$\"\"$ <\/a>Christine, our illustrious editor here at the Patheos Pagan Channel, has encouraged us bloggers to reach out and chat<\/a> with someone we have not actually met in person, but with whom we have had conversations, even debates, with, in cyberspace. The idea is to help elevate the discourse in the pagan blogosphere, and build our intellectual culture, as Christine put it.<\/p>\n

A wonderful idea, I say!<\/p>\n

Maybe some of you have seen that Lilith Dorsey of Voodoo Universe and I have been chatting about AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN lo, these past several months<\/a>? It has been fun and fascinating. I\u2019d sure love a chance to chat with another pagan blogger about, well, anything.<\/p>\n

I am not the excellent filmmaker Lilith Dorsey is, but the video invitation<\/a> she made for this event inspired me! Check it out, especially her Aleister Crowley impersonation\u2026<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s have coffee, or tea, or cocoa, or maybe a bottle of hard cider or beer, choose your bevvie, and we\u2019ll set some time aside to chat!<\/p>\n

Feel free to leave a response in the comments section, if this kind of thing sounds good to you. Or you never know, I just might come a-calling\u2026<\/p>\n
