A Moment

I attended the Weisser author panel this afternoon with Oakmouse.

To my right, not ten feet away, stood Thorn Coyle. The focused intensity of her presence is amazing: contained, but ready to move and to manifest at whatever moment she wills.

The first author to speak was Z Budapest. Twenty years and two weeks ago, I bought my first books about goddess worship. One of them was Z's The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries, volume 1.

As Z spoke, I was intensely aware of Thorn watching her, and of myself sitting at a right angle to these two powerful, influential women, one older than me, one younger. I saw in the two of them and their disparate styles the growth and development of the path we shared (each in her own way), and felt incredibly privileged to be part of it.

Rock on! Congrats on the whole experience. It must feel really good to keep that kind of company.

It's uttrerly amazing here, and I've been delighted to be in close proximity to some of the most influential people in modern Paganism -- all of whom (so far) have been gracious and funny.

Orion Foxwood was a particular delight, both as a presenter and ritual leader and to meet.
