“I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.”

The Gods Do Not Vote
Monday, 05Nov2018 Filed in: modern adult pagans
The Gods Do Not Vote, So Why Are You Asking Them?“Meanwhile, I see some Pagans convinced that they know how the gods vote — or would vote, if they could produce a photo ID at the polling place.
Are these the same Pagans who sneer at that subset of evangelical Christians who apparently think that Jesus is a Republican?
If you are really a polytheist, then you must accept that the gods do not vote. Their values are not always aligned with our day-to-day political values. Really, what does Aphrodite care about Colorado’s proposal to change the redistricting process or about who wins the race for Pueblo County coroner? Should I consult Hekate about my congressional candidates?”

❝What you think you know is not what you need to know. Where you are is not where you need to be. Who you believe you are is not who you were meant to be.❞— NeoWayland, Systematically
❝Polytheistic view of life❞
Saturday, 29Apr2017 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“That is the polytheistic view of life. The world is a mess. The world is beautiful. The gods are eternal (or as good as). The gods work at cross-purposes, and sometimes humans are caught between them.
"If you try to change the world in the name of some grand, sweeping, utopian vision, you will just make it worse. The most you can do is to give Achilles and Kevin Houston a good cause.”— Chas. S. Clifton, On the Necessity of the Iliad for Modern Polytheism

Chas S. Clifton, one of my favorite pagan writers, has a piece called The Story of Three Athames.
So I'm pointing it out.
You should go read it now.
