Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein
The Secret Life of Mother Mary - Divine Feminine Power for Personal Healing and Planetary Awakening
Marguerite Rigoglioso is a PhD scholar and priestess, and founding director of the Seven Sisters Mystery School, and a world renowned teacher of sacred knowledge, and the foremost authority on the history of virgin birth. She draws on her decades-long research and experiences with Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene to help uncover their hidden teachings and apply them to our present-day needs. Shes an award winning author of several books including The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births, and her new book is The Secret Life of Mother Mary: Divine Feminine Power for Personal Healing and Planetary Awakening.
In this interview conversation we talk about the life and accomplishments of Mother Mary, from some of the lesser known gospels. We also talk about the "Holy Womb Chakra" and its quantum nature as the creative source of everything, while also existing inside of all of us, male and female, and how we can work with it in our lives to re-create, regenerate or rebirth ourselves. We also talk about Mary's relationship with the Faerie realm, and the unifying significance of that for many people.
We also talk about Mary, Mary Magdalene and the tradition of Mary Priestesses as priestesses of divine love, how Jesus emerged from that.

Old Radio Break
Dimension X, 1950's science fiction radio drama
Two episodes - There Will Come Soft Rain - Zero Hour
Destination Moon
Everything old is new again. These are visions of a future from almost 75 years in the past. It's too bad we can't find a radio dramatization of Robert Heinlein's prophetic "The Man Who Sold the Moon" about the privatization and corporatization of space, given that we are now living that reality with Space X, Boeing and privatized war profiteers making headlines with their space efforts, and the reality, mostly obscured by the corporate media, that they are connected to the US Space Force and the militarization of low earth orbits and near space.
People are probably aware of the US astronauts stranded in space in a Boeing capsule. Here's a little news from Elon Musk's real life space efforts:
Rocket Mishaps For Bezos’ Blue Origin
By Nick Wingfield Source: Bloomberg
Blue Origin, the space startup owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, suffered two accidents in recent weeks to New Glenn, a giant new rocket the company is aiming to launch for the first time by the end of the year.
According to Bloomberg, the upper portion of a New Glenn rocket crumpled into itself while being transported around Blue Origin’s facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida. In a separate incident, another upper stage of a New Glenn rocket exploded during a test, Bloomberg reported.
For the maiden launch of New Glenn, Blue Origin is planning to carry two spacecraft for a NASA research mission to Mars. According to Bloomberg, the company is roughly targeting that launch for two months from now because Mars will be close enough to Earth to complete the mission. A Blue Origin spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company is still on track to launch New Glenn this year.
