Ep 70: Solstice Traditions with Morgan Daimler

Welcome to the 71st episode of the Science Witch Podcast!

Morgan Daimler from the Irish Pagan School

For this year’s Solstice episode, we interviewed the indomitable Morgan Daimler about the holidays and misconceptions, and debunked some misinformation about where some of our holiday traditions come from. This was an enjoyable and thought provoking conversation that was very informative and revealing to the point where we want to schedule for Morgan to come back to continue some of the threads we picked up in this episode.
