In this episode we talk to Esther Bamberg, a pagan atheist. What does it mean to be a pagan atheist? How does conversion contribute to misunderstandings? Can you be an atheist and still work magick? Does spiritual work necessitate a actual belief in a deity in order to give fulfillment? If someone identifies as part […]

30 Days of Writing about Social Justice. Who’s in? #amwriting #30daysofsocialjustice
by Gina Pond • • 0 Comments
Tuesday I’m going to start writing about this little list of social justice topics. I was inspired by the Month of Written Devotion (which I have now fixed to the proper link) and created 30 days (because 30 days have September). True, this isn’t everything and I know there could have been way more topics […]

The Heretic Speaks: Interfaith Clergy Support Ministry
by Gina Pond • • 0 Comments
It’s been an interesting few months for me, but one thing that has been on my mind, in my heart asking for and getting support in my ministry. Support for myself as a minister and priest, and for other clergy, is extremely important, especially from our peers. There is a lot of stuff in dealing […]

The Heretic Writes: Forgive me… #lent
by Gina Pond •
Forgive me for today I can’t repost another thing about racism, queer rights, fat activism, or politics. Today, I can’t stand to read another thing about the cruelty that humans do to each other. This week I can’t really stay angry about injustice. I just don’t have the energy. Forgive me because right now the […]
