Garden Of Doom Episode 136: A Professor and Paganism

Professor Michael York has studied comparative mythology and is a pagan. We discuss what Paganism actually is and go to the Steppe and beyond to explore the Proto Indo European speakers and myths. He expounds on the dualities, the twins, the tracking of language and cognates. From Deus to Zeus.
