What it's All About:This is another request from a listener on Quora. I would also like to mention another topic that I find hard to talk about without it being a scientific topic. However, the seasons are all about cycles and change, which is why they are so important. Even writing here is difficult for me. Despite this, everyone knows that the seasons have something to do with paganism in some way. I'll explain more about it in the show. The Spirit Guides of the week are the Horae and the Dream Symbols are Music and Tattoo.Songs Featured:1. The Breath of Forever by George Pendred2. Stolen Season by S. J. Tucker3.

What it's All About:It's all about the ancient Mayans. This culture has a deep connection to nature that many of us can learn from and incorporate into our own modern pagan practices. This civilization is known for its detailed astrological knowledge, its connection with the earth, its respect for nature, its connection with the stars, as well as its detailed understanding of how these things affect our lives. There is also a strong connection between Mayan culture and the spiritual world. I will discuss this all on show.

What it's All About:Another Middle Eastern form of paganism. It is somewhat similar to Mesopotamian paganism.

What it's All About:One of the most popular forms of paganism is this. It is also somewhat difficult to discuss. Why? Most of the myths of ancient Rome are actually influenced by the myths of ancient Greece. The only difference is the names of the gods. There are added myths and rituals which I will discuss here. I know I will talk about their festivals, two of which are now modern holidays. Maybe we can talk about how Modern Roman Paganism is practiced today. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Venus. The Dream Symbols are inflatable mattress, inspection, and necklace.Songs Featured:1. Het Verbond Met Rome by Heidevolk2. Augeries of Love by OMNIA3. Lupercalia by Faun4. Venus and the Fly by KIVA5.
