I have posted our 2015 Beltane ritual on the Beltane page. This year we did it as a fire festival.

We wrote a ritual for Lughnassadh but plans fell through and we were unable to perform it. We have posted the text on our Lammas page in case anyone else wants to use it. The theme is drought and harvest.
So as a fallback we shifted to an esbat, because the moon is full tonight, and we kept the drought theme. You can see that on our main Esbats page, since it follows our "ordinary" and seemed like a useful example to share. There is a new article in the "Writing" section, "Sword Without a Hilt: Concepts of Evil." Read it and explore ideas about wickedness from Paganism and other traditions.
There is a new article posted, "Guides for the Urban Pagan." It features plant and animal totems for suburban and city environments.
There is a new essay up in the "Our Voices" section, titled "Janet's Wild Ride: First Esbat."
I've added a "Crafts" entry on the "Activities" topic page, which links to the "Crafts" section page. The "Sitemap" has been updated with recent additions. There is a new "Classes" section under "Activities." It includes pages on a "PVC Drum-making Workshop" and our "Year-and-a-Day Class."
The "Essays & Articles" section now includes material through 1999. Some other pages have been touched up too. The "Poetry" section now contains at least one poem per year from 1992-2011. The "Essays & Articles" section has several new articles; I'm going through my archive looking for things to add, and I'm up to 1997, although some of the material already onsite is from later years.
"Essays & Articles" now has an overview on its section page, not just a blank space. I've done also significant updates to the "Esbats" and "Sabbats" pages. I've added a "Writing" section. So far it contains "Composing Magic" (about my how-to book on magical writing), "Essays & Articles" (more how-to and other information), and "Poetry" (with poems from 2002-2007). This section is not done yet, and will develop into a sizable archive of Pagan materials. Most of this stuff is reprinted from things I wrote for other venues, collected here in a convenient bundle.
Other sections have been touched up as proofreading reveals typos and places that need improvement. |
