What it's All About:

This week, I'm bringing you an episode about "Paganism in Film and TV." I'll be looking at how ideas from paganism, including witchcraft and nature-based spirituality, appear in popular media. We'll consider the general ways these themes are presented, from positive portrayals that offer thoughtful perspectives to ongoing common misconceptions that shape public understanding.

Join me as I examine the overall impact these presentations have on how paganism is understood by broader audiences and within our own community. I'll discuss the recurring magical and mystical elements, and how our spiritual path is sometimes reflected on screen.
