Pagan Road Trip – 365 Days Riding With A Goddess

Last updated on: December 6, 2011 at 11:49 pm By Peter Dybing

Pagan Road Trip – 365 Days Riding With A Goddess Over the last year as First Officer for Covenant of the Goddess I learned much, became aware of many issues within the Pagan community and made many new friends. This experience has led me to a desire to get to know the wider Pagan community better. With this in mind it is my plan to travel the nation in 2012 and meet as many members of the community as I...

Occupy And The Tapestry of Social Justice.

Last updated on: December 4, 2011 at 12:31 pm By Peter Dybing

Across America minority communities witness the Occupy movement’s expressions that the political system is fundamentally flawed. While the Occupy protesters may seem few, on a national scale they are having a profound effect; creating the perception that the political system is beyond repair. While not protesting, millions of Americans have expressed their agreement with the goals and positions of this movement. What does all this mean for the political landscape in this nation? First, participation in the political system is... Read more

Open Letter to the President

Last updated on: November 29, 2011 at 11:56 pm By Peter Dybing

Dear Mr. President, What happened to you? Today this country sits on the precipice of great change. Citizens are protesting. Legislation is pending that holds the potential to strip Americans of their rights and you remain silent. Tens of thousands of Americans are engaging in protest around this country and there is no response from the White House. Local governments are using nuisance laws to suppress First Amendment rights. From the women’s suffrage movement to the civil rights protests there... Read more

The Right of the People Peaceably to Assemble

Last updated on: November 14, 2011 at 9:34 am By Peter Dybing

What would our country be like if the First Amendment read: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, except by large groups, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, except in cases of public sanitation, unauthorized camping or use of public parks, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances so long as these petitions come from...

A Pagan request for help in Haiti

Last updated on: November 9, 2011 at 10:04 am By Peter Dybing

Wounded by the sheer volume of human suffering my heart has yet to recover from the sights and sounds of Haiti after the quake. Over the past many months I have been involved with an organization known as 100% for Haiti. Yes, there is an organization that spends all of its funds assisting the children of Haiti. No this organization has no paid staff outside of Haiti, why would we? Haiti is where our efforts are focused. With the major... Read more

Guest Post – Some thoughts on healing our sexist culture at home

Last updated on: October 17, 2011 at 8:38 pm By Peter Dybing

Today while doing a bit of research I was disturbed to be reminded of the pervasive sexism embedded in Wicca. Dividing the world into masculine and feminine, whether personality traits or the elements air (masculine) and water (feminine), does a disservice to both genders and to our world. Why should air or water have a gender? Why should the act of leadership which corresponds to air be masculine, are our women not leaders. Many in justifying this archaic gender role... Read more

Wall Street- Demands Clear

Last updated on: October 8, 2011 at 5:18 pm By Peter Dybing

The establishment response to the Occupy Wall Street protests is disingenuous and dishonorable in the extreme. This strategy which ignores the aspirations of the American people in order to maintain the corporate grip on power is amoral. The 1% know very well what is being demanded, attempts to muddy the waters with a “lack of understanding” or name calling “dirty Hippie” are only desperate attempts to discredit the protesters. Stated simply WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK! We seek to, for... Read more

My First Wand, Gifted By A Child

Last updated on: October 2, 2011 at 11:05 am By Peter Dybing

Over the years my practice as a Witch has relied heavly on tools, some traditional like the Chalice, the Athame and the Pentacle, others from my background with native traditions. Strangely, I have never incorporated the Wand as a standard item in my personal ritual process. This is extremely unusual considering the strong influences of the element of Fire on my life. With wands being so associated with Fire one would logically make the assumption that I would have long... Read more
