Wow, you are both so relatable. I wish I knew more Pagans like you. The love n light crowd is exhausting.

I'm 30% English, 30% Irish. 30% Scottish, and 10% Norwegian. These are my people. I feel at home here. All my best on your joint podcast. ❤

Very charming together with great banter. Very informative.

What an uplifting show! Thank you both--you brightened my Monday considerably. and I can't express how much I appreciate the down-to-earth and experience-based approach you took to the conversation and to spirituality in general. When Jacob mentioned choosing local flowers and natural materials to construct/decorate one's altar I nearly danced a jig. That is a drum I've been beating for awhile now--localized spirituality!

It was such a joy to listen to this! Loved both your energies✨ Also, wanted to share Czech spring tradition - we have a peculiar Easter (pagan) custom of men braiding willow twigs into a whip, and visiting all the women in the community to actually whip their bums😅 to rejuvenate them - in exchange for an coloured egg. 🥚 happy spring, everyone🥚😁

That was Fantastic Guy's! Very Informative and great energy output! Can't wait for more!

Unvailing of truth! That gave me shivers.

We have hot cross buns! They were my brother's favorite when we were home and mom made her own. But they're available in grocery stores and bakeries, too. I'm not a big fan, but maybe I should revisit them now knowing it's a sun cross! 😊 I should've mentioned that I am here in the States. I am excited for this new podcast and hope you do video for each episode. I am a mix of Celtic ancestors and Italian; my Dad was from Cumbria, my Mom's people were from Southern Italy. Both grandmothers were definitely connected with the Old Ways. Thank you both for sharing your experiences and what you're learning. I hope it enriches my connections with my spirituality as I have been feeling more than a bit distanced from it because...well, life stuff in 2024.

The 8th century English monk, Venerable Bede, mentions Ostara in his writings about the names of local Anglo-Saxon months. I believe it's the only contemporary source. He's definitely worth a deep dive.

I made hot cross buns last week! Haha... a coworker asked what the origins were and we had a fun little chat!

I agree about the localizing land interactions. I don't claim any sort of affiliation to my neighbors who were on this land before me I incorporate their practices in relation to plants & animals as I can in my day-to-day life

Yay! I’m so looking forward to this new podcast! Thank you both 😊

Thank you so much for this first episode. I deeply resonate with many things you said. Your conversation feels so… familiar, like a combination of some of the best conversations I’ve had with my closest friends combined with many things I have thought to myself. So looking forward to April! A blessed Ostara to you.

really enjoy this podcast

Of course we have hot cross buns at Easter. Every bakery and grocery store sells them and most people have family memories. Where did you grow up, Jacob?😂 Other than that, love the podcast and really enjoy all the videos on your channel. Great job 👏

I'm so delighted 😊 so happy 😊 I'm following you both 😊 Big hug from a Portuguese living in Belgium ❤

This was good stuff. Thank you!!

I'm glad you're doing an awesome podcast again! Can't wait till the next one😊 you guys are amazing together with the way you vibe and able to bounce off each other with some great source material. Keep up the great work and videos!

Loved the first episode of the podcast! Really looking forward to the future of it, nice to hear perspectives from practitioners.

I’m so excited for this podcast!!

Great conversation!

I am excited to listen!

Glastonbury my fav place❤

Really great podcast. So positive! Great spring vibes.

Awesome podcast

yes my mother and grandmother would make them. I am from Canada. We would get to eat them on Good Friday.

I Love this!!!

Very nice to see you doing well brother!

I really want to move to scotland, need to get my husband an Engineering gig to make it happen haha

Great stuff

I enjoyed this!

Bird calls over time actually change to over come background noise, so even if you knew the species you wouldn’t know the calls from them only now in place they are

Typed with mirth "I liked the stones and tasted your ancestors! They taste like rotting haggis!"

I'm surprised that when they were talking about the seasons they didn't talk about the Celtic calendar. The bronze tablet found in Coligny of the Celtic calendar shows they followed the lunar cycles over the solar cycles. Which is interesting as neolithic peoples seemed to look at solar cycles. So I'd be interested in how those two perspectives mixed with the celt's. The druids and Celtic peoples came from along the Danube in modern day Austria but would have merged with neolithic peoples already in lands they migrated to and settled to. How would the two perspectives influence their approach to the changing sessions?

I'm just starting into my ancestral pagan roots and being a welder I feel more called to Goithnu or Gobannos as the gauls call him so if you could delv into him a bit i would appreciate it thank you!

Im American and have had Hot Cross Buns here lol

So, I’ve asked this in a few places and never got a satisfactory response. At some point in the distant past our ancestors came to know the gods for the first time. It seems we go to a lot of effort to try to figure out what our ancestors were doing in terms of ritual etc when maybe we should just be focusing on coming to know the gods again? If they showed themselves to us once, why would they not again?

Don't leave us hanging! What is the real reason for Easter? I have a PlayStation on the line. 😉

Will this be on the podcast streaming programs for apple and android?

Hmmm, I couldnt find the podcast in my podcast apps :(

Painted eggs were a Slavic pagan tradition

Anyone, any events in Kentucky?

Yes Americans do have hot cross buns. Thus the joke what do you get when you pour water down a rabbit hole? Hot cross bunnies.

Is Ostara not from the Irish tribe of the Osraige?
