Last updated on: September 5, 2019 at 4:42 pm By Dan Harper

God as a concept has a long history in Western philosophy, at least as far back as the ancient Greeks. But in order for the concept of god to be useful, you can’t have an anachronistic understanding of god...it is usually clear that someone like Aristotle was not a Christian, it’s easy to forget that Aristotle was also not a monotheist.

Last updated on: August 12, 2019 at 12:32 am By Amy Beltaine

Ritual, prayer, candle magic, and all the rest is not putting in a request to the divine piggy bank for a specific pay-out. When I pray for world peace I’m not expecting Big Daddy in the Sky to go “POOF, OK, you got it.” Read more

Tending the Flame of Hope in Times of Darkness

Last updated on: August 9, 2019 at 4:08 am By Irene Glasse

Of Sun and Shadow – A Recentering Reading for Summer

Last updated on: July 11, 2019 at 3:31 am By Irene Glasse
