The Ramblings and Wanderings

Posts Tagged ‘Links’

(Breaking the rules of wordless Wednesday … Sorry I haven’t been around much! I have lots going on right now. I’m writing like crazy, reading like crazy, working and job hunting, Bren’s birthday is coming up, helping with the starting of a ritual group, planning and performing all night rituals and Hedge crossings, doing some wood burning, there’s the podcast … the list goes on.

Two things I owe you guys: an article on Hedge Crossing for here and an article on building a relationship with a landscape for New World Witchery, I hope to have these finished up asap.

Also check out the upcoming book from Pendraig Publishing called “To Fly by Night” recognize any names? Only my first name is listed right now hehehehe)

I’d like to thank everyone who has sent me a blog award in the last month or so. When I first discovered blog awards I though they were fun and cute. Its great to give other’s a pat on the back for their efforts now and then, really!

However, the way they get around, and the sheer amount of them is too much for this lazy witch. As such, I decided to make this blog awards free. Instead, I will link to blogs, podcasts and website (ect) that I think are AWESOME every now and then in dedicated posts. Sans the cute little graphic and the required “Post 5 things about yourself” and without the chain letter-ness.

Maybe I’ll make a point of mentioning a few favourites on the podcast now and then as well … when I feel like it.

*hugs*

Shortening the Road

From Fire Lyte, over at Inciting a Riot:

So, Project Pagan Enough is a movement, a cause, a Harmonious Riot that includes bloggers, podcasters, pagans, non-pagans, me, you, and the whole pagan community. It is my hope that the Project Pagan Enough logo becomes a beacon of progress and change for those of us living a magical life. By putting the Project Pagan Enough icon on your podcast’s site, blog, or other website, you’re making a set of promises:

1. You are pagan enough, despite how you look, act, smell, dress, believe, or are.
2. You recognize that others are pagan enough despite their appearance, smell, manner of dress, belief, practice, or other aspect.
3. You recognize that you can have an academic debate on the finer points of belief or practice, but that it does not take away from someone else’s level of being pagan.
4. You welcome, befriend, and encourage others in the pagan community despite their appearance, dress, or other physical or superficial characteristic.
5. You promise to treat members of other faiths, despite the faith, with honest-to-goodness fairness, equality, and grace, not judging them or their faith based on the actions of fringe members of their same faith.

Like the points of the pentacle, these 5 tenets of Project Pagan Enough work together and will, I hope, launch our community into a new era of tolerance, love, and all of the qualities we like to think we have.

You may copy the Project Pagan Enough logo for your own website – below – but please make sure to link back to the original blog page to allow others to know what promise you’ve made to the community at large.

It seems my rather controversial article  “Where Have All the Gardners and Crowleys Gone? (An Answer)”  has made the Top 20 Essays of 2009 on Witchvox! Which is pretty cool, I think they go by number of reads to decide.

I had opened my email box and wondered why I was getting mail about that one again. Good gods, just as the crap from its original posting had blown over … here we go again!

Maybe I should rewrite it for better clarity? (and maybe fix that one typo that drives me up the wall)  Since so many people seemed to choose to take it the wrong way last time, or missed the point entirely …

Nah, fuck them.
