Deity is continually being discovered, rediscovered, or created. I don't think there are limits to the divine, or how you as a Pagan worship that divine. The gods cast their spell on me long ago. For those wishing to get caught up in their siren song, I hope they do the same to you. Read more
Need a little extra reading this weekend? We've got you covered with links to great articles on the Jesus/Pagan conundrum, polyamory, stone age penises, and lots of other stuff. Oh, and there will be pictures of my cats. How can you beat that? Read more
Patheos is currently running a "blogger challenge" asking their diverse stable of writers to reflect on "Why They are What They Are" in 200 words or less. This is my little contribution. Read more
