Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored.

Someone's got to care for them.

Who shall it be if not us?

Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from 43 degrees south on a small farm in deepest Tasmania. My name is Gordon and I shall be your

host. This week we welcome to the show Freedom Cole.

Freedom is an author, teacher, and all-around specialist in Vedic astrology,

which is what he joins us today to discuss,

along with chakras, the Indian experience of magic the antiquity of

astrology and how to save farms from bushfires using dragons.

Enjoy. Freedom thank you very much for your time.

Yes.

Nice one.
