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

Life, at times, moves in slow, steady rhythms, like the tide lapping at the shore… And then there are times like now—an unrelenting maelstrom of change. The kind of change that upends what we thought was stable, that spirals downward with such force we fear we may never surface again. And yet, within this spiraling descent, there is a choice: to be swallowed by the current or to find a force within us that allows us to stay afloat.
