<h2>Episode Notes</h2>
First off, apologies for the long delay between episodes. Producing this episode was a struggle on many levels; Heidegger readers will not be surprised. Thinking about Heidegger evokes numerous struggles, one of which is Heidegger&#8217;s relationship with fascism and anti-semitism. Despite this history, interest in Heidegger&#8217;s thought remains strong. To find out why, and to more closely examine Heidegger&#8217;s (probably quite short-lived) seduction by fascist ideology, we interviewed three Heidegger scholars (in order of their appearance in the episode): Jeremiah Conway, philosopher, teacher, and author of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15953478-the-alchemy-of-teaching">The Alchemy of Teaching</a>; philosopher, teacher, and <a href="https://godsandradicals.org/author/kadmush/">Gods &amp; Radicals writer</a> Kadmus Herschel; and Susanne Claxton, philosopher, teacher, and author of  <a href="https://www.rowmaninternational.com/book/heideggers_gods/3-156-0ce75fe3-6d39-4912-8288-cb936e9d10e9">Heidegger&#8217;s Gods: An Ecofeminist Perspective</a>.
Music for this episode came from <a href="https://ginmilljulep.bandcamp.com/">Gin Mill Julep</a> and <a href="http://kantelemusic.com/about.html">Lani Thompson</a>. Gin Mill Julep, at the time of this recording several years ago, consisted of Greg Bjork on mandolin, Ann Murray on accordion, and Paul Mattor on upright bass. The song in this episode is called &#8220;Mettsa Kukkia,&#8221; which is a single live performance (no overdubs) recorded in an old church building alongside the Saco River in Maine, and was remixed and edited for this episode. Lani&#8217;s performance of &#8220;Song Of The Nesting Bird&#8221; is on the <a href="http://kantelemusic.com/making.html">kantele</a>, an 11-stringed Finnish instrument that reminds me of a dulcimer with an utterly enchanting sound. Other background drone sounds and percussion were also added throughout the episode. 

<h2>Translations</h2>
In the episode, there are three excerpts of Heidegger himself speaking in German. I found the following translations for them, but since I do not speak German I cannot vouch for their accuracy. They seem coherent to me, and are consistent with my very cursory understanding of Heidegger&#8217;s thought:
<h3>0:17 &#8211; 0:30</h3>
<blockquote>&#8220;The relation of human beings to language is undergoing a transformation, the consequences of which we are not yet ready to face.&#8221;</blockquote>
<h3>23:55 &#8211; 24:38</h3>
<blockquote>&#8220;I would say that men – for example in communism – have a religion, because they believe in science. They believe unconditionally in modern science. And this unconditional belief in science, that means the confidence in the certainty of the results of science is a belief and is, in a certain way – something that exceeds the existence of a single person, and is therefore a religion. And I would say: no one is without a religion, and everyone is in a certain manner transcending themselves.&#8221;</blockquote>
<h3>36:07 &#8211; 37:09</h3>
<blockquote>&#8220;The decisive experience of my thinking and that means at the same time for western philosophy the meditation on the history of western philosophy has shown me, that in the past one question did never appear: the question of being. And this question is relevant because we determine, in western thinking, that man is in a relation to being and that he exists by corresponding to being.&#8221;</blockquote>

<h1>A Love Song To Sacred Wild Water</h1>
This episode came together out of love and gratitude. Quite literally, the piano music by Zoe Knight comes <a href="https://craftedrecordings.com/2017/02/13/zoe-knight-come-here-my-darling-lover/">directly from a love song</a>, and provides the musical structure of this episode. In working with the elements, my favorite Water devotional practice is gathering my own drinking water at a spring near my home, where the cleanest, most refreshing water Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve ever tasted flows like love from the ground. I recorded the sounds of the spring (and a water blessing) on one of my recent trips, and itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s a perfect sonic backdrop for this episode.
The brilliant &#8220;Like A Dragon Newly Woken&#8221; poetry &amp; performance narrative comes from <a href="https://guestsoftheearth.wordpress.com/">Guests of the Earth</a>, a performance group in the UK consisting of Nicolas Guy Williams, Peter Dillon, and Gods &amp; Radicals writer Lorna Smithers. They were kind enough to send me an original sound recording of their performance by Terry Quinn.
The music in this episode is piano and vocalizations written &amp; performed by <a href="https://soundcloud.com/zoeknight/">Zoe Knight</a>, with bass, guitar, drums, spring field recordings, production, and mixing by James Lindenschmidt.

<h1>Like A Dragon Newly Woken</h1>
<h2>Red River Rushing</h2>
by Nicolas Guy Williams
deep in the heart ran the rusting river red earth mother rushing // 
under bridge leaping stone past old dripping wood bones // 
carrying the water out to far ocean earth bearing shoulder touching the knowing //
cold as a whisper over grass leaping twilight ground keeping // 
hard the rain&#8217;s weeping stand upon cloud drenched land moans // 
deep in the heart ran the rusting river red earth mother rushing //
through city&#8217;s soul shivers drenched by the cleansing // 
left handed path bouncing and bounding echo of rain on glass making tones // 
carrying the water out to far ocean earth bearing shoulder touching the knowing //
the mud brown sliver shivering river bed broken and hushing // 
ocean&#8217;s demand to break over land like ice creaking over glacial stones // 
deep in the heart ran the rusting river red earth mother rushing //
through moist eye surface oh come hither dry wither cease thy shivering // 
upon soaked sand ending dry land&#8217;s hold upon songs long forgotten by the wisdom of crones // 
carrying the water out to far ocean earth bearing shoulder touching the knowing //
the feet of old mister dark coat floating memory of boating // 
through hardship unplanned by death and the sound of ships and their bones // 
deep in the heart ran the rusting river red earth mother rushing // 
carrying the water out to far ocean earth bearing shoulder touching the knowing
<h2>Spirit of the Aquifer</h2>
by Lorna Smithers, voiced by Lorna and Peter
In eighteen eighty four 
a monolithic feat of engineering 
shifts the Ribble&#8217;s course: 
no water to the springs.
From the hill&#8217;s abyssal deep 
a rumbling of the bowels, 
a vexed aquatic shriek: 
no water to the wells.
Breached within the chasm 
a dragon lies gasping 
with a pain she cannot fathom: 
no water to the springs.
Water table reft 
her giving womb unswells, 
surging through the clefts: 
no water to the wells.
Unravelling inside 
her serpent magic streams 
to join the angry tides: 
no water to the springs.
Culverted and banked 
her serpent powers fail, 
leaking dry and cracked: 
no water to the wells. 
The spinning dragon-girl 
tumbles from her swing 
and slips to the underworld: 
no water to the springs.
Her spirit will not rise 
through the dead and empty tunnels, 
disconsolate we cry: 
no water to the wells.
The hill, no longer healing 
stands broken of its spell, 
no water to the springs, 
no water to the wells. 
<h2>Four Wells</h2>
by Lorna Smithers, voiced by Peter and Nick
Four wells at Little Plumpton. 
Four wells at Roseacre. 
Four wells in the darkness 
between drilling and decision.
Four wells of steel meets shale. 
Four wells boring into the mind. 
Four wells of screaming poison. 
Four wells of deadly sands of time.
Four wells? A gaseous question 
scorches ears of invisible skies. 
Four wells? An uneasy whisper 
from underworld gods.
Four wells to decide the future. 
Four wells of choice. Four wells of trembling. 
By word on four wells our land 
will be saved or destroyed.
<h2>Drill Rig</h2>
by Nicolas Guy Williams, voiced by Nick and Lorna
it is like a metal horse 
eating the earth 
that drill 
stood still 
and chewing 
through layers of my stone skin
it is like a robot mosquito 
sucking the earthblood 
that drill 
stood still 
and sucking 
through the veins of my flesh
it is like a metal tick 
consuming the lifeforce 
that drill 
stood still 
and feeding 
all bloated on the stuff of my soul
it can&#8217;t hear me screaming 
it can&#8217;t hear me screaming 
it can&#8217;t hear me shout 
it can&#8217;t hear me shout 
it can&#8217;t hear its poison 
it can&#8217;t hear its poison 
dissolving me out 
to a gas not worth breathing 
it&#8217;s burning 
it&#8217;s burning 
i&#8217;m screaming 
i&#8217;m screaming 
its waste is my doubt
<h2>Anti-fracking Soliloquy</h2>
by Nicolas Guy Williams, voiced by Peter
the time of winter&#8217;s love does come 
upon the hearth and on the stone 
it creeps in moss and through the trees 
the portal of the dead to see 
the whispering wind doth stretch its hand 
to claim the passion of the land and thus 
curl around lost summer&#8217;s leaves 
to shake the branch the sun to breathe 
and pierce the bones of all the folk 
of forest fell of hill and mount 
the love of ice the love of frost 
whose cold caress creeps in the dark 
around the house around the hill 
the rivers rise the rain comes down 
the sun grows pale the moon demands 
that earth to cold doth turn its hand 
but summer spirit seeks still its turn 
the air may learn the air may learn 
that by the hand of man and sun 
the atmosphere alerts 
as do the chemicals in the earth 
and now they seek 
oh yes they seek 
to gather more unto the bleak 
they seek to frack 
the hypodermic toxic jack 
and spill the winter&#8217;s love 
but spring is strong inside our hearts 
and the fight against fracking is our fire 
as deep as our old sun 
we start 
in the love of winter 
in the love of glistening mother earth 
and from our heart we start
<h2>Proud of Preston</h2>
by Lorna Smithers
The voice of Belisama, goddess of the Ribble:
Proud of Preston heed my entry 
Hear the call of ancient memories 
Hearts purloined by Roman sentries 
Like a river shining bright.
Proud of Preston born free traders 
Made by commerce and hard labour 
Merchants gilded artists favored 
Like the Brigantes warred in tribes.
Mechanics shift the scene of battle 
Raise the red brick smog industrial 
Cording hearts like twisting material 
On the wheels of the cotton lords.
Step the Chartists to the engines 
Pull the plugs release the tension 
The rioters face the sentries 
Dye the river dark with blood.
Grey arise the business faceless 
Fake fulfillment for the faithless 
Mass the market for the tasteless 
Selling life for capital.
High in the stone fortress 
The sentries hold their rule 
Beyond the mall and office 
Do you hear a river call?
Proud of Preston I have carved you 
In my sweeping spirit formed you 
Through your veins floods dazzling water 
My Setantii shining bright.
Will you hearken to my entry 
Drown false dreams in ancient memories 
Will the proud of Preston 
Like a shining river rise?
<h2>The Activist Said</h2>
by Nicolas Guy Williams, voiced by Nick and Peter
is like a bush-break-bead-bone born from what the hurricane missed
this oh so nonchalant idea of distance 
sun seared so cerebral tone that crone-corn in the drying field a fist ferocious free fall frozen in street moments
gaze grown atonements of a prize-praised eye
oh so diligent in polite society
here is the bombchord the cold ordered class called
what pierceth earth doth pierceth heart like broken glass like broken glass
do i have to ask which Herculean task this voice must break over the record of a snake sneered volatile habit of wrong thought
ain&#8217;t no money-honey in the poor in the poor
and whilst virgin forest is persecuted for gold 
whilst industry doth chemical-rape our innocent earth 
and whilst bankuponbank can take from folk both home and hearth for their false wealth 
we will live in the fierce dawn like that first fire 
draw line-carved dont&#8217;s across their most hearted won&#8217;t-stops 
and be in our strong silence stoic grim 
where thought and voice are force are force 
and revelation is a choice a choice
and stand on stone with stone born mind 
with eyes that set their worlds on fire

Thompson</a>. This episode features an interview with the author, discussing the context of his book.
<blockquote>&#8220;What I see as the crisis of the modern world is that we are trained, if not brainwashed, to see the world as being dead. Dead matter. Not infused with spirit. And so, because of this mentality which was shared by both the capitalist world and the authoritarian communist regimes&#8230; we have done so much damage to the environment that Earth won&#8217;t be able to sustain a complex civilization like ours for much longer if we don&#8217;t change course. So my argument is that we need to return to a conception of the world as being absolutely filled with spirit, an animistic conception of the world, which is the core idea of pagan religion.&#8221; 
&#8211;C.S. Thompson,</blockquote>
There are several poems in the book, two of which, &#8220;To The Goddess Of The City&#8221; and &#8220;To The God Of The Wood&#8221;, were performed by <a href="http://www.joiegrandbois.blogspot.com/">Joie Grandbois</a> for this episode.
