In today's Fiery Tuesday roundup, we concentrate on activism in today's Pagan movement. Several intersecting articles: black Pagans talk about Black History month; PCon and "Bringing Race to the Table;" #Black Lives Matter; the myth of "making your own reality;" Pagan Environmental Network.
February was Black History month, and Wild Hunt contributor Crystal Blanton offers the perspective of a number of black Pagans its significance.
People are still unpacking the issues of racism at Pantheacon. P Lupus offers a modest evaluation and links to the podcast of the "Bringing Race to the Table" panel discussion from the conference in this post.
Today's Watery Wednesday news concentrates on Community News. We've got: an introduction to Pantheacon, what is CUUPS?, Mary Kay Lundmark passes; Manannan Mac Lir statue located, a Wandering Witch giveaway.
Are you one of the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Pagans who did not attend Pantheacon? If so, the Wild Hunt has a helpful post to bring you up to speed. "What is Pantheacon?"
Its Faithful Friday here at the Beagle, and we have stories of faith from all religions. Interfaith work, an Indian temple, Jews & Arabs as neighbors, rewilding Paganism and everything you didn't want to know (but should) about "Islamic State."
Is interfaith work -- between Pagans and non-Pagans -- important work or just a distraction? Ryn Fox at the Wild Hunt discusses the issues.
