Our Mission ~ by Jill Fazio

Our mission at Pagan Unity Festival is simple.
To enrich, enlighten and enjoy.
To that end, we live with these pillars of wisdom:

Respect yourself: Everyone likes to have a good time, but keep it clean and modest when in public spaces. This is a family site, even when the sun goes down. Please be appropriate in dress, chivalrous in nature, and as kind to your future self as possible. Think ahead!

Respect each other: Understand that everyone is here for their own experience, and not just to add to yours. This means respect everyone's physical, emotional and spiritual space. If you disagree with another person, allow that and move on. We are generating a spiraled and convoluted web of many different threads, not all of them will be ones you need to connect to personally.

Respect the site: We do not own this space, and we must relate to it with gentle hands and feet. This is not only so we are able to come back, but also because we are enjoying this patch of the earth together, and so we are all responsible. If you see trash or other items on the ground, pick them up and dispose/recycle at the nearest container.

PUF exists for your enjoyment and comfort. By signing a waiver, you agreed to abide by all state, federal, civil laws, festival rules and campground rules. We recognize and honor the divine nature and essential human dignity of all persons, regardless of race, ethnic origin, age, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, religion, disability, economic circumstance, physical appearance, body size, marital status, or military status. We are committed to providing an inclusive and safe environment for everyone. We urge you to respect and honor each person you meet. We take diversity and inclusiveness seriously and won’t tolerate harassment of any kind.

Kindly Pagans, White Supremacists Hold Dueling Gatherings In Southern State Park

The Pagan Unity Festival folks – southern, Pagan, welcoming — weren’t thrilled to share a Tennessee park with white supremacists but they didn’t let it get them down. Image by Courtesy of Pagan Unity Festival

The “New Century Foundation” is a white supremacist “think tank” dedicated to the premise that “race” is a concept with scientific validity (it’s not) and that from that (false) premise follows the notion that these so-called “races” must live separately because some are superior to others.

The Pagan Unity Festival is an annual New Age-type party that’s been happening for 22 years in “the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee.” It’s got workshops, Pagan authors, music, food, rituals, drumming, children’s activities and “FUN.” Join them next year, or the year after — the dates are already set — for some “good old Southern Pagan hospitality!”

You might think never the twain shall meet and you’d usually be right, except that on a recent weekend, they did — in a state park in Tennessee, where both groups had gathered for their annual meetings, according to The Wild Hunt, a website that provides Pagan news and commentary.

Forwarding the News

Thoughtful, balanced reporting from the Forward and around the web, bringing you updated news and analysis of the crisis each day.

To be sure, some pagans might feel right at home at the American Renaissance conference. There’s a stripe of white supremacist who worships Odin and Thor and sees Norse gods as lording it over all the pantheon, because they’re so white. But those pagans are not these pagans.

The Pagan Unity Festival folks are about good vibes and good times. They weren’t thrilled about the proximity of folks they consider Nazis, but weren’t going to let the forces of darkness win by dwelling on them, said Tish Owen, a festival organizer:

“I like to think our peace, love, and light affect their hate. We cannot hide, we must not be fearful. We must let our light shine.”

In addition to educational and spiritual offerings, the Pagan Unity Festival also provides a vibrant social atmosphere. Attendees can engage in networking, forge new friendships, and connect with like-minded individuals who share similar beliefs and interests. Many participants describe the festival as a transformative and empowering experience, where they feel accepted and supported in their pagan journey.

One of the highlights of the festival is the community rituals, which bring together pagans from all traditions to collectively honor and invoke the divine. These rituals often reflect a particular theme or focus, such as the changing seasons, ancestral veneration, or the celebration of specific deities. Participants can actively participate in these rituals, offering their energy and intentions to the communal spiritual experience. The Pagan Unity Festival also emphasizes environmental stewardship and sustainability. Many festivals are held outdoors in natural settings, allowing participants to connect with the land and experience the sacredness of nature. Eco-friendly practices are encouraged, such as reducing waste, using reusable materials, and respecting the natural surroundings. Overall, the Pagan Unity Festival serves as a significant gathering for pagans to come together, learn, and celebrate their shared spiritual practices. It offers a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals to explore their beliefs, deepen their understanding, and connect with others who walk a similar path. The festival is a testament to the diversity and unity within the pagan community, and a reminder of the power of coming together to celebrate and honor the sacred..

Reviews for "Pagan Unity Festivals and the Celebration of Feminine Spirituality"

1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited to attend the Pagan unity festival, but I left feeling disappointed. The organization of the event was chaotic, and it seemed like there was barely any planning put into it. The workshops and presentations were not well-prepared and lacked substance. Additionally, the overall atmosphere was not welcoming or inclusive. I expected to feel a sense of unity and connection with fellow pagans, but instead, I felt alienated and out of place. I wouldn't recommend this festival to others.

2. Mark - 1 star - The Pagan unity festival was a complete letdown. Firstly, the location was poorly chosen. It was difficult to find and lacked proper facilities like clean restrooms and comfortable seating areas. Moreover, the event schedule was all over the place, with overlapping workshops and overlapping time slots. It was impossible to attend everything I wanted without having to miss out on other interesting activities. The overall vibe of the festival felt disorganized and uninspiring. I wouldn't waste my time or money on this event again.

3. Sarah - 3 stars - I attended the Pagan unity festival expecting a unique experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While there were a few interesting workshops, most of them lacked depth and were basic introductions to topics I was already familiar with. Furthermore, the vendors were limited in variety and their products were overpriced. The sense of community that I anticipated was also missing, as there was a lack of opportunities for interaction and meaningful discussions. Overall, I found the festival to be average at best, and I wouldn't go out of my way to attend it again.
