Listen "Pagan Roman Deities, Plants, Animal Spirits & Sacred Spaces w/ Rachel S Roberts"
Episode Synopsis
When we dismiss Roman deities as mere copies of Greek gods, we erase centuries of cultural wisdom - just as we'd erase Welsh spirituality by calling it "Norse knock-offs." In this captivating episode of The Pagan Portal Podcast, host Rachel Patterson sits down with flower essence practitioner and pagan scholar Rachel S Roberts for a profound exploration of how land shapes belief, why plant spirits might be your most powerful magical allies, and how to create sacred spaces that actually work.From the volcanic origins of Roman gods to the surprising musical tastes of deities (Fenrir's heavy metal playlist anyone?), this conversation reveals how ancient spiritual concepts apply to modern practice. Discover why altars matter beyond aesthetics, how flower essences can transform creative projects, and why your magical toolkit should change with both the seasons and your personal evolution.Whether you're a dedicated pagan, mythology enthusiast, or simply curious about alternative spiritual paths, this episode offers unexpected insights about honouring the sacred in everyday life.
