Shauna Aura Knight once again returns to the Pagan-Musings Podcast to talk with KaliSara and RevKess about things that matter to her, and to much of the Pagan community. Shauna is a ritual facilitator, teacher, author, artist, and presenter at various events in the Midwest and elsewhere. This year she has attended PantheaCon in California, ConVocation and Paganicon in the Midwest. She presented at all three of those events. She also took note of how they addressed, or seeminly ignored, certain issues.
In her recent article on Pagan Activist Shauna talks about racism and rape culture in relations to Pagan events. These have both been hot-button issues in the community for some time, especially since the arrest of Kenny Klein in March 2014 (tune in for an update). Editors Crystal Blanton, Brandy Williams and Taylor Ellwood have recently released their essay collection Called Bringing Race to the Table (tune in on 4/26/15 for a conversation with them), as well as presenting the topic at various events.
Tackling these and other issues in a constructive way is one of Shauna's specialities in life.
