A Pagan's Blog

Sorn and Low Key have led me to re-examine my comments about Vikings in my post on the loss of America’s soul. The Norsemen were not quite the villains they have been depicted as by Christian historians.  They suggested Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick’s excellent Pagan Europe and a BBC interview with Robert Ferguson on…

My workshops on Energy Healing at Pantheacon were simultaneously great successes and great frustrations.  I’d done it for several years, the numbers slowly growing.  Then, in 2008, the turnout more than filled a room, leaving me space about the size of a kitchen table top in which to stand and speak.  Any hope of actually…

Whole Foods, which touts its support for locally grown food and organic agriculture, imports a great deal of its frozen food from China. So says a report from ABC’s I-Team.    We are all aware of current Chinese honesty and quality regarding food.  Poisoned milk  and dead pets come to mind.  Knowing this, Whole Foods has…

Anne has a podcast interview of Patrick McCollum’s religious freedom struggle here on Blog o’ Gnosis.  It’s worth your while as McCollum gives vastly more detail and depth to this issue than is available in a published format.

The wonderful Pagan singer, Celia, came to Sonoma County yesterday.  While readers of this blog know I admire her work, we had never met.  However she had emailed me she would be singing at a meeting of Catholics concerned with social justice issue.  Perhaps I might want to come? I did.  I was not disappointed…

The “war” between certain kinds of religion and science is continuing unabated.  The village atheists such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris use this kind of thing to lambast religion in general, just as Christian Fundamentalists give all kinds of Christianity a bad name.  In fact the war between religion and science is entirely a…

Wild Hunt has done wonderful work in making more information available.  See Jason Pitzi-Water’s latest report here.  And he also had a piece when McCoillum met with Obama Administration officials to discuss issues such as religious discrimination.  Pitzi-Waters quotes McCollum  as to some of the truly depraved actions by Fundamentalists in California’s prison system I’d…
