The total eclipse this coming April 8th will hold dozens of millions of people in awe (including both Americans and eclipse chasers). What will I do during those 100 or so sacred seconds? Will I prepare a ritual? Just revel in it? Hug my kids? I have no idea yet. All religions have sacred times and sacred places. For many of us (and certainly me), this will be one of those most sacred times. What will those 90 seconds be like for you? I don’t think that can be predicted – we can’t decide when the sacred will touch us.

Paganism is radically different from many huge religions, and that these radical differences appear to have a large impact on our lives, on the lives of future generations, and on our world. In Paganism, no single deity is in complete control. Paganism’s rejection of one deity in control aligns with Paganism’s strong thread of individual freedom.
