About this listen

The Truth About Paganism: How a Word Was Turned Into a Weapon What if pagan was never a spiritual accusation—only a label reshaped by history? In this episode of Between Light and Shadow, we explore the true origin of the word pagan, how it originally described everyday people rooted in land and seasonal life, and how its meaning was later transformed by institutional power. This conversation is not an attack on Christianity. It is an examination of language, history, and how spiritual narratives are shaped over time. Together, we look at: The original meaning of pagan and its cultural context How the Church reframed the term as belief systems shifted The lasting impact this redefinition had on indigenous and ancestral traditions Why reclaiming historical truth matters for spiritual freedom today This episode invites reflection rather than debate—offering space for curiosity, nuance, and understanding for those navigating faith, deconstruction, or spiritual self-discovery. Listen with an open mind. Question gently. Stand in truth. Before you go, take a final breath. May your magick be guided by wisdom rather than impulse. May your power be rooted in compassion. And may your path be one of integrity, balance, and becoming. Thank you for walking Between Light and Shadow. This is Richard Ravenbrook, of The House of Ravenbrook. Until next time—walk gently, and practice with intention.
