This co-host episode we sit down Around the Fire to talk about spirits and magic in media. With the passing of David Lynch, Snow digs into his filmography to jump into how we relate to what we see, and how it shapes our understanding of the worlds around us, our inner selves, and the magic we work with.

This episode we invite Lannan, also known as Rotwork and Tlapalatequiti to Around Grandfather Fire. We talk about their first encounters with polytheism, art and religion, navigating their life as a polytheist and Buddhist, mysticism, monasticism, art, and more.
About Lannan:
Between his work on helping people learn about and practise a living 21st century religion based on the beliefs of the pre-Conquest Mexica, and his artwork, both devotional and secular, Lannan is a very creative and devoted Pagan with, now, over two decades of experience. Lannan (Chikwe-Kwauhtli) is a practising Teotecatl, and Zen Buddhist; a spirit-worker, a mystic, and an artist. His focus on monasticism and contemplation has led to a pivot in recent years towards exploring what Pagan monasticism, particularly in the 21st Century looks like.
