Evangelical Christianity Versus Everything Else

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080214/ts_alt_afp/usmilitaryreligion_080214063450



I have just finished reading this article , and im not suprised by it.Its been all to long the custom of Evangelical Jesusism to flex its muscle in order to gain converts.But in this case it also makes me wonder how far would the Modern Evangelical movement go to secure its "turf".

1. I believe they would deny religious liberty to prison Inmates..Wait thats currently happening.. Thats partly why Patrick Mccollum went to Washington
2. The Joint Chiefs and the Pentagon have not appointed a Pagan Chaplain to oversee our Pagan soldiers in the Armed Forces.
3. People of all alternative faiths have had to suffer in custody battles for there children just because one spouse adheres to a path they find "Cultish"thusly deeming there spouse unfit to raise or even be around there children.

When something bad happens in America blame it on everyone who isnt Christian.A major example was spoken by the late Jerry Falwell when he said"9/11 was perpetrated by atheists, and gays, and feminists, and pagans.

All i can say is its time for those of us NON CHRISTIANS still living to stand up and be counted.Its time to put the opressors in there place , and to remove the chains from around our necks.. Enough is Enough

Totem Animals, The White Stag, and Herne

This is so awsome that this Stag was sighted. Personally the Stag is my animal spirit. To know that they are still in the British Isles, is indeed heartening to this Pagan. I hope that this one that was seen lives a long life. The White Stag is an important creature in myth and to many Pagan traditions. Herne God of the Forest and the Wild Hunt , Lord Of Stags Be Praised. Lets bring back the magickal beings to manifestation on the earth. They have been gone to long
I think in the Age of Barnes And Noble that society needs to know that magick is beyond the circle. Its in every creature, as well as in us.The Stag is the embodiement of Nature, the Noble heart of Men. That which we seek after, Wisdom in Age.. and long life in this incarnation.

Im ready for a world that embraces life, the Ancestors and Nature spirits, and freedom in the Gods

Faith , The Goddess, And Healing

It has been quite awhile since my last blog.I realize its time to move away from the rants and bad feelings against and towards others in the pagan community.Now on to more important topics. I recently have had some major events happen in my life .My mother in November went in for a CT scan and was told that she had several cancerous masses on her colon.The doctor told her she would need surgery to remove that part of her colon and the cancer. I was devastated when i found out.I immediately began working magick, and sending good energy to her while she was in the hospital after her surgery, then on December 5th i got a phone call saying my mom was in emergency surgery for complications due to an improperly removed drain tube. It was hard for me, she didnt deserve this , i didnt deserve this. I talked to the Gods and basically said that i needed strength to deal with this, and if she was meant to go , let it be peaceful and as painless as possible

I lit many candles ,praying to Brigit and Airmed to heal and bring life to my mother , and thusly i ended up going to be with her at the hospital. I was there everday for about 4 weeks before she was finally released to come home.Mentally on the outside i was myself but inside i was scared, doubting my faith and resolve as a pagan. I ended up staying 8 weeks helping my mother on her road back to health. She is currently in hospital for a procedure meant to help seal her incision and reduce her scarring and healing time.Im even a bit worried about that, but at least my mothers spirits are high.I thank the Gods daily that she is still with us.

Which leads me to the question . is paganism a path of magick , or a path of faith?I believe it is both.I always thought that talking to the gods , relating my fears and worries and asking for peace and focus in my mind was bordering the prayers and supplications of when i was Christian. But now i think the Gods expect us to talk to them not just in ritual circles, but also when our cars are broke down on the side of the road, when our loved ones are sick and infirm, or just when life has us so frazzled we just dont know what to do. I believe that the Gods have my interests in mind, not just when i work magick but when i just call out in the dark of night.Faith tells me that the Gods hear what im saying, and magick brings the will and power of the Gods to what im going thru right at this moment.So my question is what do you think about the Gods and Faith. Also im interested in collecting your healing chants, spells, songs , rituals , lore and prayers, then later i will post a blog about Healing on this blog. To those who have relayed Good energy and wishes to my mother and myself, Thank you. This will be a long road but with the love of the Gods and prayers of there followers i know we will get through
