My Gods are Real and Independent Beings

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

To say the Gods are independent is to say They do not rely on our existence for Their existence. They are sovereign beings, They are not ruled by us, They are not dependent on us. If we humans destroy ourselves - the Gods will still be here. Read more

On Comparing the Gods to Humans

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

The Importance of Ritual in My Paganism

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

In my religion, in my Hekatean Hellenism, ritual has come to be the backbone. It matters, it is important. There is no substitute for ritual, there is no act that is just as good, or close enough. Read more

Do You Have a Source for That?

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

Someone will post something that is ostensibly ancient and others will comment either that it is not historical or they will ask for proof that it is actually historical. And that's when all the sparks fly and the feathers get ruffled. Read more

I’m an Armchair Pagan

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

You don't do rituals, you don't praise the Gods (or equivalent), you don't really do anything. Your religion is more about belief than about action. And right now, that's me. Read more

Grandma and the Ostara Storm – A Pagan Childrens Book

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

In essence, this book could perhaps be seen as a story that normalises Ostara as much as Easter is normalised - it needs no explanation, because it is what it is. The story is simply based on the time of Ostara, but it is actually about the season and the weather. Read more

The Gods Are More Than Their Symbols

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 1:30 pm   By Bekah Evie Bel

The Gods are real, living beings and They are just as, if not more, complex than you and I. Sure, They might rule over this and that and this other thing, but that isn't the whole of Them. They are more than what They rule over. Read more
