The Pomegranate is the first International, peer-reviewed journal of Pagan studies. It provides a forum for papers, essays and symposia on both ancient and contemporary Pagan religious practices. The Pomegranate also publishes timely reviews of scholarly books in this growing field. The editors seek both new interpretations and re-examinations of those traditions marked both by an emphasis on nature as a source of sacred value (e.g., Wicca, modern Goddess religions) as well as those emphasizing continuity with a polytheistic past (e.g., Ásatrú and other forms of 'reconstructionist' Paganism). The editors also seek papers on the interplay between Pagan religious traditions, popular culture, literature, psychology and the arts.

Pentagram Pizza for May 15, 2012 | |
| • At The Allergic Pagan, a three-part series on Neopaganism in America (link goes to the third part) with a lot of “whatever happened to?”. • Jason Pitzl-Waters uses the reunion of the band Dead Can Dance (one of my favorites) to look back at the history of Pagan music. • A new blog devoted [...] | |

Ask Academic Abby | |
| “Ask Academic Abby” is a service of the American Academy of Religion, so it is slanted towards graduate students in religious studies, but a lot of the advice is applicable to academic generally. But it appears only in the online Religious Studies News. | |

It’s Time for my Winter Coat . . . | |
| . . . at the Beltania festival, where the temperature is about 45° F with rain now and again. I spent the morning at one of the volunteer fire department’s monthly training day, helping more people become familiar with the whole process of drafting water from a creek (hydrants? we don’t need no stinking hydrants) [...] | |

A Professional Writer’s Approach to the Job | |
| Kathy Shaidle is not the first person to say that the successful writer is not necessarily the most talented writer, but in this post at PJ Lifestyle she offers some guidance for being a successful freelancer. One of the reasons I’m a freelance writer is that, frankly, I don’t “play well with others.” I am [...] | |

How Many Gods Are There? Vote Now! | |
| It must be a slow news day, because the Denver Post’s daily news poll is about God . . . or Goddess . . . or the Gods. “Hard” polytheism is running at less than 2 percent, so if you can’t vote early, vote often. I doubt than anyone is going to do anything useful [...] | |

Again, Punctuation Matters | |
| Likewise, the difference between “Let’s eat Jennifer” and “Let’s eat, Jennifer” is whether Jennifer will be in a stew pot or a dining chair. You saw the comma there, right? | |
