Lunar New Year, Jade, and Guan Yin

Join Shannon and Nick for an auditory celebration of Lunar New Year! Nick sheds some light (perhaps from a delicate paper lantern) on this ancient holiday, tells the tale of a blood thirsty dragon that is afraid of the color red (seriously), and they get a little ragey about maps. Shannon gives an introduction to the jade plant and shares a spell to help you draw in some of that sweet, sweet cash money.

In a very exciting deity profile, Nick tells the story of Guan Yin, the Buddhist bodhisattva who is the namesake for one of the tastiest oolong teas of all time – Tieguanyin. The episode finishes with a rant about inconsiderate pet owners putting salamanders in jeopardy.
