Sunne, the German Sun Goddess

My model is an extraordinary doula. Why are there so many gorgeous women involved in childbirth and midwifery?

Pandora's Jukebox Playlist from Sunday Night

Here is my playlist from last Sunday night. It was my 9th show. My monthly show is the fourth Sunday of the month between 9 and midnight EST. Thinking I need a DJ handle. Any ideas?

Pandora's Jukebox

This Sunday night from 9 to midnight EST, I'll be back on the airwaves with my live music show, Pandora's Jukebox. I'm going to be playing outside the box, with a set of Celtic music dedicated to my sister Sylvie Magdalena who turned 17! this summer. We're celebrating her new job as a library aid at her high school. She is a phenomenal young lady whose rocky start at life was an incredible medical miracle.

Besides the Celtic tunes, I'll be exploring old and new territory in an eclectic bouquet of sound, climbing into dimensions of shamanic rock and general weirdness between rolling rocks and wailing hearts of darkness. I'm hoping to excavate old shrines and walled gardens of our collective past lives in bright moonbeams and vespertine shadows, with their tormented, taut, salacious, lupine, and messy murky glory. We may even get primordial like triassic amphibians and metazoan molluscs. Like euphoric sacrificed animals in a serpentine lovebath of ethylene in the geologic chasm of the temple of Aphrodite, you will feel no pain.

The show airs monthly, on 92.1 WOMR Provnincetown, 91.3 WFMR Orleans and globally at http://womr.org Download the app here!

The Human Cost of Cheap Electronics

You may have seen the mini documentary that went viral about young workers in China, getting leukemia from working in unventilated factories with highly toxic chemicals. Heather S. White's unreleased film has already created such a buzz that Apple announced last week that it is eliminating Benzene and N Hexane in the manufacture of iPhones and iPads. Heather S. White is an award-winning non-profit executive and researcher with 25 years of experience in international advocacy on labor and human rights. Hear my interview with Ms. White about this campaign and her work this Thursday at 9am EST on 92.1 WOMR, 91.3 WFMR, or streaming at womr.org

White was a Network Fellow at Harvard University’s Edmund Safra Center for Ethics. Her investigative work on transparency in global supply chains has led to improved industry standards in social auditing and verification practices. White is the founder and former Executive Director of Verité, a non-profit organization which has helped to reduce labor violations in factories producing for American consumer brands.

16 years ago today since hubby and I had our first date, complements of the seashore. He rowed out into the fog to catch some fish, and he grabbed me selkie skin before I could get away. But he's no mere mortal, he's Mercurius. And, he has a really big aura.

A One-Way Ticket on the Hellbound Train and the Chakana That Saved the World

This is my second go at reading, "In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts", and I'm much more present in reading the material now. It helps to write in the margins. Why keep books pristine? A great deal lives between the carnal and spiritual text of Dr. Gabor Mate's work. It eloquently uses the stories of impoverished often-homeless mentally-ill drug addicts who are socially confined to residing in a ghetto as a mirror to draw focus to our collective addictions, be they to shopping, work, sex, or food. The poetic sense in his imagery and the poetry you read between the lines offers nourishment to the hungry ghost within. And as I wrote this, my Mother Mary and Kuan Yin are casting growing shadows on my wall. Life is organically magical, when we don't stop it from being so.

Tonight, my talented FB amigo, musician and artist Rumi Nahui, reminded me of The Prophecy of the Condor and Eagle tonight by sharing his Chakana. That story is actually the foundation and bones of two of my screenplays. It plays a more obvious role in the one that features a magical "pet" condor. It's a story that playfully exposes some of the foibles of the pharmaceutical industry. The other one is about a (half) Mayan-descendent who was abandoned at the foot of an Aztec Temple and found and raised by a Quechua woman. It's a Tarzan story, in which the world is saved by the healing powers of the unification of all indigenous people. So, thanks to my friend, I'm thinking about it, and realizing it should be a novel first. And I'll get right to it just as soon as my kid stops puking, and people stop needing curses lifted and demons exorcised ;)

NINA

After a lengthy three hour discussion with my husband, we've come to the conclusion that feminine/intuitive/heart-centered wisdom and the sacred feminine are the only thing that can save the planet.
