I speak a little Spanish, and I like Mexican culture. I'm also disgusted with America's recent assault on immigration, immigrants, and Hispanics in general. So I'd like to encourage people to explore the bright side of Mexico...

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The Mexicans were heavily outnumbered, but they didn't let that stop them. Today the holiday is celebrated with feasting, dancing, and brilliant colors.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Today's installment of "How to Herd Cats: Essays on Pagan Leadership" covers the opposite side of the coin: "Followship." Almost all the literature about power dynamics is focused on leadership. People often forget that good leaders need good followers. So let's explore that...

Do you think of yourself as a leader, a follower, or some of both? Why?

What do you consider the personal qualities of a good follower?

What are some of the skills of a good follower?

Can followship be taught or learned, or is it innate?

Do followers deserve respect? Why or why not?

How does the wider Pagan community view followers?

What does it mean for a follower to bestow their service on a leader?
