    What is Bioregional Animism?
    What is Bioregional Animism?
    Posted by: Copperwoman on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 05:00 PM
    Wiccan & Pagan Interest Bioregional Paganism is a relational ontology based upon the instinct of the Neo-paganism movement. We attempt to find our place as dwellers in the land, as people of the country... "To become “dwellers in the land,” to regain the spirit of the Greeks, to fully and honestly come to know the earth, the crucial and perhaps only and all-encompassing task is to understand the place, the immediate, specific place, where we live: Schumacher says, “In the question of how we treat the land, our entire way of life is involved.” We must somehow live as close to it as possible, be in touch with its particular soils, its waters, its winds. We must learn its ways, its capacities, its limits. We must make its rhythms our patterns, its laws our guide, its fruits our bounty.

    The original meaning of 'pagan' - ' an inhabitant of a particular place' - has encouraged a new focus on locality in modern paganism. A classical pagan was someone who belonged, some one who celebrated where they lived, someone who knew their local shrines, springs, hills, trees and neighbours, and could trace their decent from local ancestors. These pagans lived in both urban and rural places; the important thing was belonging to an area."
