In this second episode in our Autumn series of exploring the Christianization of pagan Europe, we're looking at pre-Christian land practices, how Christianity and empire worked together, what this shows us about AI today, and how to become re-enchanted with this wild world. 

Despite not having any other evidence of what went on, Somé's work has been such an integral part of my learning and teaching in the last few years that I feel a call to acknowledge that I'm aware of this accusation and bring an intentional response to it.

This Autumn on the show, we'll be exploring how Christianity became the dominant belief system in Europe from the period of late antiquity into the Middle Ages.

Recently, I was talking with someone about the varying crises and heartbreak pulsing through our world right now, and as our conversation slowed down, she asked, "What do we do?"

In this conversation with Perdita Finn, we discuss some of the richest threads found in her book, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors. We explore how Perdita works with the ancestors, what becomes possible when we do, and how to feel into the breadth of possibility in this moment on Earth.

While the ancestors never leave us, just like the land is always holding us, being in conversation with them is a subtle art. In my experience, they rarely shout at us or rush down the streets of our lives with sirens blaring. Not only do they communicate in more subtle ways, they also wait for us to call them, which we often forget to do.
