          What is a Pagan-
When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an earth or nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of nature are our holy days, the earth is our temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation. ~Edain McCoy



~*Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it.  Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin.~*  - Herman Hesse

  "This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body."

--Walt Whitman, 
from Leaves of Grass

  Towards A True Balance by John P. Rogers

Be mindful!  Husband the earth.  Protect her from greed and violence.  Build humbly, plant trees, grow flowers and clothe her with dignity.  Respect all her creatures.  Honour her natural laws and the universe which cradles her.  Above all, heartily worship the Source of All That Is.

This world needs secret heroes!  Be brave, speak the truth, heal the sick, make peace.  Be strong, serve patiently, love generously, live simply.  Enjoy fellowship, eat and drink modestly, walk often, cycle and recycle.  Be thrifty, prefer cashflow to possession, give good measure.  Let your work be your prayer.

Put on the whole armour of light!  Unearth the beauty in everything.  Inhale the Spirit of Goodness.  Kindle kindness, especially toward yourself, embracing the sweet silence of your own soul.  Fear nothing.  Accept what you are and - while you have breath - give thanks.

My friends, you may not be aware that the wool industry (especially in Australia) is very cruel to sheep.  Please, if you purchase or wear wool, make sure that it is from a conscientious company that does not inflict needless pain on these docile creatures.  For more information and a (graphic) video of current practices visit
http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/pink_wool_video?qp_source=pinkpetagen
Also, please see my shares for sources of cruelty-free clothing.  Thank ewe.  :)

About Me Friendly hippie tree-hugging vegan earthy pagan social worker type individual ;p Love Care2 and all of my wonderful friends here. I sometimes have limited time due to working FT in the mental health field, working on my masters in social work FT in the evenings and currently doing an internship. Any time I have left I am usually doing something outside, catching up on sleep or on Care2 LOL I welcome kindred spirits into my experience and value learning from others and sharing in the lives and paths of everyone I meet.

  Introduce yourself to Emily
  Lifestyle

Activist Aspirations Enthusiastic
Political Leaning Very Liberal

Wild Fact About Me I am empathic and extremely sensitive to the energies of all living things. I seem to be especially attuned to trees and I often see faces in them. I have had an out of body experience. I am a former U.S. Peace Corps volunteer. I never grew any armpit hair...LOL ;)
My Philosophy People who have not been adopted by an animal or who do not sing in the shower (or at least the car) with wild abandon are not to be trusted. If you do not fit into this category, I like you too, but I will try to convert you ;p
What Gives Me Hope The Universal Law of Attraction, meeting good people all around the world who want to make a difference; the magick and resilience of nature; people having fewer children and waiting until later in life to have children, seeing people sing in the car :)
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by If I were President the world would already be a better place b/c "W" would be out of office. ;p I think I would gloat about that for awhile, and then pick someone I respected to take my place and run away really fast! :)
What/who changed my life and why The Semester At Sea study abroad program. I was lucky enough to go around the world in 3 months by boat and visited 10 countries, many of them "developing" countries. It opened my eyes to the amazing world around me and led me to go into the Peace Corps later. Also scuba diving and going on safari in Kenya were magickal and spiritual experiences for me...
What Bugs Me negativity in any form  
Passions zero population growth, earth, other cultures, learning, environment, love, traveling, trees, my cats, music, my friends, my husband, nature  
Inspirations teachings of Abraham-Hicks, the sound of the ocean, goddesses, rain, life itself, the wind, music, blue skies, nature, People waking and seeing their own light, The Great Spirit, healers, the sun coming up, to fulfill my purpose on earth  
What Scares Me Negativity, Not living in the moment, Not living life to the fullest every day  
  Favorites
Role Models my husband, Jane Goodall, Starhawk, Stephen Hawking, parents, Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Thomas Merton, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Schweitzer, John Lennon, Albert Einstein  
Quotation "My country is the world, and my religion to do good" - Thomas Paine; "Do you create or do you destroy?" - Daj Hammarskjold; "All you need is love" - John Lennon; on the lighter side: "We've got no jobs...we've got no money...our pets' heads are falling off...!!!" - Dumb and Dumber
Interests crystals, learning new things, Living with attention and intention, Reiki, aromatherapy, Gardening/Farming, Travel/Adventure, herbs, Holistic Health, Mind/Body/Spirit, Nature, meditation, reading, napping with my 3 cats  
Books Diet for a new America by John Robbins, Ayn Rand, Starhawk, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, The Chronicles Of Narnia, The Secret Life of Plants, Herman Hesse, Barbara Kingsolver, A Confederacy of Dunces, Scott Cunningham, Stranger In A Strange Land  
Music the cult, savatage, k. t. tunstall, bad religion, megadeth., The Smiths, coldplay, Afro-Celt Sound System, Rage Against The Machine, Nine Inch Nails, dido, David Bowie, Modest MOuse, evanescence
