Pagan Collective Wiki

Welcome to the Pagan Collective Wikia.

We are attempting to re-write paganism and witchcraft basics as we are no longer under the same era as the Gerald Gardner and Doreen Valiente movement of paganism. While we will pay homage and respect to the first steps and roots commended by these people, it is clearly time for change. I decided we needed this change when the current LGBTQ+ Community talked on Wikipedia about how the charge of the goddess, written by Valiente is no more than a poem, in which they stated "Current LGBTQ+ Community recognizes the poem to mean them as well, as woman is to man" as the Charge states "All acts of pleasure are my rituals". In support of LGBTQ+ Community activism. I do not believe this poem meant this sort of community when in references to paganism as a whole, old or new tradition. There were no LGBTQ communes in the 1950's. However there has always been a homosexuality phase in the world.

If you are LGBTQ+ Community and Pagan, Pagan should come first as a person, rather than using the online or offline pagan community to appease your activism. Paganism is spirituality for one's self, regardless if you worship, celebrate a God or Goddess or acts therein or of. The New Pagan Collective Project seeks to let others know even if we write spiritual materials, it is about spirituality first before it is ever about activism. Another reason for writing new materials is the fact that some pagans are still hesitant to say the word "Satan", "Satanism", "The Devil" and so on, even afraid to address Satanism or it's nature. This will be put behind us. Satan is no more a dangerous entity than God is when The Christian God sends storms supposedly to reprimand the sinners of the world. Satan is sent by God in the NT to tempt Christ in the desert, and Jesus supposedly rebukes him, which does not kill Satan. Rebuking is to scold. Nothing more. Satan is also used in Revelation, and it is God's bidding as well. God never slays Satan in the bible. If Satan is so harmful, why would God use them or keep them alive?

Satan is a pagan deity in our works, they are seen as a Justice Totem, and also one of mystery -- To look at a issue in the light and see it's darkness, as well as in darkness to see the light. Satan as a deity is a Guardian of the unknown world and places. Satan can help you see the bigger picture as a God or a Goddess as we see them both as female and male in energy -- not in sexual gender or preference. I have had the misfortune of working with people when pretending to be gay, or even bisexual to get the truth about a person or a issue in my life, and doing so in disguise is known as Guise, which is a glamour of sorts. I was glad I had gone in this direction, because I didn't have to do anything with anyone, just in order to see their true intentions. We placed Satan in the Etruscani - Mede tradios of old Italy. It's up to you how you will work or perceive Satan and just because he/she or they are present does not mean you have to work with them.
