Spiritually Speaking: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Needs

Suzy Peltier, also known as Lady Red Hawk

The intention of “Spiritually Speaking: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Needs” is to introduce wholistic principles and to explore alternative spiritual perspectives such as Wicca, Paganism and Shamanism. It will educate, inform and enrich you as to the real practical value of Wicca as an earth-based spirituality that helps people with practical tools for introspection, self-cultivation and social action. This show will also debunk the bad press and false negative perspective that Wicca has anything to do with the devil -it does not. In this show Lady Red Hawk will interview Wiccan and Pagan leaders, teachers and writers, take questions from listeners as well as present her personal perspective on this spirituality in its rich diversity and creativity. read less
