I’m not a sheep, or the shepherd, or the herding dog, or even a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m more like a coyote over in the next valley, trotting along, looking for an easy meal. [Read more...]
Ask Angus 21: Music for Bats with Hats
October 14, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Both bats and pagans can be seen flitting around forest meadows without a stitch of clothing on. Bats are beneficial to the environment, eating tons and tons of harmful insects every night. Witches also work for betterment of the Earth, and we also eat lots after dark. [Read more...]
Book Review: A Year at Stonehenge
September 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Even those who are familiar with Stonehenge will be blown away by James Davies’ photographs. He gets the macro (from a balloon!), the obscure (runnels on the Slaughter Stone), and the micro (close-ups of the sarsens so clear you can see individual grains of sand that make them up). [Read more...]
AskAngus 20: All You Need is Maenad Love
September 3, 2013 by 3 Comments
I don’t think it is earth-shattering to have received a gift from Dionysus when you are devoted to Pan. Pan, for all the Gods, is hardly one to insist upon patronical monogamy. [Read more...]

How many Angels can dance on the head of a pin? Well as I see it, we got two problems here: 1), define this term “Angel”, and 2), what type of pin are we talking about? Hat pins? Needles?

Somewhere, over Lughanasadh (Way up High….)
July 30, 2013 by 1 Comment
So as I was standing in the middle of a redwood grove, in the middle of 80 cheering celebrants, wearing a bright green corduroy jacket with gold lam̩ trim, tights, a cutlass and a top hat Рright as I was about to kiss my High Priestess, who was wearing a red Renaissance era ball gown, and who was a man named Skot, my mind decided that was the moment to consider the question: What in the HELL was I doing?
