We want to interview you!

As you may already know, I am the Managing Editor at HumanisticPaganism.com. We are starting a new project at HP called “HP Pride”, interviewing members of the Humanistic Paganism community and other like-minded friends. Whether you call yourself an “Atheist Pagan”, “Atheist Witch”, “Pagan Humanist”, “Druid Naturalist”, or none of the above — if you have a love for the myth and ritual of Paganism, but not its supernatural or non-empirical aspects — then we’d like to interview you. One or more interviews will be published every month. If you are not a “Big Name Pagan”, or if you have never written online before, all the better!

Here’s what to do:

1. Indicate what name you want to be identified by. (Especially important if you are not out of the closet about your Paganism.)

2. Answer the questions below. (It’s ok to skip questions if you want.)

2. Limit your responses to each question to about 250 words.

3. Take a picture of you or, if your are shy or concerned about privacy, you can take a picture of something that represents your Paganism. (No internet images please.)

4. Send your responses and your picture to humanistic paganism[at] gmail [dot] com
