Update: Next Millennium Boycott and now Petition.

Just an update on the boycott article I posted a couple weeks ago.

My position still hasn't changed on how the store should conduct itself. While this is considerably an opinion of mine, I have started a petition to help the owners see that I am not the only one of this opinion.

Here are some remarks to the boycott and petition with my answer:

Repurposing: Solutions to My Everyday Life

Popcorn bowl!

I think it's time I take a break from criticizing and address another bullet point from my introduction post: projects. Specifically, I want to share what I call "repurposing" and what that is to me.

The Local Pagan Community--Summed up in Facebook?

This is probably the easiest article post I will ever have to publish. All I am doing is copying over screenshots from a group I was apart of, called "Pagans of Nebraska." I'm going to avoid adding as the entire discussion can speak for itself. Also, it's going to get lengthy.

A Call to Boycott.

Boycott Next Millennium--a local Omaha store.

I'm not happy about this.

The Power of Belief

There is a quote I heard years ago that I never fully understood until recently. It's by Richard Dawkins, of all people. While I don't agree with a lot he says and some of his views, I do find some truth in this quote he made:

"By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out."

What could he mean by that? Well, I don't know what he meant, but let me tell you what it means to me in regards to paganism.

Beginning a new blog.

So begins another blog on paganism.

This blog needs a lot of tweaking, but I am going to start adding written content. Starting with this post.

Basically, the purpose of this blog is the following:

• Publicize my criticisms regarding the pagan community--at large and at small,

• Write reviews to books I read, and

•  Share ideas and projects that I find useful and/or helpful.

I think I will try to schedule blog posts regularly, but that is all to be determined as of now.

First, I am opening a can of worms by combining the intellectual discourse tactics of philosophers with discussions of paganism.

We'll see where this goes.
