Episode: Children of the Sun: Paganism and Folksong in Lithuania - Part Two
Description: In Part Two of Children of the Sun episode, I travel to the forests of DzÅ«kija region with ethnomusicologist EglÄ ÄesnakaviÄiÅ«tÄ to meet the elder and traditional singer Elena ÄesnulytÄ, and talk folksong politics. I finally wind up at Å atrijos Ugnis, a perpetual flame tended at a hill in a national park in Samogitia, where I decide maybe paganism is not about belonging after all, but rather, more powerfully, about connection.
