BS-Free Witchcraft

42. The Myth Who Stole Christmas


Listen Later

On this (very last minute) episode of the podcast, we’re looking at the myths surrounding paganism and Christmas… and how some of the claims that circulate this time of year don’t really have a lot of historical grounding. Or, in some cases, any at all.

Frankly I just needed to do something that isn’t depressing to talk about after last month.

(And, of course, don’t forget this show is part of the Nerd & Tie Podcast Network, and funded by listeners like you via Patreon.)
