The Middle-Aged Baby Pagan

20/03/2022

I know I've been away for quite some time. I'll explain soon enough, but first I wanted to share a video I made last summer. As we celebrate Ostara, I've been thinking about my own growth and the scary changes that I'm continue to make (as I tend to say in each episode "That's why we're here!"). This video explains part of why doing so was so difficult for so long. It's a 5-minute listen - thanks in advance for listening.

I'm sitting in my most comfortable space to tell a story of what happened when I came out as Pagan, and how it made me afraid to learn for years.

In my interview with , he gave me the seriously in-depth homework of working to get myself into a trance state. Over the past week, I did my best to get past my fears (with the help of !) and put myself out there. Check out my newest episode of "Summer School" to find out how it went (link is in the bio).

After the "Roundtable" rune reading I gave to Dante, Karen and Andrea, my homework was simply to keep reading. So, not only did I read for myself, but I read for friends, too. But the real lesson may be more than just the runes. Go to https://anchor.fm/middleagedbabypagan or wherever you listen to your podcasts to hear more. Blessed be, everyone!

While I was posting my new podcast episode at the Overlook park, I decided to create a video about the gatekeeping experience I mentioned offhandedly. If you'd like to hear that story (and potentially others) consider becoming a member of my Patreon page!

Plenty of previous guests gave experiential homework - homework that involves holding space and being present, wherever I may end up. So for this episode, I went directly to the source - North Point Overlook Park. The result was a peaceful, meditative episode that I hope you enjoy.

Ok, so it's not Joe Rogan numbers. Heck, it's probably not even 3 Pagans and a Cat numbers. But after nine months and 19 episodes, The Middle-Aged Baby Pagan just got 1000 listens, and I'm damn proud of that! Thanks to everyone for their support, and there's still more to come, so make sure to tell your friends!

When it comes to making offerings to gods and/or ancestors, there's so many different ways to go about it.

It's been a while since I've done anything with the podcast. I've missed the schedule, but the break has been nice :) But now it's time to announce my summer programming!

"Summer School" is my opportunity to put into practice all the homework I was given throughout Season One. From reading up on Gerald Gardner, to getting in touch with ancestors, to reaching an ecstatic state - It's time to get to work! Coming soon to Anchor and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!

"Altar Stories" is just that - stories about altars! And for this show, I need YOU! I wanna hear all about your altar - what it means, how you arranged it, and all the fun anecdotes that come with it :) But if you're not comfortable being on the show, that's totally fine - just submit your story and pics to [email protected] and I'll read your story on the air!

Have a Blessed 2021 - or at the very least, a damn better year than the last year

24/12/2020

Here's a late Yule/early Christmas gift for the "Baby Pagan" community - a new podcast episode! It's a quick look back at 2020, and an even quicker look at the upcoming year :) Available on Anchor or anywhere you listen to your podcasts!

As we escape 2020 far from unscathed, I look back on what happened this year, both on this podcast and life in general. I also take a brief look at what is planned for the Baby Pagan Community for 2021. Plus, a recommendation for all of you. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/middleagedbabypagan Ins...

I guess that's the big risk of being Pagan on a public forum - the Jehovah's Witnesses invite you to hang out with them. I appreciate the handwritten letter, but my name is spelled "Aaron". Two A's 😂😂

21/12/2020

Have a Blessed Yule, everyone!
