A Little Project: Support for Pagan Parents of Preemies by Janet Callahan

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:55 am By Guest Contributor

by guest author Janet Callahan According to the March of Dimes, 12.8% of births in the United States are premature – less than 37 weeks gestation. In most developed countries, it’s a little less, 5-9%. The reason for premature birth is never determined in fully half of those births. Still, that’s a lot of babies – 1 in 8 – so I know we can’t possibly be the only Pagan family who’s been through the NICU wringer. IMAGE: Premature infant... Read more

What are your core beliefs?

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:55 am By Guest Contributor

These are my core beliefs. Those ideas that shape who I am and who I would like to be. Some days I’m more true to myself than others. As above, so below. The Divine Consciousness has many faces and has been interpreted in many ways. All of reality is bound together through “The Web”. The Self and the Universe (or Universes) are divine. Nature is cyclical. Every person is responsible for their own actions. We are interdependent on our world... Read more

Cutting Social Security and Medicare is a Raw Deal

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:55 am By Guest Contributor

There are Pagan charities but currently they are few and far between. Beside the obvious life saving support Medicare and Social Security Disability (SSD) or Social Security Insurance (SSI) provides, we are getting assistance without having to declare our personal religious creed. As Pagans, we understand what it’s like to be the target of religious prejudice. Those Pagans who are also disabled and poor get prejudice on all sides. Those of us who do not have wealthy families have to... Read more
