Soul On Fire
Author: D. Brian Burghart Source: News Review
Title: SOUL ON FIRE
I felt a personal irony as I read the Associated Press story that said a scholar had linked the Basilica of St. Anastasia, where the first Christmas mass on Dec. 25 was celebrated, to an ancient pagan shrine dedicated to Romulus and Remus.
It was ironic because Hunter and I were preparing to go to our first pagan celebration of the winter solstice, or Yule. It was to be held at the Sacred Earthwalk Spirit Lodge north of Reno. It was led by Margie Ewen, who accepts the title “noaide,” which is sort of a medicine woman, a shaman of the Sami people in the Nordic countries, basically an intermediary between humanity and its gods. Ewen, 45, has been on the pagan path for 25 years. She was a high priestess of a Wiccan coven in Eugene, Ore., at the age of 20. She’s been practicing in Reno for nine years.
