Pagan Bloggers with Naturalistic Worldviews
The world has the novel coronavirus. The pandemic is serious, spreading, and causing major disruption. Many of us have been sent home from work, hopefully to work remotely but, for the less fortunate, simply to tough it out.

Hello, Atheopagans. By now, everyone knows about the novel coronavirus, CORVID-19. It’s spreading rapidly and it has killed more than 3,800 people worldwide as of this writing.

Pantheacon, the largest indoor gathering of Pagans in North America, is no more. For a variety of reasons, Glenn Turner, the organizer, has decided to close it down and is retiring. I have been associated with PCon for a very long time. I attended the first one (I think), and have been to most of … Continue reading The Last Pantheacon, and What’s Next
