A Pagan's Blog

Many conservative Jews have supported the “Christian” right because they mindlessly support Israel.  Judging from events happening in Texas, maybe they are about to be reminded of what these people really think about real live Jews, as “Christian” fanatics have demonstrated for the previous 2000 years…

Some of the flying monkeys on the right made fun of Costa Rican Christine Figueres for invoking the blessings of Ixchel, the ancient Mayan Goddess of reason, creativity, and weaving,  upon a meeting of the UN Convention on Climate Change being held in Cancun.    As the Washington Post reports, she told the deputies “May…

It’s been hard to concentrate on this blog since I returned from Utah.  Really hard.  While the trip, like any trip with a 9 year old, was not without its aggravations, being immersed in such powerful, beautiful and peaceful land was a kind of spiritual balm.  I set aside thinking about politics and keeping up with…

The Saturday before Thanksgiving the United Religions Initiative’s People of the Earth   gathering took place in San Francisco’s Presidio.  This was the third in a series of meetings seeking to build mutual awareness and respect among the practitioners of many earth oriented religions, from the most traditional indigenous peoples to the most technologically savvy NeoPagans.…

Wikileaks and Julian Assange have certainly caught the attention of the world, for which I applaud them.  Looking around, I discovered Assange has his own blog, and it is well worth looking through.  One of his most fascinating essays is available at cryptome (scroll down, the formatting sucks).  I discovered it by being led to…

I went searching for some Solstice cards to send out for Yule.  To my surprise no local stores seemed to have any, so I searched around on the net.  I found some really beautiful ones at Lytha Studios.   Perhaps others can recommend sources for good Pagan cards for the season?

UPDATE Celia Farran ,  a Pagan singer who I have raved about before on this blog will be doing two performances this December in the Bay Area.  I don’t have the time to say a lot right now as I am getting ready for a plane flight, so see two youtubes of her performances, here  and…

Writing about a Pagan take on Las Vegas and the Colorado Plateau has turned into a vastly bigger undertaking than I initially imagined.  Bigger than a single blog post – but really clarifying in helping me get a better grasp on what is good and not so good about the modern world, and why.  So…

Jonathan Zasloff at Mark Kleiman’s Reality Based Community has an interesting discussion of a passage in the Old Testament which, if taken literally, admits the Jewish God is one among many. Of course for us this comes as no surprise. But it’s nice to see it in a literal reading of Abrahamic scripture. (CORRECTED)

I got up this morning on the east side of California’s Sierras and made it into Sebastopol this afternoon.  A long trip, mostly good.  While among the canyons and cliffs the web was pretty far from my mind – inconvenient to use and an intrusion on more wonderful things.  Mostly I erased unwanted emails so…
