NaturalisticPaganism's avatarNaturalistic Paganism

Naturalistic Pagans not only view the Earth as sacred, but also ourselves, each other, and other beings that share this planet with us. But regarding food, what does the most Naturalistic Pagan diet look like? Writers, Renee Lehnen (an omnivore) and Kansas Stanton (a vegan) debate this question regarding topics on human evolution, health, environmentalism, ethics, sustainable meat, and clothing. We hope that within this debate, the reader can answer this question for themselves and be able to make a spiritually conscious and physical difference. -Kansas Stanton

Pāli Word a Day for May 20, 2018 — katāvi — one who has done what was to be done

Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ,
saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya.
Taṃ nāmarūpasmimasajjamānaṃ
akiñcanaṃ nānupatanti dukkhā.

One should give up anger, renounce pride,
and overcome all fetters.
Suffering never befalls one
who clings not to mind and body and is detached.

What a terrific card to kick off a new cycle! For the next four weeks the Sun will be in Gemini, and I have been talking about Gemini season for a while now. Expect some of those doors to begin opening, not all at once, but more like one at a time. You can do and accomplish so much over the coming month, and you may even find yourself amazed at the things with which you finally begin making headway.

The Circle of Life is part of this card, and itwill be prominent now, as we see new babies arriving, after the departure of someone held dear. The World card is much like a relay race, and in some ways, when you successfully approach the Finish Line of a part of your journey, you find yourself at a Starting Line for the next phase. Expect new opportunities to become…

Lilith and Pluto meet May 18 and stay in close contact during the Royal Wedding. This is a rare event occurring at 21+ degrees Capricorn hasn’t happened in 1964 years. 

Lilith is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn May 18 @ 21 degrees 08 minutes. This is extremely empowering for women to say Hell no we aren’t going to compromise in any way or be second fiddle and we refuse to support in any way or have anything to do with the patriarchy, with governments, hierarchies and abusive sexual power mongering leaders and corporations.

We can see this reflected in Meghan Markle choosing NOT TO BE GIVEN AWAY by any man because for better or worse her father Thomas Markle freaked out over the PR of his being paid to put some photos out and apparently also because of his wayward older children putting Markle down and embarrassing the hell out of…

  • German Chamomile – Matricaria chamomilla

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 10 of Cups – Saturday, May 19, 2018

I believe the anticipated number of royal-wedding watchers is over three billion people; whatever it is, it is an insane amount of people. So, today, whether you are watching Prince Harry marry his American starlet, or not, the chances of you not knowing about these nuptials is pretty nonexistent unless you have been living under a rock.

By now, you may be asking what this has to do with the card of the day. The 10 of Cups is the wedding card, that happy happy, joy joy, and all of the bliss which comes with emotional fulfillment. Perhaps you are even attending a wedding this weekend yourself, or, at the very least, spending some quality time around the home and family. The cards never cease to amaze me, so when I happened upon this today, my first reaction was the inability one will have to escape all of the coverage…

You’ve got the power! Yes, indeed you can make the magic happen, but it doesn’t likely come through slight-of-hand. Utilizing all of your skills and the resources which are available to you can help you pull off a good ending to your week. The Magician has the tools to create anything; it may feel like a bit of a juggling act, but you can do this.

Your creativity is peaking today, and you are in a position to accomplish something important. What matters here is knowing what it is that you should be creating. It helps to have one’s priorities straight to really see your magic working. Whatever it is you choose to manifest now may not have seemed totally possible before, but, today, you have everything you need to do whatever it is you desire. You are the creator.

See you here tomorrow!
