Hex Magazine Political Statement
Throughout the time that Hex was being published we strove to avoid making any decisive political statements. It was our hope to be able to set a positive example for Heathenry that was focused on spirituality and human connection, rather than set specific boundaries. Our intention was to draw Heathens and anyone who might interested in Heathenry into a sense of vulnerable, communal self-expression where rigidity and binary attitudes could be softened or opened up in an organic fashion.
We still believe in the hope of organic, positive growth and change. Yet whereas once our lack of statement was a way to create connection, times have changed and we have concluded that we do need to chart ourselves on the political map.
Hex Magazine, therefore, stands for an open Heathenry grounded on respect, community, and inclusivity. It stands for a vision of Heathenry where individuals are embraced based on their personal qualities, not on the basis of their race, gender, sexuality, or other arbitrary categories of judgment.
Hex categorically rejects all forms of authoritarianism and dreams rather of a Heathenry that focuses on the ancient values of hospitality, generosity, and reverence. We prefer listening to telling, communication to objectification, respect to judgment. We defy both those who would attempt to make Heathenry an excuse for bigotry and those who would recklessly claim that Heathenry and bigotry are necessary bedfellows.
We hold that authentic Heathen spirituality and hateful politics are mutually exclusive; to embrace the former one must abandon the latter. This has always been our perspective.
Hex grounds itself in polytheism, pantheism, and animism in contrast to technocracy, reductionism, and objectification. We honor the sacred interconnection of all beings, places, and things: the Web of Wyrd.
We stand by the content we published over the years. In some cases it has subsequently become apparent that some of our contributors hold views vastly different to those expressed in this statement. These views were never represented in their contributions, or we would not have published them, and we do not and cannot endorse whatever opinions our contributors may have made in other forums that do not match the outlook we offer here.
We are always willing to respond to questions about our philosophy.
Cheers,
