Integrational Polytheism

Finally! Here it is! the “sacred” book of Integrational Polytheism.

Actually, the main content of this little document is the content of this website as it was until recently. I’ve archived all the Integrational Polytheism material from this site, added some extra comments and put them all in this one file, which you can download here. Enjoy!

Happy Christmas, War is Over

As you read this, Christmas has probably already passed. I know how boring it is to read about Christmas in January, or February, or July even. Christmas is not high on most people’s priority list at any time of the year other than at Christmas in fact. Nevertheless, as i write this article, it is the 23rd of December and everybody seems to be full of the Christmas spirit. Ho ho ho!

It’s a funny old thing though, isn’t it? I am not a Christian as you know, and i have a feeling that most people in this country are not Christians. To me, Christmas is a Christian festival, right? Maybe not. A colleague of mine at work is a muslim, and comes from an extended muslim family. I told her i didn’t celebrate Christmas as i wasn’t Christian and she said she didn’t celebrate it either… but that it wouldn’t be the same without a Christmas dinner with the family! Earlier today i was buying a packet sandwich in a plastic box and the guy behind the counter (a middle Asian chap, don’t get me wrong but i think it’s more likely he would have been Muslim, Hindu or atheist, in that order, than that he would have been a Christian) wished me a happy Christmas! Why? What makes dozens of people i hardly (or in some cases don’t at all) know want to wish me a happy Christmas? (more…)

I have, in no particular order, a list of websites that i think people might find interesting. I find them interesting, and all of them have some connection to Integrational Polytheism in my mind. I’d recommend at least a quick visit to each of them. (more…)

Over the Summer Solstice 2003, i was in Orkney so on the longest night i hoofed it out to the Ring of Brodgar, which is a stone age circle of standing stones between the two lochs in Stenness, and while there i took a few photos. On the way i took a photo of the Standing Stones of Stenness too, which is another stone age circle of stones that is much smaller (The Stones of Stennes had only 12 stones originally, while the Ring of Brodgar had 60).
