In this episode of Ponderings of a Pagan Priest, Papa Onyx delves into the timeless art of storytelling within Pagan traditions. Beginning with the powerful myth of Inanna’s descent into the underworld, we explore the sacred role stories have played in shaping our spiritual paths, guiding personal transformation, and building community. From the ancient oral traditions of bards and druids to the creation of new myths in modern Paganism, storytelling is revealed as a living, evolving practice. Papa Onyx discusses how myths can be teaching tools, rituals in themselves, and mirrors that reflect the values and wisdom of the cultures that created them. We also explore the role of tricksters like Loki and Hermes, the balance between mirth and reverence, and how personal myths shape our spiritual journeys.
Join us by the fire for an engaging conversation about the stories that shape us, connect us, and invite us to grow. Blessed be, and enjoy the episode!
