Today, we're posting a call for assistance. Peter Dybing, a Wiccan clergyman who has done amazing work in trying to further the rights not only of Wicca, but of all polytheisms and Paganisms as well, has been working with the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Here is his link: http://paganinparadise.blogspot.com/2011/11/pagan-request-for-help-in-haiti.html?spref=bl. This is a worthy cause and Peter a man of absolutely integrity. Please consider helping him if you can.

For every predatory evangelical missionary, of which there were many, who went down to Haiti in the wake of the earthquake trying to bully, shame, terrorize, and harass people away from their indigenous ways (namely Voudoun), consider making a donation.

Then consider this: why isn't missionary work of that nature, the type of that aims not to provide food and build houses but to destroy indigenous traditions and co-opt people away from their native Gods, considered a human rights violation?

it is you know, a human rights violation. Why is it tacitly sanctioned?

As I recall, discovering humanoid life in the New World was shocking to Europeans. There was much debate concerning whether these humanoid New Worlders were human based on the Bible (sorry, I don't remember the chapter and verse). The fact that these New Worlders embodied so many of the attributes that Christ favored (generosity, industrious, family-oriented, etc) was not enough to give them 'human' status in the eyes of the European colonizers - even when their own Priests pointed out those Christ-like characteristics.

How do we turn a book-based mindset that has been engrained in generations here and abroad? There is a paradigm shift taking place. Learning to ride that shift-energy; use it to unravel the Web of History and then re-spin it is an option. But do we posess the Skill and Sheer Power to do so? If we do, do we posess the Wisdom to do it Nobley and in Full Truth?
