Earth Day and the Sacredness of the Earth

Gus diZerega — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:57:03 +0000

I think Earth Day is a particularly important moment for contemplation and commitment by us Pagans. Often American Christian critics accuse us of “pantheism,” and in a important respect they are right. We do find the sacred, most of us, in the earth without reference to any transcendental spiritual force. In my mind there is a transcendental dimension as well, but it is not needed at all for us to honor the earth as sacred.

Even important Christian traditions honor the...

Instructive examples on why interfaith work is a good idea

Gus diZerega — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:08:25 +0000

I deeply believe the problems in our country are more of the heart than of the head. Here are some youtubes courtesy of John Morehead of the Evangelical Chapter of the Foundation for Religious Diplomacy on Facebook. They speak more eloquently than anything I can write that interfaith work is a good idea for anyone interested in it. In my experience the personal result is to deepen my own appreciation of my Pagan...

The controversy over Pink Slime – and what it means.

Gus diZerega — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:03:07 +0000

The controversy over pink slime is helping educate Americans to the fact that corporations are as beneficial to agriculture as they are to politics. Tom Laskawy put it pithily: “What pink slime represents is an open admission by the food industry that it is hard-pressed to produce meat that won’t make you sick.” But the disinfectants needed to make pink slime less...

How the “war on religion’ backfired into a war on women

Gus diZerega — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:12:35 +0000

Here is a really good article by Tina DuPuy on how the Republicans got themselves into such a mess with America's more intelligent women. Left undiscussed is how the extreme pathological masculinity of both their deity and their leaders made that slip so very easy....

Bees, pesticides, and environmental ethics

Gus diZerega — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 16:48:52 +0000

For me, all our interactions with nature have an ethical component. None are purely with a insensate object to be used simply as a tool. For example, I buy organic not because it tastes better - although it can - but because we have to take care of the earth at least to some extent if we want to farm organically, and taking care involves treating something as if you respect it. And often organic farmers, if they are not corporations, do respect the earth.

That said, it is interesting that...

Further thoughts on our rapidly heating up culture war

Gus diZerega — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 02:35:09 +0000

UPDATES below

For years the culture warriors have waged a slowly rising campaign against the women and the feminine in all forms other than the pregnant submissive housewife or cold-hearted ideological warriors such as Coulter, Palin, and Bachmann. One of the few authoritarian right wingers with solid academic credentials, Harvey Mansfield, wrote a book, Read the full post here »

Exposing the War on Women

Gus diZerega — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:41:58 +0000

I hope every American gets to see this ad, maybe several times. From a Pagan perspective what is happening is really important because it is an attempt to dismiss the importance of the feminine in all its forms except the submissive and obedient housewife. No group has done more to transform Americans' sense of the feminine as spiritually equal to the masculine as we have. No group has more to lose from...

Ostara 2012

Gus diZerega — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 01:30:14 +0000

Ostara, the Spring Equinox, is always beautiful here in Sonoma County, California. This year was threatening to be different because we have had a disturbingly dry winter. The grass was green, but very short. We were having to water parts of our garden, something largely unheard of for this time of year. As we began our Full Moon last week rain was not in the forecast other than maybe a little one day this week. For our Full Moon we did a serious rain ritual. I am sure we were not...
