Send us a textPunctuality isn't just about watching the clock—it's about respect, consideration, and the seriousness with which we approach our spiritual practice. In this candid conversation, we dive into the frustrating reality of "Pagan Standard Time," that all-too-familiar phenomenon where rituals, classes, and gatherings start an hour or two later than scheduled, with little to no communication about the delay.We explore how this cultural pattern undermines the pagan community's credibility and creates real barriers for participation. For practitioners with families, jobs, and responsibilities, these unpredictable delays make attendance nearly impossible. When someone drives 45 minutes to attend your ritual only to find it's been postponed without notice or canceled altogether, we're not just wasting their time—we're showing disrespect for their dedication to the path.The problem extends beyond event scheduling into communication generally, with many pagan organizations failing to respond to inquiries in timely ways. We suggest practical solutions, like establishing a 24-hour response rule and committing to starting events at their published times. Most importantly, we challenge the community to consider whether our casual relationship with time reflects a casual relationship with our spiritual practice itself. Is paganism something we do only when the mood strikes, or is it truly integrated into our daily lives? Even five minutes of consistent practice each day demonstrates more commitment than sporadic attendance at seasonal events.Join us for this thought-provoking discussion about reliability, courtesy, and what it means to put our spiritual practice first. Let us know your thoughts and experiences with PST—has it affected your participation in community events? What solutions have you found that work? Together, we can create a more considerate, accessible pagan community that honors both the divine and each other.Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MdcMwqUjPZFacebook: (7) Life Temple and Seminary | Facebook
