What it's All About:

Anglo-Saxon Pagans are a loose label used to describe the diverse group of historically Pagan peoples living in the territory of modern England, beginning with Germanic peoples during the 5th century and continuing into the present. They may share certain commonalities with Modern Paganism, such as reverence for nature and other animals (particularly equine), divination practices, and seasonal celebrations. However, they may also differ in beliefs and practices that reflect their diverse origins and varying understandings of what makes up "pagan." For example, while Anglo-Saxon Pagans may share some commonalities with Modern Paganism, they may also have different understandings of what makes up "pagan" tradition. This is what I am going to discuss on this podcast. The spirit guide of the week is Eostre and the dream symbols are serial killer, sewing machine, and shaving.

Small town Pagans are people who live in small rural communities. A lot of these Pagans live solitary lifestyles and don't have anyone to socialize with, so they find community online or go to small festivals. Small town Pagans are just as much a part of the Pagan community as anybody else. They're still part of the global movement even if they don't go to every event or connect with everyone they'd like. I'll be discussing that and more in this podcast. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Rat and the Dream Symbols are New, News, and Newspaper.

What it's All About:

Back to our regularly scheduled program. Narcissism is every, even in the pagan community. The allure of Neo-Paganism is partly due to its emphasis on community and inclusivity. However, an emphasis on community also requires an ability to put oneself second—or at least be open to doing so—and this can be difficult for those with narcissistic tendencies. Many Pagans see Neo-Paganism as a safe space where they can be their true selves without judgment or fear of reprisal; however, this can be hard for those with narcissistic tendencies because they crave praise and adulation from other people. And some of these narcissists can be quite successful in the Pagan community by becoming leaders and teachers. But this is dangerous. I will explore this topic in more detail in the podcast. You can probably guess who the spirit guide of the week is. I am going to mention them here. However, the dream symbols are: Immolation, Instrument, and Iron.

What it's All About:

It's all about the ancient Mayans. This culture has a deep connection to nature that many of us can learn from and incorporate into our own modern pagan practices. This civilization is known for its detailed astrological knowledge, its connection with the earth, its respect for nature, its connection with the stars, as well as its detailed understanding of how these things affect our lives. There is also a strong connection between Mayan culture and the spiritual world. I will discuss this all on show. The spirit of the week is Ixchel and the dream symbols are television and police.
