Heathendom came again, the circumspection and the holy fears…In a 2009 report for The Guardian, writer and broadcaster Cole Moreton speculated that paganism was “beginning to look like” the UK’s “new national faith.” At the time, there were reportedly a quarter of a million people who identified as practicing pagans—more than the number of Buddhists and almost the same as the number of Jews. That’s a massive jump from the 2001 census which recorded only 40,000 pagans in the country.

If you’re reading this, you probably like stories where you can cheer for good characters. You like morally upstanding protagonists who aim for an ideal. The Penguin, Matt Reeves’ streaming series set in the same universe as The Batman, is not such a story. Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin), played brusquely by Colin Farrell, starts out as a bad man who remains one till the very end. He is a traitor, a liar, a backstabber, and a murderer.

Making it to one of Lauren Mayberry’s solo shows had been at the top of my wish list for months. I nabbed one of two remaining tickets only a few hours before a Birmingham gig. After a drink and T-shirt purchase, the lights dimmed and the performance began. Lauren, the frontwoman of CHVRCHES, my long-time favorite band, belted out newly written songs inaugurating the start of a solo career. The crowd cheered and swayed.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s been getting a lot of play lately, and not because the new season of Rings of Power is about to drop. Instead, the Lord of the Rings author is turning heads because Republican vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance once declared Tolkien’s work to be a major influence on his “conservative worldview.”That statement deserves plenty of unpacking.

As Americans endure another election season, folks are thinking about the kind of country they want to live in for the next four years. Love of country and national ideals is a tale as old as time. But what does it mean to love one’s country in a world where every social and political debate is heightened to a mini-apocalypse, and the very ideas of nationalism and patriotism are often deemed evil? The work of one Christian fantasy author helps me begin to answer this question.
