Modern Musings of a Cultured Barbarian

Episode 3 - Let's All Get Naked!!!

In this episode, I discuss the nature of our beliefs. I challenge you, the listener, to identify where your beliefs originate.

Feel free to email me with any comments: OrionSpeaks@gmail.com.

Episode 2 - The Face of Paganism

In episode two, I discuss the responsibilty that we each take on when discussing our spirituality with a non-pagan. I believe that whenever we engage in a conversation or debate of this sort, we become the face of paganism to the other person/people.

Episode 1 - Here we go!!!

I started to scratch the surface on the topic of hunting and spirituality... and how they are tied together in my world. I'm sure that this will cause some folks to speak out, either for or against this activity. I welcome any response, and would be happy to address them on future shows. Please let me know what's on your mind: orionspeaks@gmail.com. You can also find me at myspace.com/Orionspeaks.

The opening and closing music was provided by my alter-ego at myspace.com/jeffmartinezbassist.

About Me:: you can hear the podcast at: PodcastAlley, or use the direct feed: http://orionwitch.libsyn.com/rss.

I am a very ecclectic witch with roots in Wicca and Native American Spirituality. I have boldly walked my path for most of my life. I am a musician by trade, a hunter by choice, and a father by the kind graces of the god and goddess.

I am unapologetic in my beliefs. I am most definitely NOT your text-book witch. My politics lean right, but I yearn for the Republican party that Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln represented, not neccessarily that which is prevalent in our present government. I also consider myself a "cowboy goth". I tend to find myself playing bass for goth bands, but listening to country music on the way to gigs... while driving in my truck adorned with a triple-aspect sticker next to my NRA sticker. Yes, I AM a walking contradiction. It's who I am, and I'm damn good at it. :)

I refuse to argue, but I LOVE a good debate. I truly believe that I can learn something positive from everyone I come in contact with. I walk my path with confidence in what I know, and the knowledge that I still have much to learn.

Favorite Books: I am a very diverse reader. Here are a few authors I can't get enough of: A.J. Drew, Aleister Crowley, Harry Turtledove, Stephen King, Neil Gaimen, Patrick McManus, Stephen Hawking, etc... My all-time favorite fiction novel is "Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard.

Beliefs / Practices: Pagan, Witch, Wiccan, Shaman, Native American Spirituality

Hobbies: Cooking. Music. Anything outdoors: hunting, camping, mountain climbing, etc...

Heroes: Theodore Roosevelt, Ted Nugent, John Williams, Russell Means, Abraham Lincoln, Alexander the Great, Alton Brown

Likes: My favorite thing in the universe is hearing my kids' laughter.

Dislikes: Closed minded hatred is something I will not tolerate.

Episode 1 - Here we go!!!

In this first episode of "The Modern Musings of a Cultured Barbarian" I introduce myself and give a small taste of who I am. I also discovered that speaking into microphone is more intimidating than I thought it would be. Having a sore throat didn't help, but I was determined to get this ball rolling. I started to scratch the surface on the topic of hunting and spirituality... and how they are tied together in my world. I'm sure that this will cause some folks to speak out, either for or agai… Continue

Update...

Episode #1 is now scheduled to hit the internet on Leap-Day!!! Currently, the theme/bumper music is being written and recorded. I have a spiral notebook that is rapid filling up with topics, ideas, and one-liners for the show. I am just waiting for the new microphone to arrive before I get cracking on the meat of this whole venture. As soon as they are ready, I will be sending promo clips out to everyone who has already requested one, and to those who would like one. Here is a sample of things… Continue
