A Pagan's Blog

Pantheacon is starting Friday, Feb 12, and going through Monday, Feb 15, the Presidents’ Day Weekend. I urge any Pagans able to attend to do so.

UPDATE below New conservative folk hero James O’Keefe is turning out to have been a long time habitué of white supremacist gatherings and an associate of anti-Semites and racists according to a new report at Salon.  If so he is a perfect representative for a disturbingly big current within modern “conservatism.” O’Keefe’s racist behavior long…

Yes, right in the heart of where the Christian Right did its best to turn our airmen into zealots for Jesus,  a stone circle has been officially added to worship facilities at our Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs. The article from the Academy itself shows Tech. Sgt. Robert Longcrier consecrating the new circle with white…
