Countdown to Earth Day 2016: #20 Vote Responsibly

Last updated on: March 29, 2016 at 8:42 pm By John Halstead

One thing you can do to honor the Earth this Earth Day is to vote responsibly. Voting responsibly means knowing how your elected officials are influenced by big money. Campaign politics tends to focus on issues: where the candidates say they stand. But we all know that politicians will say a lot of things to get elected. And we also know that politics is really driven by campaign contributions. But few of us know how our own elected officials are influenced by money. Here's how you can find out where your elected officials get their money. Read more

Godless Paganism: Voices of Non-Theistic Pagans is now available for sale!

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 9:14 pm By John Halstead

While many Pagans today believe in literal gods, there are a growing number of Pagans who are “godless.” Today, the diverse assemblage of spiritual paths known as Paganism includes atheist Pagans or Atheopagans, Human- istic and Naturalistic Pagans, Buddho-Pagans, animists, pantheists, Gaians, and other non-theistic Pagans. Here for the first time, their voices are gathered together to share what it means to be Pagan and godless. Read more

Countdown to Earth Day 2016: #21 Divest from Fossil Fuels

Last updated on: April 1, 2016 at 4:50 pm By John Halstead

Individual consumers do not have the power to change the system. The system is driven by big money. So the way to change the system is to take away the money. One thing you can do to honor the Earth this Earth Day is to support divestment from fossil fuels. This means demanding that large organizations which we support -- like businesses, universities, churches, employers with retirement funds, etc. -- no longer invest their money in the fossil fuel industry, and instead invest their money in ecologically responsible ways.

Tell Me Again That Jungians Can’t Be Pagan (edited)

Last updated on: March 22, 2016 at 8:21 pm By John Halstead

The claim that Jungians can't be Pagan ignores the (at least) thousands of Pagans who hold an archetypalist view of the gods. What's more, it ignores almost 50 years of contemporary Pagan history. I get the impression that some people think that I invented Jungian polytheism. In fact, Jungian interpretations of the gods of polytheism were popularized by many popular Pagan writers over a period of decades, long before I called myself Pagan. Read more

American Gods and the Growth of Devotional Polytheism, Part 2: Dilution and Transcendence

Last updated on: March 19, 2016 at 10:34 am By John Halstead

American Gods reflected -- and probably magnified -- a dissatisfaction among many Pagans with popular forms of Paganism. And it offered one possible alternative: literal belief in the gods and devotional forms of worship. Popular Paganism was failing to produce the kind deep religious experiences that many of Pagans craved, and devotional polytheism promised to answer that craving. Read more
