  • Episode 5 - Chakradance and Dancing with the Divine
    Sep 19 2024

    In podcast episode five, Tava Baird and Jennifer Taylor discuss the spiritual and healing aspects of dance, focusing particularly on Chakradance. They begin with an invocation inviting the energy of goddess Saraswati, emphasizing the importance of dance as a form of expression and healing. The hosts share personal experiences with dance, reflecting on how societal norms often limit its presence in adult lives. They discuss Chakradance, a movement therapy integrating Jungian psychology, chakras, and resonant music, founded by Natalie Southgate. Jennifer shares her transformative journey with Chakradance, detailing how it helped her manage rheumatoid arthritis and regain mobility. The podcast also highlights the broader cultural and spiritual roles of dance, challenging the notion that spirituality must be separate from the physical and advocating for dance as a means to embody one's spirituality.

  • Episode 3: Tava Explains Which Witch is Which
    Aug 30 2024

    Mystical Musings Episode 3: Understanding Witchcraft, Wicca, and Paganism

    In this episode of the Mystical Musings podcast, hosts Tava Baird and Jennifer Taylor delve into the definitions and key differences between Witchcraft, Wicca, and Paganism. They also explore the historical roots of these practices, focusing on figures like Gerald Gardner and Raymond Buckland. The episode discusses the nature of magic, spells, and the divine feminine and masculine, clarifying common misconceptions. The hosts emphasize the importance of terminology and respect within the community, and introduce an invocation to set a sacred space for the discussion. A closing blessing integrating all of the concepts covered and a message from spirit guide Samael is shared towards the end, adding a personal touch to this enlightening episode on mystical traditions.

    Resources:

    From Tava: This is a great (if somewhat overly dramatic) British show on the history of modern witchcraft and Gerald Gardner. Good information, but also gives you an idea of how the general public often views Pagans.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M56-6XA3h2M

    From Tava: I mentioned both Raymond Buckland and Scott Cunningham. Here is a link to a short Youtube video (Part 1) with both of them in it many years ago explaining Wicca to a television audience. Feel free to view Part 2 as well if you are so inclined!
