There were pagans on both sides of the mess in Charlottesville this weekend.

Agree or disagree, they're still our tribe.

As the “Vote No” campaign here in Minnesota—which successfully defeated an anti-marriage equality referendum—proved, the single most effective way to change other people's opinions is by engaging: by getting to know them personally, and by letting them know you.

We're pagans. Whatever our politics, we have certain things in common. We still share a common language.

So here are thirteen questions to ask those pagans on the other side of the hedge.

 

What's your name?

Where are you from?

What flavor pagan are you?

Are you part of a group?

Do you have a family?

Do you have kids?

Where do you live?

What are your interests?

Who's your favorite author?

What was your first pagan book?

Do you go to festivals?

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
