Sonata 7 / Bellerofonte Castaldi
• La Turbulente - Sonate Duodecima. Sopra "La Bergamasca"/Salamone Rossi
• Shira Kammen - An Dro Nevez (www.magnatune.com)
