Here it is Folks! Episode 9!

In this episode I talk about ritual.

Yeah...not much more for me to say here... ;^)...I think I've said it all on the show.

Episode 10 and 11 are going to be covering my foray in to Satanism and my relationship with the Faeries. Let me know which one you'd like to hear first.

Brightest Blessings, lovely people!

Hi Folks!

Hi folks!

You may be wondering why I haven't put a show up for a while...

Well, from about mid May to the end of June we have been wrapped up in buying a house. It's our first crack at home ownership and it has been quite an experience...awe-inspiring I'd have to say. We've been counting our blessings and giving thanks.

The next episode is being cooked up---in my head at least---and will come out ASAP.

Now back to unpacking boxes...getting ready for a massive garage sale...re-arranging the counters in the kitchen...painting...cleaning gutters...dealing with electricians...getting the tile roof serviced....sheesh!

All Blessings Be!

Hello All!

I hope that Spring finds you all well. In this Episode I describe what I think of Him and Her.

This Episode is a bit of an experiment in "field recording". I've captured some nature sounds and the sound of a crackling fire. I have a new laptop and microphone that seem to be working well, aside from the weirdness that got picked up while recording the segment on the God. Ahh, I'll eventually get used to the idiosycracies of these new tools.

Let me know what you think!

Hello, lovely people!

A little note to let you know that I'll have a show out in the next week or so.

It's a busy time. Life is charging up with these lengthening days. Birds are singing, frogs are croaking and gettin' busy making tadpoles, the air is bright with just enough cool in it to remind us of the winter behind us.

Enjoy this time of awakening and promise!

With love and all other blessings,

--Jay O'

P.S.--check out the added links to the left. Pagan Connection and the Pagan Podcast Index are wonderful resources!

Hi!

Here it is...Episode 6! In this episode I talk about the "Original Wound" and the gay alternative to "polarity" that Hyperion of the Unnamed Path podcast calls "resonance".

I also include a belated St. Paddy's Day bonus...me performing at a St. Patrick's gig about five years ago that managed to get recorded.

The show was recorded on my new computer so it sounds different...think I need a new microphone, too... ;^)

Alban Eiler/ Spring Equinox blessings to you all!

Hi!

For the longest time I've told myself that I will get a promo for the show up on the feed.

Well, here it is...finally!

Stay tuned...I'm working on Episode 6 right now.

All Blessings Be!

Hi Folks!

Here it is...the next episode with a few unscripted "ums" and "ahhs" thrown in for good measure.

I talk about an experience I had with a past life regression tape when I was 14 years old. I talk about reincarnation and a little bit about fate vs. free will.

Hope you like it.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let you know that I've been a bit stuck lately...writer's block mostly...but I'm working on having something out soon.

I may resort to recording..."off the cuff"...if I can't hammer out a script. That just may be enough to break this silly dam that's holding up the creative flow.

Blessings galore!

Hey folks,

Here it is...Episode 4! I'm so sorry that it's coming out late...I wanted it out no later than the 10th...but I'm so happy that I've beat the arrival of the Winter Solstice.

On this Episode I talk about literalism, I share an experience that helped me get away from literal thinking, I do a whole lot of "shouting out" to the Podkin, I respond to emails, I share another of Robin Skelton's "Words for Witches", and I talk a bit about Yule and Mother's Night.

Thanks for listening...all the Blessings of the Solstice, Yule, Alban Arthan, and Mother's Night be upon you.

And a Happy New Year!

All Blessings Be!

Sorry folks!

Due to a computer malfunction, that has left me angry enough to end the life of this lame assed lap top with an eight pound maul, I won't be putting out a show this weekend...

Yes....I'm...going to breath...it will come out...yes...

BB,

Hi folks!

I'd hoped to have an episode out for you by today...no such luck!

I'll have it out this weekend...if I haven't lost power in the snowstorm we're expecting this weekend.

All Blessings Be!

Hi folks,

I'd like to draw your attention to a new addition to the links. This new link will take you to the website of Alison Skelton who is one of Robin Skelton's daughters. She has been involved in Wicca since before her father...Robin, while a worker of spells for many years didn't embrace Witchcraft as a religion until relatively late in his life.

 She is a visual artist (check out her stunning paintings!), a healer, counsellor, teacher, a founding Priestess of the Thirteenth House Mystery Tradition, founder of the Oroboros project that works to bring together those who wish to work in a group context (focused in the Victoria, B.C. area right now), and an Eclectic Shaman, currently training in "Core Shamanism".

I haven't met Alison in person yet...I'm hoping to partake in one or more of the many courses that she teaches over in Victoria. Please check out her site and get a glimpse of her fascinating, unique path.

Remember your Muse this weekend!

All Blessings Be,

--Jay O'

(clutches pointy hat in hands, looks guiltily at the floor...)

I forgot to mention someone who wrote an email to me shortly after the release of Episode 2. This is someone who has been mentioned more than once on many podcasts.

Thanks to HedonsDog for the great email! He had kind words for the show, was able to point me to the podcast alley URL for Witchery of One, and was able to tell me that Deo and Mandy's lives were taking them away from podcasting.

All Blessings Be!

Here it is...Episode 3!

In this episode I share a frightening experience with the Conjuration of the Watcher from the "Simon" Necronomicon.

I do a few shout-outs, share another of Robin Skelton's "Words for Witches" and talk a bit about "Musemass".

I also give a very brief description of what a "tuque" (pronounced "too-k") is to my non-Canadian listeners.

Check out the links below to explore the weird and wonderful world of the Necronomicon...

Hi folks,

I hope that the approach of Samhain finds you well and whole!

I'd hoped to release the story of my dabbling with the "Simon" Necronomicon for Hallowe'en, but that is not likely to happen. Perhaps in the next week. (This is a tongue-in-cheek recollection of a quite frightening experience, folks...despite the fact that the "Simon Necronomicon" is itself a "hoax".)

Please go and vote for the Wigglian Way at the Podcast Awards...Mojo and Sparrow deserve a win...and as Mojo said on the recently released Episode 41 a vote for them is a vote for the Goddess (She will not likely be represented by any of the other podcasts in the Religion and Inspiration category).

All Blessings Be!

In this episode I make some corrections/additions for episode 1, I throw in my two cents worth on the whole Wicca vs. Witchcraft debate, I name a few of the books on my mother's shelf when I was 14 (by such authors as Madame Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce and Torkom Saraydarian), I talk about "Helping Yourself with White Witchcraft" by Al G. Manning, I introduce the "Skeltonian" feast of Eldmas, and I close with another of Robin Skelton's "Words for Witches".

I hope you like...

All Blessings Be!

I wanted to upload an image of "the Sorcerer" that is featured in Positive Magic. I remember the "statue" I made out of cardboard was copied from this image. It's to the far right of the picture.
Included (to the left) is the statue made by British artist Neil Sims. I bought the statue as an unfinished cast resin piece through Frontier Models and painted it myself as well as made a new base out of clay with an inset quartz crystal. Finished pieces are also available through various UK occult shops. Just Google "Neil Sims, Horned God, statue".

After searching around for a statue of the Horned Lord this was the one that best fit the way I see Him.

All Blessings Be!

After much twiddling and fiddling, grunting and groaning, cussing and hair pulling I've managed to re-modifiy my Libsyn template so that I can now easily upload posts and you lovely folks can leave your comments!

Happy Fall Equinox/Alban Elfed/Mabon!

All Blessings Be!

So after posting the first episode of the podcast I realize that there are a few things that I would revise, but won't for the sake of not confusing iTunes or Podcast pickle:

first off, I would reduce the levels for the music so that the vocal track comes through clearer...

next I would actually talk more about the origins of the word "Wicca" as I believe Marion Weinstein called it "directly translated from the Celtic...", I think its origins are in fact Anglo-Saxon...

Next I would mention that Marion Weinstein has about 20 videos up on YouTube...she's one vivacious lady!...check out the video where she's reciting anti-Bush poetry with the Traveling Band of Gypsies...

Welcome to the first episode of the Witchery of One, a podcast that focuses on the experiences, practices, and opinions of one witch...me! In listening to so many great podcasts out there in Witchdom a desire to contribute something of my own has grown. I am particularly fond of a few podcasts: Deo's Shadow, the Crooked Path, and the Wigglian Way are my favourites. There are many other great podcasts out there and I hope to get familiar with them over time, but right now I focus on getting up to speed on these three.
I'm a busy guy with a full life. I live on one of the Gulf Islands that separates Vancouver Island from the B.C. Mainland...yup, that's right, Mojo and Sparrow, I'm a B.C. boy and fellow Canuck.

I hope you enjoy it,
All Blessings Be!
