The Wiccan Way Eco Home

This is the home of your friendly neighbourhood witch! This pagan environmentally friendly home is made to look like the home of a modern green witch. Although she swears she lost the key to that ominous door in the basement ages ago, we both know that’s just a way to prevent unwanted visitors. Let’s hope nobody gets curious.

Raise chickens, tend to your bees, bond with little insects, and enjoy feeding the ducks at your own garden pond. What’s not to love?

Paganism can be a helpful addition in considering sustainability through ecomodding. Modern-day forms such as Wicca have already been brought into the conversation about sustainability for their emphasis on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. Paganism is rooted in the value of ecosystems, localism, diversity, natural balance, an understanding of the cycles of influence and impact, of decay and regeneration. This basis helps paganism address issues of sufficiency and sustainability, and questions unnecessary consumption and growth. Paganism thus counters the capitalist values of perpetual growth and commodity consumption, and emphasises important sustainable practices.

Paganism can also help offer new imagery for sustainability. The Eco Lifestyle expansion favours sleek and modern designs, which seems to reduce sustainability in the expansion to a specific design trend. This is dangerous, because anyone who does not connect to this design would possibly also not connect to the theme of sustainability. This mod offers the imagery of paganism as an alternative.
