This podcast episode explores the deeper, mythic significance of the Christmas narrative, focusing on the birth of Jesus Christ and its context of colonial oppression under Roman rule. Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, examine how stories like the Nativity are less about historical accuracy and more about conveying profound spiritual and symbolic truths. They highlight the parallels between Jesus’ birth and the struggles of oppressed peoples, emphasizing the role of Brigid as a goddess of justice, childbirth, and poetry, woven into the narrative as a midwife. The discussion challenges modern Christianity's focus on historicity, advocating for a return to the spiritual and symbolic power of the story. The episode concludes with a reflection on how individuals can bring the "Child of Light" into their lives, combating personal darkness and oppression.
