Cloudrunner's Avatar Well my friend, we've completed the installation and testing of a lot of our scripting and our completely retooled site look. Yes, avid reader, it was a lot of work, thank you for asking!

Okay, yeah, that comes off just slightly cocky doesn't it? Sorry.

So just the facts then, the new theme was put together solely for The Noble Pagan by the designer who did theme design for the Paramount Star Trek Movie Forums (http://www.startrekmovie.com/forums/) for their movie release last year, Mark Lambert, and I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for this design. In the short amount of time with our conversations leading up to the design he was able to grasp what I was looking for, read my mind, and translate it into what you see now. Incidently, he is also the one that did up our candles graphic images for our prayers page ( ... [more]

  Boys...On a Goddess Path?
Jan 27, 2012 - 5:49 PM - by Ladyhawke
Ladyhawke's Avatar Another really good article that focuses on issues faced in Pagan/Wicca families (you know, maybe I should have posted both these articles in the Family section of TNP?)

Boys... On a Goddess Path?!?


I belong to a couple of Pagan Parenting groups on numerous Social Networks. And I'm always a little surprised when I come across parents who aren't sure how to incorporate their sons in to their practice. Recently this question was posted in one of my groups: "Paganism is such a woman's religion, so how do I incorporate by boys?" And I have read many similar questions over the years.

To me, these questions tend to answer themselves... If... [Read More]

  Reproduction and Recruitment (author's title because I couldn't think of one)
Jan 27, 2012 - 11:32 AM - by Ladyhawke
Ladyhawke's Avatar Really interesting article that raises some interesting issues about Pagan families and gender orientation and passing down traditions and beliefs.

(Just one note - since I'm heterosexual I'm kinda sensitive about the use of the word 'queer' - I never know when the word will be offensive or not. The author uses the word in the article and I'm not going to censor it out. If it offends anyone here, I apologize. My thought was that his message was more important than my fear of offending.)

Here's a brief look at the article and a link to the original.


"This is bound to be one of those posts that simultaneously scares certain conservative dominant religious elements because it confirms their fears, while also potentially upsetting some people who may otherwise be open to or allied with some of my wider aims and affiliations. So, the reaction to this should be interesting to witness in the coming days.

  A Family in Need!
Jan 23, 2012 - 9:36 PM - by Macha Rising
Macha Rising's Avatar Last night was our last night with my husband’s kids for we don’t know how long. We all went out to eat at T.G.I. Friday’s and ate spinach dip and ice cream sundaes until we were stuffed to bursting. We laughed a lot, and we all mostly tried not to think about the uncertainty of the times ahead.


My husband has been in negotiations with his ex-wife informally since October, and formally (read: with lawyers) for two months trying to work out a child custody arrangement that will let him see the kids after we’ve moved. We originally hoped for a three-month period of time with them during the summers, but after their mother objected that this would interfere with their homeschooling schedule, we compromised with a proposal to have them two months during the summer, and one week each in March, October and in December over the winter solstice. It’s still not very much time, and it’s going to be really expensive for us to have to pay to fly four kids back... [Read More]

  » Who Is The Noble Pagan?
The Noble Pagan is a community of pagans, witches and other nature based spiritualists dedicated to educating inquisitive minds by promoting tolerance and acceptance through education and open mindedness. You are not required to be defined by a label, a faith or a religion to be a part of our community.

We operate under the assumption that all religions that are not christian, islamic, or Abrahamic in belief structure fall under the "Pagan Umbrella". This includes Wicca, Druidism, Native American, Asatru / Odinism, Ceremonial Magic, Discordianism, Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Gnosticism, Green / Kitchen / Hedge Witchery, Stregheria, Shamanism and other nature based belief structures.

While we are dedicated to promoting religious tolerance through education with pagan religions and belief systems, you do not need to be a pagan to participate in our community discussions. Our forums are open to anyone and everyone who has an open mind and is willing to bring their life experiences and knowledge to the table to help educate (the process goes both ways). We welcome you to The Noble Pagan with open arms and open minds.

May you walk in the light with love.
