Now that traditionally minority groups in the USA are becoming equal in population and probably will become the new majority, the racist propaganda has increased and has gone to the point of being politically acceptable rhetoric.

The Scent of Winter

Last updated on: January 17, 2017 at 3:23 pm   By Lupa Greenwolf

One of my strongest memories of winter from childhood is what it smelled like. Growing up in Missouri, our winters were often bitterly cold–temperatures routinely dipped into the single digits–and so dry that I spent months with chapped lips. I remember calf-deep layers of snow on the yard, fluffy powder covered in a thin ice crust that crunched when I stepped on it with my hand-me-down moon boots. I remember the yellow sun shining down from a brilliantly blue clear... Read more

Connecting to Nature in Human-Centered Places

Last updated on: December 19, 2016 at 12:32 am   By Lupa Greenwolf

Over the weekend I answered a query on Tumblr from a pagan feeling disconnected from nature while living on their college campus. I figured there might be other folks facing the same challenge, whether that’s on a campus, or working every day in an office building, or otherwise unable to get out into more wilderness areas. I definitely get that it’s tougher to feel connected to the rest of nature when you’re in such a human-dominated space. You won’t get... Read more

Psych Meds, Self-Care and Paganism

Last updated on: October 25, 2016 at 5:51 pm   By Lupa Greenwolf

Note: This was originally posted on my personal blog at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/psych-meds-self-care-and-paganism/ and reposted by the kind request of my co-blogger, Rua Lupa. Recently my attention was brought to an image making the rounds online. Divided into two halves, the top half shows a forest and the caption “This is an antidepressant.” The bottom half is a stock photo of a bunch of random, unidentified pills and says “This is shit.” The implication is that people with mental illnesses don’t need psychiatric medications;... Read more
