Paganism, Magic, and the Control Of Nature

"Animistic goddess religions succumbed under the onslaughts of patriarchy, monotheism and science. The world urgently needs eco-centered, not ego-centered, religions, blending reverence for nature with knowledge of its complexity. Paganism, if it treats magic as an expression of wonder and not a means of control, could be one of these religions." http://trumpeter.athabascau.ca/index.php/trumpet/article/view/169/205

Come join the conversation on December 3, 2017, 5 PM at 1084 Whipple Court in Lexington, Kentucky. 

Please share this on your social media or blog, especially if you live nearby.  We want to hear from a variety of viewpoints from Pagans and other humans so that we may learn from one another and, hopefully, get back on track to loving our planet and helping it thrive.

Bring a dish for the potluck if you are able. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Straight Talk about the Pagan Identity Crisis

"There are valuable things to be gained from pursuing respectability: Respectability means being able to share our beliefs with our friends and neighbors openly — not just on the Internet. Respectability means our children can be raised Pagan openly, without fear of interference by well-intentioned, but misinformed social workers and courts. Respectability means being able to be openly Pagan in the workplace. Respectability means being a greater part of the inter-faith movement. Respectability means having more influence in theological studies. Respectability means having greater influence on critical social and political issues that concern us, including the environment, women's rights, minority rights, animal rights, and so on. Respectability means power … power to bring about change according to our collective will. And that is a kind of magic that all Pagans should be interested in."

Open discussion for next GSSC fellowship, Dec. 3rd

For a little something different, Garden Source Spiritual Center will have an open discussion in December. 

Whether science is your religion, or religion is your science, all humans have one thing in common... we live on planet Earth. So, at what point did humans, specifically Pagans, become disconnected from the concept of Earth stewardship and loving Our Mother? Living simply so that others may simply live?
