What keeps Paganism thriving is not authors. It’s not bloggers, or journalists. It’s not those giving workshops or appearing in television specials or writing academic papers. It’s teachers and community organizers. People who don’t publish, or receive much recognition from the larger community.

These are the people who organize your Pagan Pride days, who show up to meet and greets rain or shine. These are people who patiently teach meditation 101 and basic protocol over and over, year in and year out, to seekers without compensation. People who open their homes so that Pagans have places to celebrate their rites, or who run shops catering to all Pagans while staying out of all the politics and drama. Clergy who say “Call me anytime, that’s what I’m here for.”

So before we start focusing on Memorial Day and our men and women in service, I’d like to give this space to praising those who do the groundwork in our communities.

Who is the unsung hero in your community? The organizer? The clergy? The teacher? The forum moderator? Who would you like to give some well-deserved praise?
