“Varieties of Pantheism” by Paul Harrison

Scientific Pantheism
Scientific Pantheism is the belief that the universe and nature are divine.
It fuses religion and science, and concern for humans with concern for nature.
It provides the most realistic concept of life after death,
and the most solid basis for environmental ethics.
It is a religion that requires no faith other than common sense,
no revelation other than open eyes and a mind open to evidence,
no guru other than your own self.
Pantheism is not a monolithic creed. There have been many varieties of pantheism, arising inside and outside of traditional religions. Read More
Autumn Equitherm
Today is the Autumn Equitherm or Cross-Quarter in the Northern Hemisphere. Among Neo-Pagans, the Cross-Quarter is commonly celebrated on October 31 as Samhain (pron. saw-in). It is the part of the origin of modern Halloween. The actual date of the cross-quarter falls about a week later on November 6 or 7. The precise date and time for the cross-quarter for the year can be found at archaeoastronomy.com. Meanwhile, those in the Southern Hemisphere experience this time as the Spring Equitherm or Cross-Quarter.

This is the ancestors breathing. Read More

This gratitude not only makes me feel loved, but it also moves me to deeply love those around me and our future generations, and is the wellspring of my spirituality. Read More
