Next weekend, Pagan pride descends on North-Western NY in the form of the Central NY Pagan Pride Festival in Liverpool, NY (near Syracuse). I’m really excited about the keynote speaker, Patti Lafayllve. She’s a practicing heathen devoted to Freyja and seidh work.

The others… I didn’t like the format of the program or my username was notContinue reading “Finally getting the show on the road…”
