A different kind of interview

It was quite enjoyable, really

I regularly give interviews about All Things Minoan. It’s a subject that’s still fairly obscure to the general public and even to large portions of the Pagan community, and I feel a responsibility to help educate people.

I’ve collected up a playlist of the ones that are available on YouTube. I’ve also been on podcasts and radio shows and done written interviews for various publications.

There’s a range of questions that I’m usually asked, and interviews rarely expand outside that set. Usually, the focus is on the religion and culture of the ancient Minoans, their deities, and how we practice a modern variant of that spirituality in Ariadne’s Tribe.

A few days ago, I was interviewed by a host who asked me a bunch of questions that I’ve never gotten before.

What a trip!

I really enjoyed getting to make connections between the Minoans’ cultural and spiritual values and the ways we might use them as inspiration to improve the modern world. We also got a little into the ways in which the world of today looks startlingly like the world of 1300 BCE, the beginning of the Late Bronze Age collapse.

Don’t panic. The world isn’t going to end. Human civilization goes through these “collapses” every few centuries, and we always manage to live through them. It just gets messy in the meantime.

Anyway, here’s the video:

We had so much fun, we’re talking about having some more conversations and maybe collaborating on some other projects as well.

May your days be filled with wonder.
May your work be filled with meaning.
May your life be filled with joy.
