Well, the Republican platform already calls for Constitutional amendments
to outlaw abortion and mandate prayer in school.  And of course, we all know
that Bush stated he doesn't consider atheists American citizens...  Makes
you wonder where this country's going.

Yep, the Democrats don't really seem to be standing to the push.  Of course,
I'd never vote for Bush, so we really don't have much of a choice... unless
we take Thomas Jefferson's words to heart.  Hmm, that's an idea.

I would be wary of anything the Murrays used for a reference,
particularly anything written between 1800 and about 1950, as there was
a whole lot of pseudo-scholarship foisted on an unsuspecting public
between those times.  Stuff before that is either from the period or
real close, or is a really good, if failed, effort.  Stuff from within
those dates is, as often as not, exercises on the parts of the authors
to clothe Christian morality in the skin of the "noble savage".  Some of
the stuff is outright forgery, though clever -- specifically material by
Iolo Morgannwg; beware of him and all who subsequently quoted him as
gospel (his book BARDDAS is the one to watch for).

(Parenthetical, but long, aside: Iolo, while doing Celtic scholarship a
disservice, actually did a great deal for Welsh nationalism.  There
would be no modern Eisteddfodd without him, and he was a skilled
ritualist and poet.  Read his stuff for its own sake, not because it is
the Revealed Truth of the Ancient Welsh Bards (because it's not).)

Anyway, I did notice that the Murrays used a great deal of the
questionable stuff for their primary sources.  So caveat lector.  On the
other hand, this in no way invalidates their Tree Oracle as a divinatory
system -- I've gotten many good readings from it.  They've certainly got
a tap into the archetype-cask, even if they try to back it up with shaky
references that it really doesn't need.

Thanks, by the way, to you and Carl for your thoughtful and relevant
posts.  Very refreshing, much more like I remember the old Paganism list
being.

Andy, the first and best thing to do is to get to work on the basic 
reading. Go to any largish bookstore, rifle through their "New Age" 
racks, and buy the books which grab your attenti. Expect to read at least 
one schlock book for each decent book you find. ButFg}, reading is the 
first step. (ugh, line noise...)

There may be plenty of good folks in Charlotte, but the first step is 
reading. Later, Bill

- Yes.  I am not quite totally serious yet, but getting there.

I've been meaning to post this for some time,  and with the growing talk of a
Paga Diaspora, feel that now is a good time. The following post is an advert
for a gathering my Circle is trying to organize for next year. The perfect
opportunity to 'check out' Canada, if the Fundy wing of the Republican Party
continues to grow in strength.

At this stage, we have no data on who the speakers will be, as we are still
waiting for responses to invitations we have sent out. Please feel free to
contact me by Email for further information.
