I'm a little confused. Your posting in a technopaganism, but your homepage says it's for Wiccan teens to learn more about their faith. Paganism is a huge umbrella, and from my informal observations, the majority of technopagans are not Wiccan.

Are you looking for Wiccan technopagans to write about how they incorporate technology into their belief system? Are you looking for techopagans of other varieties to explain their beliefs to a Wiccan audience?

It's on the internet, so it's 'technopaganism'. Obviously 'technopaganism' refers to putting traditional communication online, as all Pagans are nature-worshipping and couldn't possibly ever integrate technology into their religious practices.

wibble, I was going to comment about you being a pointy, but then I clicked and saw the whole conversation first.

I think I will see if I can find a half hour to write an "about technopaganism" article for her.

Oh, I was being pointy. I'm a pointy sort.

And now that I've matched the usernames I understand why 'technopaganism' made the list of Pagan religions on NFP. Normally you wouldn't expect to see it mentioned.

Oh I'm sorry! I guess I just say the word pagan and assumed this would fit. But now that you mention there is a difference I think that would make a great article! I was hoping that each issue could do a feature of a different sect of paganisms so why not start it off with technopagannism. Any one who would like to give there input would be great! Just send me an email at bell_besom@yahoo.com. Please include your name so I can quote you.

Let's try this again, with formatting - I forgot about LJ's collapsing of spacing ( ... )

This is really great! If you could put this more into a article form and include your name, I could run this in the first issue.
