Local Pagans Celebrate Summer
Author: Alice Collinsworth Source: The Edmond Sun (OK)
Title: LOCAL PAGANS CELEBRATE SUMMER
Most Oklahomans probably don’t pay much attention to the Summer Solstice, or the “longest day” of the year — except maybe to notice that it’s the first official day of summer.
But one group of about 20 local girls and women, members of the Channing Spiral Circle Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS), celebrated the upcoming Solstice, or “Litha,” Sunday evening with singing, dancing and making summer wreaths.
To Pagans, the event is one of eight Sabbats, or holidays, observed through the year. Each Sabbat marks a season of the sun and the rhythm of life and death.
The local women represent a broad array of beliefs, but share a common focus on Earth-centered worship and a respect for feminine spirituality.

Just an outstanding article, a system of belief clearly presented with no judgmental comments from the reporter. I wish there were more like this.

I shed a tear (albeit a small one) when I read the article. It was straight and to the point with no opinions expressed. Just the facts presented in a matter of fact way, no pros or cons, no emotion. Let the emotion be generated by the seeker, not by the presenter.
