I've just returned from a trip to London where I had the pleasure of meeting an incredible group of Pagans at Treadwells. I gave two workshops and it went very, very well. I was actually sorry to leave -- London is a great city. The upshot of all of this, at least insofar as this blog is concerned, is that I haven't had much of a chance to write any articles. So while I gather my wits (yeah, I know, good luck with that, right? lol) and get over jetlag, I will share some articles, written by others with you. 


If you read nothing else on this list, read this article: http://wytchofthenorth.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/so-you-wanna-be-a-godspouse-some-plain-talk/. It's one of the most pointed and frankly brilliant articles written about being a godspouse that I have ever read. It needed to be written and addresses some very disturbing trends that I and other godspouses have witnessed for more than a decade in the community at large. Go. Read. 


There is a new Heimdall shrine up: http://www.northernpaganism.org/shrines/heimdall/welcome.html. Check it out. 


Finally ( I said it was a SMALL roundup, folks) there's this article about gender issues, misinterpretation of grave finds, and the power of Viking women: http://sciencenordic.com/don’t-underestimate-viking-women


More will follow soon....

Thank you for linking to my post, Galina! It was a rant born of total frustration but I am glad it is said and out there, and that people seem to be making an effort to digest it.

It's an important and much needed article and I hope it'll generate productive discussion within the various communities. I think it's one of the best things you've written.
