This episode of _Creation’s Paths_ explores cycles of time and their influence on humanity, spirituality, and modern society. Charlie and Brian delve into themes of uncertainty, the repetitive nature of history, and how we can navigate life's cycles by embracing balance and relinquishing certainty. They reflect on the transition from old societal structures like the divine right of kings to modern ideological cycles, including nationalism and religious devotion. Drawing on pagan traditions, calendars, and metaphors, they emphasize the importance of oscillating perspectives and breaking free from deterministic thinking. The episode concludes with a prayer inspired by Cerridwen, honoring the cyclical nature of life.
