I certainly see absolutely no angle at which you are being attacked for being solitary.

The fact of the matter is, though, many are not so by choice, primarily because of the reasons I’ve outlined. Not every “solitary” practising pagan has a choice in the matter –many simply have no local community in their tradition, or at least no knowledge of such other people existing. I’m not “solitary” by choice; I’m a Hellenist, and community is important to my religion, but there is no Hellenic polytheist community practice that I’m aware of in my area, and I’ve lived here for years, actively searched, made attempts at gaining the interest of others. The closest people to me are a two hour drive away, and I’m too blind to drive, and they lost their car a couple years ago (last I heard).

I see it as someone respecting my choice.

I dunno, this comic is offensive, and considering that some people are only “solitary” not by choice but by necessity, it’s coming pretty danged close to victim-blaming.

]]> Comment on Killing, Death, Hunting, and Pagans – Editorial by Glen http://pncminnesota.com/2012/12/04/killing-death-hunting-and-pagans-editorial/#comment-6497 Tue, 07 May 2013 10:31:47 +0000 http://pncminnesota.com/?p=8752#comment-6497 I am glad to hear that there are more pagan hunters out there. I sadly know way too many people who hate the idea of hunting and hate those that choose to do so; yet in most cases still eat meat(ironic?). Too much denial exists in our society when it comes to the violence and death that results from our actions and inactions. To live is to kill, plain and simple. This is a HUGE issue that will take MUCH work, in many forms, to remedy.
In terms of hunting though, being the topic of your article; there are definitely changes that need to be made. Starting with taking back what’s left of our culture from corporations and the consumerist $$$ machine. The newest and coolest gizmos and gadgets don’t make a hunter; skills, knowledge, and respect do. Secondly, with little wilderness, and over population of both humans and animals in some areas, we need science based “management.” The biggest bucks or bust mentality doesn’t create healthy herds or a healthy future. And 3rd, being of my opinion, is to put spirituality back into the hunt. as an animist I feel life should be met with respect. Most hunters I have meet that were ethical & respectful were of some actively spiritual path. We shouldn’t let fear of ridicule stop us from embracing a more emotional and meaningful hunt… It’s ok to cry sometimes, man or women.

If you haven’t read ‘em the books *Heartsblood(Peterson)* and In Defense of Hunting(Swan) seem fitting here.
