PSG, Blessed By Our Collective Ethic Of Mutual Aid

The photos are dramatic, This years PSG has been subjected to a flood. As a disaster responder I have witnessed many such events. Following the posts of those present and those witnessing from afar has been insightful.  How does a Goddess centered community respond when disaster strikes?  Simply stated, the response reflects the beliefs that we hold scared.

Post after post talks about the efforts of established infrastructure like the Guardians and PSG staff,  but even more is reflective of our communities natural instinct to engage in mutual aid when disaster strikes. These events, while dramatic, make clear that the very essence of the PSG gathering is real community that pulls together in the face of challenges.

Online posts from those not present offer support ranging from places to stay on the journey home to financial assistance to those most impacted.  All these efforts reenforce for me how important the PSG event is in demonstrating the collective values of our community. From offers of spiritual support to the more practical corporeal efforts this community is demonstrating how effective mutual aid is in the face of challenges.

Even more heartening are the reports coming out that reflect a positive experience in the mists of chaos. A little part of me is sad to be missing this chance to be of service and the outpouring of the love of the Goddess. May she bless all those affected and continue to bless them with the spirit centered mutual aid that is supporting hearts, spirits and the more logistical based needs

Selena Fox stands as a collective example of the hundreds of great Pagans in this community and their heart centered approach to collective magic when the community is affected by the power of the elements.

I am deeply saddened by these events, Yet, witnessing the response re-enforces for me why I consider PSG and Circle Sanctuary a spiritual home that reflects the best of what the Pagan community is.
