Hope you're enjoying your Saturday, wherever you are.  

"I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful -- an endless prospect of magic and wonder."  (Ansel Adams)

From Pantheist Vision, we read:

Join the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands, called the Ramsar Convention.  This year's theme is "wetlands and water" -- healthy wetlands have a rich natural diversity of life that maintains and improves water quality.

It's a new month as we welcome February and the cool things it brings to the night sky...the Pleiades (the Seven Sisters), planets, the Snow Moon, and more.  There's so much beauty to see when we remember to look up, even with the naked eye -- you don't have to have a telescope to appreciate the awesomeness of Nature's nights above us.  Just click on the picture below for more details.

Happy National Bird Day!  Hope you're enjoying watching and listening to the birds outside your window.

Happy New Year from the Universal Pantheist Society and welcome to 2021!  We hope this is a good year for you and for our world, our planet.

Wishing everyone a Happy Solstice (summer for those in the southern hemisphere)!  As we celebrate light and hope this new season (something we can all use especially this year!), we also have Saturn and Jupiter shining together as a 'Christmas Star.'  Read all about the "great conjunction" here.  It's a great time to be a pantheist and a sky watcher!  Stay warm and safe as you celebrate this week.

It's that time again....a new month for you sky watchers and stargazers!  December is the time for the Geminids, an eclipse and, of course, Winter Solstice, and a whole lot more to see when you remember to look up at that beautiful winter sky!

Writer, naturalist, and self-described Pantheist, born on this day in 1830.  He coined the phrase "trust in wildness" to substitute for the simple "love of nature" when we mean trust in nature as both the creator and sustainer of health, happiness, and joy.  He described it as a modern form of Pantheism:  "It is a philosophy, a faith; it is even, if you like, a religion."  (from ​Pantheist Vision)

​From Pantheist Vision:  

The primary goal of this day is to develop a compassionate culture to make our world a fairer place for all living creatures -- where animals are recognized as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.  Celebrated in a variety of different ways in many countries, with no regard to nationality, religion, faith, or political ideology, World Animal Day sometimes includes a Blessing of the Animals."  Click on the picture above for more information.

It's a beautiful time to be outside, and a great time to look up!  Lots of cool things happening in the October night sky...from the Harvest Moon to the Halloween Blue Hunter's Moon and lots in between, including a meteor shower!  Just click on the picture below from the Farmer's Almanac website.
