  • US Pagans and Indigenous Americans: Land and Identity
    religions Article US Pagans and Indigenous Americans: Land and Identity Lisa A. McLoughlin Independent Scholar, Northfield, MA 01360, USA; [email protected] Received: 2 January 2019; Accepted: 27 February 2019; Published: 1 March 2019 Abstract: In contrast to many European Pagan communities, ancestors and traditional cultural knowledge of Pagans in the United States of America (US Pagans) are rooted in places we no longer reside. Written from a US Pagan perspective, for an audience of Indigenous Americans, Pagans, and secondarily scholars of religion, this paper frames US Paganisms as bipartite with traditional and experiential knowledge; explores how being transplanted from ancestral homelands affects US Pagans’ relationship to the land we are on, to the Indigenous people of that land, and any contribution these may make to the larger discussion of indigeneity; and works to dispel common myths about US Pagans by offering examples of practices that the author suggests may be respectful to Indigenous American communities, while inviting Indigenous American comments on this assessment. Keywords: US Pagans; Indigenous Americans; identity; land; cultural appropriation; indigeneity 1. Introduction Indigenous American scholar Vine Deloria Jr. (Deloria 2003, pp. 292–93) contends: “That a fundamental element of religion is an intimate relationship with the land on which the religion is practiced should be a major premise of future theological concern.” Reading of Indigenous American and Pagan literatures1 indicates that both communities, beyond simply valuing their relationship with the land, consider it as part of their own identity. As for example, in this 1912 Indigenous American quote: “The soil you see is not ordinary soil—it is the dust of the blood, the flesh, and the bones of our ancestors.

  • Lost Knowledge of the Imagination
    Praise for Gary Lachman “The Lost Knowledge of the Imagination rejoins the parted Red Sea of modern intellect, demonstrating how rationalism and esotericism are not divided forces but necessary complements and parts of a whole in the human wish for understanding. More still, he elevates the relevancy of spiritual philosophies that we are apt to short-shrift, from Crowley to positive thinking, and issues a warning: If thoughts are causative, it is all the more vital that we, the thinkers, know ourselves.” Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life “A cracking author.” Lynn Picknett, Magonia Review of Books “Lachman is an easy to read author yet has a near encyclopaedic knowledge of esotericism and is hence able to offer many different perspectives on the subject at hand.” Living Traditions magazine “Lachman’s sympathetic, but not uncritical, account of [Rudolf Steiner’s] life is to be recommended to anyone who wishes to be better informed about this gifted and remarkable man.” Kevin Tingay, The Christian Parapsychologist “Lachman challenges many contemporary theories by reinserting a sense of the spiritual back into the discussion” Leonard Schlain, author of The Alphabet Versus the Goddess “Lachman’s depth of reading and research are admirable.” Scientific and Medical Network Review For Kathleen Raine (1908-2003), who showed the way Contents Title Page Dedication Acknowledgments Chapter One: A Different Kind of Knowing Chapter Two: A Look Inside the World Chapter Three: The Knower and the Known Chapter Four: The Way Within Chapter Five: The Learning of the Imagination Chapter Six: The Responsible Imagination Further Reading Also by Gary Lachman Copyright Acknowledgments My thanks go to my editor Christopher Moore for taking on the project and to the staff of the British Library where most of the research was done.

  • Indigo Health Voyages Kambo After Care Kambo Aftercare Is an Essential Part of the Process While Working with These Powerful Peptides
    Indigo Health Voyages Kambo After Care Kambo aftercare is an essential part of the process while working with these powerful peptides. Along the years I have picked up various healing modalities that work in a strong synergistic manner with kambo. Using some of these practices can help with aiding and adding to the longevity of benefits from the kambo treatments. Kambo treatments are best worked with 3-5 treatments over a few months span. A single maintenance treatment is very effective every 2-6 months, depending on your internal process and calling to the treatments. Each maintenance treatment holds great value, building off your previous hard work with the frog. The peptides and healing energy of the frog stay in the system for an impressive longevity. Here is a short and simple guideline for certain herbs, supplements, exercises, and a kambo diet that I highly recommend. Most of these suggestions are very affordable. Please do further research on these notes, seeing what resonates with your own current practices and nutrition. Please reach out to myself if you have any questions with this guideline and your path with kambo aftercare. - REBOUNDING EXERCISE - (Mini Trampoline or Jump Rope) Kambo works with strengthening the lymphatic system. Draining and pumping your lymph nodes is an essential exercise to practice throughout the week after Kambo for optimal health, preferably 20 min a day if possible. For further detail, research Dr. C. Samuel West, Nobel Prize nominee and expert in lymphology. - MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)- Organic sulfur to aid with detoxification. Preferably buy in bulk loose form for the best cost effective rate and take via tablespoon.

  • Wayward Dark Tarot Book.Pdf
    Wayward Dark Tarot “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung In the imagery of the Wayward Dark Tarot are the archetypes and symbolism of Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot deck, mirrored and modified into a chthonic afterlife evoking the beautiful and the macabre. Familiarity with the Thoth Tarot will give you additional insight (and likely, additional critiques) of the Wayward Dark Tarot. Yet it should read on its own strengths as well. As it may be considered a fun house mirror of the Thoth deck, it is the same for your own inner thoughts and imagination. Look to the cards and you might discover a path to your subconscious paved through the archetypes of the Tarot. “​Let the inner god that is in each one of us speak. The temple is your body, and the priest is your heart: it is from here that every awareness must begin.” -Alejandro Jodorowsky There are many ways to use a Tarot Deck. It can be for card games like tarocchini, occult purposes like divination, and in pursuing improvement through self-reflection and self-work. There is no right and wrong way to use your deck, just so long as the way you use it is a way that works for you. This book provides card keywords and meanings for your own clarity. If you have a stronger association with a card that contradicts the meanings given here, then go by your own interpretation. Above all, this book is meant to be a helpful guide, not a dictator.

  • “ANYTHING but WHITE”: EXCAVATING the STORY of NORTHEASTERN COLONOWARE a Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Grad
    “ANYTHING BUT WHITE”: EXCAVATING THE STORY OF NORTHEASTERN COLONOWARE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Keri J. Sansevere May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Paul Farnsworth, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Patricia Hansell, Department of Anthropology Seth Bruggeman, Department of History Richard Veit, External Member, Monmouth University, Department of History and Anthropology © Copyright 2018 by Keri J. Sansevere All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The study of historic-period pottery cuts across many disciplines (e.g., historical archaeology, material culture studies, American studies, art history, decorative arts, fine arts). Studies of historic pottery with provenience from the United States are largely centered on fine-bodied wares, such as porcelain, white salt-glazed stoneware, creamware, pearlware, whiteware, ironstone (or white granite), and kaolin smoking pipes. These wares share the common attribute of whiteness: white paste and painted, slipped, or printed decoration that typically incorporate the color white into its motif. Disenfranchised groups had limited direct-market access to these wares due to its high value (Miller 1980, 1991). White pottery was disproportionately consumed by White people until the nineteenth century. This dissertation examines colonoware—an earth-toned, non-white, polythetic kind of coarse earthenware. Archaeologists commonly encounter colonoware in plantation contexts and believe
