S2E12 - Death & Dying: A Pagan Perspective
Episode description
As pagans, we can find comfort in our beliefs about energy and our connections to the Earth. Reflecting on and processing death is paramount in this time of loss, and Leandra and Elyse discuss the various perspectives of paganism on grief, and share some ideas for how to connect with those who pass and have passed, as well as your options for funerary rights.
