EPISODE #200: THE AUTUMN TINT OF GOLD

, ,

Ken Layne at the board, Radio 1 Prague, 1992.

This autumn is getting off to a strange start, as here in the Mojave High Desert there are carpets of little yellow wildflowers thanks to the hurricane, old Hurricane Hilary which soaked us all pretty good a month ago. Never seen so many weeds in late September. Happy Equinox from Desert Oracle Radio, celebrating 200 episodes with tonight’s show.

Early September, Jupiter tucked under the 2/3 moon at midnight, heaviest of La Luna’s many forms and phases: low over the eastern horizon, like the Death Star under construction. The owls are hooting in three different octaves, a whole choir by relay, a choir of the night. The night air has turned cool again, the wind only whispering.This is Episode #199 of Desert Oracle Radio, broadcasting from Joshua Tree.

EPISODE #197: HURRICANE HILARY IN THE HIGH DESERT

, , ,

You are / like a hurricane / there's calm / in your eye

When you look at the big red danger zone in the middle of the Weather Service maps this evening, you will see that we are in it, right up at the north end of the highest predicted rainfall and flooding. Maybe that means we don’t get it as bad or for as long as our friends from the border zone up through Coachella Valley to Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs, maybe it means nothing of the sort. Prepare for a lot of rain, maybe a couple of years worth of rain. Prepare for a lot of water in a lot of place we don’t often see it. And up here around Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley and 29 Palms, prepare to hang around for a while. You may not be able to get down the hill for a while.

EPISODE #196: THE WILD BEASTS

, ,

Real gods require no faith, they just are: expressed in the life force of the pronghorn herd racing across the High Desert, the mountain lion traveling hundreds of miles as master of its environment, the invigorating violence of a summer thunderstorm, the lightning strike of a rattler upon its prey, the mourning dove pair bringing up each of their dozen offspring with the same determination and patience and love, one after another, all summer long. This is EPISODE #196: THE WILD BEASTS.

EPISODE #195: THE WAXING MOON: UFOs & THEIR PENTAGON PROPAGANDISTS

, ,

The United States military branches and intelligence agencies do not control what happens around the world all the time, much as they’d like to. Now is the time for EPISODE #195: THE WAXING MOON.

The things we call UFOs occur in the backwoods and on backroads, over the lonely desert playas and mountain lakes, eternally floating around the sacred springs and sacred groves and sacred mountains of every culture and continent, for as long as human beings have existed. If you want to see something supernatural, go somewhere quiet, put down your camera-phone, take out your earbuds, and tune in. ALSO: Some trouble with lemurs down in old San Antone, and the wonders of an 86% full moon on an August night in a high-desert small town.

EPISODE #194: WHERE THEY MADE THE BOMB

, ,

TRINITY TEST, New Mexico

If you want to cool off in this brutal desert summer, you need to get up someplace higher, around 7,000 feet up — the high-desert plateau around Los Alamos is real nice, at an elevation of 7,320 ft.

Lots of people have fallen in love with the climate and clean dry air up there, such as J. Robert Oppenheimer & Gore Vidal & William S. Burroughs. Burroughs was supposed to be a War Captain, following orders, but it never quite worked out that way. Instead, he would go to war with Human Language . . . using the weapon of the oppressor.

Tonight we are talking about witches. And interesting religions, new & old.

Tonight we are talking about hidden things: secret societies, national conspiracies. Joining us by telephone from New York is the author Colin Dickey, who has written interesting books about a lot of our favorite topics: ghosts, flyings saucers, and especially the many reasons so many of us are drawn to the supernatural, the occult, the paranormal. His latest, in stores next week from Viking Books, is called Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes American Democracy. Desert Oracle Radio is hosted by Ken Layne, with musical soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver.
