My dad wasn’t a water witch, but he swore by Old Man Marcus.*  8000+ Years of Witching We've been hiring a water witch to dowse for new wells for as long as my farming family can recall. Even deep in our Midwest Bible Belt, it wasn't considered witchcraft. It’s folk wisdom that works. Farmers and homesteaders are a practical lot; they don’t worry about the how. It works, you dig […]
Trees talk, and those close to the earth have known this for lifetimes upon lifetimes. Science is listening now too. Bushcraft & Shrooms Shift Happens (here on the Fringe!) recently interviewed a bushcrafter and psychonaut who, like Thoreau, left the rat race to live in the woods. Towards the end of the show, he shares his thoughts on trees, mushrooms, and more.  Episode 265: https://fringe.fm/shows/shift-happens/ Spinning Vinyl and Macrame In […]
Researchers announced yesterday they've found the world’s oldest known map of the stars. Dating from the 2nd century BC , the map is attributed to the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparcus. Amazingly, it was found hidden behind overlaid ink within later medieval texts found in Egypt. Papyrus and other writing surfaces were valuable and often “recycled" in ancient times, with scribes writing over old text. Today's advanced imaging techniques can […]
This week, I'm not saying that 'evil' as a concept is completely nonexistent, but I'll be taking the time to demonstrate how the arch-devil of Christianity is entirely a "straw-man argument" that not even the source texts backed up until a certain point in history. Like it is with so many other things, this multi-thousand year telephone game brought us all a mix of many different characters like Set, Pan, […]
Welcome back, folks! This week I start the discussion off with some odds and ends, elaborating on a couple points from prior episodes to segue into this one, the philosophy and psychology of God. I also briefly mention the latest Alexisonfire album-- the first one since 2009. It's fantastic and if heavy stoner rock that bleeds slightly into hardcore and blues sounds up your alley, then I highly recommend it. […]
Luemas is a truth speaker, an activist and a hip hop lyricist. Since the early to mid 90's, Luemas has been writing rhymes and was part of an underground hip hop collective. As life went on for him, he took his efforts to the stage (98-04) and became a part-time recording artist. Within that period, life began to transform for him through the use of ancient medicines. Luemas quit the system, tried to live life under his terms, and tried to become completely free. Along his journey, in 1999, he met a former insider of an institution who broke down the way the planet really runs. This information became the platform in which he operated and built from since. He has shared his message through music, and activism. So much data and information over the years compiled within him, so in 2013, Chant it down radio was born as the new platform for the message of complete freedom.
