What if embracing community could transform your pagan practice? Join me, Matt Holloway, on this enlightening episode of "Old Gods, New Pagans" as we explore how building strong communal bonds can elevate your spiritual journey. We journey through historical contexts, examining the significance of pagan communities from family units to regional gatherings, and discuss how modern pagans can replicate these connections. I share my personal experiences, from intimate friend groups with diverse practices to larger organizations like the Pagan Project, which aims to promote public understanding and awareness of paganism.
Dive into practical steps for fostering and maintaining vibrant pagan communities, whether through shared rituals, unique altar setups, or seasonal gatherings. Discover the parallels between pagan communities and other religious groups, and learn how to balance solo practice with community engagement. We'll also discuss the power of online platforms like Discord in building global connections, and provide tips for maintaining relationships with non-pagan friends and family. To round off the episode, find out how you can actively participate in the Pagan Project through social media, volunteering, or simply sharing your experiences, contributing to a supportive and growing network.
