“Vedic Astrology” – There is no Such Thing!…???...
pagannews:
Well, the truth is that the term “Vedic Astrology” was invented in the early 1980s, amidst the popularity of ’70s India-movements like ISKCON (“Hare Krishna”) and TM (“Transcendental Meditation”) and their love for using the word Vedic in an alluring, attractive manner – referring loosely to just about anything that could be written in Sanskrit or Bengali.
Of course, such a...

Whitney Houston Illuminati: Crazy Conspiracy...
pagannews:
Whitney Houston is the latest victim of a yet another conspiracy theory regarding the Illuminati. Houston’s sudden death on Saturday has caused some to theorize that it was, in fact, murder at the hands of the Illuminati. Some even think this “sacrifice” was made so Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby, Blue Ivy, could live.

Facts & Fallacies About Urban Spirituality (Of...
pagannews:
FALLACY: Urban spirituality is about hating the wilderness and / or rural lands.
FACT: Urban spirituality is simply lacking a spiritual connection to the rustic lands. We acknowledge that the rural lands are necessary, and we acknowledge a dependency on them for survival, but the celebration of said is kept to a minimum, and is never a lifelong focus of the urban...

Violence, Children and Women (Pantheon)
pagannews:
There seems to be a theme of violence in the news this morning, and before I attempt to wrap my head around the concept of idol-worship (stay tuned!) I want to talk about violence.
The first regards a local story on WSB of an investigation into child abuse because of a Santeria ritual. A daycare called the police after finding cuts on a 4-year-old girl’s chest. Apparently the...

page-of-pentacles:
i love reading about other people’s experiences with spirituality, worship, and witchcraft, but for me witchcraft isn’t religious; i don’t worship any deities, and my own belief system is complicated. so because of that, i’m especially interested in hearing from non-religious witches/non-worshipping witches.
of course, religion and worship mean different things to different...

How the Bible writers made straw men out of pagans
The Hebrew people seemed to do a lot of things just for the sake of setting themselves apart from their neighbors. For example, they weren’t allowed to blend two types of fibers, and they couldn’t go around breeding mules. While these laws may seem frivolous and silly, these laws probably had symbolic value as well - they learned early on that you just don’t mix things, no...

SOPA/PIPA's down for now, but it's not the only...
howtheyfly:
I don’t get why everyone went mad over SOPA but no one is paying ACTA any attention even though it’s 1000 times worse. It affects 39 countries and if it passes it would mean that everyone’s online activity would be under 24/7 surveillance, everything you upload, download and write online would be checked, and you could even be sued or sent to prison for just writing words from a...

So, how many conspiranoids have blacked out their sites or at the very least put up a big fat banner in protest of SOPA? You’d think the number would be quite high, whatwithall their panic over the government taking control of everything. Here are some sites I’ve checked out yesterday…
