Welcome to Project X13

Project X13 is a Pagan / Neo-Pagan / Heathen educational and networking community covering Paganism, Neo-Paganism, Currently practiced Indigenous religions, and Heathenry.
I believe that there is a lot of knowledge being lost out there, as well as quite a bit of disinformation.
Project X13 is my attempt to save as much of that knowledge as I can, while weeding through the disinformation..

Towards that goal I have searched the internet for Pagan Documentries, provided spaces for each member to have their personal blog, as well as allowing our members to start and run their own Groups.

I have also posted some of my essays, along with those of others that were considerate enough to allow them to be posted on other websites, however I am still looking for people to write essays on related subjects.

One of the other new aspects of Project X13 is the Music section, where one can post Pagan / Neo-Pagan / Heathen music videos from YouTube.
The concept behind this is to use the bardic arts to teach each other about our true histories and cultures.
The Irish have a saying:
The conquerors write the history, the conquerored write the songs.
Only by using both the songs/oral history as well as documented history can we get the larger picture.

I envision Project X13 as becoming an online library of all the Pagan, Neo-Pagan, Heathen. and currently practiced Indigenous religions, an effort to keep what we have left, not just here in the US, but the minority religions worldwide.

Please come share and explore, and course you can invite all your friends!

Russian protesters say factory to pollute world's oldest lake

Russian protesters say factory to pollute world's oldest lake

MOSCOW – Hundreds of people protested on Sunday in Moscow against the reopening of a factory environmentalists say will lead to waste being dumped into the world's oldest lake, a Greenpeace activist said.

"The fate of (factory) workers must be decided while taking into account the fate of (Lake) Baikal -- and not that of the oligarchs," Russian writer Valentin Rasputin said in a message read out during the protest.

Greenpeace activist Evgeny Usov put the number of protesters at nearly 1,000.

The cellulose factory, on the shores of Lake Baikal in Siberia, was closed in October 2008, but Prime Minister Vladimir Putin authorised its reopening earlier this year.

Milwaukee Ostara Festival, March 28

Greetings all,
I know this event may be a bit far for some of you, but the Milwaukee Pagan
Unity Council (MPUC) has been working their cottontails off on this event
and I thought I'd share this great resource.

MPUC really has their act together as a Pagan resource--they've been a 501c3
tax exempt not for profit for years, their board has elections every 2 years
to rotate who has power, and their bylaws help to ensure leadership
accountability and group safety. The board and volunteers work hard to make
MPUC serve the Pagan the community.

This event has presenters from Chicago, throughout Wisconsin, and the
current ADF Vice Arch Druid. The festival has 3 tracks of workshops all day,
plus a children's track with kids activities, rituals, and workshops. ADF
will host the opening ritual and I'll be hosting the closing ritual in the
ecstatic participatory style. It's free to attend, though donations are
accepted.
