We often talk about liminality being a “moment” of change that takes place when we are born or give birth, when we marry or undergo any discrete experience that reorients us in society, culture, family, or our own minds—when we pass the threshold to another state of being. In this time of COVID, the whole globe is experiencing an extended liminal period. More or less together we entered the unknown. Now we wait in it, wondering how long it will last. We will eventually pass through it, and when we emerge, the world will have changed. The change is inevitable. No one can avoid it, no matter their level of denial. But we have the power to shape that change. What can we as Pagans bring forth from this voyage through the darkness? What do we want this new world to be like? How can we use our unique understanding of life and its interconnectedness to bring hope to those who fear change and the unknown? How can we—as individuals and in community—follow the Mahatma to become the change we wish to see? Think of this discussion as a sort of brain-storming session. Bring your experiences and your ideas to help inspire others. We have the opportunity to both help guide those around us through this difficult time, and to be a force for good as a very new “normal” emerges after the storm.
