044: Pagans, They're Just Like Us!

This week we went to visit a Pagan worship service celebrating the Pagan new year, "Samhain" (sounds like "Sah-oo-in" in two syllables).  Rather than becoming apostate heretics, we find ourselves at home in the Pagan rituals, as we draw the connections between what we've always done as Christians and the rituals based on those of older cultures, especially in medieval Europe.  We are joined by Jake, who gives us the low-down on Paganism/Wicca and helps dispel some misconceptions. We talk about the history of neo-paganism, and Wicca.  We define terms like "coven" "magick" "spell" and we talk about how we have all of these things in Christianity, just under different names.  It turns out that Pagans are just like us!  Finally, we tell about our experience in the circle, what we saw and felt, and how we interpreted it from our faith perspective.
