Wyrd Designs – Understanding the Words – Fylgja

Last updated on: November 8, 2010 at 7:02 am By wyrddesigns

For those familiar with Irish folklore, you may have heard of tales about meeting a fetch. In these tales, a fetch is a person’s own doppelganger. Usually the seeing of one’s fetch portends one of two things in Irish folktales: if one sees their fetch in the morning (i.e. your own image) it means you have a happy long life ahead, but if you see your fetch in the evening your death is very near. The word fetch also appears... Read more

Top Ten Things Our Ancestors Want Us To Know

Last updated on: November 7, 2010 at 7:56 am By laurapatsouris

In the spirit of top 10 lists and the spirit of the season, here is my top 10 list of things the ancestors want us to know: 10. Everyone has ancestors, even if they don’t know who they are, the ancestors will recognize their own. If you’re adopted, then you have both biological and blood ancestors who watch out for you. 9. Even if you can’t hear or feel the presence of your ancestors, they can hear you just fine.... Read more

Wyrd Designs – Scouting for Pagans…

Last updated on: November 6, 2010 at 8:26 am By wyrddesigns

As American as apple pie and baseball, are hallmark institutions like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America. Most Americans have been exposed to both of these groups through their lives. Whether through active enrollment for a time in such a program, or from their friends being involved in the program, or the annual fund-raisers and volunteer projects in the community that scouts participate in. Of course, while we think of these organizations as uniquely American institutions, the fact... Read more

Guy Fawkes and Revolution

Last updated on: November 5, 2010 at 10:17 am By Star Foster

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I can think of no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot. It’s Guy Fawkes Day in England and revolution is on my brain. I’ve loved Guy Fawkes Day ever since I first saw V for Vendetta. The film was a good tonic after all the hyperbole following 9/11. Between fear that was real, fear that was imagined and fear that was invented, it was so good to... Read more

Sing to the Mighty Dead

Last updated on: November 4, 2010 at 6:03 am By Sara Amis

I’ve realized lately that many of the people I have admired from girlhood or learned to admire since were bisexuals, though some of them lived before the term was even coined. I’ve read their books and speeches, watched their movies, listened to their music, looked at their art, read about their lives and felt some sense of connection with each of them. I didn’t know it, but I had my tribe with me all along. Read more

My Top 10 Pagan/Heathen Movies

Last updated on: November 3, 2010 at 7:26 am By krasskova

Ok, I usually don’t write about topics like this, but over the past week half a dozen people have asked me about my favorite “Pagan” movies. Maybe they wore me down because I woke up this morning with the thought that I should put a little article together on my top ten so that others could enjoy them too. Now, when people ask me about my favorite Pagan themed movies, I can point them to this! This isn’t my complete... Read more

Religion and Politics

Last updated on: November 2, 2010 at 10:38 am By Star Foster

What is it about religion and politics? Why do we feel compelled to marry the two? I see other faith traditions become mired in it and occasionally see other Pagans dig hip deep into it, not merely as people but as Pagans. I confess I have a hard time understanding this. For me, if it wasn’t for politicians cropping up who feel a need to attack my faith, I don’t think I’d ever mix the two. Certainly my faith informs... Read more

Introspective Season

Last updated on: November 1, 2010 at 9:08 am By Star Foster

The Hallows season is here and our thoughts are turning inward. I’ve spent the summer focusing outward, on things I need to do and goals I want to accomplish. Yet when the leaves burn brilliant on the mountainside and woodsmoke scents the air, my thoughts naturally turn inward. It’s time to take stock of our souls and examine our lives. What do we lack? How do we find balance? This is something my priestess has been asking us all summer... Read more

A Meditation on Samhain

Last updated on: October 30, 2010 at 8:20 am By krasskova

I love this time of year more than any other. Almost on cue with the coming of Samhain, my little part of the world seems to transition abruptly into late autumn. Winter stands ready at the threshold just waiting for nature’s invitation to cross. There’s more than just a delicious chill in the air, now the wind has bite and the promise of the coming winter’s stinging coldness driving it. Now there is the breath of ice and frost dancing...

13 Songs for Samhain

Last updated on: October 29, 2010 at 10:22 pm By Star Foster

Seems strange that we began the 13 Songs series with Beltane and here it is already Samhain. What an important holiday, and an important milestone for us here on Pantheon. We’ve spent seven months together as of Samhain, the entire Goddess half of the year. I hope the God half proves as interesting and rewarding. I thought I would do something a bit different this time. Instead of 13 random songs to fit the season, I attempted to put together... Read more
