Last Week in the Grove: Reclaiming Faith as Christopagan Druidry Guides Us Toward Justice

September 16th through September 22nd

In today's world, many find themselves grappling with fear, disconnection, and the overwhelming pursuit of profit, which often leaves compassion and justice behind. This episode of Creation's Paths, hosted by Christopagan Druids Charlie and Brian, offers a solution rooted in the teachings of love and justice. They explore how Jesus’ greatest commandments—loving God and loving one's neighbor—can guide us toward building a more compassionate, equitable world. They contrast these ideals with the rise of Christo-nationalism and modern systems that prioritize profit over people. Through discussions on the Noahide Laws, the transformative power of the Awen, and the practice of personal sovereignty, Charlie and Brian emphasize the importance of justice, wisdom, and love in everyday life. As they delve into concepts like the Tree of Life and the balance of Alban Elfed, they invite listeners to reflect on the healing, joy, and mindfulness needed to live in harmony with the earth, each other, and ourselves. How might embracing these teachings transform the way we approach justice, community, and our own spiritual paths?

Finding Life’s Purpose The Quest for the Tree of Life

In this episode of _The Church of the Oak_, Charlie invites listeners on a symbolic spiritual quest to find the "Tree of Life," a concept deeply connected to interconnectedness and purpose.

They explore the idea that true meaning comes not from power or wealth but from relationships, community, and the shared journey toward enlightenment and purpose. By reconnecting with symbols like the Tree of Life, Charlie encourages the audience to find their path and help others in a cooperative, compassionate way.
