Forest Spirituality with Julie Brett Julie Brett

In this episode I interview Luke Eastwood about his latest books as well as the magazine he edits called Pagan Ireland. We talk about how Paganism and Druidry have changed over time, the changing dynamics around culture, identity and diversity, and the importance of engaging with both the changing face of Druidry through time, and the need for maintaining the integrity of our storytelling traditions. The book titles are:
A Path Through the Forest - out soon
Samhain: The Roots of Halloween
Dingle Folk Tales
Kerry Folk Tales
Luke's website is: www.lukeeastwood.com

In this episode I interview author and artist Laura Perry from the USA about Minoan Spirituality. She helps us to understand the sources of information and the processes around forming a modern practice from an ancient tradition. We discuss the modern practices that have formed from this exploration, and how relevant the Minoans can be to us today as we form traditions that are inclusive and accessible to all.

In this episode I speak with Reverend Jean Drum, the Arch Druid from Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF). We have a candid chat about our personal experiences in Druidry, the international Druidry experience, the history and structure of ADF and Jean's humble way of approaching leadership and the role of clergy. ADF has a church-like structure so differs from other forms of Druidry. In this episode we discuss those differences, and explore the wonderful opportunities for leaning and building community that ADF offers to the global Druidry community.
