The Moon and the Sea

Last updated on: May 9, 2016 at 5:28 pm By Yvonne Aburrow

I have always had a bit of a thing about the Moon, and everything associated with the lunar side of life: poetry, intuition, silver, water, dreams, and stars. Read more

Finding a Compromise: Keeping Places

Last updated on: May 6, 2016 at 9:37 am By Yvonne Aburrow

Respect For the Dead In any discussion of what to do with human remains, I think we should start from the assumption that almost everyone respects the dead. But it is how that respect is expressed that is currently a source of conflict. Some have argued that respect can only be expressed by not disturbing the dead; or if they are disturbed by accident or because of development work, then they must be reburied as soon as possible. This is,... Read more

Respect, Memory, and Human Remains

Last updated on: May 9, 2016 at 4:09 pm By Yvonne Aburrow

In 2008, I founded a group, Pagans for Archaeology. I did that because I believe that without archaeology, we would know considerably less about ancient pagans and polytheists than we do today. I even wonder if the Pagan revival would have happened the same way without input from archaeological research. The Pagans for Archaeology Facebook page now has around 15,000 likes - so even if many of those people haven't read the "manifesto" of the group, that shows a very big interest in archaeology among Pagans.

Cultural Appropriation and Racism

Last updated on: May 4, 2016 at 4:36 am By Yvonne Aburrow

In my last post on cultural appropriation (Cultural Appropriation has nothing to do with "Race"), I made the point that the issue is about culture, not genetics and not "race". People are part of a culture if they have been brought up in and immersed in that culture - it has nothing to do with their genetic background. In this post, I show that cultural appropriation is an extension of colonialism and racism. Read more

Plain Speaking on Polytheism

Last updated on: April 25, 2016 at 11:59 am By Yvonne Aburrow

It's good to have descriptions of what a word means, so that labels are mutually comprehensible. It's also quite nice when the meaning of a word bears some vague resemblance to its etymology. But there's a conflict between creating a meaning that is inclusive enough to include the majority of people who want to identify as that label, and making a word completely meaningless. Read more
