The Game is Afoot S06 E02

The Mystics endeavor to stay on topic discussing the deluxe addition of their first book, 'Be The Flame, Not The Moth'. They are not successful and fall into remembering their field trip to the magical house of Nina, a collector of all things marvelous. They wander off into other adventures including the Sundance Film Festival and the freezing capital of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Mystic Margee steals the show with her holding forth (so to speak) on wearing a padded bra during junior high lunch period.

The Secret Bra [S01 E03]

The Mystics reminisce about their early years, and share readings from their
books. Today’s topic (Poetry) gets a cursory mention, before The Mystics wander off into subjects closer to their dark hearts. Strange occurrences and death as well as other matters of intrigue are given close attention. Bigfoot comes into play, and Mystic Margee admits to being a Neanderthal. Finally, The Mystic Queen becomes an object of jealousy as she attended the 1969 Atlanta Pop Festival. Also, she has many young suitors.

Mourning Jewelry [S01 E04]

The Mystics are joined by a gifted poet and fellow Auburnite, Ken Autrey. Along with Ken, we travel to many countries near and far. Some of the journeys are in our imaginations. The Mystics talk about their world tour through Mississippi and how they accidentally bypassed the world famous Ave Maria Grotto while in route. We class up the podcast by hashing over some of our favorite poetry and poets, James Dickey, Allan Ginsberg, and Emily Dickinson. Mystic Marian admits to spending an evening with James Dickey. Mystic Katie impresses the group by mentioning her stop in Wewahitchka on her way to St. George Island.

Levitating the Audience [S01 E05]

The Mystics return to their roots and travel to a genteel plantation. Sitting in the splendor of the Ole’ South, some misbehaving Mystics use this as an excuse to start wine-hour very early. Mystic Marian wears galoshes in order to walk among the herds of cows and goats. Not satisfied with one road trip, they travel to a library in North Alabama and meet a cat named Kitty Boo Boo. Mystic Mary forgets herself as well as her Mystic handle. The Mystic Queen pimps her car. Voodoo is mentioned.

Packing Peanuts & Pheromones [S01 E08]

The Mystics, and their guest, Terry Rodriguez (jazz crooner and gifted artist), take a serious look at art and oracles. The Mystic Queen seems to be broadcasting from her bathtub. She has now fired the sound editor. Mystic Katie, co-author of Oracle of the Ages, weighs in on the life of Mayhayley Lancaster, famous Georgia soothsayer. The Mystics review local bars and the Doo-Nanny, a defunct, but not forgotten, happening in Seale, Alabama. No need to travel to Burning Man.

Our Favorite Oracle [S01 E06]

Mystic fans, get out your jotting-down pens and legal pads. In this podcast, The Mystics list their favorite books. (Alert your book club.) We have left the studio to record this show from the charming Auburn Oil Co. Booksellers. Our guest is owner, June Wilcox. We have awarded June and the Booksellers five stars. Our star, The Mystic Queen, gives advice on leaving a mundane, tedious book and perhaps a boring lover.

A Good Read and a Sippy Cup [S02 E09]

Settle in as the Mystics read to you tales of youth, love, and death. Their narratives are eclectic: a 60s pop festival, a priest named Father Spaghetti, and a sashay around a Beau Bridge dance floor. Straight from The Mystic Order’s books and memories, these stories should not be missed.

Six Mystics, Six Stories [S02 E10]

Yikes! Half the Mystics have gone AWOL. Among the missing is Mystic Mary, who selected today’s topic, Notebooking, before calling in a personal leave day. The three remaining Mystics bravely endeavored to stay on topic. We were reasonably competent until someone mentioned effigy parties and imaginary friends.
