uhm, pardon me, but...
Uhm, I think there's a little confusion here... Since I am the one who started this little blog carnival may I set the record straight? It's not about claiming that any of these values are intrinsically Pagan, its about pointing out that the many Pagan paths have them, that Virtues and Values and Ethics are not somehow the sole province of any one group or religion.

I thought you might be interested in the original text...

"Dear Pagani,

I have decided that I am tired at how some factions within other spiritual and faith traditions talk and act as if they have a monopoly on values and virtue and ethics.

Therefore I am issuing a call and a challenge to my fellow Pagan netizens…

In June the sun is at it’s height in the Northern Hemisphere and nearly hidden from view in the Southern Hemisphere. Midsummer and Yule, festivals of fire and of light.

Let us then use our hearts and minds and words, invoking the fires of inspiration; let us write of the virtues and ethics and morals and values we have found in our Pagan paths, let us share how we carry these precious things forward in our own lives and out into the world.

Join me, in the month of June 2009 in writing about Pagan values."

This blog carnival is also about encouraging discussion and community and thought within the Pagan movement. I do hope you will reconsider and share some of your thoughts on these matters, and perhaps revel in some of the excellent articles already posted.

Peace,
Pax
