  • Many Gods West Presentation List
    Many Gods West Presentation List Anaar Niino Feri and The Mighty Dead This is primarily a lore share workshop. We will begin with an exercise designed to vividly recall an ancestor or recently crossed loved one. I will cover Feri lore regarding our ancestors, the Mighty Dead, and their relationship to the Gods. Tools, such as shrines and spirit jars that help us to connect with our ancestors will be also discussed. This workshop will end with an exercise to discover our own legacy. What will we leave behind on our passing? How will we be regarded as ancestors? Please bring paper and pen and feel free to bring a token of your ancestor to share. Anaar is an initiate of the Anderson Feri tradition and has a Masters degree in Arts and Consciousness. She has spent nearly two decades studying the relationship between Feri and its expression through the Arts. Greatly influenced by the mad poesy of Victor Anderson, she seeks to create works of great mystery and power. Anaar is currently the only known grandmaster of the tradition. Anomalous Thracian Religions of Relation: Place, Hospitality, and Regional Cultus in Modern Polytheism An examination of Relational and Regional Dynamics in Polytheist Religion today, including solitary and organized community cultus. Heavy emphasis will be placed on the importance of established (and shifting, transforming) identity, role, and situational knowledge of place in relation to Place. These will be expressed and explored as the requisite dynamics of Hospitality, as applied to religious practice, pursuit, and identity, referencing the ancient ways but drawn forward for the explicit purpose of authentic living today and for a thousand shifting tomorrows.

  • 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.

Rebecca Short 24 September 2012 Professor Greta Austin The Methodology of Resistance in Contemporary NeoPagan Culture The number of adherents of NeoPaganism is one of the fastest growing, doubling in numbers about every eighteen months. 1 NeoPaganism is a set of several religious traditions and spiritualities that seek to either (1) painstakingly reconstruct the indigenous religions of the Christianized world, especially those of Europe, or (2) reinterpret these religions in the contemporary era to formulate new religious traditions. Reconstructionist NeoPagan traditions include Asatru , a Norse Reconstructionist path, and Hellenismos , a Greek Reconstructionist religion. More contemporary, eclectic, new religious movements include Wicca, a tradition of religious witchcraft born out of the ancient Hermetic school of spirituality and magic practice. Wicca is by far the most popular tradition (or, now, set of traditions) in all of NeoPaganism. This religious tradition was started by a man named Gerald Gardner in 1950s England.

  • Wicca” Forthcoming In: E
    E. Doyle White, “Wicca” Forthcoming in: E. Asprem (ed.), Dictionary of Contemporary Esotericism Preprint manuscript of: E. Doyle White, “Wicca”, Dictionary of Contemporary Esotericism (ed. E. Asprem), Leiden: Brill. Archived at ContERN Repository for Self-Archiving (CRESARCH) https://contern.org/cresarch/cresarch-repository/ Aug. 13, 2018. Wicca Wicca is the term most commonly employed to describe the largest and best-known contemporary Pagan religion. The foundational premise from which Wicca emerged is the (since discredited) witch-cult hypothesis, the idea that the witch trials of early modern Christendom were an attempt not to combat a cabal of devil-worshippers but to eliminate a pre-Christian fertility religion popular among Europe’s peasantry. This theory had developed among nineteenth-century scholars, but only reached widespread attention when it was propagated by the Egyptologist Margaret Murray (1863–1963) in the 1920s and 1930s. When Wicca publicly appeared in the 1950s, its adherents claimed that it was the survival of this witch-cult and that its lineage stretched back into deep prehistory. Although most historians specialising in the early modern witch trials had already expressed reservations about the theory, it would only be firmly demolished by more intensive research during the 1960s and 1970s. By that time, however, the theory had entrenched itself in the popular imagination, particularly within sectors of the occult milieu (Hutton 1999, 132–150). The man often credited with establishing Wicca was Gerald Gardner (1884–1964), an upper middle-class, politically conservative Englishman who had spent much of his life in Southern and Eastern Asia. On retirement in 1936 he returned with his wife to Southern England, settling near the New Forest and joining an esoteric group called the Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship.

  • Mana for a New Age Rachel Morgain
    11 Mana for a New Age Rachel Morgain From chakra healing to African drumming, sweat lodges to shamanic journeys, New Age movements, particularly in North America, are notorious for their pattern of appropriating concepts and practices from other spiritual traditions. While continental Native American and Asian influences are perhaps most familiar as sourcing grounds for New Age material, the traditions of Pacific Islanders, particularly Hawaiians, have not escaped New Age attention. In particular, the movement known as ‘Huna’ has introduced Hawaiian-sounding words and concepts to the New Age vocabulary. Chief among these is the concept of ‘mana’, controversially subsumed within what is often a large laundry list of non-western religious and philosophical nomenclature, under the generic category of ‘energy’ or ‘life force’. Continually adapted through succeeding generations of Huna teachings, and further adopted into sections of the related contemporary Pagan movement through the tradition known as ‘Feri’, the concept of ‘mana’ displays some consistent themes across these traditions, quite different from its meaning in Hawaiian contexts. In being adopted into these movements, it has been transformed to fit within a field of ideas that have developed in western esoteric traditions from at least the late eighteenth century. In this chapter, I trace some of the ideas that have come to be attached to the concept of mana through several iterations of New Age movements in North America. Beginning with the foundational 285 NEW MANA works of Max Freedom Long, I look at the spiritual practice known as Huna, popularised from the late 1930s through a series of Long’s texts and his Huna Research organisation.

  • Chinese Marriage Migrants and Contested Belonging in Hong Kong and Taiwan
    INTIMATE FRONTIERS: CHINESE MARRIAGE MIGRANTS AND CONTESTED BELONGING IN HONG KONG AND TAIWAN by Man Chuen Cheng A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Man Chuen Cheng 2018 Intimate Frontiers: Chinese Marriage Migrants and Contested Belonging in Hong Kong and Taiwan Man Chuen Cheng Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Based on 17 months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Taiwan and Hong Kong between June 2014 and July 2016, this dissertation examines the everyday regulation and negotiation of belonging at various sites of Chinese marriage migrants' personal lives, including social service encounters, domestic space of the home, and Chinese marriage migrant communities. As Chinese women married across the two politically contested borders, their post-migration lives are situated within the frontiers of intimate family lives but also historically grounded political struggles and renewed local discontent against China’s political encroachment. The struggles of belonging faced by Chinese marriage migrants illuminate the norms, values, and ideologies upheld by citizens and the states of Hong Kong and Taiwan. As Chinese marriage migrants yearn to integrate into the Hong Kong and Taiwanese societies, some Chinese marriage migrants mobilized hegemonic discourses of belonging to make meanings of their everyday lives, others contested their exclusion by redefining their identities and in the process, producing new ii layers of inequalities against less-privileged Chinese marriage migrants. Delving into the narratives of belonging developed in everyday interaction, this dissertation shows how national belonging is a regulated and negotiated process beyond legal categories and immigration policies.

  • Alex Mar, Witches of America (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015), 276 Pp., $26 (Cloth)
    [The Pomegranate 18.1 (2016) 96-97] ISSN 1528-0268 (print) doi: 10.1558/pome.v18i1.30839 ISSN 1743-1735 (online) Alex Mar, Witches of America (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015), 276 pp., $26 (cloth). In Witches of America, popular writer and filmmaker Alex Mar ven- tures into three contemporary Pagan and occult communities in search of belonging and purpose. Exposed to a particular strand of Pagan witchcraft through the production of her documentary American Mystic (2010), Mar tries to pinpoint a personal, unantici- pated longing for the magical. Despite her Ivy League secularism and upper middle-class upbringing, Mar finds herself envying her subjects, who have something she does not: “…they have guidance; they have clarity; their days have structure and meaning.” (7) First and foremost, readers must understand that this is not an academic text, nor is it a popular survey of contemporary American witchcraft. Despite its somewhat misleading title, Witches of America is neither Tanya Luhrmann’s Persuasions of the Witch’s Craft, nor is it Margot Adler’s Drawing Down the Moon. Mar’s objective is not to pro- vide us with scholarly insight into any religious movement. She does not collect surveys, conduct formal interviews, consider prior works on the subject, familiarize herself with wider contexts, or conduct comparative analysis. She is also not playing the role of curious jour- nalist, collecting curiosities for the retelling. Rather, Witches of America is an intimate account of one woman’s desire for personal meaning. In nineteen narrative-driven chapters, spanning five years, Mar builds a personal relationship with Morpheus Ravenna, participat- ing in rituals with Ravenna’s various California-based witchcraft communities and documenting the formation of her tradition dedi- cated to the Morrigan.
