Spirit of Place by Glen Fishbowl
I wrote this speech for The Unitarian Universalist Church of the Paluse, in Moscow Idaho, and gave it on Sunday the 3rd of August 2008- Glen Fishbowl
When I was younger I had a deep interest in the traditions and narratives of the People of Great Britain, where the majority of my bloodline originated from. With help of a friend well versed in Celtic studies, I examined the remaining narratives of the Celtic-Britons preserved in the Mabinigion and the poems of Taliesin the bard. With a basic understanding of the older Welsh dialect which these narratives… Read more »

Moving from Shaman to Animist Healer
As many of us know the term or label Shaman has become a loaded subject, a humpty dumpty word, and a term clouded with so many personal definitions and political associations that to utilize the word is an invitation to an extremely difficult discourse. I have mentioned before the need to revisit the original etymology of the word shaman and work from there. If we closely examine the word we see that it means “ one who knows” and as I pointed out previously here and the back yard shamanry page, it would seem that the distinction is that a… Read more »

First Earth
This movie is amazing. I want to highly recommend it to those who are interested in natural living as well as natural building. It has so much passion, and really drives you to realize the importance of taking that step into natural building.
To view clips of the movie see here:

Gift culture
This is the point I was trying to get too with the last videos of Rojo, I had never heard of this work before it really fills in the blanks! Wonderful!
I believe gift culture may very well be the only way we as animists can interact… its integral to animism in so many ways!
this is the first video in a series found here…

Living animism
Cruising around online I found this video series by Brooke Medicine Eagles group. I have not really been a fan of Brooke Medicine Eagle, and she has gotten quite a bit of flack over the years by Native Americans as a cultural appropriator ect… but as the old saying goes judge people by their deeds, their actions, (unless your into the ol non-judgment thing) and in keeping that in mind I can’t help but apriciate that though these folks have gotten some flack as new agey folks selling native ways, they are walking their talk. These people are living animism.… Read more »

The silliness of “isms”
I wrote my first post on the post paganism blog in a long time. If your interested in nature based religion and spiritual practice and have an interest in paganism, give the post paganism site a look see. I started the site originally as a bioregional paganism site, continuing the work done here to that work. Glen aka Fishbowl has been insightful enough to rename the site post paganism, and has taken on the site as his personal project. A much needed endeavor I might add! And a real hornets nest of a topic as well!
In the article I challenge… Read more »

Well, this is some of what has been going thru my head and life lately. I have been pondering why a spiritual practice seems like work, or something done at special times, or under certain circumstances. And what I have been coming to (and this is just my perspective) is that the reason for this, this disconnect, is that a large amount of our communities base their spiritual practice on something from… Read more »
