Maps and signposts on the journey

Last updated on: January 6, 2013 at 2:13 pm By Yvonne Aburrow

When I read writers from other religious traditions, I am constantly thinking, how do I relate this to my Pagan/Wiccan values, theology, philosophy? If you don't know what your values, theology, and philosophy are, how do you know how to incorporate ideas from another tradition, or reject them if they don't fit? Read more

Theology Is Not Religious Studies

Last updated on: December 27, 2014 at 1:02 pm By Christine Kraemer

Theology can and should involve logic. Ultimately, however, logic is only a means: theology is religious conviction supported and shaped by reason. Religious studies, on the other hand, must always let reason win. Read more

Eros and Psyche

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:30 pm By Yvonne Aburrow

Change

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:31 pm By Yvonne Aburrow

My favourite times of year are the transitional seasons of spring and autumn, when everything is changing rapidly.

A gift for a gift: a Pagan ethic of reciprocity

Last updated on: December 26, 2014 at 12:31 pm By Yvonne Aburrow

The exchange of gifts is a way of establishing relationship. In gift economies, gifts are given without any formal agreement as to when the favour will be returned; however, the ethic of reciprocity is so strong that the gift creates an obligation to return the gift or favour, and in this way, an ongoing relationship is created.
