In this episode, Christopher McIntosh returns to Rebel Spirit Radio to discuss his latest book, the spiritual memoir, The Call of The Old Gods. The conversation touches upon McIntosh's journey into paganism, the definition and significance of paganism, and how it nourishes the different levels of the human being. We explore the role of cultural memory and the cyclical notion of history inherent in pagan beliefs. McIntosh shares personal anecdotes about his influences, notable figures in the esoteric world he has encountered, and the importance of reviving pagan traditions. The discussion also delves into the need for sacred spaces, the influence of Pan and other gods, and the growing interest in paganism and esoteric studies in modern times.

In this episode, I welcome back Brandon Grafius, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Academic Dean at Ecumenical Theological Seminary. Known for his unique expertise in both Biblical studies and horror, Brandon discusses his latest book, Scared by the Bible: The Roots of Horror in Scripture. We delve into the intersection of horror and biblical texts, unpacking how various genres within the Bible, from apocalyptic literature to body horror, can enrich our understanding of both sacred texts and horror narratives. Brandon also touches on modern horror films, generational anxieties, and the importance of understanding horror both in scripture and contemporary media. Tune in for a fascinating conversation that bridges the worlds of theology and horror fiction.
