Thanks for bringing your fun personality to this important discussion! I’m interested in the “how” we got here, definitely interesting. I think of Matthieu Pageau’s book The Language of Creation ….. the fall essentially is about gaining material knowledge at the expense of spiritual insight. If the bible is in indeed true and this theory of the fall explains what we are experiencing I’m more curious in the “how” does it end! Perhaps “how” we got here will inform “how” it ends?

Generations back rural southern/Appalachian people would see if the moon phase and stars/signs were right for putting up fence posts, slaughtering animals, planting etc. this is how the world was believed to work. they were also people of prayer too and relied on God as best they knew how to do it

Looking forward to the next episode!
This is unbelievably important. More so than most would imagine
I'm watching these out of order, but this is a great series John
I've been into Appalachian culture lately and I am incredibly intrigued by granny witches and the primitive Baptist churches. American juju is wild.

LOL! You crack me up.
I wonder if another witch cursed her, turning her milk into blood, so she retaliated by burning her?
Well, we have demons on the street now so why not black magic?
