We were also able to contribute $500 to the Wild Hunt’s fall funding campaign. As a result, a graphical ad for Godless Paganism: Voices of Non-Theistic Pagans will appear on the WildHunt.org site.

Mid-Month Meditation: “Ode to the West Wind” by Percy Bysshe Shelley

After listening to the recording (5 minutes) or reading the text, take a few minutes to let the experience sink in. If it feels right, leave a comment.
