I think people should continue to donate when they can. It's important to support pagan voices like Jason's in whatever fashion people can do.

Will we still be able to donate to the site (WH) or is that aspect not needed anymore? Overall, the idea sounds pretty exciting and hope it works well for everyone involved.

LOL again, thanks for the giggle, made my day.

I imagine that is some personal dig at me, based on scumbags like Ayn Rand? Nice.

Resources? Nothing that some hardwork, dedication, and ingenuity can't overcome. My wife and I built a legally-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit spiritual organization on nothing more than than a dream, vision, and a threadbare personal budget for providing community for pagans and pagan-friendly folks. Our only resources was our hands and minds and community. The rest will come. If you wish to discuss this further, then please get in touch. Blessings upon you Ruadhán.

Best of luck with your pan-pagan event.

Been a busy week at WH it seems. Great thing about Jason's blog, is that I most always come away with lots of food for thought afterwards. Though the whole Pagan-label discussion is starting to make me feel a bit woozy, lol.

"but I also don't see why it had to come off like a 'schism' instead of part of a 'teachable process."

Because it's much easier to pour gasoline on the bridge, and set it on fire, than to repair the bridge itself. That seems the standard operating procedure for most things in pagandom. We need more bridge fixers, than the wrecking crew-mentality. I've experienced it first hand, seen it in action via friends. Not fun.

It does seem a slick bit of marketing for his group.

I'm not offended, but am highly bemused. Methinks that you should hang out with a better group of Wiccans or something. Or better yet, do your own pan-pagan events, then there is no excuse for 'privileged' wiccans spoiling your fun. DIY (do it yourself) is the answer for most things when your feeling marginalized and otherwise persecuted. Keep us posted on how your event is shaping up, cheers!
