I'd like to meet:
Introduction:
The goal here is to unite pagans/wiccans throughout the bluegrass. ALL PAGANS regardless of enthnicity, sex, gender, tradition, or belief. I feel my job is also to unite open-minded individuals and peoples of all walks. I want to create a meeting-place or at least a fertile ground for our blessed community to grow. To the Goddess ALL children are blessed and to me everyone is welcomed here with respect and love. Which means you must respect each other and ALL RELIGIONS. Mama Heathen does not pander to bigotry, hatred, or egotism.
Ideas, articles, graphics, opinions, ANYTHING is welcome here. I will link your websites and I will make this your home for Kentucky pagan info if I can. FYI here's a definition of "paganism" from wikipedia:
Paganism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism
Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller, rustic") is a term which, from a Western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or cultic practices or beliefs of any folk religion, and of historical and contemporary polytheistic religions in particular.
The term can be defined broadly, to encompass the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The group so defined includes the Indian religions (such as Hinduism, Jainism), Native American religions and mythologies and Shinto as well as non-Abrahamic ethnic religions in general. More narrow definitions will not include any of the world religions and restrict the term to local or rural currents not organized as civil religions. Characteristic of pagan traditions is the absence of proselytism and the presence of a living mythology which explains religious practice.[1]
The term "pagan" is a Christian adaptation of the "gentile" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Christian or Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations among Westerners,[2] comparable to heathen, and infidel, mushrik and kafir (????) in Islam. For this reason, ethnologists avoid the term "paganism," with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, or animism.
Since the later 20th century, "pagan" or "paganism" has become widely used as a self-designation by adherents of neo-paganism.[3]

However broad or narrow your definition or no matter what peg you hang your hat on, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE. So pull up log and sit by the fire. Fire may warm your bones but may the love warm your soul.
brightest blessing
in love and light,
Mama Heathen
