Episode 27

ARGH!

2009-05-31T10:24:00.000-07:00

I'm having a problem with my new podcast host and it seems I won't be able to upload a podcast until next month. I had my notes and everything ready to do a podcast today. I might do it anyway and upload it when I actually can. My host changed their rate plans (which wasn't a big deal) but they go into effect on the 1st, and I have my plan to renew on the 4th (so I always know I have money to cover it!) and right now, my plan has been put on hold until I set up the new plan. I would do that, but at the moment, I don't have the money to do so! Unless anything happens to change this, it will be June 4th before I can get another episode out. I'm sorry for this confusion and problem.

Double iPod Witch downloads in iTunes?

2009-04-22T13:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, there will be double in iTunes. Why? Because my hosting changed. Switchpod sent all it's users over to Libsyn. So when the feed updated, it sent all the episodes to itunes. You don't need to re-download anything. They are all the same. :) I just wanted to post this in case anyone was confused. I hope to have a new episode out this weekend.

Merry Meet!

In this episode I have some listener feedback, and a book review. The book is If You Want To Be a Witch by Edain McCoy. I also answer a question about picking Wicca names by your number. Here is how I got mine:

I was born August 20, 1968: 8 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 9 +8 = 25 2+5 =7

My number is 7
My Witch name is Brook.
B =2 R =9 O =6 o = 6 K = 2
2 + 9 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 25
2+5 = 7

Use the chart below to figure out your own Wiccan name if you so desire. :)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

If my explanation still has you going, "WHAT?!" just reply here and I'll explain more. :)

I hope you enjoy this episode! Next up is the Samhain episode!

New episode coming this week!

2008-08-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

Last week was really busy for me. My best friend Jinny's grandfather died and his funeral was last Tuesday. I've known this man since I was a little girl, so he was like my second grandfather. Everyone called him "Papa" and I did too. I was sad at his passing, but glad too. He lived a good long life and I know he is having a blast in the Summerlands with his wife and daughter. :)

On Wednesday of last week, I had my 40th ... erm... I mean my 25th birthday... again! LOL! Jinny took me out to eat Wednesday along with her boyfriend, cousin, and her cousin's child. Then on Thursday, Jinny and I went out and did something together.

I swear I don't FEEL 40 and I don't look it either! :p So there! Phooey on YOU 40 You are just a number!

Anyway! I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on. I will be answering everyone's questions and addressing your comments in the show this week. If anyone needs to hear an answer before then, let me know and I'll get right to you!

Blessed Be!
