About Halfmoon Podcast

This is a unique podcast. Patsy tells stories in an inimitable, charming style from the Taoist folk canon as well as from her fascinating childhood in old Taiwan. Charles draws out mythic themes from these stories and uses them to illuminate the present condition of humanity. Sometimes he will “decode” them; more often he will speak from their energy and images, because these stories carry profound knowledge that transcends explanation. Patsy and Charles were married until 2006. They say, “We have completed our karma together, the only thing left is love.” Whether or not that is entirely true

E12 - Ghosts and Shrines

In this episode, Patsy tells of her personal experiences with spirits and ghosts, and describes some of the shrines and temples in Taiwan, and why they are there. This gives a glimpse into a worldview in which these phenomena aren't "supernatural", but are an ordinary part of daily life.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
