The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/beirut)
Today’s dispatch comes from J.D. Harlock, who introduces us to a form of Naturalistic Paganism based in the history and landscape of Lebanon. “Embracing Naturalistic Paganism fosters a sense of kinship and purpose among all Lebanese, regardless of their background, allowing for communal healing with a peaceful but powerful resistance against the forces that wish Lebanon to be fragmented.”
The recent terror attacks in Lebanon and France have sent shockwaves through Europe and the United States. On Nov 12, Beirut suffered a double suicide bombing killed 43 and wounded more than 200 people. That was quickly overshadowed by events the next day in France, where 129 people have died and over 100 were wounded. Daesh has claimed responsibility for both attacks. In response, France has initiated a military campaign against suspected terrorist targets in Syria and has arrested over 100 suspects. Anti-immigration protests are taking place nationwide, and theits President has proposed changes to the French constitution that would expand his powers.
