Paganism

In the 'Paganism' series of the Rest is History podcast, hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook explore the historical origins and evolution of paganism, featuring insights from Professor Ronald Hutton. They examine the term 'pagan' as a Christian construct and discuss the rich tapestry of pre-Christian beliefs, including the roots of Halloween and its connections to ancient rituals and seasonal customs. Hutton's recurring presence provides depth to understanding both ancient practices and their modern revivals.
