Problem is, I was a bad code monkey and didn't keep a back-up of the HTML code for our custom page.

So, now we rebuild from scratch. The friends of the show links, feed subscription buttons, etc., along with legible font colors, will be returning slowly over the coming days and weeks.

Tastes Like Burning thanks you for your patience as we reconstruct our site.

* A candid and interesting talk about anything, everything and nothing at all with Sandi and Kathy.  This was one of our first recordings with the DVR so forgive the ambient noise.  But the conversation was fun and interesting, thank you to Sandi and Kathy for hosting us for the afternoon.  Now shut your eyes and imagine you are on a porch in Texas, sipping iced tea and hearing stories.

The Links & The Love:

The Rede...

Bide the Wiccan laws ye must,

in perfect love and perfect trust.

Live ye and let live, fairly take and fairly give.

Form the circle thrice about, to keep all evil spirits out.

To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye, light of touch, speak ye little, listen much.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, singing out ye Witchesâ Rune.

Widdershins go by the waning moon, chanting out ye Baneful Rune.

When the Ladyâs moon is new, kiss your hand to her times two.

When the moon rides at her peak, then ye heartâs desire seek.

Heed the North windâs mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss thee on the mouth.

When the wind blows from the West, departed souls may have no rest.

When the wind blows from the East, except the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.

Elder be the Ladyâs tree, burn it not or cursed youâll be.

When the wheel begins to turn, soon the Beltaine fireâll burn.

When the wheel hath turned to Yule, light the log the Horned One rules.

Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady blessed be.

Where the rippling waters flow, cast a stone and truth youâll know.

When ye have and hold a need, harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend, nor be counted as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the threefold law ye should, three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is anow, wear the blue star on thy brow.

True in love you must ever be, lest thy love be false to thee.

These eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,

"An It Harm None, Do What Ye Will"



The history...

Samhain  (October 31st)

Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means "End of Summer", and is the third and final Harvest. The dark winter half of the year commences on this Sabbat.

It is generally celebrated on October 31st, but some traditions prefer November 1st. It is one of the two "spirit-nights" each year, the other being Beltane. It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands. It is a time to study the Dark Mysteries and honor the Dark Mother and the Dark Father, symbolized by the Crone and her aged Consort.

Originally the "Feast of the Dead" was celebrated in Celtic countries by leaving food offerings on altars and doorsteps for the "wandering dead". Today a lot of practitioners still carry out that tradition. Single candles were lit and left in a window to help guide the spirits of ancestors and loved ones home. Extra chairs were set to the table and around the hearth for the unseen guest. Apples were buried along roadsides and paths for spirits who were lost or had no descendants to provide for them. Turnips were hollowed out and carved to look like protective spirits, for this was a night of magic and chaos. The Wee Folke became very active, pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans. Traveling after dark was was not advised. People dressed in white (like ghosts), wore disguises made of straw, or dressed as the opposite gender in order to fool the Nature spirits.

This was the time that the cattle and other livestock were slaughtered for eating in the ensuing winter months. Any crops still in the field on Samhain were considered taboo, and left as offerings to the Nature spirits. Bonfires were built, (originally called bone-fires, for after feasting, the bones were thrown in the fire as offerings for healthy and plentiful livestock in the New Year) and stones were marked with peoples names. Then they were thrown into the fire, to be retrieved in the morning. The condition of the retrieved stone foretold of that person's fortune in the coming year. Hearth fires were also lit from the village bonfire to ensure unity, and the ashes were spread over the harvested fields to protect and bless the land.

Various other names for this Greater Sabbat are Third Harvest, Samana, Day of the Dead, Old Hallowmas (Scottish/Celtic), Vigil of Saman, Shadowfest (Strega), and Samhuinn. Also known as All Hallow's Eve, (that day actually falls on November 7th), and Martinmas (that is celebrated November 11th), Samhain is now generally considered the Witch's New Year.

Symbolism of Samhain:
Third Harvest, the Dark Mysteries, Rebirth through Death.

Symbols of Samhain:
Gourds, Apples, Black Cats, Jack-O-Lanterns, Besoms.

Herbs of Samhain:
Mugwort, Allspice, Broom, Catnip, Deadly Nightshade, Mandrake, Oak leaves, Sage and Straw.

Foods of Samhain:
Turnips, Apples, Gourds, Nuts, Mulled Wines, Beef, Pork, Poultry.

Incense of Samhain:
Heliotrope, Mint, Nutmeg.

Colors of Samhain:
Black, Orange, White, Silver, Gold.

Stones of Samhain:
All Black Stones, preferably jet or obsidian.

The full moon.  I recorded this from our back yard after

hurricane Ike passed by the DFW Metroplex.

Due to illness and a total lack of topics, this week's show has been cancelled.

Now back to your regularly scheduled surfing.

Thank you.

âJames of TLB

To all our listeners who may be concerned:

Yes, Ike is coming straight for us.

But don't freak out. We'll be fine. The Metroplex is about 600 miles inland, so by the time it gets here, it won't be any worse than the storms we experience regularly in the spring. Actually, this is better because, unlike the spring storms, we actually knew this was coming days in advance, so we've had plenty of time to prepare (which has amounted to moving exactly four lightweight plastic chairs, the outdoor fireplace bowl thingy, the propane grill, and the bird baths).

The worst we'll get is about 4" of rain (not a problem; we're on a hill) and sustained winds of about 30â40 mph, gusting to maybe 50â60 mph (see preparations above).

To our listeners in Houston/Galveston, other areas of S. Texas, and E. Central Texas:

You're in our thoughts and we hope you made/make it through Ike's wrath unscathed.

Thanks to all who've expressed concern for us and look for our special IKE edition of Tastes Like Burning tomorrow night.

Stay crispy (no matter how wet you get)!

Greetings from Tastes Like Burning.

We have experienced some technical difficulties unrelated to the show, but affecting show production, nonetheless.  We will be recording one tonight that explains our weekend trials, tribulations, and trouble, and hope to have it up by tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your patience.

âJames of TLB

Your friendly Tastes Like Burning webmaster has made a couple of changes and tweaks.

1. A new banner made with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0.
2. New category of links in the right-hand pane for the latest StumbleUpon sites we've mentioned on the show.
3. The link to a complete Archive List at the top of the right-hand pane.
4. We've also moved the site search bar and "Open links in new window" check box to the top of the pane, as well.

We hope you enjoy the new features.

On the blog post for Episode 49, "Quetsucrapbowle Commands You," the link for the Celestia program pointed to the wrong Celestia website.  As it turns out, celestia.com is actually some new age website for repainting your inner child's chakra or something.

I have corrected the link and provided it on this post as well for your convenience.

Tastes Like Burning regrets the error.  No seriously, we're sorry for sending you to those damn dirty hippies.

Coffee is great, especially when I make it. People who drive, or at least the stupid ones. Stopping smoking isn't nearly as tasty as lighting up, and how to tell someone they need a mint.
