Welcome To Weird Web Radio! I'm your host Lonnie Scott.

This episode features the current ADF Archdruid Jon Drum.

Jon and I cover his beginnings in Paganism, and take that chat all the way to the current day. Of course, we cover hauntings too. Jon and I share a common challenge as well. We are both in leadership positions in Paganism. His is the Archdruid role of ADF. Mine is being on the High Rede of The Troth. That led me to ask him some questions about how he navigates those unique challenges, and also how he feels about the Bonewits scandal.

Some of the topics we cover include:

Earth Mother Finding the Gods Drawing Down The Moon New Reformed Druids of North America Early Days of ADF & Evolution What is a Druid? Becoming Archdruid The Challenges of Pagan Leadership Teamwork Dealing With The Isaac Bonewits Accusations Consent Culture Being A Solitary Pagan Training Pagans Building Community Mentors Scholarship in Paganism Abusers In Religion Working With House Spirits Daily Spiritual Routine Handling Hauntings Recognizing The Hemispheres Message to ADF
