My Wishlist for the Pagan Community

Last updated on: March 6, 2014 at 12:41 am   By Sterling

What would it be like for the Pagan community to be completely mainstream? Not a majority religion, but such a common minority group as to be no different from any other minority religion? From where I'm sitting, it feels like we are already there. Read more

Do The Gods Care About Money?

Last updated on: February 27, 2014 at 5:35 pm   By Traci

As an animist, I struggle to find my place among modern paganism. My concept of gods and their relationship to humanity is just one of the many issues that often separates me from my fellows. Read more

Twisted Roots

Last updated on: February 26, 2014 at 4:14 pm   By Sterling

It never occurred to me that any of my ancestors might be Quaker. Now that I look around this place, I realize that they might have been, and if not Quaker, they might have still been people with alternative ideas about God and Spirit. Ancestors on my father's side might well have struggled with some of the same questions I struggle with. They might have fought the dominant paradigms of their day and tried to find better ways to live. Read more

Creating a Place-Based Practice

Last updated on: February 20, 2014 at 3:55 pm   By Traci

On the second dark moon of January, a group of 9 gathered in my front garden. We sought uncharted territory; in fact, were willing to risk vulnerability to find it. There, in my front garden that night, was the first meeting of an advanced working group committed to discovering the Place specific spirituality of Central Texas. Read more

The Value of Communities of Place

Last updated on: February 19, 2014 at 4:51 pm   By Sterling

Sometimes the most important communities are the unintentional ones, the ones that happen just because you live in a place and you run into the same people every day whether you like it or not. Read more
