Louisville Pagan Pride

September 29th 2007!

About Me

The Louisville Pagan Pride Day project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the elimination of religious prejudice and discrimination while fostering pride in Pagan identity. We operate in sympathy with the mission statement of the Pagan Pride Project, Inc. This statement reads as follows:
    EDUCATION- We’re never going to be able to practice our spiritual paths openly if we don’t give the public accurate information about what we do and do not do.ACTIVISM- People aren’t necessarily going to go out of their way to find out what Pagans really do. We have to have the courage to act on our convictions and do what we need to do.CHARITY- We know that what we do returns to us. We need to demonstrate this by offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. When we share our own abundance, we show that we trust the gods to share abundance with us in return.COMMUNITY- We’re never going to be able to practice openly if we don’t know anyone else in our local Pagan communities. We need to weave networking webs in our cities, in our towns, in our rural areas. We need these webs to support one another. That support will also show those who would restrict our practice that we are not just a few isolated wackos, but are a growing congregation of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is as valid as their own.
Annual Pagan Pride celebrations are held during the months of August, September and October. Over one hundred and twelve cities participated in 2005, and in 2006 there were 128 scheduled events in the United States, Canada, and abroad.

Music:

Music is a big part of Pagan Pride events. Are you a musican or know someone who is? Come and display your talents by providing entertainment for this years event. Do you play hand drums? Lets get a drum circle going and be the heartbeat of the festival!

Movies:

The original 1973 version of "The Wicker Man". Although Pagans have always been misrepresented by the film industry, this film contains some realistic aspects, but are a mix of traditions and elements from different sabbats, with a few semi-factual things thrown in for dramatic tension. If you have never seen this film, watch the 99 minute extended version.

Television:

"Charmed" is a cute show, but is a black eye to the Pagan community. If we could really do the things that happen on this show, our path would get a lot more respect than it does now.

Books:

Paganism: An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions, by Joyce and River Higginbotham. My personal favorite, and has been adopted by the Unitarian Universalist Association as the preferred curriculum for non-Pagans to begin exploring these paths, free of fallacy. Touches all the bases without favoring any one tradition, a rarity in Pagan publications.
