Traditionalists: we should embrace our true heritage and cultural roots!

Me: Right on mate!

On September 13, just two days after the terrorist attacks, The #700Club hosts claimed that God smote America because of all the “ #Pagans, Abortionists, #Atheists, #Feminists, #Gays, and #Lesbians, the #ACLU, and #PeopleForTheAmericanWay”.

#Disque du jour, bonjour !

#Artús - Cerc

Gros coup de coeur de la semaine, découvert via la compilation Pagans 50 du label #Pagans. Du #rock #expérimental chanté en #catalan, avec un gros son, un rythmique du tonnerre, des interventions de violons et roue à vielle, ça s'écoute comme on boit du petit lait. Je suis totalement fan de ce disque, dont j'attend ma copie vinyle.

La compilation en question :

(dont je connaissais déjà #DixSeptSaturnes et #3Primates)

A écouter de toute urgence !

My response to David Wolpe's, "The Return of the Pagans" article published by the Atlantic is now up at On Black Wings. Wolpe's piece, regardless of his intent, effectively normalizes Christian Nationalism by distorting the past and present truth on the role of Christianity in the rise of fascism.

This article by Jo Adetunji (editor of The Conversation UK) is an excellent example of how European fairytales and folklore have been used to co-opt Indigenous cultures and spiritualities. Us witches, pagans and magickal practitioners need to be critical when following our spiritual beliefs on colonised land.

I while back I read "Historiola: The Power of Narrative Charms" by Carl Nordblom.

The book takes you through a brief introduction of how narrative charms were used throughout history to cure ailments, for protection, and to solve other issues. Narrative charms take the form of short stories or poems, describing the actions of gods, saints, or other holy figures and how they performed magic or a miracle. They are often categorized thematically or by protagonists.

For a full review here's my blog post:

I'm an ecologist and having a career in that field has made a huge mark on my polytheist practice. I know pagans tend to be a bit crunchy by nature, but my education and training inform the way I see the world and that includes my religious ideology.

I'm not living in ancient or even modern Iceland, or Sweden, or Poland, or Scotland. I tend to focus on local plant and animal life and how they tie into my views on gods related to fertility, the land, and the seasons. Bird migrations inform my shifts in seasonal practice. I see Freyja in my local red-tailed hawks. Óðinn in the common ravens on campus. I know when to expect thunder storms and give to þórr ahead of time, while giving to Freyr during the milder rainy season. When crocus bulbs begin to pop up they tell me we're entering Spring and to thank Mokosz. An Cailleach blows in with the first frost.

One of course doesn't need to be a scientist to be keyed in like this, I know plenty of pagans who are not and are just as keyed in. For me though it's second nature, no pun intended. Having a localized practice brings me closer to the gods in a way that makes sense to me. It also informs how I interact with the land wights, making sure to leave offerings safe for local plants and animals when outdoors. It's brought me into the flow of life around me and I'm at grateful for it.

Should rite aid hold up to their name and aid #pagans in performing #rites? Went there, n'er a single bag of salt peter, nor a single bottle of Florida water.
