A Pagan's Blog

Some interesting comments about my “Drawing Down the Moon” piece in “12 Things…” have prompted me to offer a longer discussion, based mostly on my personal experience. 

The anti-choice folks have struck again, holding over 60% of the country hostage to their irrational beliefs as a price for health care reform.  No health care reform unless abortion is made even more difficult than it already is.  If thousands die from lack of insurance, well, as Lenin said, you cannot make an omelet…

Pagans are among the newest and oldest of religions. The earliest Pagans were among the hunting and gathering peoples at the dawn of history, while today’s NeoPagans arose within the modern world and work within cutting edge businesses and sciences. If what you think you know about Pagans stems from Hollywood, sermons, or fragmentary news…

Many Americans believe abortion is murder.  Bad as I believe their reasoning is, and I believe it’s bad, it’s a fact.  Given that fact, it is difficult to ask them to contribute their tax money for murder – though most of them have no problem asking us to contribute ours for the murderous wars that…

The people who destroyed our economy, like CITI and Goldman Sachs, are now getting privileged access to HiNi vaccinations.  Hospitals go without, but not these jokers.  Huffington Post has more on this abomination.  While I think they were wrong, very seriously wrong, in what they did, I am daily becoming more sympathetic to the motives…

On a pretty important issue the United States is on the side of the Vandals, Mongols, and Thugs.  Italy is on the side of civilization and the rule of law.

Wicca 101 class went very well the day after I returned from the Southwest – despite my having forgotten to make copies of  Tables of Correspondence, which was to be a big part of the intended lesson.  Since we had been working with energy, I made a quick change, and we worked on shielding instead…

Matt Ygelsias over at Think Progress has posted an interesting, if confusingly colored, map showing what percentage of white men voted for Obama on a state by state basis.  He titles his headline “White Men Aren’t Very Progressive.”    His following discussion explored the allegedly “thin talent pool” from picking so many candidates from such a…

One of the most important dimensions of spiritualities rooted in Sacred Immanence is that any feature of our unfallen world has its sacred dimension.  I was reminded of this fact when looking up the history of Samhain in Ronald Hutton’s Stations of the Sun.   Hutton’s book is the most careful study of Britain’s seasonal observances…

While I think president Obama’s obsession with bipartisanship is an error and a weakness, he has pulled off a rare success against the military-industrial-congressional complex with his defense budget.  Whether it’s a false dawn, time will tell.  I hope I will turn out to have underestimated the guy. But so far he has been a…
