Wintertime Thoughts

It is only December 9 as I type this, and Yule is not until December 21. For the last week, on the high desert at 4,600 feet, I notice my morning walks with my cats have been at near-freezing. This morning I looked up and there was the first snow of the season on the mountains. Certainly feels like winter here.

Our readers brought to my attention some Heathen and Pagan podcasts, a type of community media we are developing to get out the stories that might not interest the mass media.

Our readers asked for interviews of authors, teachers and tradition founders, this time on both sides of the pond, as the English refer to the Atlantic Ocean.

Readers alerted me to how community members take part in larger society. Their beliefs don’t just affect our community, but spread into greater society. The English newspaper articles I read about the two Druids do not mention their religion, but their purpose to help get ordinary people a say in the redevelopment of their neighborhood.

I am happy with the quality of our interview subjects, but worry we may be missing stories of ordinary Pagans and Heathens, stories that might inspire others to take part in our community -- people who doubt they have any special talents.

They are the backbone of our community, doing much of the behind-the- scenes work. If noticed and encouraged, they could become our leaders. So please keep your eye out for them as well.

So tell me who you would like interviewed and enjoy the ACTION that you have helped create.
