Episode Details

At the top of the hour Wencke Braathen returns to the show to discuss her book, Sex on the Altar, a Fairytale for Grownups that starts out with God's problem of missing his wife.  The book addresses topics of sexuality and how it's been degraded and coveredin shame and guilt instead of being understood as one of the greatest gifts God gave us.  We'll delve into Secrets in Sacred Stone - Druid, Cathar and Viking as an exploration of how the teachings of Jesus and Mary Magdalene were preserved through history, the difference between the Celtic and Catholic church. In the second half of the show, Diane Horton discusses Santa and the Goddess, reminding us where Santa is really derived from and how that differs from Church lore.  We'll examine customs and characteristics of the holiday season and Santa as it relates back to the Sacred Feminine and Paganism.
