In this episode, Vanessa and Doug begin their discussion on Astrology, Paganism, and other "witchy" forms of spirituality/mysticism.
Due to the length of the conversation, we divided the episode into two parts. In this first part, we focus on our experience with such "deviant" forms of spirituality and how they intersect with our background in Evangelical Christianity.
Be sure to check out Episode 11 for a more in-depth discussion on Astrology, identity, and community--along with some interesting tangents that you probably should have come to expect by now.
