Fate, Witches, and The Divine Feminine in Shakespeare’s Plays with Professor T. J. Snodgrass
The Great Mother–one archetype of the Divine Feminine–has a dark side. There’s long been a mythic connection between the Goddess and her witchy sisters, and the folk of Shakespeare’s age seem to have known that well, or at least so we judge from their folklore and arts.
Author and professor T. J. SNODGRASS has made a study of the beliefs and customs of Shakespeare’s day, and in this episode he discusses the subjects of his new book, Shakespeare’s Goddess: The Divine Feminine on the English Stage.

The Great Circle Alliance:
Spiritual Perspectives on Ohio’s Ancient Ceremonial Earthworks with Belinda Gore, Ph. D.
The ceremonial earth- and stone-works of the North American Hopewell Culture are both magnificent and mysterious. The average North American doesn’t even know they exist. Sacred treasures for the benefit and growth of all humankind, they are sites and portals for the spiritual development of every individual. They are also, like all temples and some strange places in the landscape, zones of “Exceptional Human Experience.” Yes, they get ghost stories.
Ohio native BELINDA GORE is the director of The Great Circle Alliance. We welcome her enthusiastically to Spirit Way Project.

The Little People of the American South
First Nations Traditions and Contemporary Encounters
with Joshua Cutchin, author-researcher
Most Americans think of the Little People–Fairies, magical races of human-like beings–as components of European tradition, and nothing more than figments of folklore. It would surprise many of us to learn that many if not most of the First Nations of North America maintain an active tradition of these little beings of the woods–and that they are not the only people who occasionally see them.
Our guest JOSHUA CUTCHIN is a native of North Carolina with a long interest in forteana. He holds a Masters in Music Literature and a Masters in Journalism from the University of Georgia, and currently works as a public affairs specialist in the southeast. In addition to his media work, Joshua is also a published composer and maintains an active performing schedule as a jazz and rock tuba player, having appeared on eight albums and live concert DVDs. He is also the author of a number of books including The Brimstone Deceit and Thieves in the Night.
