The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/inclusion)
In the spirit of New Year’s Eve,” writes Karl Seigfried in TWH’s final column of 2022, “here’s my countdown of ten things that I’d love to see in the coming year, each with a link to something to do or something to read as inspiration towards action.”
The USA not at a turning point, writes Karl Seigfried – it has been on the wrong path for years. But there are steps to take to rescue it from its present mire of racism and violence: choosing diversity over inclusion; bringing an end to violent threats; and, at the last, simply choosing to care for one another.
Pagan Perspectives
A few years ago, I was visiting a Pagan event, which will remain nameless. The event was well-patronized and filled with participants from all sectors of our community writ large. It was organized by an amazingly competent team who were sensitive and caring. There were carefully prepared spaces that I am sure you have heard of, red tents to male mysteries. I visited one of these, the Pagans of Color safe zone, and was asked to leave; I was told the space was not meant for “straight white dudes.” (I am gay and multiracial, and while I have in rare cases been called a “dude,” it is not in any top ten list of nouns for me.) So I left.
