Pagans, Heathens and Inclusivity With Paul Mercurio

  • Summary

  • Today I'm speaking with Paul Mercurio, old friend, current NYC resident, transportation planner and hearth bear of the North River Kindred. 

    We're discussing books, music, and a whole lotta heathens. 

    Some of the books Paul mentions during the podcast (Descriptions are his):

    For an overview of the Heathen religion, stretching from the Stone Age to the Nazis to 2020:

    (Note: Please reference the 3rd Edition, published in 2021. The second edition was published back in 2001 and doesn't stand up to contemporary scrutiny.)

    For a sassy and polemic take on the rise on monotheism:

    For a fascinating discussion about how Christianity gave rise to the concept of Paganism:

    For an academic book about the rise of modern Paganism, including the four uses of the word "pagan":
