A Pagan's Blog

The wild card on environmental issues has always been our ingenuity. Current developments in Germany are pointing to a near future where any household who wants one can have a power generating plant in their basement that is greener, more efficient, and cheaper than anything done by the Big Boys. With many thanks to the…

The Fall Equinox has arrived, and with it the final Wiccan Sabbat celebrating the harvest, the reaping of the riches produced throughout the year.  Like the Spring Equinox, Mabon is a time of balance, but balance with a different flavor.  In the wheel of the Year the powers of life stand in balance with the…

I missed Sara’s third and final post on the fascist threat to America and what can be done to prevent its triumph.   It came out at the end of August, and I was deep into my own stuff.  But it’s good.

Tired of political theory and Paganism?  Here’s your chance! Even if you’re not tired, this is still a chance!
