This web site was established to create a resource for those individuals who are seeking to combine an interest in Earth Based Spirituality with the field of Deafness. We welcome Deaf people, Hard of Hearing people, and Hearing people to visit. We have a two-fold mission with the Deaf Pagan Resource Center -
1.) To be a place where individuals of Like Mind can come together to discuss the Pagan Path, to share our traditions, learn about our spirituality, participate in rituals, and develop our own personal relationship with the Goddess and God.
2.) To be a place where individuals of Like Mind can come together to discuss issues related to Deafness - sign language, interpreting, deaf access, being Deaf in a hearing world, and similar topics.
We focus on three areas:
Awareness - to assist our fellow Pagans in becoming more knowledgeable about Deafness, and the needs of Deaf Pagans; and also to provide information to Deaf individuals about Paganism and Earth Based Faiths.Advocacy - to support and encourage more Pagan events to be accessible to Deaf participants; and to empower Deaf Pagans to be the very best individuals they can be, not only in their spirituality, but in all aspects of their lives.
Accessibility - to be a resource where all people can come and be a part of our virtual spiritual community, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other so-called "labels"; to make topics of Paganism and Deafness accessible to all, especially those for whom such information may be difficult to obtain; and to promote access and acceptance for all individuals, especially Deaf Pagans.
