What does it mean when political extremism becomes normalized? Does the media accurately convey the seriousness of climate change to the public?

It's all this and more for the Pagan News Beagle!
My apologies to Anne and the crew at Witches and Pagans for being absent for awhile. I started several pieces--one of which is polished and ready to publish, but it still sits in my draft-box.

One of the funnest parts of being in a community is celebrating with friends and family. This week for Watery Wednesday we take a look at festivals, gatherings, and all the other ways communities come together to celebrate something.
