Ep11 - Turning Water Into Wine

It’s Part 2 of It’s The Spirit Talking, where I deep-dive with Reverend Rebecca Pridmore on religion, spirituality, and booze. In this episode, we discuss how and why spirits are used in spiritual and religious rituals. It’s said that Jesus turned water into wine. What other cultures used alcoholic spirits in their spiritual rituals?

Once again, we find ourselves talking about Hildegard of Bingen, a German Benedictine abbess and polymath who was active as a writer, composer, philosopher, mystic, visionary, and medical writer and practitioner during the High Middle Ages. She was the first to document the preservative qualities of hops when added to a beverage like beer.

Sailor also totally screws up the song Spill The Wine by War. If you find yourself screaming at the podcast, we apologize in advance.

Do you know the story of Lilith? Tune in and join us for this interesting journey!
