Embark on a journey into the rich tapestry of paganism with me, Matt, as your guide on Old Gods and New Pagans. Discover the word 'pagan' in a new light, tracing its origins from ancient Latin to the myriad of modern interpretations that have often been misunderstood. We'll navigate the fascinating landscape of belief systems, ranging from the oldest, Hinduism, to Norse, Celtic, and even lesser-known paths like Druidry and Hellenism. Unearth the links that unite pagan gods across different cultures, and witness the revival of indigenous practices that continue to thrive globally.
Venture deeper into the spiritual essence of paganism as we explore animism, a belief central to many pagan traditions. Learn about the profound respect for all aspects of nature, where mountains and rivers are as enlivened as any creature, and even inanimate objects command reverence for their spirit. This episode isn't just about gods and rituals; it's an invitation to perceive the world through a lens where divine energy connects us all, shaping a foundation for the veneration of the natural world that pagans hold dear. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary curiosity.
