This site is intended as an outlet for my writings about experiences within Neopaganism. It isn't intended specifically for newcomers, although there are some essays which may be of particular interest to someone new to the spirituality. Also, most essays were written with a Neopagan audience in mind -- I don't typically explain concepts or vocabulary that are common to our community.
There is no guarantee that I'll update this site frequently. If I continue to write pieces, they'll be posted; if my interest in writing fades, the site will remain as a snapshot of a particular portion of my life. If you would like to be sent an email when I update the site (probably once every 1-2 months), let me know at the email address below. I won't ever share that email address with anyone else, and it will only be used to send you a note if I've put a new essay up on the page.
In each section, essays are listed in the order that they were written, with the most recent writings at the bottom. For those new to the site, I'd suggest reading my Statement of Belief first.
In general, I'm not a lover of "fancy" sites - sites with graphics, frames or chat boards. So, this one doesn't have those things. The site is almost entirely plain text and should be quick to load and cause few problems with browsers. I have used cascading style sheets, so browsers that don't support those may see a less attractive layout.
I've also kept the number of links to external sites to a minimum -- a search on any decent search engine (I recommend Google) will pull up thousands of pages related to Paganism, and there's no need to reproduce that volume here. Since I'm interested in writing, most links will be to sites with either a significant amount of writing, or a specific piece of writing that I find particularly intriguing. I've labeled external links as [Site], [Essay], or [Poem], in order to give you an idea of how big an endeavor following the link will be.
Finally, these are my writings. If you wish to put them on your site, leave the copyright notice and byline intact. I'd also appreciate a link back to this site.
Enjoy. I'd be interested in any comments you might have. I can be reached at the following email address:-Jonobie Ford
