¶ Attention Kemetic reconstructionists<\/a>: Don’t let your temple-builders become anemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n ¶ A list of things that offend Muslims<\/a>. Anyone want to try the Pagan equivalent?

We prefer to just make fun of it<\/a>.<\/p>\n ¶ This will go onto my must-see list: Jason Pitzl-Waters notes an upcoming movie about the philosopher Hypatia<\/a>. An uncompromising Neoplatonist<\/a>, from what I understand, she was murdered by a Christian mob after some bishop put out a fatwa against her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back from a week on the road to a full inbox and a desk covered with bills to pay, I offer a few links for your kind attention: ¶ Attention Kemetic reconstructionists: Don’t let your temple-builders become anemic. ¶ A list of things that offend Muslims.
