Samhain Trivia on Pagan-Musings

As promised, here are the rules and the questions for the Trivia contest from Pagan-Musings.

Rules - Live Listeners (almost seems a moot point after the show):
  • Send a private message to either KaliSara in the PAN chat or Pagan Musings in the BTR chat with your answers.
  • For each person who answers one or more questions correctly they receive a free mp3 download from Marc Gunn's Happy Song of Death.
  • Each person with a correct answer will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a full physical copy of the CD.
  • Live listeners had until the end of the show to answer. Answers received from live listeners after the show concluded will be treated as archival answers and they will qualify for that drawing.
Rules - Archive Listeners:
  • Listen to the trivia questions in the show and send your answers to paganmusings@gmail.com.
  • For each person who answers one or more questions correctly they receive a free mp3 download from Marc Gunn's Happy Song of Death.
