Midnight Mass: Listener Q&A and December Episode Reveal

Note: This episode and others from this time frame reflect an early stage in my spiritual journey.  While I may or may not not hold these views any longer, I am still keeping these episodes up.    

Why?  Because this is also a historical and folklore podcast, and the folk practices or beliefs discussed are still accurate from an educational and cultural standpoint.

However, if you are interested in my more current views and spiritual outlook, check out the “Reflection” series I recorded in January of 2023.
