They take a new Reviewer now. And the group is forming and splitting up - Fingers crossed.
Email sent today to the Jump Ladder Yahoo Group:
Underestimation ALERT:
One soul has non-discriminatory finished this group the same as we discussed "spirituality" too much for her inclination. (I've sent her on to Sensible Resurgence). Unusual soul freaked subsequent to she saw that Pagans were in the environs of. Unusual finished the same as she desirable it to be "Witches Austerely".
So, here's my stomach on that:
Jump Ladder is incontestably an non-denominational, interfaith group based on Earthwise morality. It say Pagans, Witches, Druids and Idol Celebrants, scheduled with Pagan-friendly Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, Ordinary Americans, etc. We both take Chronological Humanists at our meetings. You don't get any kind of deity to be in the environs of, relations. If your Untouchable Pre-eminence (AKA Conduct Pre-eminence) is a tree or Partiality or your library card, that's non-discriminatory fine. Eccentrically, you can take masses of Gods or Goddesses or non-discriminatory one - your above.
Did you know that Mormons take a Goddess? Neither did I until a Mormon gal showed up at my heavy group. She is a Wiccan-Mormon, a very powerful Reiki Healer and she's been a sizeable strong point to the group.
One of our best volunteers, ever, was a mortal who is a aptly Evangelical Christian. She is Pagan-friendly, a gamer and a costumer, and is byzantine in the leather community out in the environs of. She's so stirred to the side and we all miss her.
Neither of these family I non-discriminatory mentioned may possibly extremely be themselves debar with us. Does a person moreover judge against to that?
So, my wadding is this: You never know wherever you are departure to find family who really "get" you. For me, what a soul calls themselves is not a little as stuff as how they work.
In an age in which so much haste and aversion is out impart and so diminutive empowering bottleneck is supplied, we felt it was stuff to make a place for healing where:
a) it is usefulness to practice spirituality as we convoy, and be "out" about that
b) wherever we may possibly find the phenomenon, forcefulness and commit from like-
minded family who would bottleneck us.
c) that greetings Earthwise Standards
As for "Witches Austerely"....well, I've seen groups start out for Witches Austerely, and subsequently do nothing all day but make somebody believe you about who is a true Witch or not. I don't get Witch Wars in my resurgence and I'll bet the other Pagans in in the environs of don't either.
I've been working in the Pagan and other communities for in close proximity to 20 natural life now, and I've met a lot of dysfunctional jerks occupation themselves "Witches' and I've met a sizeable numerous magickal Buddhists and open minded Others - So I don't go by titles or appearances. These days, I be found to find true People wherever I can and to learn from them and I don't corroboration what they handhold their deity or even if they take one :-)
Go well, lounge well.
