Welcome to The Wildwood Witch Podcast, where the veil between worlds is lifted, and the wisdom of the ages is brought to life through the magic of artificial intelligence. I'm your host, Samantha Brown, and I invite you to join me on a captivating journey as we resurrect the spirits of history's most influential occultists, magicians, and esoteric luminaries. In our groundbreaking first season, "Speaking with the Dead," we harnessed the power of AI to summon the likes of Aleister Crowley, Au ...

Advent is a season of peace and love and harmony, as envisioned by the prophet Isaiah's poetry about wolves and lambs resting together, toddlers playing with vipers, vegetarian lions, etc. That sounds lovely (if a little boring), but... here in the real world, conflict and destruction persist, to put it lightly. Why do we care about an ancient, ide…

On this first Sunday of Advent, we ponder what it means to have hope along with Mary through the lens of The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55). This song offers a word of hope for a waiting and oppressed people, and invites us to "go and do likewise" and join God in bringing hope to our hurting world.

On Eternity Sunday, the last Sunday of the traditional church calendar, at Wildwood we take time to name and grieve for our losses in the past year. This year's snow storm meant that only a few of us met at the church building while most others joined online. This solemn service raises big questions for many of us, especially about death, resurrect…

What Colour is your Faith? This summer at Wildwood, we're exploring the model of Spiral Dynamics as a way to understand the many different faith perspectives that are within and around all of us. Billie Eilish. Mumilaaq Taqqaq. Hannah Gadsby. (Yup, we are shamelessly celebrity name-dropping to clickbait you into checking out this week's sermon.) Bu…

What does it look like to break the cycle of shame in practical terms? Embracing vulnerability in your relationships, with yourself and with others. Ben and Joe explain what that might look like, and then a dance party breaks out. Seriously. The song Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars was removed from this recording due to copyright.…

The prayer that Jesus taught us, or the Lord's prayer, outlines a vision for the kin-dom of God on earth. This Peace Sunday, as we are surrounded by narratives of war, scarcity, and fear, how can we rewrite the stories? How can we reimagine the ancient vision of shalom (peace) and make it make sense for our world today? Note: Song recording Your Pe…

The Beloved Community is one vision for creating a “truly brotherly society” (Martin Luther King, Jr.), a call for solidarity and harmony between all people. For followers of the way of Jesus, an important dimension of this call is the spiritual. The prayer of Ephesians 3:14-21 is an encouragement for the church to orient ourselves to the “Infinite…

Matthew 25 contains a verse that may be familiar to many, and is used to promote the work of nonprofits and politicians the world over: "Just as you did to the least of these, my brothers, you did it to me" (NRSV). Jesus is inviting us to reflect on where we saw him in the least of those around us. From the hungry to the thirsty to the stranger, do…

"Consider the fig tree," Jesus says in Mark 13. As sure as the greening tree signals the coming of summer, the end of the world is both immanent and unavoidable. How do we prepare for these endings, large and small? And what hopeful note is hidden in the image of the fig tree that is also renewed in its time?…

What does belonging look like? It seems to be a bit of a moving target these days, especially in faith communities. We were pleased to have Tristan Norton join us to share about belonging in the context of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in his sermon "The Journey Home: Rediscovering Community and Connection in God's Love."…

"But can you tell us, exactly, who is our neighbour?" This question prompted Jesus to tell the now-famous Parable of the Good Samaritan. A neighbour responds to the needs right in front of them. We know that one. But as Jesus didn't actually answer the question, it's up to us to work out who is our neighbour, right now?…

“One day, a farmer went out sowing seed…” The Parable of the Seeds and the Soils (Matthew 13) is a familiar one. Jesus describes different conditions under which people receive God’s Message as four different types of soil. Obviously, we are meant to be like the “good soil” that produces the best harvest—or is Jesus up to something entirely differe…

Nature is wild. Many of us miss that, hiding out in our climate-controlled homes and carefully manicured gardens... And yet, the wildness of life is ultimately unavoidable. Wilderness finds us, ready or not. As we continue our "Wild Church" series, how might engaging with the natural world help to prepare us to hear from God in the all-natural full…

This Sunday we had Lisi Schrottner share with us. In Deuteronomy 30, we've reached a point of transition and choice for the people of God. Following their wilderness wandering and giving of the Law, the Israelites are about to enter the "Promised Land". They are invited to heed the instruction they've just been given, and thus choose life. The way …

Anabaptism began in Europe in the 1500s in small, often intentionally isolated, agricultural communities for the better part of four centuries. In the past 100-150 years, Anabaptism has experienced major changes: shifting its center from Europe to North America and then to the global South, becoming increasingly modernized, and culturally and theol…

What does it mean to be part of the global Anabaptist body? Jesus spoke of being a vine to which we are connected (John 15:1-17). The Anabaptist branches of this vine are varied yet we remain one. We have siblings in the faith in Ethiopia, Thailand, Kenya, and the Philippines. Our stories are intertwined and sometimes it gets messy but we remain co…

"From their innermost being will flow rivers of living water," Jesus said. This "River of Life" flows within and all around us, the way of shalom. In the baptism ritual, we name and celebrate this living water. And in the communion ritual, we practice living this way of shalom, each in our part of the Body of Christ. Come on in, the water is fine!…
