What it's All About:

This is another request from a listener on Quora. I would also like to mention another topic that I find hard to talk about without it being a scientific topic. However, the seasons are all about cycles and change, which is why they are so important. Even writing here is difficult for me. Despite this, everyone knows that the seasons have something to do with paganism in some way. I'll explain more about it in the show. The Spirit Guides of the week are the Horae and the Dream Symbols are Music and Tattoo.

What it's All About:
A listener from Quora requested this. I was asked to do a show on Ocean Magic. Because it does sound interesting, I'll try to talk as much as possible about it. If you'd like to suggest a topic, I don't know how you can reach me on Quora, but you can still let me know in the comments. Or there are other ways to do that which I will mention in the podcast. The spirit guide of the week is the Unicorn, and the dream symbols are jam, jaw, and jeans.

What it's All About:

What it's All About:

It's all about the ancient Mayans. This culture has a deep connection to nature that many of us can learn from and incorporate into our own modern pagan practices. This civilization is known for its detailed astrological knowledge, its connection with the earth, its respect for nature, its connection with the stars, as well as its detailed understanding of how these things affect our lives. There is also a strong connection between Mayan culture and the spiritual world. I will discuss this all on show. The spirit of the week is Ixchel and the dream symbols are television and police.

What it's All About:
Another Middle Eastern form of paganism. It is somewhat similar to Mesopotamian paganism. Much like the Romans borrowed the Greek gods from the Greeks, Mesopotamia borrowed from tribes like the Sumerians. I will discuss some interesting facts about the ancient Sumerians and how this pantheon can be incorporated into modern paganism. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Ereshkigal. And the Dream Symbols are Sandals, Scalp, and Sea.

What it's All About:

One of the most popular forms of paganism is this. It is also somewhat difficult to discuss. Why? Most of the myths of ancient Rome are actually influenced by the myths of ancient Greece. The only difference is the names of the gods. There are added myths and rituals which I will discuss here. I know I will talk about their festivals, two of which are now modern holidays. Maybe we can talk about how Modern Roman Paganism is practiced today. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Venus. The Dream Symbols are inflatable mattress, inspection, and necklace.
