Send us a textIn this episode of Pearl Snap Tactical, we step beyond history and dive into the heart of personal development through the lens of the Grail legends. Joined by Jake from the Koryos Academy, we explore how these ancient myths can provide profound insights for today's warriors, especially those dedicated to self-reliance, resilience, and personal mastery.While the Grail stories are often linked to medieval spirituality, their roots reach back into ancient pagan traditions, offering lessons that resonate with modern warriors on their own personal quests. These timeless myths aren't just tales of knights and distant adventures; they are powerful metaphors for the trials, challenges, and growth that shape a warrior's inner journey today.Jake helps us connect the dots between these ancient legends and the modern pursuit of strength and self-reliance, showing how the trials of old can serve as a guide for overcoming obstacles in our own lives.Key Takeaways:The Grail as a Symbol of Inner Mastery: Discover how the quest for the Grail can be seen as a journey of self-development, pushing the modern warrior toward strength and resilience.Lessons from Pagan Roots: Learn how pre-Christian traditions inform the myths, offering deeper, timeless lessons for personal quests and overcoming life's trials.The Warrior's Path: See how the obstacles faced by legendary christian knights of old provide metaphors for the real-world challenges that build self-reliance, courage, and inner fortitude.Connect with Jake:Website:  Koryos AcademyJakes Instagram:  Support the showSupport the Show: please consider a donation at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pearlsnapLink up with us:Website: https://www.BarritusDefense.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebarritusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBarritusThe views and opinions expressed by the guests do not necessarily reflect those of the host, this podcast or Barritus Defense.

Gwyn and Ode talk about where they are in their own paths, what the makes an intermediate practitioner vs. a beginner, how to expand one's practice, and what resources are useful along the way.

It's time to kick around an idea that gets brought up and used quite a bit these days. Unverified personal Gnosis are the terms used to describe a belief gained through personal subjective experience, not things which are confirmed by traditions or in groups. They usually inform the belief system of those that experience them. On this episode, we will be talking with someone whose entire practice is based around Unverified Personal Gnosis. That's right! It's the long-awaited return of author and animist sorcerer Aidan Wachter!

Gwyn and Ode talk about finding wonder in science, and how much overlap science and faith can or should have.

The words Pagan and Heathen mean a lot of different things.  In the mouths of modern Pagans & Heathens, they are badges of honor.  For Christians and religious conservatives, they are a shorthand for everything they see as sinful, degenerate, and unholy.  Join your host for a journey into their history, why they matter, and what they say in these times of increasingly aggressive Christian nationalism, Project 2025, and more!Sources:https://wildhunt.org/2024/04/editorial-new-book-is-ripe-with-dangerous-anti-pagan-rhetoric.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/29/opinion/christianity-paganism-woke.htmlhttps://www.ncregister.com/in2:21 PM 7/30/2024terview/post-christendom-and-the-return-of-paganism-in-the-westhttps://www.npr.org/2024/02/29/1234843874/tracing-the-rise-of-christian-nationalism-from-trump-to-the-ala-supreme-courthttps://globalextremism.org/post/project-2025-a-heightened-threat-of-christian-nationalism-and-authoritarianism/https://www.au.org/the-latest/church-and-state/articles/destroying-life-and-liberty-a-christian-nationalist-playbook-outlines-a-broad-scheme-to-overthrow-american-democracy-and-install-a-theocracy/

John Pinna speaks with Josh Heath about Heathenry, a modern revival of Norse pagan religion. Heath discusses his personal journey to Heathenry, the beliefs and practices of the faith, including ancestor worship and the concept of fate, and how it differs from pop culture depictions of Norse mythology. He explains the community structure of Heathenry, from individual practice to larger organizations, and addresses the issue of white supremacist groups misappropriating Norse symbols. Heath also talks about his efforts to gain recognition for Heathenry in the U.S. military, his experiences as a Heathen soldier, and the faith's approach to death and burial. Throughout the conversation, Heath emphasizes the importance of community in Heathen practice and the faith's focus on supporting and protecting one's local community, regardless of racial or cultural background.

Richard Allen's defense team has crafted an alternate theory centered around an alleged cult of "Odinists" who killed Liberty German and Abigail Williams as part of some kind of pagan sacrifice. The theory has garnered much press attention and general criticism. But heathens — those who practice pre-Christian Germanic faiths, many of whom are inclusive and anti-racist — are upset by the theory, which they feels maligns their faith. As president of the Troth — an inclusive, anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ heathen organization — Lauren Crow has seen firsthand the impact that the defense's strategy has had on the heathen community. So she was pretty surprised when she got a call from defense attorney Andrew Baldwin in mid-April.Here's a link to The Troth: https://thetroth.org/Here's The Troth's statement on the Delphi case: https://thetroth.org/position-statement/odinist-ritual-defense-indiana-murder-case/Check out Lauren's Heathen History podcast here: https://www.heathenhistory.com/Support The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gwyn and Ode talk about what stars are, what constellations are, how we conceptualize stars as symbols, and how we might connect them in witchcraft and religion.

Life is pretty busy lately and it's made a bit of a challenge to book guests. So I took a couple books off the shelf that I've had for a while adn thought I'd have a little review/chat about them.  Loki and Sigyn: Lessons on Chaos, Laughter & Loyalty from the Norse Gods  by Lea Svendsen. Llewellyn, February 2022. This captivating book takes you deep into the infamous legacy of Loki and the quiet power of Sigyn, the goddess of loyalty and compassion. As a controversial figure in Heathenry, Loki is often approached with trepidation. But this book introduces you to his true self: a trickster, but also a loving husband and creative problem-solver.   Elves, Witches, & Gods : Spinning Old heathen Magic in the Modern Day by Cat Heath, Llewellyn, 2021. Cat Heath has carefully pieced together and recreated Heathen magic techniques, and she shares the theories, skills, and tools you need to begin or deepen your own practice. This book provides explanations and hands-on techniques for galdr, seidr, fiber magic, herb craft, journeying, and going under the cloak.   Both books were received from the publisher for review.
