Updates
I have been meaning to update the Hedge with new versions of its software and new themes etc. But with the contest running I have been holding off.
Review: Last Year’s Birthday Reading
So, about a year ago I did a casting and reading for my 30th birthday and shared it with you. I thought that before I do a reading for my 31st birthday, I ought to have a look at last year’s reading and see how accurate it was.
Here we go.
I was concerned that there was nothing in the South. This turned out to be rather true. This past year really wasn’t about passion and fire. It was more practical, getting things done. Not much for adventures. I didn’t get any more worked up about anything than I normally do. I finished some projects, took on a few new things (like the tambourine) … but nothing really, REALLY, lit a fire under me. It was a “put your nose to the grind stone and try to be an adult” kind of year. Boy, I hope next year is a little more interesting.
Acorn and Clear Quartz rolled well away from the cloth and left me wondering why is masculine virility and clarity trying to run away from me? I can’t tell you why, but they have been. The bastards.

Political Pagans
Recently over at No Unsacred Ground one of my fellow columnists Howling Hill spoke of the lack of Pagans involved in the environmental movement.
A while back I butted heads with Cat Chaplin Bishop after she made a statement that she felt Pagans ought be environmentally friendly, feminist, politically left wing and so forth.
I was part of a panel discussion for a podcast the other day (Pagan Pathfinders Podcast, the episode is still in the editing process) Diana Paxton lamented that Pagans are uncomfortable getting involved in politics. The Canadians on the panel immediately spoke up: “that’s not a problem here!” I think the lady was a little take aback.
(The above are just a few examples)
Having lived and travelled a fair bit I must say that one’s experience with non-political and un-environmentally friendly Pagans is going to differ depending on where one is.
Tangent:
Having lived in the USA I can try to not be insulted here. Not because people wish Pagans were more political, but because what they are really saying is that they wish USA Pagans were more political. Like I said, I’ve lived in the States, so I… Continue reading
