I have seen this PDF and have been less than impressed. Here are a couple of snapshots. .

Strange, but I had never really thought about this, but yes it does play a role. I once attended a Pagan Samhain celebration. There was a huge bonfire. After an earlier session of very wild dancing, to go outside and sit staring at the flames while drummers kept up a background rhythm was an...

I have always liked Lindisfarne and Steeleye Span. I still often listen to Fighting for Strangers. It never fails to send a shiver down my backbone.

I do not know much about the Chieftains but thanks for the link. I can see how that could be very moving. I have always loved O'Sullivans March.

@Thomas were/are you a fan of Fairport Convention by any chance? A friend, appalled by my ignorance, took me home and played the album "Liege and Leaf". A life-changing event. That was fifty years ago, and I still listen to it. The tracks Tam Lin and Matty Groves can almost bewitch me.

I am very grateful for your latest crush. Because of it, I found this little gem earlier today.

The theme song from the Detectorists has become a favourite of mine too.

I loved this series. I binge-watched the whole lot twice. The video clip that you posted is one of my favourites. I love the scene where ghosts of the past walk across the field.

This version is very similar.

Since my early childhood, nature, woods and seashore in particular, have given me rather strange feelings. Feelings which I now consider to be spiritual. I have never managed to put my feelings into words, but these four lines from Byron get quite close. There is a pleasure in the pathless...

One must ask how literally the Buddha expected such advice to be followed? Even with modern publications and online resources, several subjects on this list could be a lifetimes work. In general, though, I believe it to be good advice. It would seem that the Buddha realised that to find...

I do not need to show you any evidence. You have stated that "there is no possibility of any gods". I say that god/s are a logical possibility. Can you prove otherwise?

Some years ago, I read a book about possession. The author concluded that there were three types, and gave examples. First was possession by the spirit of a dead person. Secondly, there is a form of mind control by a living person and finally possession by creatures that have never normally...

That is a very bold statement. It is one that even Richard Dawkins does not accept. I hope you can back this up.

Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, British Druidic Order. Me too. The old one was a great big ramshackle place of a forum and was fun to explore.

Oh, I don't know, it is after all the basis of the trial by jury system.

I have been thinking long and hard on the subject of gaining and retaining members, and I have not had any bright ideas. My main conclusion is that it is not really a good time for spiritual/religious forums and may never be. In the last few years, three Pagan forums that I joined have gone...

So why don't you think that the creator chose evolution to do the job?

Sorry to read that Cino is unwell, I was wondering what had happened to him. Does anybody remember Ella S? In her short time here she made some amazing contributions IMO. I miss both of them.

I read "Perennial Philosophy" by Arthur Versluis. I found it to be a decent introduction.
