One year ago, a thoroughly delightful fellow named B.T. Newberg started the Humanistic Paganism website. Originally envisioned as a place for Newberg to share his own thoughts and feelings on the marriage of a humanistic worldview with a neo-Pagan practice, HP has blossomed into an amazing community of non-deistic Pagans of all stripes to share ideas and stories about how we perceive and act in the world. The conversations are sometimes contentious and challenge our growing edges, but they are always enlightening in one way or another, and I am honored to have been a contributor to the site on two occasions.

To celebrate the site’s first year, Newberg has collected the year’s postings–essays, interviews, polls, and community fora–into an ebook entitled Year One: A Year of Humanistic Paganism. I am proud to have my two essays included in this work. It is a lovely and thought-provoking work, essential for anyone interested in what Newberg calls “the marriage of science and myth”, spiritual seekers, or anyone looking for a new set of lenses for viewing the world.

Happy reading!
