  • Paganism Is a Group of Religions That Includes, Wiccans, Druids, Heathens and Others.1 They Share a Common Reverence for the Earth
    PaganPaganiiiissssmmmm Paganism is a group of religions that includes, Wiccans, Druids, Heathens and others.1 They share a common reverence for the Earth. Some see it as a living system to be taken care of; some see it as a living deity to be worshiped; some see it as Mother-Earth who provides and cares for her children; some see it as a combination of all three. Most strands of Paganism are rooted in European folklore, though some take their inspiration from North American, African, or other cultures. All claim to predate Christianity. It is estimated that there are over 250,000 Pagans in the British Isles today. God Pagans worship the divine in many different forms, both male and female. The most important and widely recognised are the God and Goddess (or Gods and Goddesses) whose annual cycle of giving birth and dying defines the Pagan year. Pagans can be pantheists, polytheists, duotheists, or monists. Most acknowledge the existence of Nature spirits — river spirits, dryads, elves, pixies, fairies, gnomes, goblins and trolls — and ancestral spirits and often engage with them in prayer. Some do not believe in deities at all but simply revere Nature. Creation The aim of Pagan ritual is to make contact with the divine in the world that surrounds us. Pagans are deeply aware of the natural world and see the power of the divine in the ongoing cycle of life and death. Pagans are, understandably, concerned about the environment — most try to live so as to minimise harm to it — and about the preservation of ancient sites of worship.

  • The Festival of Beltane
    The festival of Beltane Jennifer Uzzell Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 Beltane is generally celebrated about 1 May, although some Pagans celebrate it at the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, which falls about 5 May. Some Pagans celebrate Beltane when the May blossom (hawthorn) first starts to bloom, which means there might be considerable local variation. It is one of the eight festivals associated with the “wheel of the year”, which was devised in its current form by Ross Nichols and Gerald Gardner in the middle of the 20th century and is followed by many modern Pagans. Beltane means bright fire, or possibly “fire of Bel”. Bel or Belenus (“bright one”) was probably a Celtic fire god. It is also, sometimes, known as Calan Mai. The wheel of the year comprises four solar festivals (all dates are approximate) marking the winter solstice (21 December), the spring (or vernal) equinox (21 March), the summer solstice (21 June), and the autumn equinox (21 September). These are separated by four “fire festivals” that are probably connected to the ancient farming year. They are Imbolc (2 February), Beltane (1 May), Lughnasadh (2 August), and Samhain (2 November, although some Pagans celebrate it on 31 October to coincide with the Christian festival of Halloween.) Some believe that the festivals of Beltane and Samhain were originally the most important, marking the beginning and end of summer, and that they have particular significance to pastoral rather than agricultural societies, meaning that they may date from a time when the early Celtic people, or even the Indo-Europeans, were primarily herders of animals practising transhumance, the moving of livestock from one grazing ground to another in a seasonal cycle.

  • Imbolc and the Season of Increasing Light
    Welcome to Imbolc and the Season of Increasing Light Today we celebrate Imbolc. Some call this day Candlemas. We know this day as Bridget’s day. We honor her today and the women that tend her eternal fires. It is a time when mothers feel life moving inside. It is the time for seeds to be bursting from their shells or pods and begin sending out a shoot that will break through the cold earth to become a seedling. In some Christian services the priest or minister bless throats. The wheel has turned again and we find outsides looking for longer days and warmer times. The weather has turned snowy and sometimes it feels as if spring is a long time away. The days are so short and the cold weather seeps into your bones. Then you notice a tiny white or yellow or even purple head peeking up through the snow and you know spring is just around the corner. Everyone is looking for a place to get warm. This little one paid us a visit the other day in our bathtub. We still are not sure how he got there but he was very thirsty. Since Groundhog Day is also celebrated I included an old English song which explains about his shadow. If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight; If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Go Winter, and come not again. The maple trees in my yard have buds on them along with the hummingbird bushes. This is the quickening moon and in the Celtic calendar, Imbolc occurs during the Luis Ogham.

  • Pagan Spirituality Copy
    Pagan Spirituality When t Voice of t Divine i Female What is Paganism??? From the Latin ‘paganus’ “People of the Earth” Paganism is principally rooted in the old religions of Europe, though some adherents also find great worth in the indigenous beliefs of other countries. Such belief in the sacredness of all things can be found world-wide. Pagans see this as their heritage, and retain the beliefs and values of their ancestors in forms adapted to suit modern life. Let’s put this in a little context - it began as something ascribed by the Roman military to indicate civilians, or non-military. From there it was adopted by the general population of Rome and devolved to reflect the non-cosmopolitan - those who followed the old ways, and then, more contemptuously, hillbillies - the unwashed, the uneducated… So - who WERE those people??? Pytagoreans Celebratng te Sunrise 6 BCE Goddess Ancient Mothers Vestonicka Venus Sheela-na-gig Venus of Willendorf 1100 CE 28000 BCE 29000 BCE Venus of Laussel Sleeping Woman of Malta Venus of Lespugue 3300 BCE 20000 BCE 25000 BCE G A I A “Women’s power to create life, apparently out of their own substance, and to respond with fearful and mys9cal blood cycles to the phases of the moon, made them creatures of magic in the eyes of primi9ve men, who knew themselves unable to match such powers. Thus women took on the roles of intermediaries between humanity and spiritual powers. They became seers, priestesses, healers, oracles, lawmakers, judges, and agents of the Great Mother Goddess who gave birth to the universe.”

  • Texas Local Council Covenant of the Goddess Wiccan Holy Days
    Texas Local Council Covenant of the Goddess Wiccan Holy Days ~ also known as Sabbats In the days before the advent of electric lights and artificial time, our ancestors marked the turning of the seasons through their observation of the natural world. The awesome spectacle repeated in the pattern of the changing seasons still touches our lives. In the ages when people worked more closely with nature just to survive, the numinous power of this pattern had supreme recognition. Rituals and festivals evolved to channel these transformations for the good of the community toward a good sowing and harvest and bountiful herds and hunting. One result of this process is our image of the "Wheel of the Year" with its eight spokes -- the four major agricultural and pastoral festivals and the four minor solar festivals of the solstices and equinoxes. DECEMBER 19 - 21* -- WINTER SOLSTICE -- YULE The sun is at its nadir, the year's longest night. We internalize and synthesize the outward-directed activities of the previous summer months. Some covens hold a Festival of Light to commemorate the Goddess as Mother giving birth to the Sun God. Others celebrate the victory of the Lord of Light over the Lord of Darkness as the turning point from which the days will lengthen. The name "Yule" derives from the Norse word for "wheel", and many of our customs (like those of the Christian holiday) derive from Norse and Celtic Pagan practices (the Yule log, the tree, the custom of Wassailing, etc..) FEBRUARY 2 -- IMBOLC (OIMELC) OR BRIGID As the days' lengthening becomes perceptible, many candles are lit to hasten the warming of the earth and emphasize the reviving of life.
