Atheist, technopagan and vegan.

It even had the Vatican in shock (and perhaps still has). What many people perceive as the new Crusades to make the entire world become Catholic doesn't seem to be more than a "repositioning" of that faith so it's more modern. Will this pope succeed? Who knows.

One of my acquaintances/friends on the everpresent Facebook is a pagan writer by the name of Serita Tillson. She's published her first book about her experiences on the pagan path. It's called The darkened path (book 1). I've decided to let you all know about this. After all, this is a pagan blog, and if there's one thing pagans should do, it's sticking together. So here's a snip from Serita's blog about her first book:…

Plastic. The most wonderful invention of all, or so it seems. It's everywhere, and the more we have, the better it is. For instance in supermarkets, where you see something, wrapped in plastic. Before you buy it, it may be wrapped in more plastic, after which you get a plastic bag to take it home in. And water. That comes in plastic too. Naturally, because plastic is natural. Isn't it? Even our plastic comes wrapped…

You may (not) have noticed the attempts of the people in control (no, I'm not talking about politicians but about the big money-mongers) to make people more stupid by shoving all kinds of bizarre stuff into their heads via television. There is another path they're going, though. Another way to influence your mind and make you nice, dumb and docile. It's called safety. You probably think I'm nuts, because safety is good. Safety saves lives, safety…

I had the idea for this post when I saw someone write about "National Child Abuse Awareness Day". Why do people limit something like that to their own country? Just because it's convenient? Disgusting things like child abuse but also all other kinds of abuse and misery happen all over the world. That's not something that stops at and obeys your country's borders. I'm convinced that people who start such actions only have the best…

Have you ever noticed how negativism has crawled into the way many people speak? The amount of not that's produced lately is astounding. No wonder that there's so much negativity around us. What do I mean by negativism? Statements like 'not bad' when people actually mean 'good'. When someone says 'not wrong' while they could just as well say 'right'. As if there's a ban on 'good' things. "Let's not be too positive, they might arrest us…

I found this article here and thought it too good not to share: In a world where we collect friends like stamps, there’s actually a connection between using social media and being lonely. I was shocked at 0:40. My jaw dropped at 2:20. And — yup — my mind was blown at 3:40.

Television. Don't we all know it? Of course. We grew up with it (at least the people of my generation and later, which makes for a lot of people). Still it's hard for many folks to understand that I don't watch television. I tell them, they nod, and they don't get it. I don't watch television. I do watch some episodes of a few series that I find online, I watch DVDs and Blurays, but not…
