SHEathenry: The Podcast

This is part two of our interview with Destiny Ballard about racism. Heathenry has had a problem with racism in the US from its beginning. After the atrocious acts of violence and domestic terrorism by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12th, we felt it was time to start talking about racism in Heathenry. If we don’t talk about it, we’ll never overcome it. This week Alvilldr and Lauren speak to Destiny Ballard. The interview went so long that we’ve broken it into two parts.

This week you'll get to hear the presentation that Alvilldr has given at Trothmoot, the Mystic South Conference, and the Conference of Heathen Women. This presentation utilized voice recordings of women she interviewed for her book. For some of the recordings, however, voice actors were used due to some of the original recordings being of poor quality.
