Naturalistic Paganism
The Threefold Law – Supernatural or Psychology? by Megan Manson
One thing I like about Paganism, and particularly Wicca, is that rather than attempting to teach rules and ethics, it teaches wisdom. There’s really only one moral “rule” in Wicca, which is the Rede: “An it harm none do what ye will.” Most Wiccans interpret this to basically mean, do what you like as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone or anything. Which is a fairly liberal code in itself, but even then, some Wiccans do not follow it. Some, to quote Pirates of the Caribbean, see it as “more of a guideline than a code.”

Last summer I spent time there grounded and centered, with senses wide open. Read More
Sacred Springs, Part 1 by Anna Walther
Last summer I swam in Barton Springs, a spring-fed pool in the heart of downtown Austin. Although I had lived in Austin for eleven years, it was my first visit to the Springs, a state of affairs that a friend judged “nearly criminal.” On the day my family and I drove to the pool, cars lined Barton Springs Road from the parking lot all the way back to the highway.
