Re: Paganism = Feminism?
Magical principles have mimicked creation & not social gender roles. SpiritTalker, I believe I partially agree with you. As a post by Xiao Rong points out, other creatures on Earth don't necessarily reproduce the way we do, nor do they align with our social construction of gender. However, I be...

Re: Paganism = Feminism?
Bump for this thought-provoking thread on connections between paganism and feminism. To my thinking, many of the influential twentieth-century Goddess-centered texts, including those of one of my favorite authors, Dion Fortune, appear to have clear connections to (so-called) "second wave" ...

Re: Old, destructive energy fighting gender equality
I want to bump this discussion for the excellent perspectives on fighting gender inequality coming from Xiao Rong, firebirdflys, and Kassandra. I'm not sure I should have posted it in this section of the forum, though. I think a dialogue between feminism and paganism is an important one, and recentl...

Re: Not Your Own Works
This poem has really been speaking to my heart lately: Among School Children BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS I I walk through the long schoolroom questioning; A kind old nun in a white hood replies; The children learn to cipher and to sing, To study reading-books and history, To cut and sew, be neat in ever...

These are songs which speak to my heart and soul. They never fail to shift me into harmony with Spirit.

There are so many tarot deck and apps out now, and often each has a different feeling and personality. This is a thread to share general tarot deck and app reviews and impressions. Here is my review for the Mystic Dreamer Tarot iPad app: The Mystic Dreamer Tarot by Barbara Moore and Heidi Darras has...

Re: Feeling engulfed by Christian assumptions in social sett
Hmm. Are you sure it's just about not knowing what to do and how to behave when christians pray at your table? Cause what you're saying sounds to me like you just want to step out of the broom closet and make your family aware of your spiritual identity. If you could elaborate more on the "fee...

Re: Feeling engulfed by Christian assumptions in social sett
These are all very good suggestions. Having my in-laws coming to my house and praying at my table was upsetting because I struggle with feeling repressed by my/his parents' religious expectations in general, and my beliefs are completely ignored and overlooked by them. I wonder if I should come up w...

Being committed
I find myself with greater frequency wanting to "belong" to a specific group, even a defined word, like "Wiccan," but I don't feel completely aligned with any spiritual path, including Wicca. I don't know how I can commit completely to a singular path while believing completely, ...

Feeling engulfed by Christian assumptions in social settings
Last weekend I attended a Catholic wedding, which was the first time I'd been in a Christian service since the last Catholic wedding I attended a couple of years ago. These weddings are complete Masses, with numerous moments when one either answers the priest in kind, sings along, or sits, stands an...

Re: My past life?
That sounds so vivid and emotional. Do you believe it's a past life memory? From what I have read often those memories come to us through our emotions, and we may fill in the sensory details with what we "know" about the time period through movies and books.

Members-only Forums
Hi, Could some of the forums be made members-only? I am thinking of the Member's Nook, Dream Journals, and Member's Books of Shadows. This would afford better privacy for members who don't want personal posts viewed by the general public. In the case of BoS, it would offer better protection to those...

Re: Something is starting to change
I think it's a combination of your increased belief in your abilities and the additional attention you are paying them in your spirituality and divination study.
