Friday Scribe Fest

The bloggers at The Daily Scribe have been a busy bunch this week! There were so many great posts - where do I begin? These are a few of my favorites but I encourage you to check out the many others.

Once again, Jason Pitzi-Waters at The Wild Hunt is the go-to guy when it comes to keeping a pulse on cultural items of interest to the Pagan community. (I wish I knew what news feeds were in his in box!) This week he had a number of great posts. Old Bones, Old Stones, New Pagans highlights the current debate about what is proper use of ancient burial sites. Excitement grows for the December general release of a surefire hit as we are Entering Pan's Labyrinth. This was fun: Taking Syncretism to New Heights. As usual, he keeps us aware of the latest Pagan News of Note.

Did you know that The Internet Makes You A Terrorist? Tim Boucher at Pop Occulture Blog gives us the scoop.

Mik Moore at jspot.org asks Who Cares About the Poor?

I thought Rachel's post Speaking from our soft places at Radical Torah was lovely. Especially her conclusion: "Whether our prayers are rooted in gratitude or in fear, in exultation or in sorrow, they arise out of our impermanence…and ascend toward the One Who transcends all impermanence, fragility, and change. Every time we pray, we walk in the footsteps of our earliest ancestors, the contemporaries of mortal Enosh, who first learned to call upon God’s name."

Sojourner at A Pagan Sojourn reports on some controversy brewing over the Acceptance of College Clubs. An evangelical group plans to protest the formation of a new Pagan club. To me the answer is simple - either religious groups are permitted or they're not. If one group is allowed to exist, surely another should be.

What do you call a group of buzzards? Mark, aka Insane Zamboni, at The Journey explains why doing anything by committee makes us feel a bit undone. Anne Johnson, did you see this? I thought of you!

Mike at Unknowing Mind asks an interesting and thought-provoking question: Is A Physical Expression of Spiritual Practice Necessary?

Mark at Way Out West highlights Greenpeace's efforts to Green My Apple!

Katagrapho gives us a lesson in exegesis with Dinosaur Teeth or Frog Legs?

Dave at The Mindful Mission shares some simple lyrics by Ben Lee in Sunday Worship - Wake Up. The song implores us to wake up to the change around us and, borrowing a phrase from Nike, just do it - whatever it is. I'm adding this to my list of affirmations.

"I wish I knew what news feeds were in his in box!"

I'm a big believer in Google News. I use their search the news function to sift through the stories looking for Pagan stuff. I also subscribe to WWRN, and read the major e-zines (Salon, Slate) and then a handful of blogs that are tapped into communities I'm not.

I usually spend around two hours a day doing the blog (but its all worth it!).

Hey... found you through my technorati... I am honored to be linked... thank you...

I love your site and am fascinated by your pagan ways and no, they aren't foreign to me. My stepmother is a white witch of sorts... I cannot remember the name of her exact path but she recently did a cleansing for us and a ritual that should help us sell our house...

Anyway, no more blabbering on... nice to meet you...

Saw it. Learned something new. Am in your debt! Blessings of the dark moon to you!
