Paganism isn't a specific religion, it's a category of religions... Wicca is a pagan religion, and so is Druidism, and so are native American and Africa religions, etc.

Thanks for a really beautiful post, Kathy.

My now husband and I just stay away from any discussions. He will listen tolerantly while I talk a little about it. I try not to overwhelm him or he might get scared. LOL
Thank Kalera, That's what I was trying to think of. My memory is a spaghetti strainer anymore. lol
Right on. Diana
I sympathize... mine is totally shot too. For some reason I keep thinking it'll get better with time... but it doesn't usually work that way, does it?
-Kalera
Yeah, I introduced mine to the idea slooowly. Luckily, he seems to think it's "neat", so it's all good. I try not to do any moonlit naked bonfire dancing, though!

I don't remember... what do you mean?
-Kalera
I tried it once but he threatened to have me committed. LOL
i would have thought the naked bonfire dances would be a selling point. Diana

I'm not sure he would *mind*... but the neighbors might. Our new back yard doesn't have quite the privacy level I'm used to. :)

In my town we need a permit to have a bonfire, which is sensible, since we have teeny suburban lots. I'd pay to go to the meeting where the naked bonfire dancing permit is discussed. Actually, that would be three permits - "adult entertainment" for the naked part, an open fire permit and a "music and dancing permit" for the dancing.
Depending on how many people you had dancing, you might need to rent a uniformed police officer for the evening as well. He wouldn't be allowed to dance, though.

Have you ever danced around a fire (bon- or otherwise) naked? I'll tell ya -- get a flying ember in the wrong place... major ouch. Besides which, most people don't really need to get naked: I, for one, look much better clothed than not, unless you're really into the "Venus of Willendorf" look.
Considering that my hometown has some flavor of Christian church every half block, and no public adult entertainment to speak of, naked bonfire dances are not held by the shy, overweight, Pagan crowd hereabouts. However, there does seem to be an annual Gaudy Robe Contest every fall. We invade Walmart on Halloween....
