Episode Synopsis
Discover the true meaning of paganism and why everyone might be a pagan!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, Charlie and Brian discuss the complexities and evolving definitions of the term "pagan" within contemporary spirituality. They explore the historical context of the term, which originally referred to non-Roman religions and has taken on various connotations over time, often used pejoratively by institutionalized churches to marginalize those outside their faith. The hosts emphasize the importance of reclaiming the term "pagan" while recognizing that many self-identified pagans may not see themselves as part of the community. They argue against gatekeeping and the narrow definitions that can exclude individuals from diverse spiritual paths, advocating for inclusivity within paganism. The conversation touches on the need for solidarity among spiritual groups facing external pressures and the internal challenges of community dynamics. Ultimately, the hosts encourage listeners to embrace a broader understanding of paganism that honors its roots while allowing for individual interpretations.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett Substack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/## Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Paganism Debate00:48 Meet the Hosts01:46 The Evolution of the Term 'Pagan'03:42 Historical Context and Persecution08:53 Reclaiming the Term 'Pagan'10:53 Inclusivity in Paganism12:06 The Big Gate Philosophy13:33 Defining Christopaganism14:32 Venn Diagrams of Faith17:58 Facing Persecution19:57 Inclusivity in Paganism21:55 Navigating Labels and Definitions24:06 Final Thoughts and Reflections Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe
