This weeks edition is now up for Patrons! Should be up everywhere else around Noon. In this week's edition, Josh and Ritchie pick up where they left off in their episode on the Fairy Gods of Ireland. They talk about how the same the major players in Irish Mythology become the giants and monsters of Samhain. They also talk about how Halloween is a distinctly Christian holiday (Like they did last year) and how it incorporates parts of Samhain into itself -- But not for the reasons you think. This isn't baptized paganism. This is putting paganism under the feet of King Jesus. They also get into reasons why you should consider celebrating Halloween and how it is a legitimate enterprise for the church to declare time as holy. They also close down the episode talking about the origin of the Jack-O-Lantern, and Shadow Appalachia!More places for you to participate in the work they're doing with Shadow Appalachia will be coming out soon (Hopefully by the weekend)! Let us know what you think about this week's edition of the Sword & Staff!

Condensing Demonology down into a series for the Podcast is going to be one of the most insightful and timely resources we can make available. With reports of Demonic Hauntings, Possession, Oppression, etc. at all time highs, I only see this number exploding over the next decade as the rotten fruit from this generation’s reckless free roaming spirituality begins to ripen and fall. The need is great already but the worst is yet to come. The Church on the whole has already kept its head in the sand long enough while the world drowns in Neo Paganism and The Occult. The least we can do is be knowledgeable and equipped to deal with the fallout and take those first steps into regaining control of the narrative and illuminating a spiritual worldview that has always been ours from the beginning.

The Ogua is a West Virginia Cryptid that inhabits the Monongahela River. The Ogua is larger than a bear and resembles a turtle. Weighing 500 pounds, the Ogua has a 15-foot-long tail. Aside from swimming, it uses its quick legs to capture deer on land. 

It is said to silently lay partially buried in the mud near the shore waiting for prey to get too close for a drink before thunderously emerging and dragging it’s meal below the surface. 

The creature has been spotted for countless generations with sightings and lore dating back to early Native Tribes. There are some very strange attributes that are ascribed to this beast that seem to fit the pattern of the classic Elemental Spirit. Could this be a flesh and blood creature that has somehow survived undetected for centuries? Or is this a nature spirit, a guardian of the land, The Native People, much like many other cryptids reported around the world.
