  • The Light That Shines in the Darkness Rev. Bruce Taylor December 20, 2020
    Page 1 of 5 The Light That Shines in the Darkness Rev. Bruce Taylor December 20, 2020 I remember the Christmas of my childhood: a time of anticipation, looking forward to the gifts on Christmas morning; the story of baby Jesus born in Bethlehem; baby Jesus as a gift. I remember music: Christmas carols sung on cold clear nights; Christmas lights like stars shining out against a pure dark sky. Music coming out of the silence, and always leading back to silence. Stillness. It was an experience that repeated year after year on the clock of the seasons, the hour hand approaching midnight once again. The seasons circled again as I grew and unfolded, my capacities growing wider. The circle of time became a spiral moving out, ever forward, ever wider. I opened out from the seeds of the Christian tradition I was raised in. I gained perspective. Half-in, half-out of that tradition I could reflect, reconnect. This was the beginning of my shift towards Unitarian Universalism. It gave me questions. Where does Christmas come from? Whence the rituals? Whence the hope for a new heaven and a new Earth? It gave me options. Hearing the story of the Earth as a living being. A spiritual being. I tentatively explored the Pagan outlook not as an oddity from the past but as a living, Earth-centered tradition. I saw there is a “there” there, through my reading of Margot Adler, through the teaching and example of Starhawk. I affirmed the connection between ancient spiritualties and my own love of the woods and mountains; the urge to address Mother Earth as “thou”.

  • 2006 AEN Conference Special Issue
    SPECIAL ISSUE ––– 2006 AEN CONFERENCE VOLUME V ISSUE 1 2010 ISSN: 1833-878X Pages 27-34 Olivia Caputo Water and Stone: The Re-Enactment of the Masculine in the Pagan ‘Reclaiming’ Tradition ABSTRACT This paper seeks to explore models of masculinity present within the contemporary spiritual community of the Reclaiming Collective in San Francisco, United States of America. The Reclaiming Collective is part of the wider contemporary Goddess spirituality movement, a movement which promotes the importance of changing patriarchal images of the divine through focus on the Goddess. Through an analysis of both the writings of Starhawk, the most read and published member of the collective, and the discussions and articles with the collective's long-running journal Reclaiming Quarterly this paper reveals the conflict between patriarchal and more radical models of masculinity. It concludes that the fluidity of gender promoted within the Reclaiming Collective stimulates members to understand masculinity as positive, anti-sexist and multifaceted. BIOGRAPHY Olivia Caputo is a PhD candidate at The University of Queensland's School of History Philosophy Religion and Classics. Her research involves critique of gender theory in the writing of two pioneers of the feminist Goddess movement, Carol P. Christ and Starhawk. Olivia has travelled to both the U. S. and the U. K. to gather material about contemporary Goddess communities such as the Reclaiming Collective in San Francisco and the Priestesses of Avalon in Glastonbury. She has presented papers at the Alternative 27 Expressions of the Numinous conference in 2006 and at the Association for Research on Mothering conference in 2007. Her other research interests include community radio, sustainable agriculture and the alternative D.

  • Earth-Centered Religions
    An Introduction To Earth-Centered Religions History Overview Earth-centered or Pagan religious traditions together constitute a major world religion—but with many unique branches. Paganism has many branches due largely to the individualized ecosystems, pantheon and mythology of the various cultures from which they have emerged. The branches often share their roots in ancient Goddess traditions. They include the pagan and earth-centered religions practiced before the introduction of Christianity as well as a growing and vibrant movement of the 21st Century. Examples of Pagan traditions include: Asatr (based upon pre-Christian Norse religion and mythology); Greek (based upon pre-Christian Greek religion and mythology); Goddess worship (drawing upon different cultures and dating back more than 35,000 years); Druidism (based upon pre-Christian Celtic religions); and, Wicca (reconstructed from pre-Christian Western European religions). Most of the Earth-Centered traditions went underground or vanished during the centuries-long period of Christianization wherein many Pagan holidays and traditions were absorbed into the Christian calendar and its practices. As an example, the Pagan holiday of Eastre celebrated the Goddess of Spring and the idea of fertility (through the symbolism of eggs and rabbits). Eastre became Easter, the Celebration of the Risen Christ. After decades of dormancy, the modern Pagan movement began emerging in the 1950’s. It matured in the context of the ecological, civil rights and womenʼs movements. This emergence resulted in strong ties between Paganism and the social justice and environmental move-ments. Wiccan author and activist Starhawk is a popular articulator of the Pagan tradition. Today Pagan celebrations such as The Burning Man Festival and fictional Wiccan characters such as Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer have brought Pagan expression into mainstream pop- culture at a time when the tradition is growing in numbers and in visibility.

On Witches, Shrooms, and Sourdough: A Critical Reimagining of the White Settler Relationship to Land By Abby Maxwell1 Abstract Through an exploration of witches, mycelium, and fermentation, this research seeks to forward a critically anti-colonial project of reimagining the white settler relationship to land. The centuries-old socio-ecological crises being unveiled today are secondary only to the reigning logic- project of whiteness, which operates through gendered and racialized erasure, displacement, and subjugation, always toward the further spreading of whiteness. To unlearn this logic, white settlers must attune to the pulse of another substrate; unearth other stories as a means of unlearning and reorienting ourselves.

  • A Feminist Perspective on Rhetorical Theory: Tbward a Clarification of Boundaries
    Western Journal of Communication, 56 (Fall 1992), 330-349 A Feminist Perspective on Rhetorical Theory: Tbward a Clarification of Boundaries SONJA K. FOSS and CINDY L. GRIFFIN In this essay, Kenneth Burke's rhetorical theory, as an exemplar of a mainstream rhe- torical theory, is juxtaposed with that of Starhawk, as an exemplar of a feminist rhetori- cal theory, to suggest ways in which the patriarchal bias of many rhetorical theories limits our understanding of rhetoric. The essay begins with a formulation of Starhawk's rhetor- ical theory, which describes a rhetoric of inherent value and a rhetoric of domination. Starhawk's notions of the context for rhetoric, the nature of the rhetor, and the primary rhetorical forms are identified for each rhetorical system. Starhawk's notions then are contrasted with major rhetorical concepts developed by Burke. The essay concludes with suggestions for boundaries that circumscribe the rhetorical theories of both Burke and Starhawk. CHOLARS OF RHETORIC, because they seek to discover how and to Swhat degree our rhetoric constructs our worlds, are constantly reminded of the truism that theories provide particular perspectives on the data they organize and present. But recognition that a theory is sim- ply one view of a phenomenon is not always translated into an exami- nation of our theories to discover their particular biases. Those theories that have come to us from our discipline's origins in classical Greece and Rome or from theorists on whose work significant aspects of our discipline have been built seem particularly immune to such critical scrutiny. While scholEirs may quibble with their various features, rarely Eire the particular perspectives and consequent boundaries identified in such theories.

Williams, Harvard University “The Ink of the Scholar is worth more than the Blood of the Martyr" -Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) © Rashid S. Njai All rights reserved 2008 DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to all those who have come before me and all those who will hopefully follow in the pursuit of physical, mental and spiritual freedom. This is a tribute to the countless numbers of individuals who died seemingly in vain, but are not forgotten by those of us who remember their struggle for freedom. I remember the struggles you encountered. I attempt everyday to be mindful in my life of the choice you made to fight for your freedom, in whatever way you could. I offer this humble attempt at trying to make some sense of where our people are now, because of your sacrifices. I appreciate what you were able to persevere and overcome so that I could be here and make my attempt at freedom. I have met others who acknowledge your struggles and who similarly hold deeply a responsibility to attempt to bear the fruit of your labors. I continue to seek refuge with others who intend to work the soil of our people in order to reap what you have sowed for our future.
