Fireside Chats: Spinning a Yarn with Dasos Crowsong

This week, we sat down with someone who is without a doubt one of the most fascinating human beings that we have ever encountered. Dasos Crowsong is a parent, writer, fiber artist, wand maker, jewelry maker, and a full-blown honest-to-goodness Druid. We talk about Druidry and how it fits into the modern world. We talk about what it means to him and how it has helped him make sense of his world. A little bit about the history of the order he belongs to, but most importantly, we delve into the incredible story of how he managed to make it from a young gay man growing up in a southern Baptist household, through drug addiction to recovery, to the powerful and inspiring artist that he is today. It is a story that everyone should hear. Go and support Dasos in everything that he does. Enjoy! Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position.
