PaganNewsBeagle Fiery Tuesday July 8
In today's fiery Tuesday, lots of contraception-related news, teaching sex magick, and modern witch hunts. Read on!
Thought that deadly witchhunts went out of style centuries ago? Think again: this NYTimes story details the modern -- and very deadly -- phenomenon of lynching accused witches. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/05/opinion/the-persecution-of-witches-21st-century-style.html?ref=international&_r=1
Sex magick used to be a popular part of the Craft. Now, it's rare and somewhat taboo. Sable Aradia explores why, in this Patheos Pagan article. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/agora/2014/07/seekers-and-guides-a-sticky-subject-teaching-sex-magick-part-one/
Loads of reflection on the Supreme Court "contraception vs. religion" cases:
Yup, it's not over: next up for SCOTUS are dozens of religious non-profits eager to test the limits of the HobbyLobby case.

Tired of #HobbyLobby? Get ready for Wheaton College, where filing the form to be exempt from ObamaCare contraception mandate is considered a sin. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/07/supreme-court-wheaton-college_n_5564125.html?&ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000055
Are the divisive culture wars focusing on personal morality (contraception, LGBT marriage etc) pushing young people away from organized religion altogether? Some polling seems to suggest that the religious right is winning legal battles, but losing the "hearts & minds" war, especially among younger Americans.
