A patchwork of ideas: introducing myself

Last updated on: December 18, 2012 at 11:36 am By Yvonne Aburrow

I have been a Pagan since 1985, when I realised that there is no external deity outside the universe, controlling it - how could there be when there was so much wrong with the world?I have been a Pagan since 1985, when I realised that there is no external deity outside the universe, controlling it - how could there be when there was so much wrong with the world? I decided that sexuality and the body are sacred. I realised that Nature is full of divinity. And I realised that if the world is going to get any better, it's up to us to roll up our sleeves and do the work ourselves, not wait for some deity or deities to do it for us.

Human Flesh: Beginning a Pagan Theology

Last updated on: March 23, 2016 at 1:21 pm By Christine Kraemer

Most theologies begin with considering the nature of divinity, with the nature of humanity as a secondary concern. I like the idea that a Pagan theology should begin with the human, with the very flesh I’m using to write these words. Read more

Opening a Pagan Theological Dialogue

Last updated on: December 12, 2012 at 6:50 pm By Christine Kraemer

Introducing Myself

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 10:42 am By Christine Kraemer

First, the blog, now, a bit about the author! I have what is being called an “alternative academic career” (Google for #alt-ac — it’s not just a career choice, it’s a hashtag!). I went to grad school wanting to be a professor and thinking that an academic career would also allow me to have another life: that I’d be able to write books, have a family, serve as a leader in my religious community, that sort of thing. About halfway through... Read more

Introducing “Sermons from the Mound”

Last updated on: December 27, 2014 at 12:45 pm By Christine Kraemer

In the summer of 2011, I visited the Irish passage tombs at Knowth and Newgrange. These enormous construction projects are over five thousand years old, older even than the Egyptian pyramids, and they most likely took several generations to build. Each tomb is a mound of earth supported by massive stones. In the largest mounds, a passage penetrating the side leads to an inner chamber, where the cremains of the dead were once laid. Mysteriously, around four thousand years ago,... Read more
