Dragonfly discusses
the importance of storytelling in the growth of children.
As Pagans we rely on these myths heavily to give us stories
about the many deities we choose to follow or identify
with.
This month, the Editor decided to forgo
a multitude of articles to dedicate this issue to some
beautiful words of poetry in the hope of lifting the hearts
and souls of readers. The collection of these poems are
deicated as Tributes to the Victoria Bushfire Victims.

A MUST READ
The
EDITORIAL
Your have heard all the talk about
"The Ancient Ways Incorporated"and
we know it has pinged your interest but a lot of people
are overly shy to get involved. TAWI is the first of it's
kind in Australia if not the rest of the World. It is
not an alliance or association or any kind of political
heirarchy or pagan promotional group. It is a Community
Service and Network Organisation set up to assist pagan
families in need.
The
Guru and his faithful companion, the Doggie Lama, have
retired to the Sovereign State of Donbovawitthegunma and
as they rode off into the sunset ala George W. Bush and
Little Johnnie Howard, the Editor decided to retire their
columns and the comic page and introduce to the wider
community the irrelevant carrying ons in this wonderful
comical community. Donbovawitthegunma will become a new
feature of this Newsletter from February onwards which
will feature funny stories, jokes, the occassional cartoons
and some extraordinary contest. Get the feel of the Sovereign
State and have a visit.
Here is
another Australian Asatru/ Odinist Sites. Very informative
and well contructed .
Worth exploration by Kindred Folk and very much worth
bookmarking for further reference.
Recently
a call for contributions for this issue had a few people
offer some treasurers of articles mostly attached to their
own web sites and so rather than borrow their individual
work and re-publish here I have decided to feature their
wonderful essays and articles through the Web Review column.
I would like to thank Robert Barton for his contribution
of Modern
Druidry and in return feature his magnificent
site.
