           One of Tree, one of falling leaf. Teach all of Wicca of life in the circle. Of spring and the beginning and of new life coming forth; our youth and childhood as is your will. And tell us of summer, a child no longer, in the full green leaf of young adulthood. Teach now of autumn, the changing colors beautiful, rich and showing the wisdom as you change, in the beginning of the fall. Falling to the earth, in the way of the spirit and faith, as elders becoming and glad to be so. And…

May the snow melt of winter become of gentle streams,to be the winding water that takes us all  into the warmth of summer, there for all to drink of.  BLESSED BE. laurel.

........I'm dedicating this weeks show to one of the Five Cardinal Elements, the Element of Air. It's a good topic for April because, by many traditions, Air is associated with Springtime and Day's Beginning.



Usually associated with Men's Mysteries, Air is most often thought of as on the Mental Plane.



The Romans gave the month of April it's name, which they called, Aprilis. For the Romans, it signifies a time of unfolding leaves and flowers.



So we'll take a look…

...In honor of April Fools Day, our theme this week is: The Trickster and Fool.  We'll take a look at the history of April Fools Day, as well as the Role that the Fool and the Trickster play in Earth-Based religious practices.



Also, a quick look at some of the best known hoaxes in the history of the Western World (well, sort of, anyway)



And we'll hear some foolishness from today's Modern Trickster, Russell Brand.  The English actor and commedian has, in my opinion, grown as…

...This week here on The Spiral Dance, we're Thinking About Deism.  



Deism as an encompassing thought and philosophy had a major influence over those we in American call our Founding Fathers.  Thus the shape of our Constitution is very much a product of Deism.



But what's the connection between Deism and Paganism?  Well, in the Eighteenth Century many Deists spoke of a Creator God, or The God of Nature.  They connected to the Devine through Rational Thought Processes, and by…

     So this is my first post on this site, and not to say the least. I am definitely new at it. I've been reading through the blogs and forums of this site and it is riddled with "I'm am new and need help" posts. Regardless of what it is you have come here for, help and guidance is I feel we all seek in life. I am not saying I am right or wrong, this is a matter of my opinion. I have fully taken for granted have a religious freedom in my country, and not fully utilizing my free time. I…

Hi everyone

I am trying to right my own ethics but I don't know where to start. The help will be much appreciated.

Today I woke up to people cutting trees in my garden. They have chop most of the big branches. They said that they are old and about to break. So I took a closer look they where healthy branches. So I Don't Know what they thinking. I feel very sorry for the trees and now the garden what have the best of the bird life that it had before. I hate it when people don't think before they do something. This makes me angry.

I can log into any other religious websites, except for ones that are spiritually "pagan" in nature. This is disturbing for me, despite the historical hypocrisy of "religious freedom" in my country of residence. And here I am, in the popular calendar year of 2015 experiencing this... intolerance. Well, I am thankful that this site is open, and that it has a live chat option that is not blocked either. It's comforting for me. This is a blessing, and I hope others will find WiccanNeoPagan.com…

Hello! I am new to this website. I am a new pagan and I don't really know that much about it. I believe with this site, I will be able to be a better pagan and find out what path I want to go on.

This week, we celebrate Beltane! Beltane is a festival of Fertility and Love as we welcome the flowering of Nature's Return. In our mythology Beltane represents the Mating of the Goddess and the God. It's The Original White Wedding!

So, we'll talk in more detail about the meaning and significance of May Day from our earliest history. Plus we'll talk about the mythologies and customs that are traditionally associated with Beltane. And, while we're at it; just what the heck does…

If you're the creative type, you probably spend way too much time beating yourself up about how UNCREATIVE you are. Well on this week's Spiral Dance, your friend Hawthorne is here to help! Many people think they have a clear idea of what it means to be creative, and a whole lot of myths have been built up around that notion. It may be too much to say that Everything You Thought You Knew About Creativity is Wrong, but this week we'll bust some creativity myths that,…
