I've never done an episode like this before, but it is something I want to explore more.

Recently, there's a hashtag going around the Pagan community that's causing some disruption. It's #SayNoToPlasticWitchcraft. So, let's talk about it.

It can be hard to learn new things as an adult - or as someone who is no longer in a "typical" school or education setting - and sometimes we don't know where to start. But let me tell you, it's never too late to start learning something new!

Mabon//Autumn Equinox is the second of the three Celtic harvest festivals. It is also the second equinox, meaning that the dates will vary by year depending on the alignment of the Earth and its rotation. At this time of the year, the days and nights are equal in length, and, moving forward, we will start our descent into the dark half of the year.

I have grown in my spirituality, and some things have shifted for me. Tune in to listen while we revisit the ideas behind the different "-theisms", their definitions, and how I've grown to know them.

~ Atheism - a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods
~ Henotheism - the worship of one god without denying the existence of other gods
~ Monotheism - the doctrine or belief that there is but one God
~ Duotheism - not in the dictionary, but often used to describe the belief in two deities; traditional Wicca, for example
~ Polytheism - belief in or worship of more than one god
~ Pantheism - a doctrine that equates God with the forces and laws of the universe
~ Theism - belief in the existence of a god or gods

~ Hard vs. Soft Polytheism? Is it a thing?

Is Wicca inherently duotheistic? Monotheistic? That depends on how you see the Gods. Are they their own beings, or do you believe in them as archetypes? That is duotheism, not polytheism.

Can soft polytheism be a thing when, semantically, you're just describing duotheism or monotheism if you believe all Gods are one God and all Goddesses are one Goddess?

NOTE:: I'm sorry for the background noise and noisy interruptions (wind, plane, etc.). It was nice when we first started recording and I didn't realize how loud the sounds would be. I tried to make them as quiet as possible, but alas, it didn't help too much.

Today's episode is a bit short since I'm still getting my bearings with recording in front of a camera as well as editing the audio. My daughter wanted to be in this video too, which was perfect because I spoke about a topic that was actually inspired by a choice she made. So, why is choice important? How do I view this as a Pagan and Wiccan? How does this affect my parenting? And what is the illusion of choice?

We all know that there are marginalized groups out there, and being discriminated against because of your religion is no different. Sometimes you have to find ways to hide in plain sight.
