I wish to
extend an invitation to our entire community – our Dedicants, Friends and
members, who can attend to join me in a very special Tradition gathering
Saturday, June 07, 2008.
I, along
with some other members of the Tradition leadership, will come together for a
Tradition Town Hall meeting, to discuss the current status of the Tradition and
our plans for the future. We also will enjoy giving each other impromptu tarot
card readings, cathcing up with each other’s busy lives and just having a good
time!
We wish to
institute these type of community gatherings twice a month, and invite as many
members as would like to attend to join us, as a form of
community-building and strengthening the foundation of the Tradition as we move
towards a future of continuing to build up the Tradition and the Learning
Circle.
We want
your input, your ideas and your suggestions for ways that we can best serve
you all as members of this community, and things you would like to see put in
place to help all members develop and grow spiritually and as a community. We
can also discuss at this tme our plans for an online Tradition Litha ritual as
well.
The
meeting will be held in voice over Skype, and we welcome all members, even
those without microphones, to join us at 3pm Pacific and Arizona time (4pm
Mountain, 5pm Central and 6 pm Eastern).If you have not done so, please

As everyone knows, the Tradition is at its birth. Changes are being
made daily to improve, organize, and build a Tradition. The following
text can also be viewed on the "Who We Are" page on the Tradition site.
We are asking for your feedback to help us become who we want to be, to
be a community of Pagans in an online environment.
Lady Tegan and Lord Daniel talks about the GLBT community and also interviews Lady Serenity about the changes in the Tradition. This podcast is the first of many to come for Wise Voices Podcast.
On Monday 5th of May, I had the absolute pleasure of attending a presentation of the music from the upcoming production of Persephone, starring the wonderful Wendy Rule.
The story is told by Wendy through her beautiful singing of songs from the points of view of the Triple Goddess - Persephone (or Kore, in her maiden aspect), Demeter (the mother) and Hecate (the crone) - as Persephone makes her descent into the Underworld. The music was played by two incredibly talented women, Elissa Goodrich on percussion, and Rachel Samuel on cello, and of course Wendy's voice was amazing.
The sound was mesmerising and almost haunting, and the dramatic aspect of the production was seen through Wendy's wonderful movement and dancing - you could tell she was really loving her time there!
After the show, Wendy came out to the bar to meet the attendees - she ensured she made time for every single person in the room, and signed CDs for those purchasing them. As I introduced myself to Wendy, she stood agast at the fact that it was funny we were both in the same city, but came together through the podcast interview Serenity took with Wendy.
Wendy took the time to pose for a photo with me (as seen above) and asked me to keep in touch (which I will definitely do). This was a fantastic experience for me to meet Wendy and I am very jealous of those of you attending the show in Phoenix on the 21st!
Wendy is playing at a fundraising event for the Path of the Wise Ones Tradition on the 21st May 2008 at the Chez Nous Cocktail Lounge in Phoenix, AZ - $20 entry. For more information, visit http://wise-ones.org/content/view/44/1/
