  • not pagan?

    came in expecting discussions of idolatry, enchantment, divination, etc. barely if any mention of these topics. thought the episode about amulets would be a course correction, turns out it was just some dude’s name. they seem like nice guys and the music is okay, just probably not into Baal or anything :/
