Spring is Gonna Be HOT!

Sad news is, our friends at The Spider Web in Dania Beach, Florida, will have to close their doors. The good news? Now, they have the time to take up on all the invitations they've accrued from across the Deep South to visit and enjoy events and festivals. So, watch out! Mr. and Mrs. Spider Web are ready to roam and revel!

The webcast radio show was something of a quandry, though. How to keep up radio presence without having the responsibility? The solution was to allow the hosts of CFTP to manage the station. So, when this information was presented to us, the first thing we did was contact all of our distinctive associates, affiliates and acquaintances; asking them if they'd like to join the foray at Third Eye Live Radio Productions on Blog Talk radio.

You can still enjoy "Nightbreed Paranormal" on Thursday nights; "Get Motivated" with positive life-coach JDOGG on Monday nights. "Conversations from the Porch" will continue to streak its proverbial fingernails down the polytheist chalkboard on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.

Also, if you missed the post, "Conversations from the Porch" has CFTP Merchandise for sale!

But... April is gonna get HOT! So far, we've confirmed a new one-hour special show that will happen every month (on a Tuesday / TBA) by everyone's favorite "Pagan Dad": Patrick McCleary.

He also started and moderates the Pagan Village a place for Pagan parents to network with, and support each other. He is also the founder of The Pagan Household, started with the idea of giving back to the wider community.

Also joining the conversations hosted by TEL, is Mary from "Yogasana with Mary". She will be bringing her distinctive Yogasana lifestyle management system to the airwaves. Each week, Mary will discuss all manner of technique and diet to support your own unique body-mind-spirit connections.

When further information is available about our other proposed shows, a complete schedule will be posted. Until then, TEL Radio Productions and Hrafnstong Heathen Community (the hosts of CFTP) want to welcome Patrick and Mary to our broadcast family!

Cultural rape, misconceptions about "Amercican" culture (NASCAR), and a lot of other miscellany... including what Hrafnstong Man-making rites are, the future of 3rd eye radio and ...? ...? What didn't we talk about?? Thanks to TN for calling in!!

Nose to the Grind

Been a while. Yes. However, with as busy as our winter season gets, it is not so surprising! And, here we are, again... Going round and round on the rollercoaster. So, what's new for 2012?

OMG! If anything were set in stone, yet, I would blab it all; but, nothing is. YET...

So, here's as good a teaser that you're going to have:

Feb 19th: "Open Porch"... Call in and chat us up about some of the things you've heard on the show. I mean, we've interviewed a Proto-Indo European reconstructionist, Swain Wodening, Victoria Claire, Aed Ruadh, Rev. Alicia Lyon-Folberth... Gladsheim popped in, once. Want to know more about us - these weirdos on air you can't seem to stop listening to? Chat us up! Toll free number: (877) 230-4233.

Mar 4th: "TBA"... Morlog, Ik and Uruzz are supposed to attend a mini-moot this weekend, and "Sparky" might just have to host her own show. We're still discussing the topics, but, she's the astrology / crystal- NErd. You never know!

Mar 18th: "Celtic Cluster Feck"... The Ik and Sparky are slated to chat up some of Celtic Reconstructionisms leading authors in lieu of Saint Patty's Day. Ellen E. Hopman, Deiniol Jones and Erynn Rowan Laurie have already confirmed their participation. Now, if we can get our hands on a reputable Fey specialist...

THIS is where it gets hairy, because around this time we should have some extra, super-duper programs lined up for TEL Radio Productions. (We're just awaiting our potential- and future-hosts to conduct some serious contemplation, and confirm their participations.) As expected from the CFTP hosts, nothing will be 'mainstream', 'normal', or boring! (Ik's promise.)

There are some shows that need a little tweaking, but, this is a general listing of what to expect in future from your CFTP broadcasts:

"Would UPG - FU?" ... A debate (or, debaucle?) with cutting edge guests talking about "unsubstantiated personal gnosis" and the effect(s) on modern reconstructionism and practices.

"So Mote It Be, Devotee!" ... The pros and cons of devoting oneself to a particular god and their nuances; realistic expectations and the seriousness of oath-binding.

.... And, music! We're amassing permissions for a better "Uruzz Rocks" segment. Hang on to your hats, listeners. No poor-quality, backyard jam sessions allowed! (You can find those on other "pagan" programs.)

So, stay tuned in to see what TEL Radio Productions and the hosts of CFTP have in store for you... It only gets better from March.

SPARK THE FIRES!

JAN 1, 2012: "Recon Calendarium" Episode

Conversations from the Porch 01/01 by Third Eye Radio Blog Talk Radio

Morlog, Ik and Uruzz discuss the various ancient calendars of the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Norse and Celtic cultures - including how days began and months and years evened out.

Just a recap of the Hrafnstong Heathen Community's 18th Annual Yule Party... and, some hung-over singing.

On The Porch in 2012

Besides the supposed "end of the world" in December, there are a few things we, at CFTP wanted to share with you - our crazy listeners:

As soon as possible, the CFTP online store will be operational (our projection, is by the end of January). Steins, shirts, and the infamous "recon calendarium" will be available for purchase.

We're slotted to attend the Florida Pagan Gathering for Beltane 2012... on a broadcast weekend. We will be contacting our sponsors at TEL Productions to see if we can schedule a Saturday night slot; this way we can broadcast live, directly from the FPG!

Upcoming Episodes...

2012's first broadcast is January 1st - on New Year's Day is the "Recon Calendarium". We will be discussing northern European time-keeping and lunar significance to holy observations.

February's second broadcast is our quarterly special, "Wyrd from the Web". We will be conversing with Ms. Victoria Clare from The Troth; as well as, another fine and famous heathen who shall remain nameless (so as to keep you all on the edges of your seats).

March ushers in some madness the Sunday after St. Patty's Day with the "Celtic Cluster Feck" episode. This show will feature some of the most established figures in Celtic Reconstructionist paganism and representing the various paths of CelticR.

April 1st - All Fool's Day - will be an "Open Porch" broadcast. All "Open Porches" are subject to our listeners' feedback; questions, comments and complaints. The phone lines are open, and you are encouraged to bring up anything you wish to address from previous shows, or, whatever other pagan / heathen things you'd like to!

Another agenda will be forthcoming.

Until then, keep tuning in for all the mayhem and action as we have various characters and icons stopping in for Conversations from the Porch!

CFTP Episode: "Yule P.I.E. - The first slice of N. European Winter Celebration"

"Yule P.I.E. - The first slice of Northern European Winter Celebration" [Link above]

Guest caller, Helga Sagen, discussed some ancient proto-indo-european roots to our modern X-mas and Yule festivities.

Our goal is simple, no one should need to be without community simply because of their service to their country. Many military Heathens are just a stone’s throw away from others, but just don’t realize it. So we are trying our best to offer a link to those folks.
