Hi Sabina,
>>Although I have been critical of Pagan appropriation in other contexts,
I'm with Sam when he says that modern Pagans need to attune to the cycles of
the lands which they inhabit. This doesn't mean appropriating indigenous
ceremonies or passing one's own ceremonies off as indigenous, but noting,
observing and incorporating into one's celebrations the significant seasonal
markers in the places where we live. It seems the least we can do if we
want to call ourselves nature religions (rather than living room carpet
religions).<<
I thoroughly agree with this.
