The daily lives of most of us are full of things that keep us busy and preoccupied with mundane concerns. We miss the sacred, so every now and then we find ourselves drawing-back and wondering what is it all about.

Dear Friends: I just finished intensive studies in pastoral care and counseling and believe now more than ever, that the last thing we all need is to only attend "church" as it has developed over the years. Although I am the Senior pastor at a wonderful church on the West side of Manhattan in the West Village, I really enjoy sitting together in s a small group. Perhaps sitting in a pew is not the enemy, however, I have found that sitting together in small groups and sharing with each other vario …

A group for Pagans, polytheists, occultists, and others, of many different paths and all genders, who revere Lilith as a Goddess. For most of the past few thousand years, Lilith was regarded as a demoness and nothing more. In the 20th century, She was reclaimed by some Pagans and feminists as a more positive figure, representing female independence, sexuality, and vehement opposition to tyranny. Some other modern occultists revere Her simply as a chthonic figure, rather than as a revolutionary. …

The majority of us have either left or were turned away from mainstream relig …

All of us are spiritual. Yes, it's true: We were all born with this innate gift. We are spiritual even when we think are not being spiritual. Because spirituality is life and life is spiritual. Sometimes you feel the gifts, and sometimes you feel the work that should be done. So what is the ultimate goal of spirituality? It is to be blissfully happy and healthy as our unique selves. It is to become conscious and consciousness. It is to live in balance: where ever we live, who ever we are and in …
