Tuesday November 4th is a time to vote for change. We simply can not afford to be complacent this year. We've seen what the last 8 years have brought us and it is way past time to clean house in Washington. Vote Democratic this year and send a message loud and clear....you haven't done your job and now you are being replaced. I would give the same message to the next administration. Put the people first or be replaced by someone who will.

Editor's Thoughts

 

Imajicka, editor

Diversity or Conformity

Boudica and I have been publishing The Wiccan/Pagan Times for almost 10 years now. It was started back in Bucks County Pennsylvania and has been with us through all of the intervening years and is now published from our rural home in Ohio. We will be celebrating the 10 anniversary of The Wiccan/Pagan Times next March and as I was thinking about the journey to this point the thing that struck me about this path and many of the other paths that are availalble to a spiritual seeker is the diversity that exists within the ranks of those who call themselves Wiccan or Pagan.

Embracing the Feminine Consciousness
by Rev. Karen Tate

One thing is certain - change is inevitable and it occurs when enough people will it, after a profound event, or when circumstances collide that usher in transitions or new beginnings.  Some people say the concept of Goddess, whether that be a deity, archetype or ideal for cultural and social change, is an idea whose time has come and gone.  It is little more than a feminist fantasy and discredited spirituality.  Millions would disagree and state mainstreaming Goddess Spirituality, or ideals of the Feminine Consciousness, spiritually, culturally and politically, is an idea that is flowering and finding its way back within mainstream life across continents and cultures.

TWPT's Earth Magic

This month Jesse's new article is entitled
Pitfalls on the Magical or Spiritual Path.   

Otherwise benign New Spiritual practices can suffer from some of the same pitfalls as conventional organized religion.  Fortunately, once we’re aware of these diversions we can make the informed choices that reunite us with the inspirited world, rather than contribute to our estrangement.   

In my life of pilgrimage the voices of the earthen Anima have repeatedly contradicted what I’ve read, was taught, once thought, and so badly wanted to believe... Thus as I became a teacher myself, I deferred again and again— not to presumed authorities or established traditions, but to the actual Source of every real truth they contain.  Our realization of wholeness/holiness begins not in contemplation or conclusion but in a great listening.  It begins in a vulnerable condition of openness, with fierce focus, gentle humility, and the overwhelming gratitude that makes us worthy of such gifts.
