In this episode Ariel talks about a video on TikTok posted by NoNonsenseSpirituality, in which they talked about why they are an atheist after realizing that particular societies resulted in particular beliefs and gods. In turn, Ariel talks about how that can also be translated into how we approach our own beliefs in terms of witchcraft and spiritual practice.
