We All Just Speak for Ourselves: Absolutes with Deity & Witchcraft

Last updated on: July 15, 2020 at 10:43 am   By Jason Mankey

When debates consume small parts of the online Pagan Community, it’s generally because someone has chosen to write or speak in absolutes. Absolutes limit deities, traditions, and Paganism as a whole, and most likely represent one person's opinion, not a practice or deity. Read more

Freedom is Everyone’s Responsibility

Last updated on: July 4, 2019 at 8:13 pm   By Jason Mankey

The Summer is for Pagans

Last updated on: July 3, 2019 at 9:31 pm   By Jason Mankey

Midsummer and Lammas might not be my favorite sabbats, but that doesn't mean I take a break from being Pagan in the Summer, just the opposite. In many ways Summer is the most Pagan time of the year! Read more

Pagans Across America: Good Folks Are Everywhere

Last updated on: June 26, 2019 at 11:03 am   By Jason Mankey

I think Paganism is better when we are all Pagans together instead of separate groups of whatever our traditions are. We are not a perfect community by any means, but I do honestly believe we are a community full of good people, and that we all have something to offer. Read more

Summer Solstice Musings

Last updated on: June 20, 2019 at 9:25 am   By Jason Mankey

For whatever reason Midsummer has never truly resonated the way others sabbats have with me; the Solstice has always suggested more to me than it has actually delivered. Read more

Why Can’t There Be Christian Witches?

Do We Need Pan-Pagan Clergy? (I Don’t Think So)

Last updated on: May 28, 2019 at 2:25 pm   By Jason Mankey

The Pagan Community needs people who know how to run rituals and provide services we associate with "clergy." However I'm not sure we need anything close to full time paid clergy, and I look at people who advocate for such things with a great degree of skepticism. Read more

Of Course We Like Sex

Last updated on: May 3, 2019 at 4:23 pm   By Jason Mankey

But the majority of our dalliances at Beltane occur outside the circle, and they are engaged in by a wide-range of people and sexualities. Wanting that to be expressed in ritual isn’t anti-sex, it’s about expressing a bigger picture of sexuality. Read more
