Attendees of Pagan Pride Day on Oct. 1 planted and blessed a new oak sapling at Two Rivers Park.
Nashville is known as the Buckle on the Bible Belt. However, the city is home to a diversity of religions and traditions, including paganism.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by a pair of community leaders to learn more about Pagan Pride Day and what it means to be pagan in a traditionally Christian area. Then, we’ll hear from solo practitioners about how they found paganism, and how they discuss their spirituality with their family and friends.
But first, WPLN’s political and criminal justice reporters fill us in on their interview with Tennessee’s new Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti.
