Well, given the lack of traffic on them, I have decided to delete the Forum and the Book of Shadows.
Many moons have passed since we last posted updates about life and whatnot… A surprising number, in-fact… I apologise for my unavailability in all that time.
To let you know, I’ve tried again to run a Tumblr blog, but was again shut-down. As such, I’m exploring Minds.com, as an alternative, though I’m just getting familiar with the site, particularly the blog feature, so I’m not posting a link, yet.
Quite a while ago, I spoke to Sallie-Ann Glassman, and will be getting in touch with her again soon, to see if she’s available in the new year to do a show with us about Louisiana Voodoo.
Brian and I just got done recording a new episode yesterday. I’m going to edit today and I”ll try to get it up this week. Look forward to it.
An anonymous question came to my blog, a couple of years ago, requesting some perspective from me about paganism:
Could you explain what paganism means to you and why it’s important to keep relevant? I always hear the word with such negative connotations and I’d be interested in hearing your views on it.
I replied:
Certainly, I understand the popular misconceptions of what it means to be pagan, particularly if one has come from a background that condemns outside views—enter almost any mainstream religion…
Well, the long awaited interview with Ellen Evert Hopman is done and posted! Go and listen. Pay attention for your chance to win a copy of Ellen’s book Secret Medicines from your Garden!
Well, I keep coming across more and more stuff that I have. So since we FINALLY found a home, we decided to set up our house altar again.
This is it. It is along the wall that is the exact center of the house, and I hope you recognize everything.
My ordination is hanging on the wall to the left. Staff and Stang in the corner to the right. There’s also a Long Wooden Meditation Flute in that corner that my daughter plays. Our coven Sword is there too.
Details of some of the altar tools:
You’ve heard Joy and me mention this book numerous times. Its latest cover is green, and it’s available at most good booksellers, online and off. The sheer volume of information it contains, relevant to pagans and preppers alike, makes it a worthwhile book for any shelf.
This is the staff that Daven (my former sacred identity, I use Erin now) uses in his rituals. Take a look and find out what everything is and why its there.
I mention “the Sage”. This is a link to him http://groo.com/sage.html
A good picture of The Sage and the bottle on his staff.
