Dear Old Pagans... (Inciting a Riot)
There’s a meme that’s getting started in the pagan blogosphere in which one writes a letter to young pagans, exasperatedly begging them to quit their foolish ways. It seems to have begun here and is propagated by the Daily Pagan News tumblr. While many of these points are things I’ve talked about in the past, and many of them I agree with, I feel they are more universal than...

Paganism 101 Again….and Again… (Pantheon)
It fascinates me that there is no continuing education in Paganism (such as “Sunday School” or “Bible study”) but we have an endless series of 101 classes. I had to take them when I was considering the Alexandrian tradition of Witchcraft. I sometimes took classes twice when I was active in the Ravenwood tradition I was initiated in. Now I have rejoined Hellenion after an almost ten year...

And the Comments Keep Coming In: for Wade Long...
Responding on G+ to my earlier post on race in modern Paganism and at Pantheacon, Wade Long (who has also offered his thoughts on the Z Budapest flap) opined:
Well, America’s three quarters white, pretty much across the board. When you take into account that paganism in general is most embraced by white liberals, you’re going to HAVE to simply deal with the fact that there...

Notes from an old pagan (Something Oddly)
It saddens me that there are things going on in the pagan community that more divisive than binding: agism, my tradisms ( my trad is better than yours), gender discrimination of all ilks, OMGS you can’t do that because it’s harm clan, and the list is longer than I can really wish to see… these things seem to be part of the human condition. Regardless of who we are as...

Negative Energy That Ruins Relationships (New...
Today, there are thousands of women in Africa who are victims of rape through war. Invading soldiers use rape as a tactic to conquer rival villages and tribes. Once these women are raped, they are type cast as being “ruined” ousted out of their village, and ostracized by family and friends. Rape is also spoken about in many African myths. The concept of rape and incest is considered...

A Rant About "True" and "Authentic" Traditions...
….OR “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” Ever notice there is an energy around the blog world that seems to be contagious, and suddenly everyone is writing about the same thing? Yes I guess we are connected! And not only through a wireless internet feed! Lately I have started realizing not only how so very tired I am of the argument over what is the “authentic, real,...

Oh, Brother! (Another Ravan Perch)
Here, PantheaCon 2012: Politics and the controversy over women’s rituals Gus DiZerega mansplains away Z Budapests hate speach, and then further down in the comments refuses to use “cis-” - he uses “trans-women” and “women” because he feels that tras-women are “real women”, and therefore abnormal:
I very deliberately did not use “cis.” I will ...

Feng Shui and Household Repairs (The Domestic...
I recently have been doing some repairs in my home and still have more to tackle. Sometimes it feels almost like it’s snowballing - as if the negative energy from one broken thing is spreading out like a virus to other parts of the house. I need to do some serious feng shui in my own home right now, so I decided to repost this! What is Feng Shui? Feng Shui, which literally translates...

Bend Over And Think Of Baphomet I – Towards A...
(The title of this series is shamelessly stolen from the title of a previous work by Phil Hine. Credit where credit’s due.)
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law
The following is part of a series I wrote a few years ago whilst quite new to a thelemic order, and as I was forming a relationship to its central philosophy. How did I relate to this? Is the law really for all and if so...

"Women's intuition" and patriarchal veil-making...
The term, “intuition”, can mean all sorts of things. The word itself still requires further definition if we are to get to the core of it. If we are talking about the capacity to have correct hunches — what is normally referred to as ‘women’s intuition” — then the best explanation/definition I have heard is that this is a category of intuition...

Pagan Blog Project: D is for Dualism. (Living With...
I was pretty grossly unimpressed with the suggestions for the letter D, again, until I reread more carefully and saw dualism.
Oh man! Dualism! Memories!
I developed a deep hatred of dualism when I was very early (like, a few months) into what I guess I would coyly term my pagan adventure. I decided that then, the only god I spoke with consistently at the time — Loki — was anathema to...

The Jomsvikings Part 5 : The Great Battle (An...
The Jomsviking fleet sailed south along the coast, and though most fled before them, they still managed to kill a great many people. Vagn then sailed to the Island of Hod where he met a man named Ulf. Ulf told Vagn that Earl Hakon had one ship hidden behind the island in Hjorunga Bay. Vagn, who was wary of this stranger, told Ulf that he would accompany the Jomsvikings, and show them the way....
