New Pagan/Paranormal Radio Show
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 (17:19:06) (59 reads)
Pierce the Darkened Veil of Mystery with ISIS Paranormal Radio
(July 3, 2008) On July 6, ISIS Paranormal Radio Show will air its first official show! ISIS Paranormal Radio is co-hosted by Dayna Winters and Patricia Gardner, the co-founders and co-directors of ISIS Paranormal Investigations, a team that investigates paranormal claims in the New York, Vermont and Massachusetts areas. The first show will involve an interview with the successful film director Michael Baker, the director of 14 Degrees: A Paranormal Do(edited)entary, which has sold in every state and in 16 countries around the world.
Patricia and Dayna are from Upstate New York, and have had a paranormal team actively involved in investigating hauntings and alleged paranormal activity for the past five years. Previously appearing on the Discovery Channel’s A Haunting, as well as in the 14 Degrees film, The ISIS Paranormal Investigation team is well known in the paranormal community. ISIS Paranormal Radio is being featured on blogtalkradio.com, a site that has expanded the traditional blog and allows bloggers to host a talk show based on the topic of their selection. The format of ISIS Paranormal Radio merges the topics of paganism and the paranormal to allow for discussion of some topics of incredible interest including topics pertaining to Wicca, the occult, hauntings, electronic voice phenomena, ghosts, spirits, and a variety of topics related to the unexplained. When speaking of future plans, Dayna and Patricia announced that they will also be offering special workshops in the future: mini-workshops pertaining to coven management and group dynamics as well. Patricia and Dayna state:
“We are extremely excited about the upcoming guests we have in the coming months! We are in the process of booking authors, people with extensive experience in the paranormal field, and people that are active members of various pagan communities. We also appreciate the fact that by hosting a Internet radio show, we are able to reach people from around the globe.”
ISIS Paranormal Radio will air every Sunday at 6 PM EST, and the tagline of the show is “break free from the fear, pierce the darkened veil of mystery.” The co-hosts selected the tagline to express exactly what kind of talk show they are in the process of developing; one where people can, with an open mind and without fear of ridicule, discuss highly controversial topics. The show’s co-hosts want future listeners to note that the show won’t be all doom and gloom simply because the paranormal is part of the show’s format; Pat and Dayna assert that there are plenty of positive aspects about pagan spirituality, and spirituality in general that will be discussed too.
To tune into the show, anyone can listen via the Internet at:

Thousands mark summer solstice
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, June 21, 2008 (12:05:11) (82 reads)
Some 30,000 people celebrated the summer solstice as dawn broke at Stonehenge in Wiltshire.
Druids, hippies and sun-worshippers were among those who gathered to watch the sun rise at the ancient stone circle at 0458 BST on the longest day.
Rainy conditions obscured the sunrise but the turnout was still the highest in five years.
Police said the event was peaceful, with 17 arrests overnight for public order offences.
As the dawn broke a cheer went up from revellers who gathered at the Heel stone - a pillar at the edge of the prehistoric monument.
Unemployed John Tarbuck, 33, from Bude, Cornwall, set up a small tent party next to his car.
"The best thing about Summer Solstice at the 'henge is you get to meet loads of new people," he said.
"All the people here at my tent party, I've never met before."
Another man, dressed in a black hooded top, who gave his name as Cathbad, said: "It's a beautiful experience. It's about celebrating nature, life and what makes the world go round. "It's a little bit too heavily organised, with too much intervention from the establishment, but I'll keep coming back.
"It's all about the feeling you get when the sun bursts through the stone."
A spokeswoman for English Heritage, which runs the 5,000-year-old site, said the last time a turnout of 30,000 was achieved was in 2003.
"It's been very wet and soggy," she said. "Probably a few disappointed people, many streaming out before sunrise because it was so wet and cold.
"I don't think it will discourage people from coming again. Quite a few people come every year and are quite hardy."

Mysterious pits shed light on forgotten witches of the West
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 10, 2008 (14:25:10) (203 reads)
Evidence of pagan rituals involving swans and other birds in the Cornish countryside in the 17th century has been uncovered by archaeologists.
Since 2003, 35 pits at the site in a valley near Truro have been excavated containing swan pelts, dead magpies, unhatched eggs, quartz pebbles, human hair, fingernails and part of an iron cauldron.
The finds have been dated to the 1640s, a period of turmoil in England when Cromwellian Puritans destroyed any links to pre-Christian pagan England. It was also a period when witchcraft attracted the death sentence.
Jacqui Woods, leading the excavations, has not traced any written or anecdotal evidence of the rituals, which would have involved a significant number of people over a long period. There are no records of similar practices anywhere else in the world.
Ms Woods, an archaeologist who has advised on the discovery in 1991 of Europe’s oldest human mummy, the “Iceman”, in an Alpine glacier, has been digging at the site at Saveock Water for the past eight years. Saveock Water was, in the 17th century, a community of five houses whose occupants worked at a nearby mill.
Human occupation of the site dates to prehistoric times but some of the activity uncovered was more recent. A stone-lined spring that may have been a “holy well” was full of offerings from the 17th century, including 125 strips of cloth from dresses, cherry stones and nail clippings.
There was evidence that the well had been filled and the site destroyed to hide what went on there.
Each of the feather pits, which are“ about 40cm square by 17cm deep (15 by 6in), have been carefully lined with the intact pelt of one swan and contain other bird remains.
The pits where the contents were intact also contained a leaf parcel holding stones that experts have traced to Swanpool beach, 15 miles (24km) away, an area famed for its swan population. Ms Woods said: “Killing a swan would have been incredibly risky at this time because they are the property of the Crown.”
There was a particularly macabre discovery in one of the feather pits: fifty-seven unhatched eggs ranging in size from a bantam to a duck. They were flanked by the bodies of two magpies, birds that have long been the subject of superstition in Cornish folklore. The organic remains survived because they were preserved in the water-logged ground. Although the shells of the eggs had dissolved, the membrane remained, revealing chicks shortly before they were due to hatch.
Ms Woods said: “A lot of the paganism of the Celts was wiped out by the Romans, but not in Cornwall.
“Swan feathers had a connection with fertility. It’s possible these offerings were being left. Then, if there was a conception, nine months later the person would return to empty the pit.
“Often when secret rituals are abandoned people will talk about ‘things that were done in my grandmother’s day’ but there has been no whisper of this. It really makes me wonder whether that is because it is still going on.”
Ms Wood will deliver a paper on the feather pits at the World Archaeology Conference in Dublin in June.
Burnt, hanged and drowned
— The pits were created in the 17th century when the law stated “thou shalt not suffer a witch to live”
— Thousands of women, the vast majority innocent, were burnt, hanged or drowned
— The first Witchcraft Act was passed in 1541
— In the mid-16th century, when it was believed that the plague was the work of sorcery, persecution of witches reached a frenzy The death penalty for witchcraft ended in 1735
— Last week the Scottish Parliament was asked to approve a pardon for the 4,000 people killed
— The last person to be convicted was Jane Rebecca Yorke, a medium who was fined £5 in 1944 for claiming to be able to contact dead servicemen

No Tunnel for Stonehenge
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 07, 2007 (17:20:30) (286 reads)
Plans to build a road tunnel under Stonehenge have been scrapped, the government said on Thursday, raising fears that nearby traffic could damage the ancient World Heritage Site.
After years of argument over how to ease congestion around the stone circle in Wiltshire, ministers said they had decided that a tunnel would cost too much.
Environmental campaigners, road groups, archaeologists and druids who worship at the site have argued for decades over how best to protect it from the thousands of cars that pass each day on two busy roads.
Built between 3,000 and 1,600 B.C. as a temple, burial ground, astronomical calendar or all three, the stone circle has been described as "Britain's pyramids."
Thousands of revelers and druids converge there on the summer solstice — the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere — to watch the sun rise.
Transport Minister Tom Harris said he could not justify spending 540 million pounds on a 1.3 mile tunnel, adding: "(It) would not represent best use of taxpayers' money."
The Liberal Democrats said the decision not to divert traffic was made after a "decade of dither and delay" by the government and could damage Stonehenge.
"It puts a UNESCO World Heritage Site at risk of damage from the ever-increasing volume of traffic," said the party's Arts and Culture spokesman Dan Rogerson.
English Heritage, the public body which looks after the site, said the decision not to build a tunnel was a "huge disappointment."
David Holmes, chairman of the RAC Foundation, a motoring charity, said: "The government has condemned Stonehenge to further environmental damage and the A303 (road) to chronic congestion."
But campaign group Save Stonehenge, which opposes the tunnel, welcomed the decision, saying: "Christmas has come early."
"No one with any sense wanted a tunnel, a flyover, a dual-carriageway, and two whacking great interchanges here," its spokesman Chris Woodford said. "It's just not acceptable to build 1950s-style motorways in places like this any more."

Animal Ghosts
Posted by senua on Monday, October 23, 2006 (10:14:48) (604 reads)
NOT too long ago, a horse carrying a Civil War soldier appeared on the misty Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania. Thinking the horse and rider were actors, a tourist spoke to them. But the two just stared—then disappeared.
Cindy Codori-Shultz hears stories like this all the time. "We have ghost sightings so often that it doesn't really spook us—anymore," says the owner of Sleepy Hollow of Gettysburg Candlelight Ghost Tours.
