Call for Writers – Cultural Appropriation in the Neopagan Community
Megalithica Books, an imprint of Immanion Press (Stafford, U.K.), is seeking submissions for a new anthology on the topic of cultural appropriation within the Neopagan community.
For decades, pagans have drawn on cultures from around the world and throughout history as part of our spiritual and magical practices. We
worship deities of cultures both thriving and long gone, we
incorporate tools and regalia into our rituals drawn from other
religions, and rarely is the impact of our borrowing (sometimes
interpreted as theft) questioned or discussed. Cultural appropriation
is the elephant in the room--and it's time to start talking about it.
( More info under the cut )
Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested!
