Episode Synopsis

This week, it’s Margo, Gwen, Maeve, and Brian— yes, the usual suspects— gathered ‘round our well-loved, wax-stained, definitely-seen-some-things coffee table. We’ve got candles burning, notebooks open, and a tasty little black cherry cider from BC on the side (because we’re fancy like that). But tonight’s topic? Oh, just a little something light and breezy like... Paganism and Clergy.Yep—we’re going there.Paganism and Clergy.Let’s be real: it’s not something you hear about every day in the wider world, but in our communities, it’s a conversation that’s long overdue.We’re asking the big stuff:🕯️ What is "clergy" , Pagan-style?🕯️ Do we need it, or are we all just DIY priests and priestesses anyway?🕯️ Who gets to say they’re clergy, and is there a secret Pagan paperwork club no one told us about?🕯️ Most importantly, what does this look like in practice? From hospital visits and end-of-life care to handfastings and community rituals… does having a go-to spiritual person make a difference?We’re getting into it with all the honesty, sass, and side-eye you’d expect. No gatekeeping, no fluff—just a real convo about leadership, service, and support in our modern Pagan lives.✨ CALL TO ACTION: Okay, your turn.Have you ever worked with clergy in a Pagan context, or been one? Do you think formal roles help or hurt the path? Got a spicy take on who gets to call themselves a High Priestess?We wanna hear it!Drop us a message, leave a comment, howl at the moon—whatever works.
