The Allergic Pagan

Naturalistic Pagans, Jungians, and Polytheists, O my!

Naturalistic Pagans, Jungians, and Polytheists, O my! 2013-01-16T07:55:45-05:00 John Halstead

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

1.  B.T. Newberg has published a fascinating breakdown of the Naturalistic Pagan Community: Jungians, cognitive-evolutionary types, Pantheists, Cosmic types (Sagan’s Pagans), cultural/philosophical types, environmental types, and other atheists/agnostics.  I’ve recently been educated a little about the diversity of the Polytheistic community when I wrongly assumed that all Polytheists approach their gods in the same way.  It’s a useful reminder that Naturalistic Pagans are just as diverse.

2.  Over at PaganSquare, I just published a response, from a Jungian perspective, to P. Sufenas Virius Lupus’ call for a return to the Polytheistic gods.

3.  I’ve updated my collection of links related to the most recent Pagan-Polytheist controversy.
