Christianity, Control, and the Persecution of Goddess Spirituality

Across history, goddess spirituality and pagan traditions have faced suspicion, suppression, and at times outright persecution. In today’s cultural climate, some Christian movements once again frame earth-based and goddess-centered practices as dangerous, demonic, or morally corrupt. Why does this happen? What fears lie beneath it? Where did this pattern begin historically, and what can we learn from those who survived earlier waves of suppression?

In this episode, we explore the psychological, theological, and political roots of anti-pagan hostility, tracing it from the late Roman Empire through the medieval witch hunts and into modern culture wars. Most importantly, we discuss how to stay grounded, informed, and resilient without becoming reactive or consumed by fear.

This conversation is not about fueling division. It is about understanding it, and standing steady in your path without surrendering your humanity or your wisdom.
