A NeoPagan Cosmytheology by Bran th' Blessed [1,122 reads]

The NeoPagan religions are often identified as being focused on practice more than theory, on ritual more than belief, on an inclusive eclecticism more than an authoritarian dogma. This does not mean that we are or should be without a reasoned theology that addresses our belief, or lack of belief, in deity. In fact, there are certain shared beliefs and characteristics common to NeoPagan religions in general, even if NeoPagans are reluctant to require adherence to all of them.Deity Is InclusiveThe most obvious shared belief of all NeoPagan religions is and must be that de...

The Top 5 Things Your Local Witch Wants You to Know by Holly Risingstar [2,658 reads]

I am a fairly ordinary woman. I’m in my early thirties; I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling Services; I work with families in crisis. I’ve got two kids, a husband, and family nearby; I love the arts, shopping, beadwork, travel, and photography. I’m addicted to the Grey’s Anatomy and Heroes. I drive a black Honda that has seen better days. I wish gas prices would go down. I’m in desperate need of a haircut.Oh, and did I mention, I’m a witch? No, really.I was born into a nominally Jewish family and had five years’ worth of Hebrew school growing up, but it never felt ri... [more]

A Time for Change by Moon Panther [Wvox Sponsor] [1,014 reads]

"There are many paths to the mountain, none of which are wrong, simply different" What do these words mean to you? Is this something you can understand? Lets us all take a few moments and really think about what this means. These are the words I live by and for those who have been with me since the inception of Pagans United, a statement that has been heard from me on many occasions. This morning I had the distinct pleasure, and yes I say pleasure, of hearing Rev. Jeremiah Wright give a speech followed by a Q and A session. He too believes in these words, "Different does not me... [more]

  • Effective Public Worship Is Good Theater by Janice Van Cleve [357 reads]

    Blending the ideas of theater and ritual may at first sound sacrilegious. However, there is plenty of historical basis for such a blending. The Greeks used theater performances to promote their new patriarchal religion. The medieval church in Europe enacted plays on cathedral steps to teach Christia... [more]

  • Planning and Performing Handfastings by Iris Firemoon [Wvox Sponsor] [881 reads]

    Handfastings are pagan wedding ceremonies, in which typically the couple's hands are tied together to symbolize the joining of two people, or specifically, "tying the knot".
