In this episode we talk about death and dying with Rebecca Lynn Scott, founder of the Polytheist Death Guild. She talks about her own experiences that lead her to creating the Guild and the importance and necessity of death rituals in our society. How do we talk about death in our society? How are we able to express grief? Do pagans (of any traditions) have a healthier view of death than other traditions?   Rebecca Lynn Scott is the founder of the Polytheist Death Guild and author of A Litany to the Many Dead, a set of prayers to those who have died. She is an Hellenic polytheist, a Hekatean, and a Dionysian. She is currently engaged in writing the funerary and mourning rituals for the Starry Bull tradition of Bacchic Orphism. She lives with her wife and assorted critters in Seattle.   Links Email: polytheistdeathguild@gmail.com Polytheist Death Guild: http://www.polytheistdeathguild.org/ GYST - Get Your Shit Together The Green Burial Council The National Home Funeral Alliance My Gift of Grace card game Where to join Bacchic Chat for PDG chats Spring Mysteries Festival   Books  A Litany for the Many Dead
