In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, explore rethinking the Tree of Life as a circle instead of a ladder—a shift in perspective that mirrors the Wheel of the Year in Druidry, Wicca, and Pagan traditions. Inspired by John Michael Greer's work, they discuss how mapping the Kabbalistic Tree of Life onto the eight Sabbats creates a cyclical understanding of spiritual growth rather than a rigid, hierarchical model.
They delve into how each Sephirah aligns with the seasonal festivals, offering a dynamic flow of energy, wisdom, and transformation. They also explore practical applications in magic, ritual, and daily life, emphasizing the cyclic nature of existence, reincarnation, and the fluid movement of divine energy.
The conversation highlights how embracing circular, interconnected thinking can change one's approach to spirituality, personal growth, and magic—moving away from linear ascension models toward a holistic, evolving journey.
