Kakophonos

August 12th, 2010.  Isaac Bonewits’ Greater Feast. 

Here is the long delayed episode.  Finally!  First, Rikki gives us a lame excuse for the show’s lateness, actually blaming a god for his own shortcomings.

Rikki raves about Kaleidoscope Gathering and Wiccanfest festivals that we attended, and the Firedance Drumming festival that we lamentably didn’t.

The Standing Stone and Garden Gate Podcast also attended the festivals, and we strongly recommend that you listen to their last 3 episodes: a two-parter about Kaleidoscope Gathering, and a memorial episode dedicated to Isaac Bonewits: http://www.stonegatepodshow.net/

This is the day that Isaac Bonewits passed into the Great Here And Now.  Rikki shares the words of a couple of Isaac’s Dearest: Phaedra Bonewits and Ian Corrigan.

Next, is the further installment of the Vril Stein Brue Commercial saga, titled Schweine Kops.  Oraia Sphinx of Media Astra Ac Terra podcast and Cinnabar Blayde of Godbox Cafe podcast make cameo appearances in the commercial.  Can you spot them?

Next, Panthea explores hand percussion around a bon fire with a segment of their piece Fire Jam, while crickets get into the groove.

This kick-starts our percussion series planned for the next few episodes.  This episode, we talk with the folks responsible for the Drum Circle for Global Unity.  Unfortunately, this episode is so late in being released that it is out the day before the actual event!  Fortunately, they plan to do this every year.

All the immediate details you need to know is that it happens simultaneously around the globe on September the 18th, at exactly 2pm EST, and will continue, based on the Heart Beat, for eight minutes.  All further relevant information can be found on their website at http://drumforglobalunity.com/

A real gem in this interview is The Drummer’s Creed by Shea Springford.  Check it out.

Oraia Sphinx is the creator and host of one of our most favourite podcasts, Media Astra Ac Terra. The subject matter of her show is right up our alley. The mystical and the esoteric practically integrated with the physical exploration of the formative universe in which we live. Her podcast is, in our opinion, an honest and educational foray into what some of us understand as a Hermetic universe. As above, so below. As without, so within. As astrological, so astronomical. As spiritual, so physical. As astra, so terra. You get the point.  http://sphinx.libsyn.com/

Oraia, we are delighted to announce, has graciously accepted our invitation to come and drop by every month, and share with us some of the treasures from her particular journey, in a new Kakophonos segment called PathWorking. This will be an intriguing guided tour through the voluptuous wilds of the Tarot. I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as we do.

And finally, we close the show with a song by Panthea named Apple Seed, which is played using an obscure traditional Iberian square frame drum called an Adufe.

Hopefully we’ll be able to release the next episode actually within the month it is dated for!
