My five year old niece believes in Buddha, Narasimha Deva and glitter. Her faith has never wavered.
My youngest nephew coined the phrase PaganHinJew. He is excited to light the Shabbat candles with me next week when I visit them, but he flat refuses to give up bacon.
My husband is a Hare Krsna.
Each member of my coven has a Hindu deity that they worship.
My oldest friend just recently embraced Paganism and is on a spiritual high from the Earth Mothers love.
We are more than the blood in our veins or the land that our forefathers came from. Ancestors aren't just family members. The Gods don't give a rusty fuck where your fathers fathers father is from. They care about who you are, and where you are going.
If you have a problem with someone embracing the non-white Gods of their Ancestors, feel free to fuck off.
This brand of racist bull crap is not just a Heathen issue. It is a Pagan issue. We will not be taken seriously if we don't take each other seriously. We will not be shown respect until we respect one another.
We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.
