A Very Narrow Pagan Path
Here’s a question: What’s up with all the really narrow mind pagans?
How does this happen. You’re a Pagan. You’re a Witch. A Magician. You’re a Polytheist. An Alchemist. You worship God and Goddess. You practice magick and cast spells. You radiate with energy and understand how we all fit together under this blanket of stars at the edge of infinity.
Yet, more than I could have ever fathomed, within this same group, this maligned, misunderstood group, exist an entire subset that make the same condemnations, the same blanket statements of prejudice that I’ve heard from the most holier than thou Christians and low grade bigots.
Why?
Sure, we’re all human. And I’m the first to admit that I’m far from perfect. In fact, as I write this and look back at my life perhaps I’m a bit of a hypocrite too. But then it comes back to the timeless occult idea: intent.
It is my intention to live and play well with others. To appreciate their collective differences and celebrate the wonderful diversity we encounter as we walk our collective paths. Because they are wide enough for all of us.
As Witches, we should all expect more of ourselves. We should know better. We are the wise ones. The keepers of timeless knowledge and power. We are the ones who look within. We should respect all others who wish to do the same regardless of race, sexuality, gender, economic class or cultural barriers.
So may it be.
