I ran across an article on the web giving advice to pagans.  It’s called 4 Principles of Pagan Public Relations.  I’m not sure what I think about it, I mean, all the advice is sound.  But it assumes you want to be known and look good to the public.  It’s quite the shift away from the roots of pagan and magical practice which requires secrecy.  Still, you can’t complain that people “get it wrong” when there’s no one out there saying exactly what getting it right is.  So, it’s all coming back to balance. With one hand, we keep the secrets which are sacred to our paths, and honor the rights of those who wish to keep their mundane identities secret.  But with the other, I do think we need to present ourselves to the “public” in an honest way, in order to maintain our right to worship as we choose and not be discriminated against.

Thoughts anyone?
