Stand Up and Be Counted

pagan20pride pagan20pride

With the announcement From the MoD that there are 100 pagans and 30 Wiccan’s or Druids in the British Armed Forces. Many Pagan groups are saying that this number is does not truly reflect that actual number of Pagans in the armed forces. Phil Ryder of the British Druid Network said there are likely more pagans in the armed forces than the figures indicate. “Druids and followers of Wicca tend not to publicize their beliefs for fear of discrimination. In some areas it’s seen as odd,” he said. It amazes me that today we are still ashamed of whom we are, and that are afraid of repercussions for being true to ourselves. I have done it myself put religion nil or just spiritual for the fear of being seen as wacky. I have also felt the pressure of working in a Christian organisation each and everyday someone trying to make me believe in Jesus Christ sad thing is I think he was a good guy Circle of 13 and performed magick you tell me who has the right view? So why do we hide our pagan selves are we really ashamed of what we believe or live in fear of what others may do. I think the true reason is that we don’t have any public role models and we are viewed in the media very badly and often linked with Devil Worship. School children are still taught that witches are evil or good, not humans practicing a religion. It about time we changed the

Alban Elfed Stags and Cernunnos

The Celtic, antlered god Cernunnos is followed for his life-fertility-death cycle. His death is now usually set at Samhain (or Hallowe'en, October 31st) and his rebirth is marked at or around Spring Equinox. The pendant is worn for Renewal and Transformation.

For the second time in the solar cycle. We stand equally between light and dark time instead of moving from darkness to light. We now move from light to dark and it is the time of the autumn Equinox, celebrated by Druids and Celtic traditions are Alban Elfed, (the light of the water in the Druid tradition). Although most of the celebrations are related to agriculture and harvest and giving thanks to the fields. One of the major symbols depicted in Celtic charms is the stag, which is used to symbolise nature surviving through the hard times of winter. The stag is closely associated to Cernunnos horned God. Also known as the Lord of animals or the laws of wild things. Cernunnos is often seen with horns, cross-legged in shamanic pose with the torc around his neck and in one hand and with a snake in the other. Cernunnos is depicted with seven points on his horns and often in the company of a stag. The stag is the symbol for Cernunnos or Herne, the horned gods; and is also is sometimes associated with the Green Man  and with gods of the Underworld.  Moreover, the Druid’s Horned God of Fertility, Hu Gadarn, was usually portrayed with the head of a stag.  Also, the Man in the Tree, or Derg Corra, is always accompanied by a stag. He is the Celtic guardian of knowledge. The stag and itself symbolology, played a large part in the Celtic belief system. They were considered to be animals of the

Tree Lore and the tree calendar

yggdrasil the world tree yggdrasil the world tree

Trees have always played a great part in the lives of human beings, and in magic’s they represent the symbol of life regeneration and rebirth and to some said to contain sacred knowledge. Trees are used, from everything from a source to creating shelters heat and tools. The wood from the trees has been also used as a sign of authority. Many kings and queens priests and priestesses would carry a staff of rowan , oak, Birch or beach. These trees were considered to be incarnations of the gods, and by carrying the staff would show others of their authority, and that their power was directed from the gods themselves. The image of trees in the pagan in a neopagan faith has always been considered to be magical and the symbol of the tree is used to connect the three rounds (roots), the underworld, (trunk of tree). The earthly realm, and (the branches) the heavens and the worlds beyond. It is even said that the phrase “ as above, so below” comes from trees, due to the fact that way trees grow their branches and roots seem to be of similar shape and size, the as above, refers to this almost identical shaping of roots and branches, whilst the so below, refers to the idea that whatever is created in the heavens manifests itself in the one of the major principles behind all kinds of magic. The trees are also appeared in folklore and mythology as places where gods have sacrificed themselves or have been

Christmas and Yule Customs

yule yule

Now that Christmas is fast approaching and the year has once more come full circle, most of us will soon be busy adorning the house with brightly coloured decorations, a Christmas tree and all the other paraphernalia that goes to create a festive atmosphere. Holly and mistletoe will almost certainly be included in our decorations as evergreens have been used in the winter festivities from very ancient times and definitely long before Christianity appeared on the scene. What Christians celebrate as the birthday of Christ is really something that was superimposed on to a much earlier pagan festival–that which celebrated the Winter Solstice or the time when the Sun reaches its lowest point south and is reborn at the beginning of a new cycle of seasons. In Northern Europe and Scandinavia it was noted by the early Christian scholar, Bede, that the heathens began the year on December 25th which they called Mother’s Night in honour of the great Earth Mother. Their celebrations were held in order to ensure fertility and abundance during the coming year, and these included much feasting, burning of lamps, lighting of great fires (the Yule fires) and exchanges of gifts. The Romans, too, held their great celebrations–Saturnalia– from December 17th to 25th and it was the latter date which they honoured as the birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The Saturnalia was characterised by much merry-making, sometimes going to riotous extremes, with masters and slaves temporarily exchanging roles. The use of evergreens to decorate the streets and houses was also very

Introduction to Druidry

Druid Druid

The belief system of druidry can vary from Celtic tradition to an artistic or Christian mix, and it can also range from a spiritual path including paths that are not necessarily sympathetic to a pagan belief structure to charitable organisation. The two main groups related to Druidry are The British Druid Order (founded 1979) which is a pagan group which is goddess orientated and the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids which is both pagan and Christian. There are also druid paths which worship local god/dessess of local spirits for example at Wayland’s Smithy a druid may show honour to the old gods of the builder and the Anglo Saxon Wayland.while  some work with a particular deities, regardless of tradition or culture, because of their own cultural or spiritual background or because these deities seek them out. Druidry stresses the mystery of poetic inspiration and explores healing, divination and sacred mythology. Following the problems at Stonehenge in 1988, The Council of British Druid Orders was founded as a focus for communication between the various different groups. Some Pagan-sympathetic member orders are: The Glastonbury Order of Druids, which works with the Glastonbury mythos; The London Druid group, founded in 1986 which has associated Celtic and magical groups; and the Druid Clan of Dana, a daughter organisation of the Fellowship of Isis. A Druid explains: ‘Druidry has no book of law, the only lessons being those learnt from nature. There are no gurus and hierarchy is kept to a working minimum. Central to Druidic belief is a

A Brief History of Wicca

The wiccan beliefs many people practice today can trace their ancestry back to our ancient stone age past. Evidence for the beginnings of the long history of wicca can first be seen in the cave paintings of the Pyrenees areas of France and Spain dating from around 17,000 years ago.
