In this episode we talk
about late Llewellyn author Scott Cunningham in A Corner in the
Occult. Many Pagans and or Wiccans often find Scott’s books on
their journey as Pagans. Many find his books on magick and religion
uplifting and at times pertinent to their growing views on life and
existence. We also look into the idea of human flourishing and
happiness and how to create it in one’s life. Are you happy? Are
you flourishing? How would you define and list your values and
virtues? Would you say that they are serving you and your life
beneficially? Learn about virtue and Eudaimonia and how your life
lives up to the teachings of Aristotle and other philosophers. See
how some of the new virtue systems found in modern Paganism stand
in comparison to a tried and true system which comes from Plato as
we find an elementary way to update it for modern use. Later in the
show, I read listener email and we look at the history of the five
elements in The Essence of Magick. Find out where the five elements
of western occultism come from and how they came to be used in
ritual magick. And to close we discuss suicide, assisted suicide
and how they exist in relation to Paganism. Have you ever had
someone in your life kill themselves? Have you ever known someone
who died of a terminal, debilitating, and/or painful illness? How
do the issues associated with suicide and assisted suicide relate
to Paganism?
