Ringing a Bell for Freedom

Last updated on: August 29, 2013 at 9:01 am By Crystal Blanton

In a capitalistic society that places value on egalitarianism and protestant work ethics, we here in the United States still do not have access to jobs, quality education, or a true sense of freedom.

Spirit Lessons: Personal Responsibility in Growth

Last updated on: August 21, 2013 at 9:11 am By Crystal Blanton

The process of self-actualization does not just happen in any given moment, it is an accumulation of moments that last a lifetime; life’s lessons do not cease.

Last updated on: August 7, 2013 at 8:48 am By Crystal Blanton

How often is the Pagan challenged with separating their presentation from their spiritual self? How often are African American Pagans, or any other ethnic Pagan that has to balance the worlds of faith and culture, confronted with the confusion of expression?

Love is the Law…Even at Fruitvale Station

Last updated on: July 29, 2013 at 9:01 am By Crystal Blanton

I hope that all tears generated in theaters around the world for the heartbreaking injustice that happened in front of a train full of people at the Fruitvale BART station in Oakland, California -- and then later in a court room when his killer only served 11 months for his death -- will generate enough energy to send healing to Oscar's spirit, and hope to his family.

Grieving the Loss of Hope: Healing in the Dark of Injustice

Last updated on: July 14, 2013 at 3:45 pm By Crystal Blanton

After I watched the verdict come in, my children came home from the park. I looked at the variation of their brown-colored faces and thought, “I don’t know how to convince my children that they matter.” The realization that I cannot keep them safe was staggering. Read more
