Guilty as charged.
Yes, I do occasionally post on non-pagan topics—Justin Trudeau's butt, for example.
(But is Justin Trudeau's butt a non-pagan topic? ”If you want to understand the gods,” said Socrates, “look at excellence.” ) Yes, I do occasionally get grief about it, mainly from myself.
Please find attached my pathetic collection of excuses, many of them mutually-contradictory.
You can draw your own conclusions.
Just because it doesn't have a pentagram on it, doesn't mean it isn't pagan.
I like to think that I'm writing about the Deep Paganism. Just because it doesn't look pagan on the surface, doesn't necessarily mean that there's no pagan there.
To the pagan, all things are pagan.
Sunsets, recycling, milk. Stupas, church architecture, the Qur'an. Beads, shoveling snow, men's bodies.
To the pagan eye, there's pagan everywhere.
Maintaining a healthy paganism means having outside interests.
To the Deeply Pagan, our paganism touches on everything that we do, think, and say.
Still, the healthiest relationships are always the ones in which all parties involved keep up their outside interests.
I may be a Paganism Bore, but so long as I can maintain interest in at least some non-pagan topics, I'm not completely hopeless.
Well, so I like to tell myself. You be the judge.
It's a test.
Aha! You think this is non-pagan? Look more deeply, my friend!
Everybody needs a break now and then.
