Hi Gang: Here's a bit of the transcript from CNN Commentator Glenn Beck's broadcast on 3/21/08: "Last weekend I had to go down to Walt Disney World and -- I mean, I had to. I was doing some work for the Children's Miracle Network and they asked me to give a keynote speech and I also emceed their awards dinner for them and it's amazing. It's amazing to walk through Disney.... read more 
I came to two very potent realizations some two weeks ago. I say potent because I've found it difficult to get back into that headspace. It will take some time and effort to change the wiring in my head, but the difference in how the world 'looks' is ... extreme.

I was watching 'Strange Gifts: the Mystery of Angus MacPhee', when it suddenly occurred to me that the modern social paradigm of time is rooted totally in the Christian narrative. You see, our understanding of time dictates our e... read more 
Taliesin made two excellent and illustrative comments to my last post that has prompted me on this dappled Béltaine morn to post some further thoughts.

I haven't quite figured out what to do with mass negativity - of which I feel there is a lot, so I must be partially responsible for it - though I know that I should take some comfort in the fact that 'it has been proven scientiffically that a positive thought is a thousand times more powerful than a negative thought'. I take this to mean t... read more 
There is a strange unintuitiveness to reality that once you get it into your perception makes most people and collective society look insane, as though you're looking at the world through a funhouse glass and everyone is walking around all twisted and out of joint.

I remember when I was at graduate school, there were incessant marches, protests and demonstrations outside the parliament building. The university students were very into changing the world through I guess what you could call... read more

First of all, the number six has been considered important by a host of cultures in a tradition going back through the Babylonians (for a contrary tradition, take a look at the pre-Babylonian Hebrew calendar that is completely based on cycles of seven). I have thus always balked at the number six in Celtic tradition as it seems too obviously derivative of this continental tradition that came in with... read more

Christopaganism
(in Followers of the Celtic Way)
The last topic on syncretism has developed a very interesting turn with several people identifying themselves as either pagans with a certain amount of Christianity in their practice, or Christians with a definite pagan-style faith. My own persona...

Re: Syncretic worship
(in Followers of the Celtic Way)
The most popular form I know of was Aryanism, claiming that Jesus was the son of the Hebrew God - who was percieved as the supreme God in the same fashion as Zeus et al. - in the same way that Heracles was the son of Zeus. The gothic emperors were...

Well, technically it was longer life for his brother, Edward, whose success in Ireland would mean a united Gaelic front against England. This would have meant that the Gaelic order would never have collapsed (skipping a few steps here) and the ess...

Re: Rejoinder to 'What exactly is a ...'
(in Celtic Pagans)
All these terms are relative. 'Alternative' simply denotes something that is not something else, its implication in our modern language being something other than the 'mainstream'. I am sure that Christianity will be truly alternative in the futur...

about me
Some say that I was born in the shattered remains of the cradle of honor and agrarianism to a nomadic clan following the great post-industrial herds of economic speculation and serfdom. Setting camp early in my life near the distopic centre of the Undead Republic, my family fed their children on the ancient tales and beliefs, little comprehending the strange fruit it would bear in me. When I came of age I began wandering through the devastations wrought by the incestuous marriage of the Enlightenment and its Neo-Classical whelp, searching for the lost lore of my fathers and the ancient languages of my mothers. My travels eventually took me to the great Northland, where beginnings and endings would become so entangled as to be indivisible. Now I look out under the wheeling stars where the grinning moon lights a path invisible by daylight back across land, sea and time itself, but after that who can say?
Others say that I was raised by wolves.
