Slavic and Northern European Fall Traditions with guest Alexandra Zavyalova
Amina and Mathias sit down with Alexandra (Sasha) Zavyalova to talk about Slavic and Northern European pagan fall traditions. Sasha is from St. Petersburg, Russia, and belongs to the Modovian minority called Erzya, a Finno-Ugric people. She has been raised in the pre-Christian Erzyan traditions, and is herself a student of northern paganism. Along with Sasha, the two hosts go far and wide in conversations about connections between Germanic, Slavic, Celtic, and Finno-Ugric autumn and early winter traditions across the northern European expanse.
