Transmitting from the Mojave Wilderness in Joshua Tree, California, now is the time for Desert Oracle Radio, the voice of the desert.

Night has fallen on the desert.

A time for invocations and prayer.

Because when you get right with the right gods,

the veil between the world's dissolves.

And you become the spirit's human host, for a little while anyway.

An important amount of time.

And it's important to be a good host.

For example, if you went to the Temple of Segment, somewhere on the Nile,

well, you would be treated well.

Thousands of people attended her festivals.

With much drinking of beer and wine and a little bit of mushroom brew to broaden your mental horizons.

And because Sechmet is the goddess of intoxication, once you were resting comfortably

on the porch of drunkenness,ness as a real place on the water.

The palm trees and river rushes swaying in the breeze.

Well, that's when the musicians arrived.

Especially the drummers, long lines of temple musicians waking up the revelers

with a wild musical score

Sechmet goddess of war with the Head of a Lioness.

Goddess of Healing who spares her people from the plague.

While sending it in heavy waves upon those she has damned.

Mistress of dread.
