Opinion: Reflections on Our 249th Anniversary

By Clio Ajana | July 4, 2025

The lesson of the Tower implies destruction and disaster, but the question remains: is this change suddenly thrust upon us or is it one we seek to embrace? Do we lead and embrace the change to strengthen our nation or do we freeze allowing the change to overwhelm us?

Here we go again: David Brooks’s misuse of “paganism” as a cultural corruption

By Manny Moreno | May 4, 2025

In an age where religious minorities — especially Pagans — already face real marginalization, suspicion, and in some cases, violence, Brooks’s carelessness, and by proxy, The New York Times’s carelessness for publishing it with little editorial concern,  is irresponsible.

Opinion: When the world is running down, you make the best of what’s still around

By Clio Ajana | May 3, 2025

It is at moments like these that we need to remember the image of Temperance and what it stands for, internally and externally. Are we willing to look inside ourselves  to seek where we need change or where we need to hold fast to our ideals, beliefs, and foundational purpose?

Editorial: It’s about time someone stood up for the U.S.’s persecuted Christian minority

By Eric O. Scott | April 13, 2025

Until now the Christians have had to suffer in silence. Now, thanks to the Trump administration, they can complain in anonymity.

Death helps us find balance between too much and not enough

By Clio Ajana | April 5, 2025

Death is a disintegration of the old in favor of the true. Who are we, what are we, where are we, why are we, and how are we in this lifetime? We can ask the same of our ancestors and ancients, just as our children and descendants will ask the same of us.

Opinion: Elon Musk and the Theology of Empathy

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | March 29, 2025

Just as sane people don’t need to embrace the insanity of the Trumpies, Heathens of positive intent don’t need to take on any of the awfulness of the neo-völkisch haters and their ilk. We can make empathy a central point of what we believe and what we practice.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Animystic Tarot, by Willow Fay, published by REDFeather, Mind, Body Spirit, an imprint of Shiffer Publishing, Ltd.

Card: Major Arcana 0 – The Fool

The next seven days are likely to offer up opportunities for new beginnings and possibly even the start of an exciting journey or new endeavor. The energy of optimism, play, and embracing the unknown while trusting your instincts is highlighted. No path or opportunity is without risk, but many things worthy of achieving or undertaking merit any risk involved. The unknown can elicit fear, but the underlying message of The Fool is to recognize the fear and move forward regardless.

Conversely, allowing fear or reservations to prevent taking a leap of faith, especially one that is supported by facts and wisdom could result in new opportunities being blocked. There is also the potential for making decisions or choices that are completely ungrounded in reality and ignore what is easily perceived. Such situations are most likely to lead to an unfortunate outcome that is contrary to what is planned.
