Column: Politics of Religion, Religion of Politics

By Lyonel Perabo | January 5, 2019

Pagan Perspectives

Today’s column comes to us from our international columnist Lyonel Perabo. Lyonel holds an M.A. in Old Norse Religion from the University of Iceland and resides in the cold, Arctic city of Tromsø in Northern-Norway (69° north), where he works in the tourism industry, principally as a tour-guide, as well as a writer. His personal research focuses on local history from northern Fenno-Scandinavia, the Viking Age, and circumpolar religions, among others. 

The Wild Hunt’s weekend section is always open for submissions, Please send queries to eric@wildhunt.org. I doubt any reader of The Wild Hunt has heard about Knut Arlid Hareide and the political party he helms. Why would anyone need to, indeed, unless they happened to be a fellow compatriot of his? Yet, Hareide is, in some ways, quite important.

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Ancestral Path Tarot, by Julie Cuccia-Watts, text by Tracey Hoover, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc

Card: Five (5) of Staves

The incoming week may be full of meetings, but they are likely to be filled with lively discussion, strategic planning, and driven by true inspiration. The potential for bringing together individuals and groups that might not generally work together may initially create tension and even conflict. However, folks who are capable of seeing the bigger picture will recognize that the inclusion of diverse individuals with unique skills can entice not only cooperation but also create something truly amazing and awe-inspiring.

In contrast, before there can be any kind of resolution or serious plan, everyone involved, and especially those in leadership positions, must first have addressed their own inner conflicts. While disagreement and dissent are part of the process when it comes to discussions and planning, having all the facts and data available is likely to be key in gaining agreement. Otherwise, infighting and conflict could completely derail proposed projects.
