It's Clean-Up time!

[maenad nuri]

Ladies and Gentlemen, once again, I'm off to tackle the Links list and the PM list.

This is a monster task, if you are unaware. It involves looking at every link to see if they are still good, not just looking for 404's, but also quality. The PM list involves looking at when the person last signed on. I have put my cut off point at 3 months this time around.

I am also considering looking at making a better list of recommended books, and the books to avoid. It might involve me playing around with the threads themselves.

During this time, I am also revising the guidelines, AND doing homework.

What I need from people is a list of new links to add on, or any additional content that you would like to see. I will consider it.

PLEASE put this information in this topic. PM's have a habit of me forgetting to go back to them.

Thank you!

PM List Updated!

I removed people based on two criteria: If they hadn't logged in since August and if they are still a member of the guild. If you feel you belong on the list in a category there, or a new one, please let me know!

I don't wanna be the only Hellenic/Roman person there. sad

And the Link List has been decimated.

If you'd like to repopulate it, please do so.

Nuri, I'm Hellenic!  

[midara the happy banshee]

Me too! We're here to support you! blaugh

I knew you two were, but I didn't know if y'all were open to PMed Questions.  

[IH_Zero]

I'm open to questions about Egyptian mythology in general. Not so much on the Kemetic Orthodoxy (The temple here in the US, that is), since I have some issues with their practices, and the fact that I practice a solitary Kemetic Recon path of my own.

I'm open to questions, though I'm nothing close to an expert. I've got good mythology resources, a little common sense and a few years under my belt, but that's about it. sweatdrop

Oh yeah, always willing to help.

A link for the link list: http://paganachd.com/index.html It should go under Celtic or Celtic Reconstruction.

Feel free to add me to the PM list. Stick me where you please.


I'll go through my good collection later and provide suggested books- but what would it take to get that racist prat moved to the Grey list?

For one- 90% of his "G~ Religion/Magic" books are generic neo-paganism with some Rroma words tossed in for flavor.

His history in many of his books are flat our wrong. Hate to break it to the Buckland fans, but he wasn't the one who "introduced" witchcraft to the Americas.

*lol* Uncle Bucky is just a wee bit full of himself, ain't he? I especially "love" the way he cites sources by pointing to another one of his books where he's said the same thing again.

You could put me down for music if that's in any way relevant or useful.

And where do the Cunningham books sit on the book list?

Cunningham is great for Neopagan Magic 101.

And due to the turn in the debate- he may or may not be a valid source for "Wicca". ~shrugs~

Kudzu>> Heh. Buckland should meet a sticky end in a dark ally with some pissed off Sinti.

Cunningham's books bother me, not because of his theology or anything, but because his writing style strikes me as rather condescending. I will admit that during my short fluffy phase, I bought his "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner." I've flipped through his other books, and found them equally sucky.
