Did you know the Green Egg magazine has been running since 1968? It began as a newsletter on what is now a very old machine that only had four colors of ink, and well, green it was. Oberon himself tells the whole story in an interview on YouTube on Katrina and friends (https://youtu.be/3ssm0P0ofow) so, I thought I would provide a peek at the very first volume of the newsletter.

As the last leaves fall and the year’s light wanes, the veil between the worlds thins. Samhain (pronounced SOW-in or SAH-win), one of the four great fire festivals of the Celtic calendar, stands as the final spoke on the Wheel of the Year. It is both an ending and a beginning—a time when the harvest is complete, and the dark half of the year begins. Continue reading Samhain: Gateway Between Worlds and Seasons

How did Pagans ever become a church? I thought Pagans were anti-church! Similar questions flood social media these days. The word church has become something of a swearword in our time. It’s often associated with control, abuse of power, corruption, and dictating how people should live and what they should believe—essentially an attitude of “our way or the highway.” There’s now widespread resistance to that idea, not just among Pagans but in society at large—and they are not wrong. Christian churches do have that history. However, this made me wonder about the origins of the word church and its original meaning. Continue reading Paganism and Church

How did Pagans ever become a church? I thought Pagans were anti-church? These and other similar questions flood social media these days.

There is a big resistance to that now, not just in the Pagan communities but in general and they are not wrong. Christian churches do have that history to them; however, it made me wonder about the origins of the word “church” and its original meaning. Continue reading Paganism and Church

The very first thing I want to tell you about is the current movement of Pagan Solidarity because it is historical in many ways.
