Due to how many episodes of the Pagan Centered Podcast there have been, many people may lose track of terminology we use on the show and how we use it. This is by no means applies to everyone, merely how we use certain terms which may or may not coincide with how the terms are used by other members of the Pagan Community
We often reference the following:
For information on various religious traditions we may mention, check out this MySpace forum thread.
Based off this skit from “The IT Crowd,” a British comedy program airing on Channel 4.
A joke about someone who posted to Witchvox that the Earth was somehow angry and Pagans should return energy to the Earth or else karma would strike 21-fold… or something to that effect. Also a mockery of how Pagans tend to one-up each other on how many times Karma comes back at you. It started with 3, then it was 5..7..9..11..13.. pretty much every odd number up to 21. No one has seriously proclaimed Karma comes back at you more than 21 fold… yet. See the episode titled “Seriously… 21-fold” for details.
Dave’s phone number in college.
A running joke that Dave must be an Air elemental due to umm… certain bodily functions 
Ironic since it is seen as the opposite element of what Dave really is, Earth. Unfortunately, this is not assisted by the fact Dave has served as the Air element in virtually all rituals he’s taken part in.
When you can’t get your Altar up (properly).
Euphemism for Dave
Young wanna-be goth-emo kids.
A young bald-headed individual that was for the duration the crew of the podcast knew him was a sterotypical Gardnerian. He wore his robe and sandles everywhere, with nothing underneath. As a result he was curious as to why he was so cold in the winter and why people would give him weird looks at the local Wal-Mart. By Dave’s decree, all episodes of PCP must contain at least one Barrett reference. This decree was later amended to include either a Barrett reference or a reference to “The Bitch.” Attentive listeners will note not all episodes contain a Barrett reference however. Can you name those episodes? (See also: I’m Bleeding Profusely)
Pseudonym for the one who has dated the majority of the male cast of the podcast.
Nickname for WPSH in Hazleton, based off how “Psh” sounds like a sound effect of a bitch slap.
A former regular of the show, was forced to leave when he failed to meet financial obligations to one of the Podcasters. Rarely said much and was often jokingly referred to as being homosexual - which made things awkward for some when it turned out he really was gay.
Jason one day created Ceremonial Wine with one of the ingredients being his own blood. This is funny because he made it then couldn’t remember which bottle he put it in for a few minutes. Ashlee and Dave are now very careful about drinking wine offered by Jason.
Known officially as Mystics Cove Pagan Network of Clarion University of Pennsylvania and later as the Clarion Area Pagan Association of Clarion University of Pennsylvania. This group was co-founded by Dave, later with Ashlee as Vice-President and eventually Amber taking over Ashlee’s duties when Ashlee left the group due to no one showing up to a community service event other than herself, Dave and Barrett despite several people signing up for the event.
Pseudonym for Ashlee
Pseudonym for Amber (see Cult of Amber).
A mockery of how religions are created. It started with a bizarre idea and random people claiming Amber was the Creator of the Universe. Later it was a mockery of how popular Pagan personalities (especially Pagan Podcasters) have a tendency to simply create a tradition of their own and expect their listeners to become followers of that tradition.
Euphemism for Ashlee
We have no clue what this is supposed to be either, sorry.
A term used to describe giving someone a complement in such a way that it boosts their ego.
The non-ritualistic use of chi energy to achieve a goal. Further discussion on the blog.
Jason once time deleted 2 raw recordings of PCP by not knowing how to use the “New” command in the “File” menu in our audio recording program. As a result close to 3 hours of work was lost and overwritten with a test clip of Amber on Skype. The episodes were later re-recorded.
Jokingly referred to as the only listener of our podcast is a die hard listener who has frequent contact with the hosts and listens to all of our live shows. Yes, if you become this hardcore of a fan, we will put you in our dictionary of PCPisms 
Does not denote experience within a faith. Instead it describes individuals who join a partcular faith as a fad, for status or for self-aggrandizement… OR simply lack a thourough understanding of their faith and as a result make silly statements like “Never Again The Burning Times” when there were no Burning Times to begin with. We usually use this term on occasion to describe someone that in the words of Dr. LeVay would be called a “white-lighter.”
Indicative of something that is not well thought out that a Fluffy Bunny would sterotypoically do.
Something frequently muttered by Jason when he’s angry and performing sensitive electronics work. For the record, Jason is excellent at doing the electronics stuff.
A term used to describe a municipality with an abnormally high concentration of religious fundamentalists regardless of religion, often a Christ-centered religion.
Used in place of “Touche.” This phrase originated when some senile old person at a party Ashlee was attending kept saying this phrase over and over. Ashlee eventually did meet Moe.
A running joke that people (commonly those with a furry sexual fetish) that claim to be Otherkin solely to have sex with animals love wearing fur suits during intercourse.
A character played by Jason in skits, often involving sexual advances at characters portrayed by Ashlee. Ironic since Ashlee often claims to be a Goddess on the program.
A place Ashlee, Jason and Dave don’t want to go to otherwise they’ll have to deal with Christian Fundamentalists for eternity.
This is a saying commonly associated with Barrett. One day when he was at Amber’s former apartment, he was in his usual garb (see: Barrett). He left his Athame on a couch and when he went to sit down, he sat right on it. His initial reaction was screaming “I’m Bleeding Profusely!” as he bled from his posterior.
A reference to the remake of the Wicker Man where the original plot was twisted into a mockery of the original where the protaganist is allergic to Killer Bees… as opposed to getting burned to death in a Wicker Man.
Synonym for Psionic link.
See Magick.
One of Ashlee’s ex-boyfriends. He is notorious for being stupid and a complete asshole. Also known as the “New Barret.” His claim to fame: Uses actual Magic the Gathering cards to do magick. Yes, you heard me right. Magic the Gathering. Also well known for choosing World of Warcraft over sexual intercourse. Furthermore, Mark is known for his inability to read or properly speak the English language saying phrases such as “Release his vowels.” For a sample of his speech, please refer to this forum thread on the Cult of Amber.
Someone who is chronically attention whoring by means of metaphysics. They’re always under attack by some being or they’re some metaphysically important individual or whatever bla bla bla.
As we use it: A term to describe a New-Age/Hippy sub-culture of Paganism. This definition is based off experiences of those who self-identify as Neo-Pagan vs. those who self-identify as Pagan. (See also: Paganism)
A mockery of Jason’s intolerance to pain. One episode we had a tiny plastic football we were tossing around the studio and Ashlee wanted to hit Jason in the head. Instead, it hit Jason’s eye and he replied with “Ow, My Eye!” Ashlee then yelled at him saying it couldn’t possibly have hurt that much. - It was a quote taken from “That 70’s Show” where the character of Kelso always got hit in the eye.
As we use it: A person who identifies themselves as having a faith other than Islam, Christianity or Judaism and embraces Paganism.
As we use it: The general culture of Pagans. (See also: Neo-Paganism)
Describes a person’s collection of beliefs which may or may not be a religion.
As we use it: describes a figure of an interwoven five-pointed star circumscribed with a circle. Describes the figure, not any physical representation of that symbol (e.g. necklace)
Synonym for pentacle (as we use it).
Euphemism for Brandon
Pronounced p-owned. It is when The Universe gets a good chuckle at screwing someone over just when they thought they were in the clear. An example based on something that happened: a speeder slows down to not get a speeding ticket from a trooper parked along the side of an Interstate - a mile later thinking they are in the clear, they put the pedal back to the metal. As they do this, another trooper pulls onto the interstate from an on-ramp and before they can take any action to cover up their speeding, they get pulled over. That driver got pwn3d.
An individual who used to be Catholic (usually Roman Catholic) and is now on a Pagan path.
This quote originated from Ashlee’s now ex-boyfriend Mark. He was describing the South Park Episode titled Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes where Cartman makes a bet that the last thing a person does before they die is release their bowels. Unfortunately, he said “release their vowels.” This later transformed into a sexual innuendo where he would make Ashlee release her vowels in the bedroom during her orgasm, screaming “A!… E!…. I!…. OOooo!… U!… … and sometimes Y!”
Ritual
A phrase designed to mock those who are vegans for political reasons - not caring that Plants are just as much alive as flesh and blood beings. Often these folks send e-mails saying “Save the Whales.” Dave got a crap ton of these when the podcast first started, after which he responded “I don’t give a S..t about the Whales!” They claim to want to save life, these vegans kill dozens plants for their salads like there’s no tomorrow. We prefer to just kill 1 cow and eat beef for a month.
Nick’s Nickname. This would be referring to our first fan in the UK named Nick.
An individual, typically one who practices Reiki, and due to absorbing all energies is now disconnected from their physical body, as if their astral form is floating above their physical body. Their aura can resemble taking a bunch of oil paint, mixing it together and putting it in water - a floating glob of eww.
A nickname given to Dave’s successor who took over the Clarion Group when he stepped down. The nickname was given by the Pagan community as a whole based off her being a Fire Elemental at a mock ritual held on the Clarion University Campus in which she said “I’m the Spirit of Fire.”
A mock combination of the Slashdot Effect with the Colbert Bump. In an effort to exaggerate the awesomeness and popularity of our podcast despite only having a few hundred listeners combined with the Season 7 theme of Dave being a Pagan Stephen Colbert, anything that happens that in any way vaguely resembles anything discussed on the program has now been termed The PCP Effect. Additionally, if any websites we recommend go down within close temporal proximity to when we recommended them, that is also considered The PCP Effect.
The PCP Effect is portrayed as being the effect of PCP to manipulate the world population. However, in reality, it is likely just something borderlining synchronicity.
A mockery of how energy work is portrayed in movies, specifically The Covenant where Ashlee remarked that magic looked like translucent jello.
Pseudonym for Jason.
Euphemism for Adam from the Stroudsburg area.
Synonym for whatever force you believe is responsible for Karma.
A mythical place located at the Vatican where supposedly documents and relics of all the secrets of the Universe previously known by mankind that the Catholic faith doesn’t want their followers to know about are stored. Often thought to be a warehouse of useful and powerful metaphysical information used to help defend the Catholic faith and its leaders.
Formerly the Mystics Cove Pagan Network, they were the parent organization of the Clarion Group. During a period of time when this organization was lacking in membership, they would attend Clarion Group functions as if they were their own.
Someone who is excessively a Right-Hand-Pather. They believe in ultra-tolerance and a lack of evil in the universe. They lack balance and as a result are frequently pwn3d by The Universe.
A phrase used to convey a degree of disliking for members of the Furry community.
