Updating the Blog List

Posted on July 2, 2006 by Isaac Bonewits

I’ve just finished adding a bunch of Druidic and Celtic-focussed web sites and blogs to the ones previously listed on the right of this blog’s front page. Most of these are from my new Druid book and are up-to-date as of today. Bookmark the one for the Druid Network, as they are the best on the planet for keeping track of all the different groups.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Keyboards!

Posted on July 1, 2006 by Isaac Bonewits

We’ve gone ahead and promoted several people who have posted comments here to Author status: Sari, Zy, Torc, Deb, Susan, Kirk, Anthony, Todd, and Karen. If you have had at least three comments approved for posting here, send me an email and we’ll add you to the list.

Posts about Paganism (Paleo-, Meso- or Neo-), politics (especially American), magic, ritual, and related topics are all most welcome.

I believe that all you need to do is log in and the authoring option will be available to you. Let me know if it doesn’t work like that.

Now let the wild and crazy posting begin!

Reader Participation?

Posted on June 29, 2006 by Isaac Bonewits

Phae and I are considering opening this blog up to posting of articles by registered readers who’ve had three or more comments approved in the past. Is this a good, bad, or weird idea? We do have a number of people who have posted very good comments in the past and this change would make the blog much more interactive. Let us know what you think!

Keeping Tabs on the Religious Reich

Posted on June 26, 2006 by Isaac Bonewits

If you haven’t visited their site lately, this month’s issue of America United’s Church & State newsletter is well worth reading. It includes a list of the top ten Religious Reich leaders, ten steps you can take to fight the RR, and an overview of the power now held by the theocrats who want to rule America.

Make no mistake, the leaders of the Religious Reich want to shove their ultra-conservative theological opinions down the throats of every man, woman, and child in the USA — and then the world. The Talibaptists won’t be happy until America is a theocratic state, just like Israel and most of the Arab states.

The more powerful they become, the more even moderate Muslims around the world suspect America of wanting to defeat Islam in a world-wide Crusade, and the more vulnerable the USA becomes to jihadists.

Remember, Fundamentalists + Money + Political Power = Fundamentalists with Weapons = Terrorists. It’s more urgent than ever than sane people, of all moderate religions and none, unite to stop the religious lunatics from bringing on the Armegeddon they so lust after.
