  • Syncretism in the Land of Sacred Stones w/ Holly Walters - This Anthro Life
    Sometimes ethnographic investigations are pretty straight forward.

Join us as we talk with Anthropologist Holly Walters on her dissertation work at Muktinath, Nepal and learn about the sacred stones that draw people in as well as spreading out across the globe.
