Alone In Her Presence: Paganism’s Permission to Dare

Last updated on: September 7, 2015 at 10:00 pm By Erick DuPree

What is distinct about Paganism is that we have no litmus test for belief entry. Personally, I'm not deeply invested in what anyone believes, not my editor Jason Mankey or my fellow writer John Halstead. I am far more interested in what someone knows. I want to know about how you come into your magical experience. How you document it, break it apart and put it back together. Read more

Alone In Her Presence: Turning In to Turn Back Out

Last updated on: March 25, 2015 at 9:00 pm By Erick DuPree

I wonder how many of us are in need of turning back in just a little bit? Not depressed, or sad, we are living full and meaningful lives, but we've lost connection. In times like this the only thing I know how to do is a hard reset and return to basics. Read more

Alone In Her Presence: An Open Heart and a Naked Soul

Last updated on: February 25, 2015 at 5:00 pm By Erick DuPree

I have come to know the Goddess as the vessel of our most intimate self. Whether in worship, public ritual, or alone in her presence what the Goddess has provided me is a vessel. Sometimes this is a liminal vessel whereby we are standing on the edge of magic, and other times it is simply holy emptiness. Shallow or deep this vessel is the fertile mantle I build my Spiritual practice upon. It is where I touch suffering, and release it. It is where I set my intentions for the world, and invite transmutation of personal karma Read more

Alone In Her Presence: Heart Leads the Way – The Practice of Loving Kindness

Last updated on: February 11, 2015 at 9:00 am By Erick DuPree

The universe has an odd way of inviting me to question deeper. As I sat down to write today, the tea bag in my cup of tea offered this wisdom, " Let your heart speak to other's hearts." And I thought to myself, what might it look like if Valentine's Day got a re-fame. That instead of romantic love, and the pursuit of it, we instead focused our hearts on loving the self. What does your heart say to you and how does it lead the way Read more

Green Tara, The Practice of Releasing Suffering

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 8:00 am By Erick DuPree

In my chanting practice I serve as Tara's agent, absorbing the suffering of others and lifting them up to Tara, where she transmutes the suffering and transforms it into blessings. My work with Goddess Tara is truly amazing, because it balances my own suffering and empowers my intuition and empathy. In the devotional chanting, my awareness expands and I can feel the power of the blessings of Tara. I can see her touching the suffering of those whom she has guided me to chant for. I do not always know why, but I always know there is a need. Read more

Alone In Her Presence: Letting Go – The Practice from Hostage to Hopeful

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 8:00 am By Erick DuPree

Letting go might be the hardest thing to put into practice. There are many things in our daily life, both material and immaterial, that we attach to. For some of us, it is the expectation to live our lives in accordance to another's rule book. For others, we are hostages to our own doubt. For me, it was overcoming the years of feeling not good enough and finally knowing worthiness. This attachment to "not good enough" is something that I continue to work through and with. That is the practice, why it is called "doing the work." Read more

Alone In Her Presence: Just Breathe, The Practice of Permission, Affirmation, & Dedication

Last updated on: December 31, 2014 at 8:00 am By Erick DuPree

The new year is upon us. This is the time of resolutions and promises to self often forgotten by February. But what if the commitment to self was more empowered, and leaned into the invitation of the wholeness that is holy, rather than being an obligation? For me, holiness and the sacred is found in Daily Practice. Read more

Alone In Her Presence: Lou Florez – The Cultural Exchange of a Lifetime

Last updated on: December 3, 2014 at 4:04 pm By Erick DuPree

This is our moment as a community to invest in an exchange. Lou and his trip to Nigeria is destiny manifested. This is one culture exchange I think will heal past wounds of slavery and oppression, bridge gaps where deeper understanding is needed around the discovery of religious experiences that are new to us, and hopefully invite the dialogue that fosters love.
