Tonight, the PCP crew is startled by one of their listeners wanting to dedicate themselves to every god. This discussion includes a lengthy talk about initiation, dedication and when you should do it. We clear up some things we need to understand about Catholics in mixed-faith marriages. After a few announcements, we resume answering listener questions such as what are PCP crew’s recommendations for Pagan podcasts to listen to. We discuss how Circle Sanctury is like Dungeons and Dragons, what to do if you feel no path is calling to you and Anonymous mentally scars Joe, all on this pot-luck episode of the Pagan Centered Podcast!
