Shamanism Course Offered Online Through The Ulc Seminary By: Eileen Smith | - I am not a shaman. I can never really be a shaman. In my opinion, there are two approaches to shamanism.

The first of these approaches is rather easy one puts ones mind to it, one does the research, and finally one obtains the knowledge and/or understanding. The latter of the two is much more difficult: how d ... Tags:universal church, universal life church, ulc, religion, advice, spirituality, spiritual development, shamanism, paganism

Mother Nature And Blood Mysteries By: Roberta Cantow | - It can be challenging to be a woman in a male dominated society, as is the process of becoming a woman. Its one thing to acknowledge the creativity of an artist or the architect, but quite another when the very act of creating life is dismissed. And while we may pay lip service to our love of nature, things such as traditions, customs and pre-existing religious practices interfere with an ability to acknowledge or embrace the true nature of woman.

Ban The Burqa, The Hijab And The Niqab By: C. Read | - There are many good reasons to ban the moving bed sheet attire, apparently so deeply coveted as status symbols by Muslim women. Even if one is dubious of Islam's claim that its women really do like looking like unmade gliding beds, there are societal and cultural reaons why the Hijab should be banned. In short banning the Burqa, the Hijab and the Niqab would ban Islam's direct and anti-social assualt on Western values.
