Pagan Community Notes: Week of February 5, 2026

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, we begin with some good news: celebrations of Imbolc and the Feast of Brigid offered beautiful videos and thoughtful lessons; Via Lactea Sanctuary reached a property tax settlement in New York; and a federal judge allowed The Satanic Temple’s lawsuit against the City of Boston to move forward. Then comes the strange: reports of David Hume’s grave being vandalized with so-called “satanic” imagery. And stranger still, the National Prayer Breakfast unfolded largely as predicted, while New Hampshire lawmakers introduced a constitutional amendment to move the state toward Christian theocracy.

BOSTON — The weekend’s scheduled “Free Speech Rally” was overshadowed by thousands of counter-protesters. According to reports, there were only a “few dozen” rally attendees, who were eventually escorted out of the area to the sound of the crowd cheering. The event’s organizers have claimed that the rally was not related to the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, but protesters were unconvinced and showed up in force. Among the crowds were a number of people from the Pagan community. Specifically, members of the EarthSpirit Community, which is based in Massachusetts, were on hand with their own signs.
