With Ian and Jacob just coming back from Heilung, we decided to discuss how ritual practices continue to evolve and change.

With the upcoming shamanism video, many people have asked about mentorship within pagan practices today. So today Caleb and I, discuss the complicated nature of establishing new mentors in beliefs that used to rely so heavily on them. 

We have several topics to discuss today, including Estonian Paganism, Reputation and its importance, as well as gift giving. As always grab a warm or cold drink, and enjoy the conversation around various pagan subjects!  Community website: https://www.northerntraditions.org/
