The Ramblings and Wanderings

Posts Tagged ‘award’

I was inspired by the award I received; Also I have been thinking about the fact that more and more people are calling for the Pagan Community to do better to recognize those hardworking members that make modern Paganism and Witchcraft go ‘round.

I decided to make an award and pass it on so that it folks will pay it forward.

Yes it works a little like a chain letter, but the dammed things are effective, especially online.

This award can go to any website, group, blog, individual, podcast, organization, magazine or newsletter, forum, networking site and so forth that you feel has done a good service to the community or added something important, special, unique etc to the Community.

This is meant to be a show of respect and/or appreciation, but it can still be delivered with some affectionate humour and so forth

(And yes I am capitalizing “Pagan Community” now! Look up the definition of community; we all don’t have to be the same to be a freakshow family people)

To get the ball rolling I will choose a grand total of four awards to hand out, though people are encouraged to award three.

Ladies, gents and everyone in-between, I present to you the Real Witch Achievement Award

When you receive this award, you are to:

* Post the award on your website, blog, etc in some way. Remember to thank your mom!
* Mention the person who gave you the award.
* Select three new recipients of this award you feel are worthy.
* Send them the award via email, by commenting on their forum, by printing it and handing it to them, etc
* Announce your choices on your website, in your magazine, on your podcast etc

My nominees are a networking site, a forum, a blog, and a podcast:
The WiccanWeb.ca
Networking site based on the west coast of Canada for Wiccans, and all Pagans, in Canada or who live in or love Canada. They have forums, classifieds, pictures, a wiki, news articles, a chants page that is awesome, two pagan radio stations and more. They are also kind enough to post link to my articles sometimes.

TerraSpirit ~ Canadian Pagan Living
Delivers what it states in its name. A forum linked to other goodies is set up for all Pagans in Canada to talk and discuss. Terra Spirit was created to help unite Canadian Pagans with an interest in topics such as family, health, divination, celebration, pregnancy, and all areas of Pagan Living in Canada. You don’t have to be Pagan, you don’t have to be Canadian, but that is the main theme of the boards. Also very family oriented. Wonderful!

Vanic Thoughts
A thoughtful, intelligent and insightful blog from a Vanic heathen.
I love the practical handing of the woo moments that come from living the life of a mystic (or whatever you want to call it)

The Wigglian Way
The Wigglian Way is a pagan podcast brought to you by Sparrow and Mojo from Beautiful British Columbia. They have been around for a while now and seem to be going strong. All sorts of topics have been covered and they feature great music from people you may have never heard of.

Congratulations guys, please pay it forward!

I had considered handing this out to some of the big guys who would be obvious like Witchvox or the Wild Hunt blog, but I’ll let someone else do that.
Also, yes I choose three nominees that are Canadian well; this is the Journal of a Canadian Hedgewitch after all!

Now I am off to send the awards off … after breakfast.

hehehe!

Oh and here is a link to a smaller image:

I received this award from the Hedgewitch Hollow, a blog I enjoy myself very much.

How wonderful, thank you!

With this award, I am to:

Include the award in my blog post.
~ Link the nominees within my post.
~ Don’t forget to mention the person who gave you the award.
~ Let my chosen winners know that they received The Domestic Witch Blog Award by commenting on their blog.

This is a terrific idea and I am happy to award the following blogs:

The Witch of the Forest Grove blog.
“I’m a folk magic practitioner with a focus in Scottish witchcraft and folk magic. As I live in the new world I also incorporate American folk magic traditions into my practice, those of conjure, rootwork, hoodoo, and shamanism. I have a strong love for folklore, history, and anthropology. I am a librarian, a writer, a gardener, a mead maker, a charm maker, a healer, a diviner, a wife, and the owner of three mischievous black cats. I live in Forest Grove, in the rainforest that is South Western British Columbia.”

The Crafty Witch Blog
“Not Witch … Not Wicca … Not anything … Just go with the flow … Walk my own path … Don’t need a label … Go where the wind takes me … Mixing it up … Stirring it … My way … My path …”
