Episode Details

Do you observe holy days? Or do you ride the wave of holidays?

I think we've all done both over the course of our lives: being mystified and excited by holidays, and then caught up in the sheer repetitive, mundane expectations of holiday commitments.

Much of this has been manipulated by the monster of Commercialism, which has turned the nobler elements of certain celebrations into yet another occasion to buy, to consumer, to discard...

Thankfully, Lara Day has embraced her mission as an advocate for more meaningful, truly sacred commemorations of Nature's cycles.

Lara's 13 Sacred Nights have had a profound impact on my life, not least of all because it was one of my dalliances with an oracle deck. In this episode, I share two stories about my experiences that verified the veracity of their wisdom.

We also discuss: 

• The history of holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving
• Fertile ground for sacred practice
• Synchronicities
• Sacred vs. Profane
• The origins of the 13 Holy Nights
• and much more...

Massive gratitude to Lara for sharing her insights and experiences. I'm happy to share her work HERE as a new call to action to reclaim the spiritual experience of our holy and historical days within the cycle of our Year.
