Pagan Blogosphere Roundup – April 2016

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Bekah Evie Bel

A list of posts and articles that I have read this month (but may have been written ages ago) and have stood out as memorable to me. Usually in a good way, but not necessarily. I don’t necessarily agree with everything in the posts I am linking to, I sometimes just feel they are thought-provoking – and that alone makes them worth reading.

Of Mice and Gods

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Bekah Evie Bel

“Ask Hekate whether it is better to be rich or starving; she will tell you that the rich send her a meal every month and that the poor make it disappear before it is even served.” – Aristophanes, Plutus 410 It is not really known if this was okay or not. Some suggest these poor people would have been punished by Hekate for stealing Her offerings. But others suggest that the act of making an offering to Hekate was in... Read more

Sects Within Sects or The Fragmentation of Paganism

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Bekah Evie Bel

When we come into Paganism, we usually come into it via our own biases. Some people will be nature worshippers or similar, and they will find Paganism via that naturism. Some people will be witchy or occult and they will find Paganism via that. Some will be attracted to the Greek or Norse Gods, and they will come via that. And so we enter through these biases, thinking, in some cases, that this IS Paganism, this is all that Paganism... Read more

Crafting a Strophalos Plaque

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Bekah Evie Bel

I went looking online to try to find a nice altar tile or wall plaque that has Hekate’s Wheel, the Strophalos, on it. Not only was it very difficult to find any that are good for delivery to Australia – but the prices were pretty full on. It’s possible I was looking in the wrong places. I saw on Pinterest that someone had used a circle of wood and burned the strophalos into it. Very nice, and though I couldn’t... Read more

Polytheism Isn’t Yours

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Bekah Evie Bel

The debate about polytheism rages on. I have to be honest, this debate is one of the more stupid ones I have seen in the department of definition debates within Paganism. I mean, polytheism has a definition, a simple and broad definition. The belief in or worship of more than one god. Pretty clear, cut and dried. Right? Seems to me this leaves it open to anyone who believes in more than one god. They don’t even have to worship... Read more
