Pagan, But Not What You’re Assuming

Last updated on: December 19, 2016 at 12:48 am   By Rua Lupa

Many continue the conversation assuming that I believe in supernatural beings, like spirits in the rocks, air, rivers, etc. and deities; that the Earth, Moon, Sun, Stars, are beings that care about you; that I follow the Celtic 'Wheel of the Year'; practice magic/majick; read tarot/divination cards; and perform ceremonies that involve enchanting a circle, the elements in specific directions, and going clockwise.

Want To Notice Nature More? Here’s How!

Last updated on: June 29, 2016 at 1:21 am   By Lupa Greenwolf

I was privileged to be a guest of honor at this year’s Pagan Spirit Gathering. It was my first PSG, and I thoroughly enjoyed being around hundreds of my fellow pagans in a beautiful rural setting. I also took the opportunity to put on my naturalist hat and see what flora, fauna, fungi and other natural phenomena I could identify. Every morning at ten was the Morning Meeting, wherein PSG attendees would gather and listen to announcements from the event... Read more

Camping Season Is Upon Us – Rua’s SCA Camping List

Last updated on: December 18, 2016 at 4:47 pm   By Rua Lupa

Anybody who knows me knows that I am a leech for learning skills, especially pre-industrial skills, so this is definitely an event for me. That is actually why I joined the SCA - to learn the skills that are not resource intensive in my pursuit of Ehoah (complete harmony within Nature). It has helped me in this quest so well that I have a hard time conceiving of not being a SCAdian and be a Saegoah (Seeker of Ehoah). Read more
