An Indictment of my Pagan Elders

Last updated on: July 19, 2011 at 3:11 pm By Star Foster

PETER DYBING: “Elders please understand that when you bring up these issues many of us tune out and begin to give less credence to your words. We do not want to believe that we will one day arrive at a place were we also are encumbered with grudges, petty complaints and the inability to move beyond the past conflicts in our community.

I’m not like a lot of photographers, who take pictures without so much as talking to the people they document. I’ve shared in plates of communal offerings, danced with the priests [Hougans] and the priestesses (Mambos), and I’ve downed my fair share of special religious elixirs with them.... Read more
