A Pagan Allegory

Posted by on in Culture

Lauren and I once went to a party dressed as Mods. We looked like this...

Now I know what you're thinking...if, like me, you know anything about the history of fashion, you're thinking "Mod?? Kenny Klein you moron...that's John Travolta and Karen Lynn Gorney, and they're DISCO!! That was a movie about DISCO"

See, I know that. Here is what Mod looks like...

"Oh yea," you're saying. "Now I totally see the difference!!"

(Unless you're thinking "well if John Travolta says he's Mod, that makes him Mod!").

Of course I was young, but I was around for Mod (the first time). By the time I was old enough to be fashionable, Mod had come back again, as Punk...

Of course, you might think THIS is Punk. They were, after all, around at the same time:

I know what you're saying. "Well if those people want to be Punk, then that makes them Punk." Of course it does... but still...

See what I mean?

It was just around this time in my life that I became Pagan...

NO WAIT!!!! I mean, Pagan...

Whoa, that's better! And started to worship the Old Gods

Rather than the old Gods...

and I began to go to events like these...

And these...

NO WAIT!! I mean...these...

and even these...

But, what with being Pagan and all, I avoid these...

And this is why you should never eat crackers in bed!

(Written with a wry, humorous grin. Thanks to all of the artists whose work I totally stole off the Internet).

Kenny Klein is a Pagan musician, author and presenter. A virtuoso fiddler and skilled songwriter, he was one of the very first Pagan musicians to travel a circuit of festivals. He currently has a dozen CDs of music available that range in style from British to Blues. His newest CDs explore Pagan music in the styles of his home town of New Orleans: Bluegrass, Jugband, Cajun and Blues. Kenny is the author of Through The Faerie Glass and Fairy Tale Rituals (both Llewellyn), The Flowering Rod: Men and Their Role In Paganism (Immanion), and a new collection of poetry entitled Verses On Saint Marks Place (Siento Sordida). Kenny tours about half the year, performing and presenting at festivals and other Pagan venues, and plays fiddle in New Orleans the other half. He does this while writing books, and keeping a second blog about street life in New Orleans.
