Video Video: Mental Skillness

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:54 am By Guest Contributor

VIDEO: “At TED’s Full Spectrum Auditions, comedian Joshua Walters, who’s bipolar, walks the line between mental illness and mental “skillness.” In this funny, thought-provoking talk, he asks: What’s the right balance between medicating craziness away and riding the manic edge of creativity and drive?” Joshua Walters is also a mental health educator. VIDEO: Joshua talks about mental state cycles of bipolar disorder and what happens when people decide to stop their medication because they want to be “normal”. For more... Read more

The Pagan Community Is Preparing To Aid Members In Health Care Facilities

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:54 am By Guest Contributor

On March 8, I addressed the lack of trained Pagan clergy who could meet the needs of community members in health care facilities. “The Pagan Community Isn’t Ready to Aid Members In Health Care Facilities”. Motivated by this need, I networked with Pagan clergy, writers, counselors, and professors to start the Pagan Health Care Resource Team. Our goal is to create an open health resource for Pagans and helping professions regarding the needs of Pagan clients. We are still deciding... Read more

IMAGE: Symbol for Closed Captioning. Two C’s in a box resembling a TV. Special thanks to Ocean from the Deaf Pagan Crossroads for informing me about NAD’s lawsuit. “The National Association of the Deaf (NAD), the nation’s premier civil rights organization of deaf and hard of hearing individuals, announced the filing of a major federal lawsuit against Netflix today in U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, Western Division in Springfield, MA.

Summer Solstice 2011

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:54 am By Guest Contributor

Each day is a new opportunity to bring into balance our spiritual, physical, and intellectual being. The full lunar eclipse on the Winter Solstice of 2010 was an exceptional opportunity to start mastering the three worlds: spiritual, physical, and mental. (Staff of Asclepius “Winter Solstice 2010: A complete picture of three worlds.”) Six months later, our world enters a tilt where the northern hemisphere receives maximum hours of sunlight during the Summer Solstice. There is a saying that life is... Read more

Why You're Affected by McCollum v. CDCR (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation)

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:54 am By Guest Contributor

Patrick McCollum and legal advisors released a nine page response to the denial of their employment discrimination case. “The employment discrimination ruling is especially disturbing and is one that all religious people should be worried about, not only Pagans. It creates precedent that gives the state the power to discriminate on the basis of religion for chaplain jobs, for example chaplains in prisons, hospitals, the veterans’ administration, and the military. The court ruled that the state could choose to prefer... Read more

In a time of ecological collapse, when the hideously authoritarian and corporate-driven Stewards have taken control of most of the land and set up an apartheid state, one region has declared itself independent: the Bay Area and points north.” During WWI and WWII, citizens planted produce and herb gardens at private residences and public...
