I lay awake recently turning the recent victory for archaeological research at Avebury over in my mind. It seems to me that the background hum, as it were, to the development of the ‘reburial controversy’ is the unexpected growth of an anti-intellectual streak amongst modern UK Pagans, particularly among druids. This, I think, . . . → Read More: Let the dead bury the dead
By Makarios, on April 30th, 2010 A scheduled pagan festival is under the scrutiny of the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Plotinus’ thought is deeply marked by paradox, and the most striking one probably is that the cause of being must not itself be being nor have any of the determinations implied by being.

Saudi Arabia and China are among 13 countries a U.S. government panel named on Thursday as serious violators of religious freedom.
The panel’s report also criticized the current and former administrations in Washington for doing far too little to make basic religious rights universal.

In Wicca, May Eve traditionally runs from sunset on the last day of April until sunset on the first day of May.
