Description

Ever wondered why your Christmas tree might be a matter of religious contention? Or got puzzled over how an Easter egg hunt could be a bridge between diverging belief systems? Join us as we unravel the curious connections between Christian holidays and pagan traditions in this dynamic edition of Pagan Coffee Talk. From dissecting those viral social media posts that point out pagan practices in our holidays, to probing the precarious topic of cultural appropriation, we journey into the heart of a heated debate. We conclude that a peaceful coexistence between different belief systems is not only possible but necessary – all it takes is a little respect and tolerance.But the journey doesn't end there. We take a detour into the world of holiday representation, expressing our vexation with the fight for uniqueness and the abysmal lack of inclusivity in holiday greetings. And while we're at it, we put under the spotlight the irony of Pagans perpetuating the same behavior they have often experienced from Christians. In our quest for a more inclusive holiday season, we stress the need for education without shaming, and celebration without judgment. So, come along, enjoy your holiday traditions, and let's wrap this up over some coffee. Support the showJoin us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MdcMwqUjPZFacebook: (7) Life Temple and Seminary | Facebook
