Witches, Gods, and Voices - Dr. Tanya Luhrmann, Stanford Anthropology

What makes the voice of god real? This is the question that has
driven Tanya Luhrmann's research for the last twenty years. She
has lived with witches, with christians, with zoroastrians, with
psychologists, and finds the same pattern woven through the lives
of believers: They have trained themselves to have a sensory
experience of god. On the podcast we talk about where this
ability comes from in the mind and how it changes the initiates.
