On this edition of Lavender Hill Corwin and Phil were joined in the studio by Vadra Stutzman and Buffy Cranford, president and vice president of Lincoln's Star City Pride. This year's theme is "Corn this Way", a play on Lady GaGa's "Born this Way." Star City Pride starts Friday 11 July with a family picnic at First Plymouth in Near South Lincoln followed by a street dance outside the Panic Bar and continues through Sunday with events at the Panic and Karma Club and Cabaret. Saturday starts off with a family friendly Pride in the Park sponsored by Outlinc at Tragor Park followed by a street festival outside the Panic at 4pm with a beer garden and a kid zone. The street festival will include 15 vendors, live entertainment, and speakers from the local LGBTQA community. Lavender Hill will be one of the vendors, representing KZUM and all the wonderful community programming available through the radio station. Events will wrap up Sunday evening with a Post Pride Party at Karma in downtown Lincoln. Lavender Hill ai

And we don't mean the joke name for Fox News here. Part of the focus of this edition of PWN is to help listeners to learn to discern real news from fake news. Some might even call this very show fake news because PWN is not a "recognized" news source by the mainstream. That aside, there are hundreds of blogs and websites on the interwebs that perport to give the news. Many are unsourced or at the least do not use any fact checking. The recent postings that the group known as ISIS (or ISIL) has destroyed the archaeological treasures in Nineveh, for example. RevKess has not found any reputable source for such information; instead has found only non-news sites supporting and one blog denying the claim. Where do we turn for the truth in this internet age? That's one thing RevKess and Zaracon will help you find out. There will also be some updates on Beebe, AR and Marion Zimmer Bradley's posthumus sex abuse scandal as well as other Pagan related news.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion of topics that may be uncomfortable for sensitive listeners. The topic pertains to child molestation, abuse, and other related issues. This episode is rated R, listener discretion is advised. With the recent "news" of Marion Zimmer Bradley's connection to multiple count sof child molestation, KilaSara nd RevKess have decided that it is time to again address abuse in the Pagan world, and elsewhere. MZB was the author of several books including the Darkover series and the Mists of Avalon series.  Fifteen years after her death, the "revelation" that she was involved in sex abuse still strikes the Pagan community in a hard way. Walter Breen, the husband of MZB, was a known pedophile and child abuser. You can read sections of her deposition against Breen here. Her daughter Moira Greyland has spoken openly about the abuse she witnessed and experienced. Please refer to the Wild Hunt for more information on the topic.You can view the show notes on PMPChannel.com.

Since the news broke early last week, the Seekers Temple and the Dahl family have been subjected to further religious persecution in Beebe, Arkansas.

The Seekers Temple in Beebe Arkansas is under religious persecution  from the city .  Today we are interviewing Bertram and Felicia Dahl High Priest and Priestess of the Seekers Temple about their ongoing ordeal with Religious Intollerance . Read the first reporting on this incident on The Wild Hunt. The Dahls moved to Beebe along with their church. Seekers Temple was already an established and recognized church, but the Dahls moved to Beebe and needed to go through all the proper channels to move the church to their new town. The city planners, even the mayor, were onboard until it was realized by them that the Dahls were Pagans and their church was a Pagan temple. Tune in for the interview with Bertram and Felicia to hear it straight from them! Video news coverage is available here through ArkansasMatters.com. Show notes available at PMPChannel.com.

It is not uncommon to find Pagan high priestesses and celebrants wearing something on their heads, be it a full, face-covering veil, a headdress, a hair-covering scarf or shawl, or even a small, tiara-like circlet. This week, Kalisara and RevKess are bringing you a panel discussion: Pagan women from many different paths and beliefs who share the practice of using veils and other head coverings in their ritual and/or daily lives. While we have touched on this topic previously, this time we will hear from those women who practice veiling, discussing the why's, the how's, the when's, as well as the problems that can come from veiling. We will be hearing their stories, many of which embody a quiet strength reflective of the oft-veiled Matron Goddesses.

The concept of the sacred and the profane has been discussed throughout history, and several times on Pagan-Musings. This week, join RevKess and Kalisara as we talk about who "owns" a person and their parts. We will be discussing privacy, public face & identity/identification, covering as a barrier, public persons/celebrity, and consent. We could go anywhere with this, and we will probably be touching on some passionate topics. Look for us to address the personal affects of privacy for celebrities and social norms for public image, as well as the responsibilities of and affects on the Pagan community regarding public accusations of well-known persons.

Join RevKess and Kalisara as we talk to author Sable Aradia about her upcoming book, "The Witch's Eight Paths of Power": Using Gerald Gardner's Eightfold Way as a structural model, Lady Sable Aradia has created a series of courses designed to teach the contemporary seeker about the mechanics and techniques of her revised eight paths: intent, trance, the craft, intoxicants, dance and sacred movement, blood and breath, the Scourge, and the Great Rite. With the help of exercises, meditations, and practical magick, any serious student of witchcraft will be able to master these eight paths to improve their skills, the effectiveness of their magic, and truly live a powerful and magickal life. From spellwork to sex magick to flying ointments, this extensive workshop-in-a book will bring you back to the basics to master the advanced art of witchcraft. Sable Aradia is a licensed Wiccan minister and a Third Degree initiate in the Star Sapphire and Pagans for Peace traditions. Her passion is teaching self-empowerment

Morning Glory has returned home at Ravenhaven to be with her beloved Oberon and their many friends and family. She is not long for this realm, but she holds on to complete her life's work: recording the many stories related to her over 300 Goddess figures. On July 16, 2011, Oberon, Morning Glory and Ariel joined RevKess and KaliSara for a conversation on the show. This was around the time that Oberon and Ariel started their series on Pagans Tonight, before Oberon took leave and Ariel moved to another channel. At one point during the show RevKess excused himself to answer a call of nature, upon his return he heard an unfamiliar voice on the headset. It would seem that Oberon had also excused himself for whatever reason and had handed the phone over to his beloved Morning Glory. In her brief segment she spoke about her Goddess collection and the weekend long workshops that she and Oberon taught at their home. RevKess had originally intended to edit the recording down to just MG's segment, but he thought bette
