And Euripides Was A Better Writer Than Aeschylus Anyway - Sunday, November 15th 2009 10:40 AM
The ADF e-mail lists are often quiet, often noisy, sometimes interesting, sometimes not, just like, well, like most e-mail lists. (As opposed to forums, which are always noisy...
Warmest. Samhain. Ever. - Sunday, November 8th 2009 11:40 PM
Ever since we started holding our Samhain rites outdoors in 1997, I've always worried about the weather for that weekend. November in Michigan isn't usually warm by anyone's...
Short Late-Night Entry - Monday, November 2nd 2009 2:15 AM
Short entry this week, as I got home at 1:15 AM from a babysitting gig. Besides, what is there to say beyond "I'm going to be frantically getting ready for Samhain this week and...

Getting Ready For Samhain - Sunday, October 18th 2009 11:25 PM

On Servers, Shrines, Cathedrals, and Bards - Sunday, October 11th 2009 11:25 PM
After my first ADF Clergy Retreat last weekend, just about any week would seem light on Druid activities by comparison! But there were several things going on this week, even if...
Tredara and Back Again - Sunday, October 4th 2009 10:25 PM
I just got home from the ADF Clergy Retreat in Cleveland around an hour ago. Since I'm still feeling mildly discombobulated from the travel and the rest of the weekend, rather...
The Bus To Cleveland, And Other Oddities - Sunday, September 27th 2009 10:40 PM
I have two Clergy Training Program courses with a deadline of Wednesday, so I won't write anything too huge this week. (Besides which, I imagine at least a few of my five...
The Fall-Body Workout - Sunday, September 20th 2009 8:15 PM
It was a busy week for us at work, and I didn't get my usual Wednesday off because I had to take Saturday off for the ritual, so I didn't get a chance to stop by the Huron River...

On Healing And Blog Topics - Sunday, September 6th 2009 5:45 PM
This must be the first Sunday in over a month where I haven't had some grand topic burning away at my brain for days before  started to write for this blog! It's funny to...
And Most Ancient Greeks Didn't Live In Ancient Greece Either, They Lived In Tacoma - Monday, August 31st 2009 12:10 AM
While I do watch a fair amount of television, somehow or another I'd managed to miss every episode of the History Channel's new "Clash of the Gods" series. I'd heard about it...
River of Consciousness - Sunday, August 23rd 2009 9:55 PM
The Summerland festival was this weekend, which I missed yet again due to lack of funds. I did quite enjoy the last one I went to, back in 2000, though I assume it's changed at...
Or We're All Wrong, And God Is A Giant Penguin Named Filbert - Sunday, August 16th 2009 1:20 PM
I've definitely gotten to like being on Twitter, at least I like the feeds I've chosen to follow. A few friends (most of whom don't feel the need to tell me what they had for...
The Gigantic Tarp, The Corpse In the Foyer, And Other Weekend Oddities - Sunday, August 9th 2009 11:10 PM
So I was all set for Lughnasadh weekend this year, and earlier than usual! I had the order of service written up (well with a few minor mistakes as it turned out), I had an...
Happy Lughnasadh - A Day Late Or Five Days Early? - Monday, August 3rd 2009 12:10 AM
A few quick and mostly Lughnasadh-related data bursts this week:Lughnasadh is next weekend! Well, okay, for most of you reading this it was probably this weekend, because that's...
On Contact Expectations, Or Lacks Thereof - Sunday, July 26th 2009 6:40 PM
It's that special time of year again, when I have two more Clergy Training Program courses due by the end of the month, Friday night in this case. Looking over the questions,...
Think Locally, Act Locally? - Sunday, July 19th 2009 11:20 PM
Art Fair descended on Ann Arbor again this week, like a brightly colored Biblical plague with a food court close behind. Nah, not really, other than having to find parking to...
Friday Night's All Right For Shrining - Monday, July 13th 2009 1:25 AM
This past Friday night, we made a group outing to our permanent Manannan shrine, in the wild woods of the Waterloo Recreation Area of western Washtenaw County. Jude had...
A Bored Senior Druid in the Summer is a Dangerous Thing - Sunday, July 5th 2009 11:40 PM
Ah, Independence Day, a chance to visit friend's homes, eat large quantities of meat, sit around the fire, watch fireworks light up the night sky as the not-quite-full moon...
On Pagan Values - Sunday, June 28th 2009 11:15 PM
As I mentioned at the end of last week's article, many of my fellow Pagan bloggers have been setting space aside to discuss the topic of "Pagan values". I didn't know whether...
As Blind Melon Once Sang, "No Rain!" - Sunday, June 21st 2009 11:35 PM
So in last week's article here, I was already worrying about the prospect of rain on Saturday right during our solstice ritual, especially after last year's downpour. And right...
Summer Daze - Sunday, June 14th 2009 11:00 PM
Last night's Game Night was a rousing success! We doubled our attendance from last month! Granted, that means we had six people there instead of three, but still, double is...
Twenty-One Lessons Times Three Books Equals... - Monday, June 8th 2009 12:35 AM
