Welcome back Nightbirds! This is another one that I expect we might get some flack for but, again, I think it's an important conversation especially with the current astrology going into the foreseeable future. I've been grifted before, and it caused me to make some unwise decisions that led to a lot of material difficulty. Is it good magic to be hoodwinked? Let's dive into this topic!

What is a grifter? Is it a learning experience to be tricked? How can we open our minds and experience new realities without falling for the schemes of those who would part us with our hard earned coin? Angela, Lindsay, and I discuss all these topics, and more. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Welcome back Nightbirds! On this episode we continue our Rune Walk Saga, covering the runes Eihwaz, Perthro, and Valkyrie Hlökk. Lindsay and I are rejoined by Luis Galindo and Matt Hughes. With these mysterious runes, we enter into some of the divisive discussions about interpretation. What is the true meaning of Perthro - dice cup or cosmic womb? Is Yggdrasil a Yew tree? We discuss these questions and many more. We talk about the connection of specific gods to specific runes. Is that a hard and fast rule? Finally, we discussed our experiences in journey and trance with the Valkyrie Hlökk - who left a unique and lasting impression on us.

Welcome back Nightbirds! On this episode, we discuss the mythopoetics of conspiracy. When is this type of thinking best suited? When is it less skillful? When to wax poetic, and when to take action. Can we do both? How can we navigate the post-truth madness of Time Wave Zero with our sanity (and our material conditions) not only intact, but flourishing?

This is another tough one that we think needs to be discussed at this time. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
