Conversations are finally happening on white dominance and racism in Pagan Community (!) and Pegi Eyers was selected as a contributor to Bringing Race to the Table: Exploring Racism in the Pagan Community. Adding to the dialogue on cultural appropriation, her essay "Beyond the Pale: Lifting IK* and Inventing Identity" traces the misguided assumption of native identity by non-natives, and the appropriation of First Nations cultural and spiritual property as an ongoing practice in Pagan and New Age Community.
With contributors from every corner of the Pagan world, Bringing Race to the Table is an anthology that explores how racism appears and what we can do about it. Section 1, POC Experiences with Racism shares candid stories of how people of color have experienced racism in both subtle and overt forms. Section 2, Historical/Mythological Racism focuses on how racism has appeared in historical contexts, as well as how it continues to show up in subcultures today. The final section, Being an Ally focuses on shared suggestions and ideas on how white people can be better allies to people of color, and how to be more aware of racism in both the Pagan and mainstream communities. Bringing Race to the Table is a step in the right direction for creating the equity that will lead to equality in our time. Available from the publisher Immanion Press >here< and from Amazon >here< * IK - Indigenous Knowledge |

"The Tenets of Goddess Spirituality (and a Cautionary Tale)"
|
|
"The Tenets of Goddess Spirituality (and a Cautionary Tale)" an essay by Pegi Eyers appears in the anthology She Rises: Why Goddess Feminism, Activism, and Spirituality? This collective writing project charts the game-changing rise of feminism, Goddess Spirituality and Matriarchal Studies in our time, and although the tenets for Goddess Spirituality are not universal, in her essay Pegi outlines a set of common beliefs and values. As new movements, Goddess Feminism and Matriarchal Studies are not without their challenges however, and "The Tenets of Goddess Spirituality (and a Cautionary Tale)" addresses the very real problem of cultural appropriation. Read an excerpt from the essay >here<
