  • Can You Resist Evil Without Becoming It? Jedi & Druids Part 6
    May 16 2025

    What if your resistance is feeding the very thing you oppose?

    How do we resist evil without becoming the darkness ourselves? In this episode, we explore the line between selflessness and selfishness through Star Wars, Druid wisdom, and the spiritual heart of rebellion. Drawing from the Dharma Seals, Christopagan ethics, and the failures of past revolutions, Charlie and Brian walk us through how to stay grounded in compassion, community, and truth—even when the empire looms. This is more than fandom. It’s a soul call to resist differently.

  • Scripture, Power, and the Crisis of Belonging
    May 15 2025

    What if believing the Bible is inerrant isn’t about truth at all—but about belonging?

    In this compelling episode, Charlie and Brian dive into Dan McClellan’s viral video on biblical inerrancy and its hidden function within fundamentalist and evangelical communities. This isn’t just a theological argument—it’s about identity, social rewards, and control. With personal stories, insights into dogma vs doctrine, and strategies for real-world engagement, they explore how high-control religious groups maintain their grip—and how relationships, not arguments, may be the only way out. This is essential listening for anyone navigating faith deconstruction, family tension, or religious trauma.

    We’re not building dogma—we’re tending a living garden of faith

    Living the Dream of an Oak Church” invites you into the heart of a movement decades in the making. In this deeply personal and reflective conversation, Charlie and Brian share the roots of their spiritual journey—how trauma, curiosity, mysticism, and resilience shaped the Christopagan Druid path they now walk. They explain the philosophy behind their Oak Church project, why faith must be practical, poetic, and alive, and how reclaiming old stories and building new ones is key to forging a sacred path in today’s world.

  • To Act, Not React: Walking the Line Between Light and Dark in Jedi & Druids
    May 13 2025

    The real battle isn’t between good and evil—it’s between action and reaction.

    In this illuminating episode of _Creation’s Paths_, Charlie and Brian explore the fine line between the light and dark sides of power—through the lens of Star Wars and Druidic wisdom. What makes an action truly good or truly evil? Is it intention, outcome, or something more subtle? Drawing on tales from Jedi lore, the story of the Dagda’s harp, and their own Christopagan Druid path, they reveal a path of discernment rooted in sovereignty, mutuality, and restraint. Perfect for seekers, sci-fi geeks, and mystics alike.

  • The World Between Worlds: Journeying Beyond Time and Space In Jedi & Druids
    May 7 2025

    "Not all of her came back... and we still don’t know where she went."

    This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    What lies between the worlds? In this powerful episode, Charlie and Brian delve into the Star Wars concept of the World Between Worlds and draw striking parallels with Druidic journeying, the sacred sea of Manannán Mac Lir, and the mystical islands of Irish lore. More than a lore comparison, this is a conversation about spiritual safety, sacred practice, and the deep truths that unfold in altered states. With reverence, warnings, and wonder, they illuminate why journeying isn’t just a practice—but a calling that demands preparation, care, and humility. Enter only if you're ready. And never go alone.
