Episode 34 - The Goddess of the Dawn and Reckonings with Time(s)

In this special easter episode, we look at  the curious intersections of a Goddess of the Dawn, the turning point of the Christian calendar and cosmovision, and the way in which time itself was reconceptualized in early medieval Europe, with reverberations and implications for today.  This is an audio essay, not a conversation, and it picks up on threads from some of our earlier work around circular time, the transition into Christianity in Europe, ecclesiastical history, and our ongoing inquiry into the eco-spiritualities necessary to both interpret, respond to, and find faithfulness in the midst of a changing climate.Article Version: The Goddess of the Dawn and Reckonings with Time(s)Written by Sara Jolena Wolcott: Lady Pancakes the Rabbit and related Spring Metaphors… Between metaphors and reality: suggestions for Seasonal InquiryReferences mentioned in this podcast include: Bede, The Reckoning of TimeCS Lewis - The Discarded Image, an introduction to medieval and renaissance literatureGoddess of the Dawn podcast by FairfolkGeorge Musser - The Paradox of Time: Why it can't stop, and mustThe ReMembering Course -  Registrations are accepted through April 8.
