Please join Otherworldly on Zoom this Wednesday, 20^th, at 8 PM Eastern time.

Our guest this week will be Jane Sibley, one of the founders of CTCW, MithraCon, and Auntie Arwen’s Spices, and expert on Norse supernatural history and practices: runes, folk lore, ancient healing, Norseworking, metallurgy, and more (below).

This week we’ll be talking about the Roman Saturnalia, and some other midwinter holiday traditions and trivia. Do you love history, or perhaps you’d be interested in learning about holiday cultures that have been time-tested and no one is still around to give you are hard time about appropriating them? Three weeks ago Jane was sharing with us the Northern European Oskoria midwinter holidays, and there is so much more fun stuff to share we had to have her back! This month the internet is full of discussions (ridiculous claims) about the antecedents of Christmas celebrations: what did Christians get from earlier pagan practices? Let’s get some perspective from history lovers.

People are psychic, magick is real, ghosts and other spirits exist, and people can heal with energy. Each culture around the world had come up with ways to explore these realities, and that’s great, we can learn from each other, that’s how we change the world.

The Changing Times-Changing Worlds Conference will be November 3-5, 2023 in Kerhonkson, NY. The rest of the year, every Wednesday, join us on Otherworldly, featuring many of our speakers, and topics. We hope you can join us Wednesday at 8. If you miss this show, the recordings are posted on Youtube Thursday or Friday.
