The Controversial Celt: Action Without Understanding Is Pointless
http://thecontroversialcelt.blogspot.com/2012/03/action-without-understanding-is.html
An Irish pagan shaking up the pagan community one question at a time. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Action Without Understanding Is Pointless. Action without understanding is pointless. We, as Irish pagans, have had to explore outside sources from groups that would have had some interaction or influence with the Iron Age Irish in order to create a ritual structure that could. Understanding without action is useless. I believe that the Gods are there, helping in my life, but how to do acknowledge that? As noted...

The Controversial Celt: NeoWicca Is Not Wicca?
http://thecontroversialcelt.blogspot.com/2012/10/neowicca-is-not-wicca.html
An Irish pagan shaking up the pagan community one question at a time. Friday, October 26, 2012. NeoWicca Is Not Wicca? I was trapped in a time warp earlier today. I was stuck in the late 1990s where a group of people actually felt the the word "NeoWicca" was so blasphemous that the mere mention of it brought about threats of being removed from an internet forum. Of course, in my usual fashion, you threaten to kick me if I don't adhere to your (ignorance inducing) "rules"? To know that there are still gro...

http://thecontroversialcelt.blogspot.com/2012/07/religion-faith-and-worshipoh-my.html
An Irish pagan shaking up the pagan community one question at a time. Thursday, July 5, 2012. Religion, Faith, and Worship.Oh My! I have heard, "I had 'religion' shoved down my throat" or "my family hates me because I don't follow their religion." Terms like dogma, faith, and worship ride the same horse when it comes to the offense some take at the implication that they take part in such things. Let's look at these terms individually and objectively. B Dogma and Doctrine /b. As these two words, in regard...

The Controversial Celt: Ancestor Veneration Doesn't Mean Just Pagan Ancestors
http://thecontroversialcelt.blogspot.com/2012/03/ancestor-veneration-doesnt-mean-just_6405.html
An Irish pagan shaking up the pagan community one question at a time. Friday, June 22, 2012. Ancestor Veneration Doesn't Mean Just Pagan Ancestors. With this in mind, I figure I can find some way to acknowledge the solar celebrations while specifically focusing on these early inhabitants. I'm still entertaining ways to acknowledge the solstice and equinoxes with those ancestors in mind, but. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Celtic Scholar's Reviews and Opinions.

http://thecontroversialcelt.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-intimidation-factor.html
An Irish pagan shaking up the pagan community one question at a time. Thursday, September 12, 2013. Have you ever been part of a discussion where what was discussed went way over your head? Were there facts being thrown around and then jumped on by someone else to the point that not only could you not follow the current portion of the conversation, but the original point now was lost on you? Do you get intimidated in these types of conversations? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

An Irish pagan shaking up the pagan community one question at a time. Friday, July 20, 2012. Minority Religions and Community. If we can consider the intangible, in between space of everywhere and nowhere, known as the internet a place, then yes, those who come online to discuss various topics, do indeed share a common place. In the sense of this discussion, do those who get together to discuss Neopaganism, or even religion in general, share a common idea? What are the stories of the Gods? No And no one ...
