Pagan Spirit Gathering 2011: One Week Left on the Supply Run

Last updated on: June 9, 2011 at 9:33 am By Star Foster

*Registration closes on Monday the 13th!* Last year I was a festal virgin, but I return to PSG this year feeling like part of the community. Looking back over the interviews from last year, and contemplating all the friends made both during and after PSG thanks to the event, it strikes me once more how important festival culture is to the Pagan community. Some folks go to Heartland, or Starwood or Sacred Harvest Festival and find a home. For me... Read more

Much Ado About Gaga

Last updated on: June 8, 2011 at 11:24 am By Star Foster

Over on the Evangelical portal Karen Zacharias Spears weighed in on Lady Gaga, and I thought it all sounded a bit familiar: “Elvis can’t sing, can’t play the guitar, and can’t dance. Yet two thousand idiots per show yelp every time he opens his mouth, plucks a guitar string, or shakes his pelvis like any striptease babe in town.” — Herb Rau, Miami Daily News, Aug. 4th, 1956 “It is a frightening thing for a man to watch his women...

Wyrd Designs – Cleanliness and Garb at Rituals

Last updated on: June 7, 2011 at 7:58 am By wyrddesigns

Heathens are a varied bunch, with varying opinions and interpretations on a number of issues, like with any religion. Among the items debated sometimes (and seemingly ad nauseum at times) is whether one should wear period garb or not. (more…) Read more

Pagan Soup: Burqinis, Polytheism, Circumcision and More

Last updated on: June 6, 2011 at 10:09 am By Star Foster

Nigella Lawson Sports A Burqini Nigella Lawson was seen frolicking on a beach wearing *gasp* clothing! The curvy celebrity chef is no stranger to showing skin, so maybe she just didn’t want a sunburn? People pointing out her cellulite?Muslim blogger Spirit21 writes: Lawson’s fear of sunburn may have inadvertently prompted the realisation that there is liberation in covering. This is something that Muslim women like me have expended much effort in explaining and defending. But maybe we can now move... Read more

Pagan Values: Domestic Abuse, Rape and Rihanna’s “Man Down”

Last updated on: June 5, 2011 at 9:57 am By Star Foster

Domestic abuse survivor Rihanna has a new song about murder, which isn’t news. Most genres of music are full of songs about death, murder and killing. I used to joke that parents worried about their kids should be just as concerned about violent folk music as violent rap. Yet the video for Rihanna’s Man Down places the murder in the context of rape. This is what I find interesting: we don’t blink an eye when a song invokes murder, but... Read more

Pagan Values: Justice, David Barton & the McCollum Decision

Last updated on: June 3, 2011 at 10:53 am By Star Foster

A while back, without so much as asking Jason of The Wild Hunt, I kicked off a campaign to get him on The Daily Show to provide a different perspective on David Barton and his activities. Barton’s interview made me angry and I knew his organization, Wallbuilders, has been a factor in keeping Patrick McCollum from having his day in court. I sat and fumed. I pondered. So I decided the best thing to do would be have someone informed,... Read more

McCollum’s Case and Other News

Last updated on: June 2, 2011 at 7:32 am By Star Foster

I’ve got several links to share with you today, and then just a bit to say on the McCollum case. First, the rather hateful attack from a Christian blogger has had a surprising effect on the Circle of Mom’s Faith Blogger contest: eight of the top twelve blogs are now Pagan, with the popular Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom and The Pagan Mom Blog taking the 1st and 3rd spots respectively. Attacking a community tends to rally it, and... Read more

Pagan Values: Pride

Last updated on: June 1, 2011 at 11:39 am By Star Foster

This June marks the 3rd Annual International Pagan Values Blogging and Podcasting Month, and I must say I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a bit. I intended to begin my participation on a different note, but I received some unexpected inspiration this morning. So, I’d like to be a bit unorthodox and quote a column that won’t publish until tomorrow morning. “Mostly, we call ourselves Heathens, and we do so partly because we’re proud of that which makes...

Our Conduct Matters, Not Our Labels

Last updated on: May 31, 2011 at 9:27 am By Star Foster

Find other posts related to this topic on the link round-up post! I have literally been overwhelmed by the debate in the Pagan blogosphere over the weekend. It’s been a chore simply processing all the information, and every time I found a point I felt I inclined to speak to, three new perspectives popped up and demanded my attention. In this debate I have found perspectives and statements I find disheartening. The idea that the only way for a minority... Read more
