PaganNewsBeagle Magical Monday April 6

Howdy Beagle fans! Today we've got an installment of our occasional Magickal Monday series, in which we bring you stories of witchcraft, conjure, and all kinds of magick! A new shrine for Marie Laveau; the link between Voudou and traditional Haitian foods; L Ron Hubbard: magician?; capitalist magic?; garden magic for spring.

In light of the recent restrictions on visiting her tomb, the unveiling of a new shrine dedicated to Marie Laveau in New Orleans is cause for celebration for many.

This post describes the links between Voudou and traditional Haitian foods, as well as commenting on the legacy of colonialism (past and present) and its affect on Voudon practice.

Want to get fired up? In today's fiery Tuesday, the Pagan News Beagle we cover lots designed to get you active! The Atlantic compares Ebola to witches; Halloween under attack; Voodou amusement park ride; Max Dashu disputes history of the Burning Times; the occult made rock-n-roll.

 It's Fiery Tuesday and we've got Pagan activist news for you!

When Americans talk about science vs religion, what they usually mean is "Christianity vs Science." In this article, NPR asks whether broadening the debate to include non-Abrahamic faiths would change the conversation. http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2014/07/13/329759036/science-vs-religion-beyond-the-western-traditions
