Weird Tales Radio Show #32: Mad Jack Mytton and Anglo-Saxon Heathenism Redux - 6th September 2018

6/9/2018

Episode #32 - 6th September of the Weird Tales Radio Show podcast is available now on all the usual podcast platforms and contains the second in our series of interviews on neo-paganism today. The focus this time is the American revival of interest in Anglo-Saxon heathenism and the Theodish Belief in particular (which seems to involve a lot of eating and beer drinking). Our interviewee's favourite movie is The Wicker Man "because the good guys win"! We also have news on the latest hauntings and the ghost of the distinctly crazy Mad Jack Mytton. And, in our Practical Magick slot, we look at the Top 7 Reasons Why Your Magick Spells Fail.
