EDITORIAL
When I published the July issue
of this Newsletter, I found myself again and again drawn back to
the article, "Green
Creed" authored by my good friend
Barley
Singer. I
must have read it at least a dozen times.
So
impressed with its contents, that I decided then and there that
the September issue had to be an Environmental/ Eco-Pagan
edition.
I busied myself
with research and inspiring others to contribute to my theme and
endeavoured to write my own article based on what my research
had revealed. World's
End is the result.
Ironically,
whilst collating this issue, Dragonfly and I witnessed our own Environmental
Disaster taking place in the vacant lot next to our
residence.
What we
witnessed was nothing short of Environmental
Vandalism as the "cowboy" sub-contractors
up-rooted all and any trees which where in their way. Dragonfly,
was particularly devastated when they up-rooted the Liquid Amber
which she has been photographing and using in her column to mark
the seasons and issues.
I
was equally appalled when the crane-driver deliberately knocked
down branches of the 50 year old Willow on our property, just
because the over hanging branches were in his way. Mind you our
land-lord hasn't got Council approval to cut the willow down yet
and this is holding up his own subletting of the land which we
currently reside on.
High Priestess Frances Billinghurst of the
Temple of the Darkmoon once more consents to grace our
Newsletter with yet another wonderfully written and
informative article which is appropriate for the current
Environmental issue.
Introducing a NEW
semi-regular column by Willow Firesong. Some marvellous and brilliant wisdom to
enlighten and refresh all. This month Willow writes about Candle Safety. So everything you might wish to know about Candles might be found here.
A
interesting story about our resident Possum on steroids,
"Arnie" coupled with new research being under-taken by
the University of SA. Read the story and the Media release
and do a survey.
Part Two of Michael
Wallace's brilliant Novelette. The first and we hope and not the last
of short stories contributed by our many friends. If you
have a story you would like to share feel free to
contribute.
The Cosmic Cauldron is proud to support
a group of Pagan musicians whose band has an
extra-ordinary following in the USA and are destined to
take the world by storm.
Lilium
Carlson sent me this article which she described as a
tribute to her Heathen path. It is well worth a read as it
gives a young person's perspective on the Nine Noble
Virtues of the Asatrur.
If you have managed to
scroll this far down the page and if my book review of an
old book "Mountain People" has pinged your
interest then you may wish to read my own insightful
article on the STUPIDITY of human kind. Is it the
end of the World?
The
text of the 46th Annual Bennett Lecture for the 50th
Anniversary of Geology at the University of Leicester given
by Sir Crispin Tickell, a member of the Leicester i-Science
Advisory Board.
