About this episode

The episode discusses the presence of pagans in everyday life and their connections to former Christian communities.

THE OLD GODS are asserting themselves, and their followers are trying to fulfill the demands of their patron deities. Surprisingly, you wouldn’t recognize a pagan if you bumped into one at the local dollar store. They are your friends, coworkers, and even family members. There is nothing to mark them as a practitioner of Wicca, worshiper of Odin, or ceremonial magician. Carl Teichrib, author of the highly recommended Game of Gods, has spent decades, attending meetings, and gatherings of the followers of the left hand path. He tells us that not only are these people respected members of our community, a surprisingly large number of them were formally deeply involved in Christian churches—which they left because they had questions and needs that went unanswered.
