Episode 13: Continuing Pagan Education

In today's episode, we discuss scholarly education in the Pagan community. Victoria discusses her experiences with the first circle of the ADF Clergy Training Program. Drum discusses scholarship as a way to explore how different paths work and broadening his practice. Amber discusses her passion as a scholar, completing ADF study programs as a way to build her toolkit.  We explore mythological comparisons, biases found in ancient texts, the bounty of the internet and modern scholars like Kristoffer Hughes. We also discuss study programs outside of ADF, practical coursework as clergy, and whether we think advanced study is an important part of someone’s practice. We discuss the availability of online courses and discernment when selecting teachers, courses, and resources, as well as how we utilize Wikipedia. This week’s omen comes from the Magick Moon Oracle: The Chameleon – adapt to the situation in order to keep moving forward The Passionate – finding what you love in the moment and focusing on those things Reflect – reflect on why these things are important and why they matter Resources we discussed today: Becoming Clergy in ADF: https://www.adf.org/training/becoming-clergy.html ADF Study Programs: https://www.adf.org/training-practice Academia.edu: https://www.academia.edu/ Kristoffer Hughes: https://www.facebook.com/Kristoffer-Hughes-103074218236635 OBOD: https://druidry.org/ British Druid Order: https://www.druidry.co.uk/ Hellenion: http://www.hellenion.org/ Philip Carr-Gomm - https://www.philipcarr-gomm.com/ Magic Moon Oracle Deck - https://www.sweetbdesign.com/shop/oracle/magick-moon We hope you enjoyed this week's episode.  We look forward to seeing you again soon.
