Aaaaand we're back! The old HBP 15 is out, the new HBP 15 is in. And it's the promised liminal redux! In this episode we consider the liminality of haunted spaces and how ghosts don't always come in a liminal package. We are also giving due kudos to Dan for powering through this recording despite their lingering illness. Let us all agree that they sound totally cool and normal.Also of note: Dan's thoughts on nostalgia and liminality, a new segment on devotional eats called What's Cookin? (no, there is not a less tacky title), and a ghostly Canadian folktale befitting our theme.The question this week is... what are some weird places ya'll have been to? Any good hauntings?Join the discussion in our Discord server here and follow our blog for more updates here.Theme song is We Are One by Vexento.Background sound is The Magical Tearoom by Miracle Forest.

So by now you know that we will not shut up about fake people - especially when most pagans don't need a mythos to be factually true in order to shape a fulfilling practice. This episode is expanding the scope of that subject to include how fictional stories affect how anyone interacts with living religious traditions. If it sounds like self-indulgent navel gazing... it is.Also in this episode: Thoughts on authenticity in the queer experience, a moment to remember the actual really real reasons we're celebrating Valentine's day, and another spooky story for the collection.PS: Johna is not addressing every Star Wars fan when she says "bros" and "warrior monk wannabes." She only means the Bros and the Warrior Monk Wannabes.Theme song: We Are One by VexentoBackground sounds: The Magical Tearoom by Miracle ForestPhoto by Pixabay from Pexels 

Are you the type that loves a good idea but hates when everyone else is doing it? That's kind of Johna's entire aversion to New Year's resolutions. Today the team is walking you through strategies for real goal setting - the kind that works for folks who are chronically ill but have big plans in mind.Also in this episode: A moment to remember Christopher Tolkien, an Aztec creation myth, and Johna making good on her ancestral work.Theme song is We Are One by Vexento.Background sound is The Magical Tearoom by Miracle Forest.Photo by Pixabay from Pexels

Chronic illnesses happen, folks, so this week's episode is a Quick Brew sit-down with Danny! Chillax and listen as they tell you a little bit about themself, about how Home Brew fits into their mission to nurture queer youth, and about learning how to take criticism as a vote of confidence.Look forward to our next full-length episode on January 31st!.............Theme song is We Are One by VexentoBackground sound is The Magical Tearoom by Miracle ForestPhoto by Pixabay from Pexels

Our first episode of the new year hits a subject we just can't take half measures with: the plight and progress of queer pagans. It's the start of a conversation and a promise for expansion - just what we'd want to set our intentions for the new year. Also in this episode: the return of Make Talk Good, the origins of Papa Legba, and Danny's closing thoughts on celebrating with other queer pagans.Bonus: At about 15:30 you will hear a toddler laughing. It was a good laugh. And no amount of Johna's editing could defy the will of the laughter gods, so you might as well enjoy.Theme song is We Are One by Vexento.Background sound is The Magical Tearoom by the wonderful Miracle Forest.

This episode, we celebrate many things with you all. Reaching episode 10, airing on iTunes, the solstice. So we play a game with you all, and listen in for the rules on a GIVEAWAY!

We've talked about the long-standing concept of a hero cult, but what happens when we extend such worship and honor to fictional characters? Is that too weird, even for us? The answer is no! Fictional heroes can be as powerful as historical, spiritual, and/or religious heroes! Learn why on this episode of Home Brew Podcast! Have an opinion? Question? Message us on homebrewpagans.tumblr.com or @homebrewpagans on twitter!

This return to our usual programming still hits some seasonal notes as we discuss interacting with liminal space - the type of place that seems to be, well, neither here nor there.

What's Quick Brew, you ask? It's a short heart-to-heart with one of the Home Brew hosts - Johna in this case. Let's talk one on one and briefly touch on Indra's net and how the concept applies to Paganism. And don't worry, Danny will be back with us in the next ep. :)
