Naturalistic Paganism
Non-theistic Freemasonry, by Roy Vrizent
Editor’s note: In this article, Roy describes another non-theistic spirituality: non-theistic Freemasonry. Like Naturalistic Paganism, Secular Buddhism, and others, this adds to the many naturalistic spiritualities sprouting up around us – another approach to practice that shares our worldview.

The Summer Solstice approaches! Ready?
The Summer Solstice is known in Contemporary Neo-Paganism as Litha or Midsummer.

Sacred Springs, Part 2 by Anna Walther
In “Sacred Springs, Part 1,” I described my first visit to Barton Springs, the most famous limestone springs in Austin, and explored the role that Barton and other major Edwards Aquifer springs play in indigenous spirituality.
