    Mine is Pan. I have been drawn to such images for as long as I can remember. He is associated with wild places, which I love, so that may have something to do with it.

    What Holidays Do You Look Forward To?

    You touch upon something special to me here. This is a great example of how food can be beautiful and meaningful. In scenarios such as you describe here, food can be a large part of the story of not only where we are but who we are and from where we came.

    Bad News

    Three years on, an update. I have just received info that the Findhorn Foundation is to sell its premises at Cluny Hill (pictured below). I knew this would happen, there was no viable alternative but it still feels like a kick in the teeth. Since the fire and lockdown, the Foundation went into...

    Childhood stories survey in games'n jokes

    When I started school I remember the teacher used to read to us each day and I loved this. I recall listening to Babar the Elephant from this time and Brer Rabbit too. I do not recall anybody reading to me at home. I was a quick learner with reading and still remember the first book.

    What Holidays Do You Look Forward To?

    I mentioned the Wheel of the Year. I love the art and symbolism associated with this. Here are two of my favourites.

    What Holidays Do You Look Forward To?

    In general the holidays are not a big thing for me although I am a member of a group which celebrates those on the 'wheel of the year.' However I once joined with a large group of people for what I can only describe as a mind blowing Samhain celebration. There was wild dancing, story telling...

    Woman says legacy restaurants are closing because nobody will work for them

    A very good point and one that illustrates the use of language in such situations. When workers withdraw their labor, they are on "strike". From my British experience harsher language is often used. Especially by the media. "Wreckers" and "holding the country to ransom" were popular headlines at...

    Freedom of Speech

    Well said, we ignore this issue at our peril. Sadly this goes beyond just speech. Not long ago a terrorist was arrested in my home city. As soon as the police arrived, he was yelling "I know my human rights". A courtesy not extended to his victims. As Christine has made clear in post 2...

    One God or many gods

    Very true. The biblical god certainly seems to be somewhat anti-social.

    President Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday As Transgender Day Of Visibility

    I am so sorry to read about the hurtful way that you have been treated. Clearly, Christian love is absent and respect for democracy is seriously lacking. You have to wonder what they think is left for Trump to defend?

    President Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday As Transgender Day Of Visibility

    Aha, now we are getting somewhere - it is all a Marxist conspiracy. A few questions if I may. Have you ever read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky or even Proudon, Bakunin Kropotkin or Chomsky. I hope so because then you could point out where this diabolic transexual scheme fits into the class war...

    President Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday As Transgender Day Of Visibility

    Well if the leaders of governments are burning the midnight oil tonight, I strongly suspect that it is not about egg-rolling or the lack of. I hope they think some things are much more worrying. https://www.stophateuk.org/about-hate-crime/transgender-hate/...

    President Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday As Transgender Day Of Visibility

    This is starting to make me so ------ angry. I don't care what you believe, I hope it makes you happy. There are two vital and important facts IMO. First, No book has ever been proven to be the word of God. Secondly, Nobody has even proved the existence of God/Gods. So whatever you believe, it...

    President Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday As Transgender Day Of Visibility

    So the answer is, for people to act like something that they are not and to live a lie. Honesty seems to be rather low on your list of spiritual priorities.

    My New Flock

    That is a great decision, I hope all goes well. My dream is a house in the country where I would keep chickens and a beehive.

    Pagan Path Poll

    I chose Druid but the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path and meditation are important to me as well. I am seriously considering adding Shamanism to the mix also.

    Infiltrating a Far-Right, Christian Nationalist, Megachurch Conference (3 posts long)

    If you read the definition from Wikipedia below, I think that you will find that @F1fan's statement is entirely in accordance with socialist principles. The fact that others may attempt to implement such policies does not change this. Left-wing politics describes the range of political...

    It is not referring to you. The previous post, which you ignored, was.

    Infiltrating a Far-Right, Christian Nationalist, Megachurch Conference (3 posts long)

    The offered advice is I suspect that you know a lot more about men who wear women's clothes than you do about politics.

    Reincarnations

    I thought we were in games, pics and jokes. It is getting increasingly hard to tell the difference around here lately.
