Epic Pagan movie!

Pagan movie night will now be more like  “movies pagans like” due to the limited nature of true Pagan movies. This week we will be watching “The Halloween Tree” at Old main rm 115 ( or very close to there) on campus.

Please check this location for more information.

Practicing pantheism might seem a little far-fetched with such a generic “nature is god” mentality. If you are interested in following this route, however, you are not excluding the practice of other pagan faiths or of a spiritual experience at all. There are many doors still open for religious practice under the pantheist umbrella.

Your goal is to establish a relationship with the divine, and thus with the universe. If you believe  or are interested in pantheism, there must also be a desire for harmony with nature. If we can understand our place in the universe, the bonds between ourselves and the cosmos are wound tighter and true knowledge can come much easier.

Humanity and the world around it operates as a mere piece of the overall puzzle and everything operates within natural cycles. My goal as a pantheist is to practice respect for and celebration within nature and the universe.

Having such knowledge can also provide psychological relief during stressful periods of our lives and we can support each other as aspects of the overall divine.

“Pantheistic ceremonies are similar to pagan ones. We celebrate special moments of powerful connection between ourselves and nature, between ourselves and the dynamic solar system. We celebrate the daily rising and setting of the sun, the monthly phases of the moon and tides, the annual solar cycle of the solstices and equinoxes. When skies are clear, we also celebrate the annual showers of shooting stars, the Perseids and the Geminids.” [Source]

Meditation is the most common tool for getting in touch with the divine universe. This is not something that is peculiar to pantheism, as many [it could be argued all] religions utilize this tool to help members find their inner peace and balance. Meditation should be used to experience the world outside of your own mind while you unite yourself with nature. Meditation is not something that can be performed once, nor does a person become a master of meditation overnight.

The best explanation for a mystical connection to the universe would be in the abandonment of your personal identity and a merge with the entire range of the divine. You want to allow yourself to become a vehicle for overall conception of reality, as just a single piece within the entire whole.

You can meditate in any number of ways outside in nature or within the confines and safety of your own home. It can be achieved at any time, by any person. Once you are able to forge a connection with the universe as a whole the experience is repeatable. Training is not necessary but a sense of devotion to maintaining that connection is recommended.
