I spent a good hour this morning trying to explain Paganism to a Christian today (found the post through random tag surfing). Haven’t done that in a while. I think I got a bit rambly. I’m not sure if I know how to cut it down to the short and sweet points anymore.
It got me to thinking about articles that need writing, and things that might be publishable to print magazines. A good and thorough look at Pagan spirituality in contrast to mainstream beliefs would probably find a home in one of our local lifestyle magazines.
A good long rant about how Eclectism isn’t a sin would probably be good for online publication. That one could be a bit of a powder keg, so it might take a while to get the words properly polished.
I have a couple of old article ideas that are still waiting for me to actually write them out. With Tara and Stonehenge being in the news so much lately, I should probably get my ‘Sacred Sites’ article together. Also, I’d like to write out my ‘Glamour’ article.
I think that when I first came up with the idea for ‘Galmour’ it was going to just be a rant about what Western society does to a woman’s self image, and it probably still will be, but I do have a bit of a passion for style and colour and to a lesser degree, make-up. What I need to decide is how to break it into two articles that don’t contradict each other.
I’m not really sure if my style of writing is something that would work on Rending the Veil. Most of what I write are opinion pieces. I would probably be a great columnist 😉
Well, I guess we will see what the day brings.
