Going Back To Nature Worship
Author: Lisa Rose Source: Star-Ledger
Title: GOING BACK TO NATURE WORSHIP
A rap on a drum breaks the silence amid a circle of worshipers celebrating the pagan holiday of Beltane.
The event, hosted by the South Jersey-based group Beyond the Summit, draws a multi-generational crowd. Fashion statements vary from tie-dye and tassels to piercings and tattoos. Different traditions are represented with druidic robes, Celtic kilts and Egyptian pendants.
Contrary to pop culture depictions of pagans, the members of Beyond the Summit aren't practitioners of dark magic. They don't pray to Satan or sacrifice animals.
Paganism is a religion centered on the sacrament of nature. Like all religions, it's often misinterpreted and misused.
Organizations like Beyond the Summit are founded to educate the public about the basis of earth worship.
