A proposal for Neo-Pagan seminary and sponsership. While this concept was given by an anonymous poster, I stand 100% behind it. This proposal is the near perfect written form for all of my hopes, dreams and college asperations. The idea of pagan-seminary is not a new idea, and I easily know that I am not the only one. Sad thing is, this dream and I dea I tried to stir support for in my own community died quickly when I tried to get people to rally behind it. The pagans I had spread word to in my commnity stood for it but others in power and government would not, laughing at my attempts to make this proposal a reality. Even some of the colleges I tried to talk to about this only looked at me with a side-long glance, like I was crazy for even thinking this.
I do not see the reason why this concept should fall by the wayside and why private groups or government groups cannot offer aid to such students. I am not alone, nor am I truly one of a few. I have heard voices speaking up all across the country and even in other countries, wishing to have a program or programs such as these. The silence is here to be broken, and the ringing of one voice shall be joined by others. I say to any and all who read this, who support and think why not, to stand behind this cause. If a Catholic, a Hasidic Jew, a Sunni, A Buddhist or a Sikh can have such open and funded for them, why not have such a program for us pagans. We are not few, we are not small and with this we can truly show you our voice. Not in some tyrannical oppressive speach or inviolent actions against others...but in a peaceful way, a proper way and a way that speaks to all our brethren and sisters.
The age of isolation; of covens, circles, and clans hidden away as small little islands is needed to end. It is time for all of us pagan teachers and thinkers to step fully out and reveal the world OUR thoughts. It is our right.
