Something a little chaotic and out of the ordinary. Ki’a Dragon takes a break from meta-physical theory and revelations from spiritual beings to talk about the only thing that really matters in the end: His Family.
Ki’a Dragon has gotten more total questions and inquiries about pagan parenting than all the other questions combined. People seem interested in his handling of being a pagan father and the what and why of it.
So KD pulled together several old LiveJournal posts he wrote about how his life changed once he became a parent, both spiritually and practically. So here is the what, why and even some of the how of Ki’a Dragon and Feykin becoming the proud parents of Dragonson.
The First segment is a post about KD gently coming out to his mother about being a pagan in anticipation of his child’s birth.
The Second segment is two posts. The first was a post KD had written down after stumbling home from the birth of his son about the experience and how the battle plan fell apart the moment the event started. The second is a post was written less than a day later.
The Third segment is two posts KD wrote about strange dreams that came to fruition and how he felt like he had jumped storylines in his life’s book.

In the First segment Ki’a Dragon addresses email, blog comments, new bigger file size, addendum to guns “kill people and break things” (they also are used to hunt) and then K.D. talks to a commenter who asked about how and why my wife and I decided to start a family.
In the Second Segment K.D. tackles the concept of how a Chaos Mage goes about choosing their magical paradigms, pantheons, tools and rituals. Then he talks about his wife reading to their son from Catherine Valente’s fantasy fiction. I apologize for mistakenly calling her Catherine Tate several times. Sorry Catherine, I love your work.
In the Third Segment Ki’a Dragon talks Magical Intent and its direct correlation to Hypnosis case studies. How Intent is everything, from spells to hypnotic trance.
In the Fourth Segment it all gets very weird. A Journal to Dragonson that went sideways when Eris decided to interject. It gets pretty out there. I am still wondering how I did it. There goes half the audience…*sigh*.

The following video touches upon just about EVERYTHING I want to discuss in this podcast when it comes to quantum physics. This is the scientific core of the Chaos Magic principle of the Quantum Worlds theory, also know by some as the Parallel Universes theory.
And what I love about it is that:
A. This is a BBC interview…not a basement whack job with too much LSD and a camcorder.
B. They are interviewing Dr. Michio Kaku…a Professor of Theoretical Physics.
C. Theology, god(s), religion and implications of this new physics upon them is discussed.
In the first segment Ki’a Dragon addresses email, blog comments and state of mind.
In the Second Segment he attempts to use physics to demonstrate the principle that we are all the Children of the Stars.
In the Third Segment Ki’a Dragon talks about Quantum Physics concept of Quantum Entanglement and Spooky Action at a Distance and how it could explain the action of magical working.
