3:53 Shiara PhoenixfireI’ve been a listener since ep. 10 and haven’t stopped listening since and I just wanted to give you guys a bit of ego stroking and a thank you for giving me an idea for helping out my own community. Thanks to Episode 84, I’ve bloged my views on the situation in my community and have started a movement for change in the way things are going to be run in the city of churches (I kid you not, there’s like two churches to every bar and a bar on every corner how messed up is that?). Thanks to you guys you’ve set in motion a clean-up of leadership that’s been long over due. I’ve included a link to said post if any of you are intrested in reading it, if not, that’s cool too. Just wanted to let you know you guys are really inspireing in your own weird way, and love the random sci-fi refrences, keep up the good work.
6:30 An Anonymous Listener WritesHey, I recently started listening to your podcast, and since you guys seem to be *so* helpful answering questions, I thought I’d ask one. =D

I’m going to be going off to college soon to study embalming. Yep, I’m going to be working in a funeral home, embalming dead people. So…my question is: Do you think I’ll have to go to work everyday in a metaphysical hazmat suit? I’ll be dealing with dead bodies that may or may not have negative energy clinging to them, and there’s also the general energy that tends to hang around a funeral home. Do you have any idea what special care I should take? I know it’s what I want to do, but I have no experience with dead people because, well, they’re dead people. Thanks.

This could also branch into a topic about how being sensitive to energy affects your jobs, and vice versa.

23:15 Gutwrench writesI loved this episode as you read my letter. I have been mulling over some suggestions for topics of discussion. But you scared the shit out of me with your rant’But its all good as I tend to get over confident and I probably need to re-think my thoughts.

So I took a class on Beginerds Reading and learnt how to read.

Now I just need to learn how to type with something other than my ankle.

You are absolutely dead on about people having initiative and gaining knowledge on our own. I have been doing just that and finding so many conflicts amongst writers and believers. Its all so very discerning. I will not give up in trying to find out what Paganism truly is. As I really don’t believe there is one explanation for it. What seemed to be a some what reasonable definition 5 years ago has become ‘fluffy? ‘I guess is the term? .. Therefore Pagans have segregated themselves and eliminated.. or should I say , created a new/additional definition to add to the already HUGE list of ‘PAGANS’

I shall continue to look for my religious stance amongst this world of smacktards and I would love to tell PCP that you all are helping me immensely in my search. I cant get enough of you all. You are like family * feels like a smacktard * as I listen to the podcasts while I work.

I noticed that the title of episode 91 is ‘Single and Lonely’um Ashlee I still, madly want to have yer babies,!

As a token of my love I am currently working on a genetically altered chicken (egg) with hopes of it becoming a raptor, with a hello kitty head with purple pom poms of fire as claws on its arms’and I have this cute half shirt, that will go down to it’s belly button’and on the shirt is a HUGE smiley face.

Dave .. when yu are angry, your voice morphs into a new yorker.

Thanks guys I do indeed love you all!

one suggestion I might be able to give for Topics..
Conspiracy Theorists, are they just another branch of Paganism?
* feels stupid *
26:10 You cannot put one label on all Pagans, we are a large and diverse group
26:40 Finding the thing that works for YOU
27:40 Once you go away from the norm once, the chances of going away from the norm increases exponentially
28:38 People go from one end of complete conformance to the other end, back and forth like a pendulum
30:15 Apathy leads to sanity
31:00 Mike writeshey i love ur podcast so much i have one simple request could u do a second herbalism episode with better sound quality cause ive tried to listen to it 3 times now and there r parts where u sound like charlie browns teacher and its kind of annoying cause its something that interests me
32:07 A. Sailor writesGreeting’s PCP.
I would first like to say that you guys have a great show. My wife and I are regular listeners and enjoy it very much.

Now down to the reason for this email. A ship in the Navy will be holding an All faiths worship service. I know what you are thinking…all christian faiths worship service. I thought so to until I received an invitation to be one of the speakers for the service. and that I have been asked to read a pagan prayer for the service that I had submitted. It’s not much but it seems like a huge step for the military from what I’ve seen in my time in. I’ve been a follower of the pagan faith for 16 or so years, when I could finally put a name to my beliefs. the service will also have a Muslim and a Hindu speaker, a Jew, a Jehovah’s witness and a Roman Catholic. Although I found it vastly amusing that the only three that showed up for the first meeting where the pagan the muslim and the hindu. It sounds like the start of a good joke…but I haven’t figured out the punch line yet.

Keep up the good show and I’ll keep listening :)

34:11 Gutwrench writes us again:episode 8——- i think… When I listened to the intro I was greatly enraged. It left me weeping. Feeling even more lost and hopeless. Makes me think of what is going wrong with the positive stuff people like PCP and many others are trying to embrace and share. a perspective.. I want to make a difference and challenge all who defy love as being part of our soul. But..inside I am afraid of being ” Ganged up on ” and have all of my positive energies and drive and ambitions .,. become shattered. Maybe its because of the rules and limits put on society as we mature and try to interact as independently thinking humans. But I know I do and say more in my own mind than I do in actuality. which leads me to believe theres more like me out there than I realize. Like PCP i think of how I can reach to these peoples and communicate so a real difference can be made. then….. episode 8 happens and pushes me back into my shell where i think its safe. Where I am going with this , I am not sure. Maybe if you guys see there are many more out here like yourselves, who need brave souls like yourselves, to make us stronger and more confident. Enabling us to do our part. Episode 8′s into made me cry and become very upset. But listening to you guys made me aware that there is a way to beat that kind of negativity down. Not physically but in my own way of feeling. I want to thank you all for the information and confidence building you do. I know I speak for many who are soon to open up and tell you these same words. Thanks for helping me be me. When people we know and love as well as ourselves devote entire lives to a certain religion or belief and it fails us…. its and automatic DE-evolutionary response to become reserved, afraid and paranoid to find ourselves again. I hope PCP doesnt think ima wak!
