What if the Ascension is about more than floating into the sky?

The story of Christ’s Ascension is often clouded—by misunderstanding, literalism, and lost context. In this episode, we return to the roots: diving into the mystical tradition that shaped the earliest followers and rediscovering what the Ascension meant in a world where chariots carried prophets through the heavens and names revealed the divine. What if this tale is less about defying gravity and more about taking our rightful place in the cosmos? Join us as we untangle myth from meaning and find a living truth that calls us to rise—here and now.

What if the most famous prayer in Christianity hides a deeper secret?

Most people miss the real tension and spiritual drama at the heart of Mary’s visitation to Elizabeth. In this episode, we unravel the subversive currents beneath the Magnificat, the rivalry of prophets, and the tangled quest for spiritual legitimacy. What if this story is less about perfection and more about wrestling with tradition, power, and the presence of the Spirit in unexpected places? Join us as we trace the hidden threads from ancient myth to mystical prayer, inviting you to feel for the animating force within your own life.

We are the dirt of the earth given breath, given life

What is Christopaganism? It’s a living, breathing faith—an embodied spirituality that refuses to be defined by what it opposes, but rather by the rootedness of practice, the dignity of bodies, and the sacredness of the earth. In this episode, we explore why Christopaganism must remain supple, not rigid—more like a living tree than a stone wall—so it can hold difference, absorb wisdom, and avoid the traps of new fundamentalism. We’ll journey through history, myth, and experience, asking what it means to belong in a village of Christ, to honor the diversity of paths, and to ground our faith in lived relationship with the earth, one another, and the divine. Whether you’re a lifelong seeker or newly curious, this conversation is an invitation to find your place at the table, and to remember: real faith is always embodied.

How do you awaken the Jedi’s gift of contemplative wisdom?

Deep meditation isn’t just for ancient Jedi Masters or mythic Druids—it’s a lost art, quietly preserved and waiting for rediscovery. In this episode, we explore the contemplative practice that transforms confusion into clarity, and scattered thoughts into meaningful insight. Through the lens of both pop culture and spiritual tradition, we invite you to reclaim a skill that can unlock creative solutions, deepen your intuition, and reveal wisdom beneath the surface of everyday life. The path forward is not always easy, but what if the answer you seek is waiting in the stillness between thoughts?

What is the Imperial Church, and how can you tell if you’re in one? In this episode, Charlie and Brian name the powers masquerading as spiritual authority—those that elevate hierarchy over holiness, silence over truth, and control over compassion. Rooted in Christopagan Druidry, they call for a return to the liberating message of Jesus: love without exception, service without domination. This is more than a critique—it’s a vision of what the Church could become when freed from Empire.
