Prairie Pagan is an experiment in using mythology, poetry, photography, ritual and art to explore the spirit of the Northern Great Plains.
Prairie?
On this site, Prairie refers to the Northern Great Plains. An area of grassland that includes southern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan, south-western Manitoba, eastern Montana and North Dakota. This site will explore the landscape, environment, plants, animals and human culture of this area.
Pagan?
The term “pagan” was deliberately chosen because of its ambiguity. It is generally used to refer to polytheistic religious traditions. It can be used to refer to: someone who is not Christian, Jewish or Muslim; ancient pre-Christian religions in Europe; Eastern religions; Indigenous religions; folk religions; any religious beliefs you don’t like (as a pejorative term); neo-pagan religions such as Wicca, Druidry, and Ásatrú; atheists/agnostics/humanists; hedonists. We may explore some or all of these ideas on this site.
