Parvati Devi: North Pole Journey - Day Two, Part Four - Lisa and Louisa:
Meghan and I meet with the Inuit elders and healers Louisa and Lisa on the second floor of the inn, on the soft chairs and sofa in the comfortable lounge. After a couple of minutes together, Sunanda and Rishi join us, soon followed by Satish... To my surprise, when I ask them about shamanism and the Inuit spiritual traditions, Louisa responds with a question: “Have you accepted Jesus into your life?”
Christianity has had a nice run for about 1900 years. But, U.S. conservative politics notwithstanding, it has run its course. And over the long haul Christianity has done more harm than good, particularly among indigenous people such as Canada's Inuit, who have been on the receiving end of centuries of forced conversions by missionaries who allegedly represent "civilization".
Patria is proud to be non-Christian. The Inner Realm is a place where Hindus, Pagans, New Agers, and of course Atheists/Agnostics may practice their religion (or lack of one) free from Bible-toting social conservatives.
Welcome to the Inner Realm of Patria's official blog. Patria is a micronation established in 1818 that exists only within the hearts and minds of those who dare to be in the Bhav!
