Almost to Pagan Spirit Gathering

Last updated on: June 18, 2011 at 7:09 am   By Star Foster

I am writing to you from a Super 8 in Tuscola, IL that is like a Valhalla of hospitality after a full day on the road, and then being pushed ever further north in search of a room thanks to a softball competition. Who knew Mattoon, IL was such a big deal? I have literally been a ball of nerves for days, trying to plan, pack, take care of work stuff, put things in place before I leave, play Tetris... Read more

Hail the Father Gods

Last updated on: June 18, 2011 at 3:35 am   By Star Foster

Recycled from June 23rd, 2010. I’m still on my way to PSG! Wow, my writing has changed in a year! I’m not even certain I agree with this post anymore! While God(s) as Mother is an important aspect of Pagan religions, I find the most satisfaction and meaning in Pagan views of God(s) as Father. It’s been noticed by some of us that our relationships with our parents affect our relationship with the Gods. I’ve had a tumultuous relationship with... Read more

Are the Myths Gossip?

Last updated on: June 16, 2011 at 6:21 am   By Star Foster

I have so much I wanted to write about today. About Ghetto Shamans and Hugin the Bard and a gazillion other things, but the spectre of PSG packing is looming over me. I’m in full panic mode to prepare for 9 days of camping, plus travel. So I will leave you with two quotes, one modern and one old, on a subject bouncing around in the back of my head, and leave you to examine and ponder them at leisure... Read more

A Big Welcome to The Wild Hunt!

Last updated on: June 15, 2011 at 5:42 am   By Star Foster

As Jason posted this morning, The Wild Hunt is moving to Patheos, and I and the rest of  the Patheos staff are thrilled to have him on board. I’m not the only fan of Jason’s work here at Patheos and we’ve worked hard to make sure we can provide what he and his community needs. Jason writes: For the majority of Wild Hunt readers, the shift will be seamless. The new site will initially have the same design as the... Read more

Modern Ancestor Worship Musings

Last updated on: June 14, 2011 at 10:52 am   By Star Foster

Galina Krasskova’s column tomorrow will be focusing on ancestors, and it got me to thinking about my own ancestors and how I incorporate them into my spirituality. I’ve been slowly tracing back my family’s history and thinking of the stories my parents and grandparents told me. Usually talk of ancestors was accompanied by a book, either a small notebook crammed with notes or family Bibles being opened. My mother’s father had no birth certificate and the family Bible was the... Read more

Pagan Spirit Gathering registration closes this evening, so if you’re still wanting to attend you still can. Note that you can opt to just come for the last weekend. I understand a high turnout is expected, and I’m pulling my hair out as I try to do the gazillion things I need to do before hitting the road. I will be there hanging out with bloggers, podcasters and journalists. Feel free to stop by Media Camp and say hi! I’ll... Read more

Guest Post: Drew Jacob “Temple Without a Song: a Report to the Community”

Last updated on: June 12, 2011 at 7:11 am   By Guest Contributor

For seven years Temple of the River has been near to my heart. Most days, regardless of work or family obligations, I spent at least a little time thinking about or working for the Temple. As it grew, a lot of that time was spent working with students who stepped up to take over some of the work. It was never an easy project. But it was always worth it because we were building something that would help people. Temple... Read more

Wyrd Designs – Understanding the Words – Wyrd and Orlog

Last updated on: June 11, 2011 at 8:16 am   By wyrddesigns

The concepts of wyrd and orlog are interconnected, but can sometimes prove to be stumbling blocks as their meanings are learned. In Heathenry we have no absolute concept of one’s fate, rather we have a notion that our destiny, or doom is comprised by choices and while a certain fate may come to pass, we also have the ability to make other choices to potentially change it. To understand how wyrd and orlog are connected, let us explore the meanings... Read more

Ayn Rand: Godmother of Satanism
