BTW 54: Entering the Otherworld with Danica Boyce

In this episode we talk with Danica Boyce, creator of the Fairfolk Podcast, about paganism, the otherworld, and folk traditions of abundance.

Tune in as we discuss the difference between Paganism vs. Neo paganism; explore the meaning of earth-centered spirituality; how there IS a continuity of paganism from pre-Christian times; the radical idea that the earth is inherently good; whether or not the otherworld exists, and if it does, how we get there; what we mean when we say "Spirit"; desire as the force that moves us; what's wrong with the theory of evolution; the sacred; the Pagan holiday of Lunasa; “dark and twisted” monsters who live in caves; how music and poetry creates the world; and how polyphonic music changes our perception of reality. And so much more!

Danica is an online pagan educator and life and business coach. She is known for her podcast Fair Folk, a project dedicated to sharing the sacred song and folk traditions of Europe. She uses the lens of abundance mindset and conscious embodiment to approach personal liberation and the revival of nourishing and sustainable traditional culture.

I surrender this year to the night." (If you like this chant we highly recommend grabbing a copy of this book.
