Oh My Gods!

I recently encountered "Oh My Gods!" which is one of the funniest comics strips I've seen in years. My first encounter was with the February 4th, 2004 edition and really enjoyed it. I think that I'll contact them when I decide to bring Keltria: Journal of Druidism and Celtic Magick back next Spring.

Witchvox Article

The "Keltrian Druidism" article on Witchvox, which I wrote in 2003, now has exceeded 6,000 reads.

Supreme Court Upholds Prisoners' Religious Freedom

Americans United for Separation of Church and State reported that Supreme Court Upheld Prisoners' Religious Freedom:


A unanimous Supreme Court ruling reaffirmed religious liberty.

The court upheld the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), a federal law that prohibits government from limiting prisoners' religious freedom without first showing a compelling reason.

The lawsuit was brought by adherents of “nonmainstream” religions: the
Satanist, Wicca, and Asatru religions, and the Church of
Jesus Christ Christian who claimed the Ohio prison system failed to accomodate free exercise of religion.

We have had problems with several state prisons not delivering Druidic materials to inmates.

Druid Army?

I really enjoyed the original Star Wars, and liked the second and third installments. I didn't care for the fourth and fifth installments for many reasons. I was looking forward to seeing the final installment (Episode III) Revenge of the Sith but now I read , in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that there is a Separatist druid army that nspires the war-weary Senate to hand over its power to a dictator. Great. A Druid Army sounds like an oxymoron to me. I was looking forward to seeing the movie, but now.... Sigh. I guess I'll wait for it to come out on video.

Druid Candidates in Carlisle

The News & Star published an opinion regarding the upcoming election in Carlisle (UK) that "Careful scrutiny of election pamphlets will be needed, in order to eliminate those with a tendency towards the occult, citing membership of extreme religious cults or witches’ covens and attending Druid ceremonies."

Wow! From the sounds of it, there must be several Pagans running. What a progressive place. I'll have to add it to my travel plans.
