Mystics, Mages, and Magical Places Episode 025 - With Rev. Art and Rev. James

The preservation of folk traditions is akin to safeguarding the soul of a community, for within these age-old practices lies the collective wisdom, values, and cultural essence of generations past. These traditions are the threads that bind us to our roots, offering a glimpse into the narratives that have shaped the identities of community members. They serve as a bridge across time, allowing us to commune with our ancestors, understanding their struggles, aspirations, and the profound insights they imparted. In cherishing these customs, we not only honor the resilience of those who came before us but also gift the same legacy, in its purest form, to those who will follow. Folk traditions are a living, breathing tapestry of human experience, a testament to the beauty of diversity, and a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity. They remind us that while we march forward into an ever-changing world, our foundation remains firmly rooted in the rich soil of tradition, and it is our sacred duty to ensure that these invaluable treasures continue to flourish for generations yet unborn. Inspired by the 2023 Tennessee Folk Magic Festival, join us Rev. Art and Rev. James recap the event and discuss the importance of keeping folk traditions alive.
