Press Release: Edge Magazine starts Pagan Column connecting Community


*** For Immediate Release ***

We are very happy to announce that the Edge Magazine has now started a monthly column called “Evolutionary Pagan” written by life-long Pagan, Briana Crusan.

The first column, which was published this month both in print as well as online, is titled “(Source)ry”, and is being well received by not only local pagans, but also the New Age community, Christians, and the entire diverse aspects of spiritual paths. One of our readers, Jodi R. said, “I think it will help to close a gap between the greater spiritual community and the Pagan community that seems to be widening each day”. Todd Berntson, Executive Director with Pagan Living TV, said after seeing a preview of February’s column, “There were a couple of things that I really liked about the article, for example; it showed in very simple ways how magic works, and how we all can connect with the divine in our own way”.

The Edge Magazine’s primary focus is on broad and diverse aspects of holistic wellness, green resources, community and spirituality, which includes being an outlet for Pagans. The Edge is also a sponsor of Pagan Living TV (www.paganliving.tv), which also went live this month. You can read this months “Evolutionary Pagan: (Source)ry” at: http://edgemagazine.net/2013/01/evolutionary-pagan-sourcery/ or find a print copy at over 500 locations in the Twin Cities metro area, and other select locations around the United States. To join in on the conversation, join Briana while she hosts an in-person Meetup each month at J & S Bean Factory in Saint Paul, MN the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7 to 9 PM. For more information on the Evolutionary Pagans Meetup, go to http://meetup.tchealers.com.

Article | Undoing the Separation and Re-connecting with your Source


Undoing the Separation and Re-connecting with your Source

abstract_light2
I'd like to share a few helpful ideas about undoing the ego (the thought of separation from our Source and the idea that we could take on an individual existence or personal identity) and returning to our Source. I hope you'll employ these powerful tools to experience your reality, which is permanent, rather than just this world, which is temporary. Put the Holy Spirit (or your higher power) in charge: This simple act can be done in the morning in ten seconds. Say: "Holy Spirit, you be in … [Read more...]

Article | On Spiritual Practice


On Spiritual Practice

abstract_light
In this age of technology and materialism, when many wonder what tomorrow will bring, the resurgence of spirituality is a normal phenomenon. For centuries, people have turned to religions or other belief systems for support and understanding. Yet, it never resulted in a better world on a global level. An improved personal life perhaps, but not a better planet. So one can wonder why, after centuries of religious or spiritual teachings on love, forgiveness, presence or service, the world … [Read more...]

Featured Article: My experience at Bhaktifest Midwest


My experience at Bhaktifest Midwest

sadovsky
I finally get around to returning Ma's call a few days after the Fourth. "So? How was it?" she wants to know. "Was it fabulous? Were you totally blissed out? Did your boyfriend come? What's his last name again? Was the Kirtan Rabbi there?" "It" was (and is) Bhaktifest, a three-day peace-out rooted in yoga, meditation and Kirtan -- devotional call-and-response chanting, mostly in Sanskrit. An annual event in Joshua Tree, California, since 2009, Bhaktifest producers responded to the … [Read more...]

May your inner dragon keep you brave in 2012


May your inner dragon keep you brave in 2012
by Tim Miejan

Two decades ago, before the human potential movement morphed into Oprah and Buddhist principles paved the way for Presence studies, The Edge was created in the Upper Midwest to share insights on the essence of spirituality and the integration of alternative healing and conventional medicine.

It was a time of great expansion. Holistic business was booming as new centers opened far and wide to offer treatments and classes on complementary therapies. New shops opened to share books and gifts to support body, mind and soul.

Every month, and every year, revealed more. The Edge continued to evolve in concert with the holistic community, ever mindful of the need to offer support in an era filled with uncertainty. Contributors wrote articles that uplifted our spirits, all the while knowing that transformation is not an easy business.

Now it is 2012. We’ve witnessed incredible upheaval on this planet in recent years. It has taken a toll. Climate change has taken many lives; the collapse of the stock market has erased many life savings. And many of the people who opened small businesses to support body, mind and soul have had to shut their doors.

The Edge, which turns 20 in 2012, remains here to offer its support. Each month in 2012, we will celebrate the legacy of this publication.

Chinese astrology proclaims 2012 as the Year of the Dragon, the mightiest of all signs, regarded in China as a divine beast, not one we should seek and destroy. The dragon symbolizes ambition, dominance, bravery and success. Dragons are free spirits with great passion.

It is fitting that 2012 is a dragon year, not because it will take dragon powers to overcome all of the doomsday hype attached to the end of this year, but because the transformation every one of us is going through requires dragonlike resiliency and determination. Your experience – with spirituality, with healing, with magic and inspiration – has prepared you for this moment. Be strong and be bold! a
