Eco-spirituality in practice

Last updated on: March 23, 2016 at 1:20 pm   By Yvonne Aburrow

Eco-spirituality involves relating to your environment. It is a non-violent spirituality and spiritual activism. One form of it is known as deep ecology. It also involves being sustainable, and working with Nature, not against it. Read more

I have reached the conclusion that one cannot be fully a member of two traditions at once. You can partially participate in more than one tradition, and you might incorporate a practice from another tradition into your own. But in my experience, you will almost inevitably end up giving precedence to one or the other of your paths. Read more

Dual-faith practice (part 4 of 4)

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 11:18 pm   By Yvonne Aburrow

Much of the criticism of dual-faith practice seems to revolve around the issue of authority, and whether this is derived from the individual, the group, the tradition, or the Divine. Read more

Dual-faith practice (part 3 of 4)

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:26 pm   By Yvonne Aburrow

The issue of membership and identity is important in any discussion of a dual or multi-faith practice. A person may identify with a group, but if the membership requirements of that group are that its members do not belong to other groups perceived to be in conflict with its values or beliefs, can that person be said to be a member of the group? Read more

Dual-faith practice (part 2 of 4)

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:26 pm   By Yvonne Aburrow

'Subjective-life' spirituality is often characterised as a pick-and-mix approach, whereas practitioners of dual faith appear to desire fidelity to the traditions being followed. Clearly, in feeling a vocation to follow both faiths, such practitioners are responding to a subjective inner feeling, but trying to do so within the framework of a tradition. Read more

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:27 pm   By Yvonne Aburrow

An increasing number of people are beginning to identify themselves as belonging to more than one spiritual tradition – not merely in the sense of selecting attractive ideas from each tradition, but trying to be faithful to the ethos of both traditions. Is it possible to combine two traditions? Read more

Three Legs on the Pagan Cauldron, or Must Pagans Be Polytheists?

Last updated on: December 27, 2014 at 1:03 pm   By Christine Kraemer

In 2013, I think the three legs of the contemporary Pagan cauldron are these: polytheism, Goddess worship, and earth-based spirituality. These three focuses for belief and practice have all made a huge impact on what we think of as Paganism. Read more

Pagan sacred texts

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:28 pm   By Yvonne Aburrow

A fluid and interactive relationship with sacred texts is an important feature of contemporary Pagan traditions. We have all seen the dangers of people taking texts literally -- let's hope Pagans don't slide down the same slippery slope. Read more
