					<description><![CDATA[Whether you count its origins in the pastoral altars of Romantic poets, the channeled voice of the Night Sky herself speaking to a mad sorcerer in Egypt, or the stolen revelations of a secret witch-cult in England--or maybe you don't believe any of those stories--modern Paganism began in protest.  It began with the voices of the heretics.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Gods that I honor most are the ones whose actions I most admire.  So while I don’t believe in codifying them for other people, as my Pagan practice has evolved and changed over time, I’ve learned to look to my Gods for inspiration in ways to behave.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is no figure in modern Heathenry and related traditions that is as controversial as Loki. Many hate and fear him, many love him (and many of those still fear him) and many are adamantly, staunchly indifferent to him, a state of things that reflects well our many understandings of Loki Laufeyson.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Reducing men's or women's experiences to a biological function is a dangerous oversimplification.  There are many folks who wear what one of my friends likes to refer to as Schrodinger's Pants – what is inside them is uncertain and undetermined until they are removed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Poet, wise man, grey-cloaked wanderer, one-eyed, wizard, warrior, king... when I decided to do Odin as my next “Divine Profiles” article, I was overwhelmed. For as much as the Lady is a complex, larger-than-life being, the Allfather has so very many names and stories attached to him that I was afraid that I couldn't do him justice.]]></description>
