  Trimming followers 

  I have had to trim followers to the blog as people are adding multiple accounts or accounts bound to help people make money with their blogs. This is not what pagan collective is about. So please, just follow with one account. I am not going to need that kind of services here. We actually care about the community, so this is not a method to gimmick money out of others.

  This week I will be skimming out the project further, creating pages on what we will be doing, needing and so on.

  You can still submit your own articles.

  Thanks and chat back at you all later,

  Happy New Year! 

  I know we all celebrate this on Samhain, and or Beltane for the southern hemisphere for some (??) But today is the last day of the year, last day of the 2010’s decade. Allot has happened to me in the last ten years and I am sure many of you feel the same. I became Chronically ill, My fibro and RA shot forward and the way I live my life now is way different than my 20’s and early 30’s and part of that is Craft and shaman related. Shaman is more than a culture or two of islanders and natives and I know people have issues with some white girl calling herself a shaman, when she isn’t wearing a headdress or a bone in the nose (I asked for one at the tattoo parlour but they said they no longer harvest bones for that kind of thing. lol) I am joking!

  I have had many lives, and in all of them I was a shaman and I still retain that knowledge and wisdom, so bite this white girl. 🙂 You will just have to get over it.

  I am still waiting to hear from you all about remaking what we consider Pagan values. That homework assignment, such as a new “rede” or code of ethics, new charges of the God and the Goddess. To put us in a more modern area with our crafts, respectfully. I will write my own versions of these soon, and list them here under pages. You can also include art work with your “paper”. You can save it to .pdf or .rtf or .txt if you like, and send them via the comment form, or even email me at anamassienahc@gmail.com

  I am inviting all new witches, pagans, as well as older and even elderly members of the craft to do these things. I want everyone to have a voice, and you can submit things at any time, even after deadline of January 5th I think I said? I am on a new medicine and it is working! All of you with fibro and RA, PTSD and SAD please ask your doctors about COGENTIN. It’s for people with parkingson’s condition (I will never call this a disease) but it also helps side effects of other medicines like seroquil, which I also take and it gives me stiff muscles. It does help that, but it is a total mood enhancer, and you will feel amazingly out going and helpful to others. You may even talk to people again (who are not a doctor lol) and go outside and wander around. Isn’t that amazing? Just give it a try! It will cause dry mouth (keep water or flavored water handy) but over all the pros here outweigh the cons.

  I also want to thank the current followers we have now on the blog. Feel free to also write some things you would like for the over all new paganism moment and send them in, it’s your work, your words. We only link to the article on a page.

  Have a safe and happy new year eve and day tomorrow, and be safe and don’t drink and drive, or talk on your cell phones, in the cars because its almost totally illegal now to do!

  Thanks and Blessings,

  Ana Massien

  Blessed Yule to you all 

  Harken, Shiel! again from the Heatheru shaman 🙂 🗿🔮🌒😉🌘🎄🧨

  Blessed Yule, 12 Nights of Yule to the Nordic wiccans and pagans who celebrate this, and Blessed Yuletide season for the rest of you all in the Northern hemisphere, and blessed summer season and Lithia to all of you in the southern hemisphere or those who celebrate midsummer. ⚜🐧🦉🧙🏼‍♀️🧙🏼‍♂️🧜🏼‍♂️🧜🏼‍♀️ I hear that Aussie land is hot this year — get used to that! The US baked last summer here as well.

  One of the other things the Pagan collective will do is redefine Sabbats and the Esbats as well, maybe we can add some more pagan holidays and events? Though as time wears on also, some pagans really do their own thing and celebrate only what they wish, and their own way which is different now than a few decades ago. I plan to keep yuletide season, not because of the gifts, and decorations but because the light begins to return, and for those in the cold weather you really do feel a kinship with nature about this time of year. Today, it rained all day. It was a drizzly, cold, gloomy, muck. It was perfect. I thought maybe I should record some video with my phone outside of the drizzle, but I didn’t.

  However, being that Lithia is a Midsummer event (originally) and a major sabbat in the summer, (the longest day) and Midwinter, or Yule, being the longest night, why is Yule considered a lesser event than?

  Most of the pagan holidays (old tradition) such as Ostara and Mabon are seen as lesser because they fall on an equinox. (Spring, Fall) and Yule is often treated this way, even though midsummer or Lithia is not. Hmmm. If they are the flipside to one another, and they are, if its Yule in the Northern, then it is Lithia in the southern. One is longest night and longest day. Therefore Yule in the pagan wheel is also an Equinox. I suppose its because its colder. Lithia would be a day long celebration because it is warm and summery.

  However, Yule and Midsummer (Lithia) actually aren’t longer at all. They have shorter sunsets (sun sets at about 8:54 pm) and you will have an earlier sunrise on Yule by about the same margin, which is why pagans say “The light is returning to the Planet.” It also depends on how big the planet is however.

  Well, Blessings anyway!

  Been Live about two weeks 

  I can already see this project lacks willpower. Everyone basically does their own thing anyway, In regards to websites or a coven or circle and bases it just enough on the old creeds of witchcraft to make it be pagan. Most pagans think if they have a blog and twitter, they are successful enough to be themselves and then some have a tarot reading here and there, a new book, some cloaks and or some furniture.

  So with this in mind, I will create some new works, doctrines and I will put myself and my websites under the new pagan community collective which is to be known as NPCC unless I coin a better term, and soon I will add the new doctrines here.

  YOU can still submit things however. I want the public to know that we will always be here so you can ask questions, get advice and even submit your own works, and even experiences.

  We still seek 34 new council members. YOU can apply at any time. You’ll need to submit these questions with answers however (fb group coming for this too)

  1. Name, age, tradition, how long been in paganism, magick.
  2. You basic belief structures.
  3. Bisexual, straight or Gay? Fairness act allows everyone to network regardless of my beliefs.
  4. State/City/Country or Province, phone number for telegram chat.
  5. Do You promise to be active and participate? Chat and Invite others, and submit works?
  6. Are you clergy, in a coven, circle, solitary etc?

  You will need to check in at least once a week and devote at least an hour of your time every day, and then you will have to meet up for chats every bi weekly or month.

  IF you agree to these clauses, submit your works or application here as a reply or in email.

  What the “Pagan Collective” is about, with respect to the beginning 

  This is a Community subject to change. The Mission behind this project is simple: Give pagan members a common ground in which to discuss and affirm new community guidelines, documents, creeds, beliefs and more for a Post Pagan Generation movement.

  We are no longer the Doreen Valiente and Gerald Gardner, Scott Cunningham community where we are afraid to speak the word Satan, and recognize that we are a pagan community in general as a whole just starting out, we have been out for a very long time.

  We seek to propose that a New Council of Pagans, witches and shamans be made, several people recognized for their efforts to sustain a peaceful way of living life for online and offline life, gathers and festivals in addition to stores/shops and services and resources. New Redes, New Charges, written by Pagans like YOU. (Yes, you). These are modern times. Our Paganism Commune needs to be modern as well.

  What we need from you: To get in touch. I created this on ning (and on wordpress) because it has a membership community, become involved and help develop the new pagan generation community project along with me and anyone else joining.

  Fairness Act: All Pagans, even neo, druid, occult, etc Goddess worshipper, celebrator, or non belief in a God/dess may also comment, join and participate, any community may be represented, etc. We also invite any old community pagans still around in to this project as well. Let’s find our common ground. Be fair also – no stealing ideas to make another community from this one. That is bad form.

  • This is not being done so I can be popular/cool/fit in or to gain “traction”.
  • Many people are afraid to offend someone for doing something their own way. Why? The beginning lists poems and guidelines to follow, every webmaster in their own way remakes these rules whenever they create a community, group or circle. This is the same principle.
  • The founders of modern wicca and such would like for us to continue on with their dreams I am sure of it. Why can we not?
  • We are not here to write rules and tell you what to do, we are here to build up our communities rather than split them apart. We have a “body” where we have articles written on what we do, what we don’t do, what we celebrate and how and how we have a ritual or meetup or a gathering and how we do not.
  • We will represent you, and you will represent a more modern community and essays and more can still be written for the modern pagan long after new “Redes” / Charges and more can be chosen.
  • We will always represent and respect the past with a section for foundations on paganism and wicca in the online and offline community.
  • This will help community recognize Elderhood in those who are here and still present and may even garner new respects in those areas.
  • Anyone can be on the Council which is not so much a ruling senate but more of a Presentation to the community as a whole. All you need to to get in touch, join our ning currently as well as follow this blog, submit items and participate in our community, and invite others who you feel may be interested. http://pagancollective.ning.com
  • Please do not join for a negative purpose.

  If you don’t like this idea you are free to pass us on by.
