By: Central New Jesey Pagan Pride Project, Inc Central New Jersey’s local event is affiliated with the Pagan Pride Project, a global organization whose mission is to reduce discrimination against Pagan religions, and promote tolerance by providing accurate information, and by showing communities that their own neighbors and co-workers practice these life-affirming, love centered religions. Last year 35939 people attended the 86 Pagan Pride Day events held in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, and Brazil. Together, they collected $3141.00 and donated 24825.38 pounds of food and goods to charity. More than 115 events are scheduled for this year. Saturday’s celebration will center on a religious service observing the Autumn Equinox, a time of thanksgiving in many Pagan traditions. The charity drive is a way to give thanks for the abundance of the year, and share it with our community. The ceremony will celebrate the diversity of the Pagan community and bless the results of the charity drive before it is given away. Participants are encouraged to bring percussion instruments for drumming. Modern Paganism, or Neo-Paganism, is a rapidly growing religious movement based on combinations of ancient polytheism, modern eco-spirituality, and reverence for the Divine as both masculine and feminine. Some common traditions found under this umbrella include Wicca or Witchcraft, Asatrú, Hinduism, and Druidry. Pagans are found in all walks of life from professionals to homemakers, and hold ethical standards that emphasize respect for nature, humanity, and oneself.
