Liberty isn't just a word—it's a choice. Are you living free, or just following the script? --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ --- A Christopagan Manifesto --- Answer to the Call: A Dream of an Oak Church Liberty and liberation are often reduced to slogans, losing their deeper meaning as active, ongoing choices we must make in our daily lives. In this episode of _Creation’s Paths_, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids and spiritual teachers, explore the true nature of liberty—not just as freedom but as the power to live authentically and make choices that align with our conscience. They discuss how society erodes liberty through wage labor, corporate control, and political passivity, highlighting the importance of reclaiming agency in both personal and collective life. Drawing from spiritual traditions such as Christianity, Buddhism, and ancient Celtic beliefs, they argue that the struggle for liberation is a continuous journey. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the choices that have improved their lives and to take small but meaningful actions toward reclaiming their freedom.

Unlock the hidden energy of life—discover Nwyfre and how it connects you to the world around you! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of Creation's Paths, Charlie and Brian explore Nwyfre, a fundamental concept in Druidry that represents the flowing spiritual energy of life. They draw comparisons between Nwyfre and The Force from Star Wars, noting that George Lucas originally referred to the Jedi as "Jedi Druids." The discussion also examines the historical origins of the term Nwyfre, its relationship to Chi, Ki, Prana, and Mana, and how it differs from these Eastern concepts. Charlie and Brian delve into how Nwyfre permeates nature, food, and daily life, emphasizing the importance of staying connected to the living world. They also share practical ways to tap into Nwyfre, such as breathwork, meditation, sound, and grounding exercises. The episode references Druidcraft, Kirlian photography, and energy fields, showcasing the scientific and spiritual intersections of these ideas. Additionally, they highlight how modern disconnection from nature weakens our access to Nwyfre, and offer ways to restore balance, such as incorporating plants into living spaces, engaging in mindful practices, and consuming fermented and fresh foods.

Magic was real in the past, but is it the same today? Let's talk about modern paganism and ancient magic! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of Creation’s Paths, Charlie and Brian explore whether magic was real in the ancient world and how to live as a modern pagan. They discuss how much of contemporary paganism is a reconstruction rather than a direct continuation of the past and how every faith grapples with balancing old traditions and new practices. Examining biblical stories, historical magical duels like those between Aleister Crowley and W.B. Yeats, and the evolution of science from occult roots, they highlight how magic persists today—just in different forms. They emphasize re-enchanting the world by seeing magic and divine presence in everyday life rather than romanticizing or fossilizing the past. Whether through Brigid’s forge (now metaphorically a computer or cell phone) or the enduring power of myths, they encourage listeners to embrace a living, evolving spirituality. Ultimately, they stress the importance of living in right relationship—with oneself, the environment, and the wisdom passed down—reminding us that paganism should be a thriving, relevant practice rather than a museum piece.

What if the Tree of Life wasn't a ladder but a circle? Rethink magic, cycles, and divine flow! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ 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.

Why is Black joy so radical? Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance reminded us all why it matters. --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of Creation’s Paths, Charlie and Brian discuss the importance of celebrating Black joy, particularly in the wake of Kendrick Lamar’s powerful Super Bowl halftime performance. They highlight how mainstream media often focuses on Black pain and struggle while overlooking moments of joy, resilience, and celebration. They reflect on the larger societal tendency to reduce minority communities to their suffering, drawing parallels to the representation of LGBTQ+ stories and Indigenous narratives in American media. The conversation also delves into the symbolism of Lamar’s performance, emphasizing its prophetic nature, the resistance it faced, and the joy that shone through despite the serious message. They discuss Serena Williams' joyful dancing, the backlash against it, and the broader cultural resistance to seeing marginalized communities experience and express joy.

The real culture war isn’t new—it began in the 1880s. Are you choosing liberation or obedience? --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, Charlie and Brian explore a deep-rooted cultural and spiritual transformation that began in the late 19th century, focusing on figures like Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, and Ross Nichols. These esoteric thinkers and spiritual leaders challenged traditional, hierarchical, and ascetic religious models by promoting personal liberation, initiatory experiences, and direct participation in spiritual mysteries. Their work helped shape the modern Pagan, Druid, and magical movements, breaking away from rigid structures of control. Charlie argues that we are in the midst of the real culture war, which isn’t about religion versus secularism but rather freedom and self-discovery versus obedience and authoritarianism. They discuss how these shifts in philosophy, psychology, and spirituality were foundational in the rise of New Age movements, the counterculture of the 1960s, and ongoing struggles for social justice today. The conversation also covers the historical impact of the Second Axial Age (1880s–1960s), the influence of Thelema and Wicca, the rise of feminism in esoteric traditions, and the fundamentalist backlash against spiritual freedom. They encourage listeners to reflect on their own spiritual paths and advocate for liberation over dogmatic control. Charlie and Brian conclude by emphasizing the importance of resisting high-control religious and societal structures while fostering personal and collective empowerment through spiritual exploration, self-realization, and community-driven movements.

Even a river can die. What if we saw it as a person, not just a resource? --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of _Creation’s Paths_, Charlie and Brian explore **animism**, the belief that the world is filled with persons—only some of whom are human. They discuss how recognizing **the personhood of nature**, objects, and even everyday items like cups or computers fosters **a deeper, more respectful relationship with the world**. Charlie argues that **animism is a philosophical choice with profound spiritual and legal implications**, rather than a primitive belief system. They highlight **real-world applications** of animism, including **New Zealand's legal recognition of rivers as persons** and how this perspective shifts environmentalism from resource exploitation to **stewardship**. Brian shares personal insights on how **animism helps cultivate patience, gratitude, and ethical living**. They discuss the **role of animism in magic, spirituality, and law**, demonstrating how seeing the world as full of persons—not objects—can transform daily interactions, from how we treat the land to how we care for our possessions. The episode also touches on **spiritual practices** tied to animism, the difference between **idolatry and right relationship**, and how recognizing the **life cycle of objects** can aid in **recycling, sustainability, and emotional well-being**.

Magic isn't just spells—it’s love, yearning, and transformation. Let’s explore the heart of creation! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, Charlie and Brian continue their study of _Druidcraft_ by Philip Carr-Gomm, diving into Chapter 3: "The Ways of Love." This discussion explores the foundational role of love in magic and spirituality, emphasizing that magic is not just about rituals and incantations but about cultivating deep connections to the energies of the cosmos. They challenge the traditional binary gender frameworks often used in magic, drawing from Kabbalah and Irish mythology to illustrate broader, more inclusive perspectives on divine union. The episode highlights the myth of Angus and Caer Ibormeith, an Irish love story that illustrates the power of yearning and transformation. Charlie and Brian also discuss the importance of recognizing subtle energies—like love, devotion, and passion—as integral forces in magical practice. They caution against the dangers of jumping too quickly into magical work without the proper foundational understanding, drawing parallels between learning magic and learning to swim. Additionally, they offer insights on gendered language in spiritual traditions, referencing the book _Queer Qabala_ for those looking to deconstruct traditional gendered metaphors in esoteric practices.
