The Earth Path

Thirteen years ago, as a high school Freshman, my father took me to a little metaphysical shop. He was looking for a sword to bling out his Renfair gear. I wandered about marveling at the entrancing crystals, statuary, and tarot decks...until I found the bookshelf. There, seated for an hour while my dad made small talk with the shopkeep, I discovered paganism. I discovered a world where Athena, Hera, and the other goddesses who'd captured my imagination in books of mythology still walked the world and inspired the mind.

This page is a collection of Tangle and Spiral articles meditating on pagan themes: goddesses, the body, the earth, animal spirits, and ritual.
