What it's All About:

Hey listeners!

By popular demand! This episode is a revisit to a classic from 2017, chosen by you in last month's listener poll. Back then, I explored the fascinating world of pagan influences in pop culture, with does include Harry Potter.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• A deep dive into how pagan beliefs and practices are reflected in the themes and storylines of Harry Potter.
• I also discuss Peter Bebergal's book Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll.
• I also explore the broader conversation about pagan influences in popular media of 2017.

Looking Back & Looking Ahead:

While this episode is a throwback, the conversation about paganism's influence on pop culture continues to evolve! Let's chat in the comments! How do you see these connections today? Have you noticed any interesting new trends or examples?
