Wat als we magie niet langer zien als de achterlijke voorloper van de wetenschap, maar als een andere, minstens zo waardevolle manier van denken? Precies wat we nodig hebben, nu de afstand tussen de mens en de wereld groter wordt. Verbinding, vervlechting, contact: magie. @bregjehofstede.bsky.social

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Na een lange en chaotische avond, stemde de Tweede Kamer voor de asielwetten van minister Faber.

Het wordt zélfs strafbaar om ongedocumenteerde mensen te helpen met onderdak, een maaltijd of kleding.

Help ons dit beleid tegen te houden, teken én deel de petitie:

Stop de asielwetten! Deze wetten van het kabinet Wilders-Yesilgöz zijn asociaal, onverantwoord en onmenselijk. Teken de petitie en hou ze tegen.

Happy #summersolstice! A find of a solar observatory in the Netherlands indicates that at least some ancient people observed the same dates as are celebrated in the contemporary #Wiccan wheel of the year, including #midsummer! #pagansky #heathensky #witchsky
Possible ancient precursor to the Wiccan wheel of the year? Also, happy summer solstice!
Since my visit to the Bronze Age exhibition in Leiden last winter, I’m adding some new information about this era to my website. One very interesting subject is a relatively new find of the s…

A recent worldwide survey from the Pew Research Center showed that beliefs that align with pagan beliefs are (slightly) on the rise worldwide. Think of the idea that spirits reside in nature, or that there can be life after death. The Netherlands was one of the countries interviewed. #pagansky
