Just a reminder - Raven and I will be away from July 24th through August 1st, first to Starwood, then to La Garou on Thursday, then to Four Quarters on Sunday. Bella will be staying at Starwood through the weekend and returning home separately. In case of severe emergency, you could try to reach us is by contacting the staff of one of those gatherings.

Raven, Bella and I are leaving on July 24th to go to Starwood. From there, Raven and I will be heading to the La Garou campout. Bella will be staying at Starwood. Raven and I will take the scenic route home, and stop by Four Quarter's Farm to interview their little group of monks for Raven's book on Pagan monasticism, Barefoot on the Mother. Raven and I will be returning home around August 1st. Well, we have to be home by Asphodel's Lammas celebration on the 5th, for certain.

I'm back from seeing Matthew Fox at the Rowe conference center. It was very amazing in a couple of way, even if his wild syncretism drives me nuts. I'd love to write all about it, but I've only got a day at home before heading out again, to Free Spirit Gathering in Maryland. We (Bella, Raven & I) are leaving Tuesday morning, and returning late Sunday night. There is no good way to reach us in case of an emergency, but I suppose one could try calling Camp Ramblewood in Darlington and seeing if the staff would track us down amongst hundreds of campers to deliver your message. So really, it would have to be earth-shatteringly important. Like our house burning down or something.

Bella & Raven will be leading the main ritual - very exciting - and I'll be getting my first tattoo - also very exciting.

In Asphodel Press type news, I've gotten five new Jotun Tarot cards from Abby Helasdottir. We are now up to 38 cards.
