Wow, Mark, that’s just an incredibly eloquent interview.
Even though the interviewer is clearly not Teri Gross, or even very well focused. You were not just articulate, but interesting, well-paced, engaging, and clear.
I really appreciate the nuance with which you distinguish between core principles and your personal practice.
I learned some new stuff—your description of the demographic shift in the Pagan community in the late ‘90s was new to me, and helped a lot of your criticisms make more sense.
And just for the record, I have no memory of what might have motivated me to invite you to that festival. Divine inspiration, maybe? 😀
Wonderful interview (you are a very strong, clear speaker)! Agreed: we’re all born atheist, pagans aren’t good at tempering freedom with responsibility…& there is no “get out of Death free card”…
Just ordered your book – really looking forward to reading it!
(I see your cemetery picnics and absinthe brewing got mentions, too!)
Hey, as a Patron I owe you a signed copy anyway! I’m planning on sending those out by the end of the month. Thanks for the kudos on the interview–I was SO happy with how it turned out.
