001: It Happened in Salem

On this episode, Bel Tala talks about Chaos Magick and why he's particularly drawn to it at this point in his pagan journey. Beginners, still young in their exploration might find this episode particularly interesting as a fellow newbie tries to get his head around a vast and complicated area of study.

On this episode, Bel Tala jumps in with an exploration of his recurring fascination: tarot. He talks about his greatest influences in tarot, asks some serious questions about the deck, and explains how you can get started with tarot. This episode incorporates lessons learned from books, magick shops, tarot readers, instructors (especially a particular one at Pagan Pride Fest NYC), and more. 

On this first episode of Learning Paganism, host Bel Tala goes into how he came to Paganism by way of a fateful trip to a modern Mecca of witchcraft: Salem, Massachusetts.
