Weekly pagan podcast “The Spiral Dance” celebrates its tenth anniversary

[icymist]

Every week, Brighton MA resident Hawthorne puts together a podcast for his eager pagan listeners. The show often includes music by pagan musicians, interviews with pagan authors, and discussion of everything from the myth of King Arthur to the origins of New Orleans Voodoo. This month, March 2010, Hawthorne celebrates the tenth anniversary of “The Spiral Dance.”

In March of 2000, he began broadcasting his show on Alston-Brighton free radio. Today it is available on internet only. “e take you to the corner of your dreams, as we celebrate The Wheel and retell the Ancient Myths. Join us, as we re-awaken the Pagan nature of the human soul, only on The Spiral Dance with Hawthorne.” (thespiraldance.weebly.com/home.html)

“It does take an awful lot of dedication,” he says of his ten years (so far!) of broadcasting the show. “There have been times I’m sick, and I go ahead and do the show and go to sleep afterwards… I do it because I feel like…it would be wrong if I didn’t do it.” He says that if he is late with the broadcast, he gets upset emails from his listeners.
