Paganistan: Notes from the Secret Commonwealth
In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
The Social Imperative of the Sabbat
In the topsy-turvy world of the Sabbat, the witch returns to the Dreamtime, in which all social norms are overturned.
At the Sabbat, there are no distinctions of “race,” of sex, of class, of gender.
At the Sabbat, all are equal.
At the Sabbat, if nowhere else, we encounter full social equality.
The stories of those early American Sabbats tell of indigenous, colonial, and enslaved all coming together to dance as one: red, white, black, all equal.
The Sabbat dreams of a new world, a world (as in the beginning) of radical equality.
The Sabbat embodies this dream.
In fact, the Sabbat predicts it.
This is the witch's social imperative.
This is the will of the Horned, Lord of the Sabbat.
