Union Of Faiths
Author: Julie Baker Source: The State News (MSU, MI)
Title: UNION OF FAITHS
Naomi Mendelsohn wears a pentacle around her neck. Its encircled upright five-pointed star represents earth, air, fire, water and spirit — the elements of her Pagan beliefs.
Because she wears a symbol of a religion that is commonly misunderstood, Mendelsohn said she and Pagan friends have received ridicule and challenges to their beliefs in the past from people who didn’t understand them.
This made her think the Pagan community at MSU needed a place to call their own.
Mendelsohn is the president of Green Spiral, a Pagan student organization meant to be a safe space for a collective group of people with different religious beliefs. Founded in 1997, Green Spiral went on hiatus in 2004, before Mendelsohn helped bring it back this semester.
Paganism is an umbrella term encompassing a multitude of nature-based religions, including: Wicca, Druidism, Shamanism, Hinduism and Shinto.
