Thank you for the kind words ladies! I really just don’t understand why folks have to have an other/enemy but a lot of folks do seem to have that need. Christians, or other branches of Paganism seem to be the preferred targets within the Pagan movement. Both forms of this prejudice bother me.

I totally agree with you – how can anyone be more ‘paganer-than-thou’ when we all seem to come from the same place? What I find common throughout all the pagan paths is the practice of personal responsibility, self knowledge and betterment, which in turn helps us to serve our wider community and the web of life that we are connected to. How can amyone have a monopoly on this?! Good post Pax.
