Presented by Montana Jordan, Occult Specialist

In this lecture, we will explore the meanings of spirituality and paganism with an emphasis on womanhood and femininity. We will theorize the main accepted areas of paganism, survey its differing branches ranging from Shamanism to witchcraft to the Goddess Movement, compare archaic to contemporary paganism, examine the main pagan sabbats, and finally, discuss how paganism infiltrates institutionalized religion.

Montana is a proud two-time direct descendant of two distinct bloodlines from the Salem Witch Trials. She is the tenth great-granddaughter of the historical Susannah North Martin, hanged in 1692. She is also the tenth great-granddaughter of the historical Rebecca Shelley Addington Chamberlain, who died in prison in 1692 whilst awaiting execution.

Both an ordained minister and pagan priestess, Montana is obtaining her PhD in holistic theology.

Join us once a month to hear from experts in unexplainable phenomena - think UFOs, extraterrestrials, Bigfoot, ESP, ghosts and beyond. Come have a beer and a burger handcrafted beverage, concessions, and/or a slice of pizza, settle in and learn something new from a curated line-up of scholars, experiencers and others.

According to Wikipedia: "Paranormal events are phenomena described in popular culture, folklore and other non-scientific bodies of knowledge, whose existence within these contexts is described to lie beyond normal experience or scientific explanation.

A paranormal phenomenon is different from hypothetical concepts such as dark matter and dark energy. Unlike paranormal phenomena, these hypothetical concepts are based on empirical observations and experimental data gained through the scientific method.

The most notable paranormal beliefs include those that pertain to ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects, psychic abilities or extrasensory perception and cryptids."

We thank the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for coordinating and hosting this programming at the historic Mission Theater.
