A Pagan and Emotional Authenticity

Last updated on: January 19, 2011 at 1:46 pm By Peter Dybing

During a recent interaction with a friend where my feelings were hurt I was reminded if the importance of owning my emotions and avoiding the temptation to express myself in a less than authentic manor. As human beings we have all faced this many times. Strong emotions tend to lead to the incorporation of long standing issues, opinions and feelings into current situations. Inevitably this promotes the breakdown of honest communication, insight, love and compassion. Avoiding this requires that we... Read more

Back To Basics

Last updated on: January 16, 2011 at 11:27 am By Peter Dybing

Confined, discontented, infuriated at events, what is missing? How to overcome these feelings of melancholy? Action, a return to what I know and believe makes a difference at a personal level. Today I will, venture out from these four walls that were constructed to shelter me from the very thing I worship. Today I will, place my hands in the soil, work with the dirt to manifest something, no matter how small. Today I will, engage the sacred I perceive... Read more

Haiti One Year Later

Last updated on: January 11, 2011 at 9:41 pm By Peter Dybing

Haiti One Year Later Last night I received an e-mail from a member of COG asking me to give an update to the Pagan community on the progress in Haiti one year later and my personal insights as someone who responded to the disaster. Sitting hear shaking my head with tears welling in my eyes may not be the best frame of mind to write an informative narration on the state of Haiti. Each day I follow the lack of... Read more

Tea Party, Responsible or Irresponsible?

Last updated on: January 9, 2011 at 8:55 am By Peter Dybing

Those who would hold Sarah Palin responsible for the recent attack in Arizona miss the mark. Palin and the entire Tea Party movement should be held irresponsible. History is littered with those who use the rhetoric of violence to achieve their goals. The use of language and images that call to mind the use of violent force is beyond the pale. One of the basic lessons of our belief system is that words and images have power. Did Palin and... Read more

There are times when my very being calls out for the Goddess. For weeks it has been the holidays, work and my online Pagan friends that have dominated my daily life. From somewhere deep inside I was yearning for tangible contact with the Divine. Listen Peter; the Goddess is telling you something.Now I sit here typing with dirt packed under my fingernails, grounded and at peace with my self and with the Goddess. What caused this transformation? What ritual do... Read more

DADT, We Will Be Watching!

Last updated on: December 26, 2010 at 2:03 pm By Peter Dybing

DADT, We Will Be Watching! The great advance of 2010: repeal of the military “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy is being celebrated in the United States. This achievement is a major advance in establishing equality for all Americans. Success feels sweet, the forces of hatred, fear and intolerance have been beaten back in terms of the rights of gays in the service; or have they? History provides a multitude of examples of recently established civil rights being subverted by the... Read more

The Reason For The Season – Family

Tonight the young lady whom I have had the privilege of helping raise returned home from college for a holiday visit. Suddenly the house is a home again. This manifestation of the Goddess in her maiden form returns great energy to our home. Inside, my entire body smiles with a mix of Joy, Curiosity, Love and even Pride. These feelings remind me of the blessings I enjoy in my life. Even more, I am reminded that much of the Magik... Read more
