Pagan Politics - What you Need to Know
by Lloyd Clark [1,328 reads]
  Pagan Politics: A Primer for Successfully Contacting and Engaging Your Elected Officials People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing. ~Walter H. Judd, MD and Congressman It is every American’s right to make their opinion known to their elected officials. Unfortunately, it is the manner in which this contact is made that most often determines whether or not your opinion or issue position will actually ma... [more]
Pagans: Time To Step Up
by Ravenlongsword [1,599 reads]
 I decided to write to the Pagan populous because we are living on the edge of dark times. All Pagans have felt the effect of this growing decline in our standard of living, a result of the higher prices in food such as whole grains or fresh produce. It all stems from the dependence oil that has now passed its peak in production. Our societies have been oil hungry for as many decades as most of us have been alive, if not longer. If you read the news or even just look online these days the writing is on the wall. Globalization has, in a sense, created a smaller planet but the populous ha... [more]

- Color-Full Ritual by Janice Van Cleve [981 reads]
 We use many tools to work our magic. We have our sacred tools, of course, like athames and wands, chalices and charms, spells and symbols, and the like. We also have herbs and stones and special oils. We cast circles and call in the elements and the directions. These and other tools we use to move o... [more]
- The Argument For Sacrifice by Hrafnkell [981 reads]
 I would imagine that many and probably most Pagans have personal altars at home and we lavish attention upon them, even posting photos of them proudly on the Internet. But I would argue that the use to which we put our personal altars far outweighs in importance the way in which we decorate them. ... [more]
- Why Covens Often Fail by Talitha Dragonfly [1,632 reads]
 I've been doing a little research lately on the subject of why Covens often fall apart so fast. The answers I've been collecting come from talking with other Pagans, scanning a few Pagan-themed message boards, revisiting the pages of some of my books, reading articles written by respectable authors,...

- Analyzing Power Dynamics in the Coven Setting by Dawn Phoenix [451 reads]
Though every group, regardless of character or purpose, will necessarily have a power dynamic eminent in the relationships between its members, the nature of the relationships inherent and nearly unique to the coven provides an unfortunately fertile environment in which the Power-over dynamic may re...

- Seeking Company On a New Spiritual Path by R.E. [695 reads]
When first dipped a tentative toe into the waters of Paganism, I secretly felt I’d never sustain the interest. The pragmatic and logical person that I am knew that a “real” faith didn’t combine spirituality and magic. Never did I imagine that the exploring and experience would generate a call to dev... [more]
- Economy Depleting Our Pagan Communities by Church of the Blessed Moon [1,105 reads]
 Yesterday, I had to tell my son to limit his after school snack. Today, I had to tell my husband we wouldn’t be having lunch anymore at work. Tomorrow, I will partake in my community's Beltane weekend, where I can assure you there will be less food at the communal potluck. There will be more carpool... [more]
- Love, Pride, and Silence by Celeste [1,060 reads]
 People who are proud of their religion want to put it out there in to the world. They want to make the world know that their religion is incredible. But when you’re Wiccan, no matter how much you want to put it out in to the world, you have to consider the consequences of doing so. I learned this th... [more]

Walking An Ancient Path
Author: Karen Tate
Category: Pagan, Goddess Spirituality, Religion, W Level: All
    The Sacred Feminine, whether viewed as an archetype, ideology or heavenly deity, has been stripped from our cultures, religions and psyches for several millennia. But we are starting to remember her roots and origins. She is the missing piece of the spiritual, cultural and political puzzle that can address the human conditions of suffering that plagues the planet. Writing from the heart, Tate's enthusiasm, passion for justice, and vision of love and enlightenment is personified in the concept of the Sacred Feminine. In Walking An Ancient Path, Tate takes us on a timeless journey to sacred plac ... Impressions: 942,879
