    On Working With Gods & Making Requests Of Them

    As of late there's been a growing tendency within the Online Heathen Community that in essence attempts to shut down prayers made to the gods. People are told that they shouldn't go to a god they don't have a standing relationship with, that it's like asking a complete stranger for things. I've...

    Is magic and worshiping Nature contradictory?

    I see magic (should I write magick?) is most of the time associated with paganism, but I wonder, is magic and worshiping Nature contradictory? Because on one hand you're worshipping Nature and on the other, you make spells to accomplish things trough supernatural means or I could say...
