BYM017 - Rahman Easter

Late in the spring, a person crouches at the edge of a river and slowly drops eggshells into the water...what are they doing? Are they feeding the fish? Throwing away the leftovers of their lunch? Adding calcium to the water supply? If they are in Ukraine or Belarus, what you might be witnessing is part of the ritual of Rahman easter, a ritual that is nowadays associated with the Christian holiday but goes back to ancient pagan times. What are they doing and who are the mysterious Rahman? In this episode, Madame Pamita will teach you about this ancient tradition and all the magic associated with it. Save those springtime eggshells and let’s make some magic!
