The Astounding Pagan Revival
Really, in the long history of human religion, the Pagan Revival has got to be one of the most surprising—and unforeseen—developments of all.
One of the things that's most amazing about it is that, as a mass movement, the Revival Paganisms are largely composed of—and driven by—individual choices made by isolated individuals across the world.
Without benefit (for the most part) of personal or social pressure, people have again and again thought—and felt—their way back into the Old Ways. One by one, we look at ourselves and we say: I am pagan. Every day, it happens again. It's happening to someone even as you read this.
In the history of human religion, such a thing is utterly unprecedented.
My friends, something new, and deeply beautiful, is happening in the world.
It's happening because of you.

"The Religions of Yes." Anthony, that's brilliant.
I plan to mention your name whenever I use the phrase, which I suspect will be frequently.

Unlike the twin monoliths of fundamentalism and materialism paganism offers an alternative that says yes to life and all it's experiences. Yes to joy, yes to sorrow, yes to work and yes to leisure, yes to dreams and yes to the waking world, yes to all life has to offer.
