Ok the new podcast is going to kick off the new year with a new series, so start thinking about… the elements! I know groan this again? I promise its something different. I am going to want some input and now I have “incentive” I brought home prizes!
Yes thats right I have prizes! So get ready! I will accept input in two forms: emails and mp3s!
Also we are going to change direction a little bit with the rocks and minerals, I am going to start talking about rocks on the whole. We are going to talk about going from minerals to rocks. Some of the minerals yes, and if there is anything specific we will talk about them. Switching over to where you find the minerals which more often then not is occurring within a rock! So I am going to start going to talk about rocks! 🙂
There is a type of analysis called “whole rock analysis” so we are going to talk about “whole rock energies”
enjoy!
Today I am teaching a 600 level class. That was one of the motivations behind all this podcasting, to make me more comfortable teaching and giving presentations. I feel being able to play myself back and hear what I sound like, and learn to slow down is helping!
But we put it all to the test today! Wish me luck and send me good thoughts! 🙂
EDIT: I was complimented on my session! I brought rocks in, it was awesome! 🙂
This might be the last one for a while. December and January are my busy months so I am pretty sure combined with that and being out of town I won’t really have time to record. If I can get my hand held recorders working…. (getting the files off them….) then I may have something! 🙂
So here is what you can do to help! I want a feedback/questions section! So send them to me!
please?
email me?
I have several treats for you in this next episode, and since the poll is going along and it looks like the current events were a success then I will run along and round some up!
Pyrite is the mineral this time so send me Pyrite uses and things as well!
thank you all!
YES YOU! There is a poll right ——————–>
The last episode I did the lesson about volcanoes and tsunamis was motivated by explaining current events. Did you like that approach?
please let me know!
You can also just comment on this post to let me know.
The question is: Do you like current events as the center of the lesson or more as an example to highlight the lesson and emphasize a point, do you like you lesson floating in the vast expanses of time and space with no current events examples only old well known ones?

I have some big questions I want answered, but its not something I can answer. So I am going to start making a list and asking people! 🙂 I know I said it was going to be a while before the next show… so I wanted to make it a good one!
Metallic Rocks and Magnetic Rocks
Volcanoes lore and deities
Interview some PODKIN!? 😀
I think so! Its going to be written answers but I thought I would ask some of my favorite podkin if they have some time to send me some of their ideas. I’m not sure these questions can be answered but! I like hearing other peoples ideas.
Powers in rocks/minerals/geology thats the topic.
