Holli Emore, director of Cherry Hill Seminary, reached out to Rabbi David Wolpe for an interfaith conversation following his article “The Return of Paganism” earlier this week in The Atlantic. But Wolpe declined, claiming his article was not intended to address modern Pagans.
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, we celebrate Kwanzaa and share forthcoming events as well as record and share Pagan responses to The Atlantic magazine’s publication of an anti-Pagan article by Rabbi David Wolpe.
TWH’s editor-in-chief Manny Tejeda Moreno responds to Rabbi Wolpe’s atrocious attack on Paganism in the pages of “The Atlantic.”

NEW YORK – Last week The Satanic Temple made good on its statement it would sue Netflix and Warner Brothers over the use of a Baphomet statue that bears a striking resemblance to the statue commissioned by TST by filing $150M lawsuit in a New York district court. Court documents filed last Thursday cite copyright infringement, trademark violation, and injury to TST’s business reputation according to a report by CNBC. In a news story published by USA Today, the complaint filed states in part:
“What makes this case particularly striking and significant is that it arises in the context of Defendants who are highly sophisticated media production and distribution companies which blatantly misappropriated Plaintiff’s unique expression of an idea even though they have a long history of vigorously protecting their own intellectual property,”
As we reported last week, TST had threatened legal action against Netflix and Warner Brothers over its use of the statue of Baphomet in its new series, “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Lucien Greaves, co-founder of TST, was unable to provide us comment or a statement upon advice from legal counsel due to the pending litigation. TWH will continue to follow this developing story. * * *
