He will probably be the one reading it, but I am not sure. Either way, he can tell you a lot and knows about everything that happens in this area of the pagan community. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Not so much the militant just the rituals and mythology.

The point was to clearly demonstrate the difference between creating an organization which truly embraces most of the traditions+people and serves them as opposed to an organization that would serve mostly to ambitions of few individuals or a single group. The difference is subtle, hard to described, but to me it's very important. Hence the strong comparison - the seven rings vs. the one ring. <br /><br />I am unclear as to why do you think I changed my mind about swastika. By all means I am for rehabilitatin of that symbol and its re-introduction in an openly displayed pagan symbolism. What I perhaps failed to express was that there are much more important factors in this process. Such as ensuring that paganism will never be connected with far-right scene in public and misused for political agenda of this kind. That I believe is a pre-condition number one. Organizational structure of pagans could as complex as the one of EU and yet we won't get any closer to this objective. Unless we are super-careful about the context in which we use and talk about swastika ourselves, we will never succeed. And in that very discussion you refer to, there was a prime example of expressing a concern about swastika that was far from careful. Not too bad, true... but still inconsiderate. That's how I feel about it.<br /><br />I think I do remember you. Guitar player? :) It must be you. Welcome to my blog.

I think that situation is not that bad regarding evil Sauron to take over the local pagan scene :) However, I agree that this will take some time before it works.<br />Also, I remember you personally saying that you do agree with rehabilitation of swastika that evening. However, I understand that people are free to change their mind...<br />(I am Jakub, we talked together later that night in the pub after the discussion if you remember me)Jakub Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249281115567117324.post-29148059219200222552012-07-30T22:18:51.102+02:002012-07-30T22:18:51.102+02:00Well, I feel polyteistic gods as a very personifie...Well, I feel polyteistic gods as a very personified emanations of something, what we can call Gaia, JHVH, Nature, Universe ... whatever you want. These emanations but also has, thanks to the worshipers, very specific personality, so they can be very different. Thats it what you mentioned in comparison Thor and Perun. Yes, they has similar basem but according the plase where they were worshipped, they change their "face".<br />The same case is Odin and continental Wotan. Same god, different name, different look.<br />We can worship nature, but of course much better for us is worhsip Odin and Frig for example.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215239546490737555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249281115567117324.post-45986887439246326282012-07-28T07:39:39.803+02:002012-07-28T07:39:39.803+02:00Pěkný blog, jenom škoda, že není v češtině.

I have also seen films like Bowling for Colombine that somewhat include the issue with Christian fundamentalists. I have also seen lots of American websites about paganism. But I can only imagine. I think the movement is incredibly developed in the U.S., but so is Christian fundamentalism on the other hand. From what have I heard some states seemed to be to be so conservative I could not even comprehend. All I can say about this is that I wish the best for you and the commnuity. You have many registered religious societies and the whole thing seems to be very much integrated in the society and recognized by state authorities. We don't have that. From the very little I know I have a good feeling. But we live in somewhat strange times....Zahradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462507706505052024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249281115567117324.post-86071155593660991052012-06-06T14:47:25.651+02:002012-06-06T14:47:25.651+02:00Thank you for writing this.

In the US there is alot of room for growth on all sides but i am afraid the the Christians are doomed by their dogma to reject us pagans, no matter how much we protest our innocent intentions toward them. So far, our laws protect us. But for how long? By the way... you sound very educated to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
