Help, Interviews, and Video Wanted for Keepers of the Flame



IN THE STUDIO:

We are about to start a new season with brand new equipment in the cable access TV studio. Our crew could use another hand going forward. The studio provides all training free of charge, which is required to work on the show. Training is on boards, recording decks, cameras, lights, set up and breakdown, and some light computer work. Once you are trained we will begin recording in the studio again, likely twice per month.

This is a volunteer position (no one gets paid), but it looks great on a resume. The studio is located in Seymour on Great Hill Road.

ADDITIONAL VIDEOS, MUSIC AND INTERVIEWS ACCEPTED

If you have music videos, video pieces, or interviews (from anywhere in the world) and would like to submit them to the show for broadcast, please submit them to us on DVD with a release to:

Panthean Temple
POB 111
Derby CT 06418

APPEARING ON THE SHOW:

Coming to our area? Please schedule an interview with us. Daytime in the studio during weekdays is usually available. If you are an Elder, author, leader, musical or visual artist we may want to speak with you. Sorry, but we are no longer accepting phone interviews unless they are videotaped on your end as well - you will have to make arrangements with us.

Please write us at PantheanTemple@aol.com if you are interested in any of the above

Blessings,
Rev. Alicia Lyon Folberth

Take Me Down Where the Pagans Go!


I have loved Adala's music from the first time I heard her sing an original song at a Pagan spiritualist church years ago. She has an amazing gift, and she's totally professional. the song for our show "Take Me Down Where the Pagans Go" is from her Dancing Naked CD, available from CD Baby. I think it's totally perfect for us and our show. Support her and buy a copy!



Kind words about her CD:

"Lovely Pagan-themed CD. Many of the songs would be good to use in Circle or as chants. Adala has an earthy, pleasant voice, great for this type of music, and she wrote all of the tracks herself."

"A true magical masterpiece. Her music will encircle you with the power and love of the Goddess. Her haunting voice sends chills up my spine each and every time I listen. An absolute must for your music library."
  
"Myth, magic, a pure sensory experience. The music on this cd is organically beautiful and intriguing. Each song holds a sense of mystery and invokes power. The vocals are amazing as well especially when they are overlayed with a mixture of harmony and chants. A must for anyone interested in truly magical music."

What's new?



I know so many of you have been quietly waiting for me to come back and step into the strong role of leading in the community once more. I've had multiple life issues, including recovering from a car accident and severe health issues which I am still in the process of working on, but I am returning to full service once more. Part of this is the television show, which began originally as a previous show that aired in many areas of Connecticut under the banner of the Panthean Temple.

Keepers of the Flame is truly now the Panthean Temple's show, and as its producer, I have full creative control. I wanted to create a show that would bring our spiritual traditions up to a platform that represents us well, and educates and enriches our own people as well as the general public. This first step of placing it on the internet is a giant step forward for us all. I have often felt that far too often, the wrong people choose to represent us in our communities publicly, so let that change begin with our small temple. I am seeking out the voices of of Elders, leaders, and authors that will be preserved for future generations, and bring our religions into the future. We are also undergoing something of a cultural renaissance as so many musicians, artists and writers lend their voice to our growing numbers, and are becoming successful doing so. No longer are we in the shadows, we must carry the torch for the sake of future generations.

Each show will be edited and added to the internet, one by one. Although I am a graphic designer, I am learning the new software to do video editing and animation. I also expect our little team will grow, as we add more talented people and combine talents with others who also have television shows.

Please consider donating to our temple so we can continue this work. Unless we have a generous benefactor, it will still be many years until we have land and a building. They are very expensive in the Fairfield and New Haven Counties. We rent land and buildings for festivals and rituals, and so much of our money over the years has gone to support others. I personally have supported it out of my own pocket for many years, and was no longer able to due so in a recession. Truly, I look forward to the day when our temple rests on the shoulders of many good people rather than squarely on my own. Help us make this dream a reality.

This blog is in the process of being created, as is the TV show, so pardon our appearance to start. The first episode should be available on the internet next week.

Many blessings,
Rev. Alicia Lyon Folberth
