First, I like beer in super soakers, if ya' don't mind. Corona with a twist of Orange (yeah, I know, I am weird...) Second, Tim shared the original "cow experience" with me...and I am still laughing...would love to see something along this line start up again ...although I wasn't around for the original version. But I do know that leaving ritual circles is not acceptable, even to defend one's livestock. Third, also have experience in production of small format publications, and layout, during the real 'cut and paste" days, but and like the other Debbie (I too, go by a similar name on the out side) type at a pretty good clip...and do some layout on the computer, and if there is one thing I have learned over the years, one program is very similar to the next and anything can be learned. Wade, you have now gotten at the very least two volunteers...can we meet at Fires with those of like minds, and discuss this? Perhaps we could begin with a semiannual publication? The move to a quarterly? Mind is now racing backwards to cutting, pasting, layout, hmmm, and we don't even have to use that little black tape that was such a pain...oh, I mean challenge! And Thanks yo Mino... "Community"  What does it mean?  What is it worth?   What does it take in order for one to function......and survive? Forgive me dear ones, I quit preaching almost 20 years ago...so I'd do better to just remember the crede of my initiation which is: Honor all paths, and do yer (censored) job. We all need reminders...but I don't like censorship...so just say what you mean...oh, yeah, against the rules...LOL... I have a dear friend who taught accounting...she used to say about life... "The value of anything is what you are willing to give up to have it." VALUE...we give up...maybe a few hours a year...that is what we give up to do community services and teach workshops. (But do we really give up anything when doing our community service?) And what we get in return is something that is invaluable...a stronger group, a stronger family...so I figure that we are making out like bandits when it comes to giving 4 hours each gathering, and what we get is a much more cohesive family, one that is safe, well-cared for, has children who have wonderful role models, we are all better educated on our Paths, and so many more "pay offs" for a few hours we give to OUR family/community. Not to mention we are building a stronger web of like minds...always connected to one another via vehicles like this e-group. Mino, Cliona, Kehayke, Galwyn, Silver Wolf...et al in the SW FL area...see you Sunday...you all better have a stack of hugs saved!!! Blessings, and Light, Tyla [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 4 Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 10:01:59 -0400 From: "Omega Blackburn" <omega@wmd.net> Subject: Fw: [pagan_connections_virginia] 'Witch' Fights Legal First to End Exile hope she has better luck than me....

Reuters Friday April 6 9:09 AM ET 'Witch' Fights Legal First to End Exile ACCRA (Reuters) - An 80-year-old Ghanaian woman has taken pioneering steps toward ending an ancient practice which condemns dozens of women each year to a life of exile and misery as witches, the state Ghanaian Times said on Thursday. Janet Tibu has taken legal action against the chief and elders of Peki-Avetile in the Volta region, who declared her a witch last August, fined her and cast her out of her village. Dozens of Ghanaian women suffer a similar fate each year. Some are stoned to death. Others are confined to camps where witchdoctors subject them to traditional exorcism rites after which they are forced to till the land as bonded laborers. Tibu was accused by a traditional village tribunal last year of bewitching a local herb doctor, who claimed she was the cause of his poverty and impotence. She says she suffered humiliation as crowds jeered and taunted her after she was convicted. She has since lived in agony and poverty, isolated from her children who are forbidden to visit her. Her court action pits the ancient customary law of the village against the modern British-based legal system inherited from the former colonial power in what could be a landmark case for hundreds of Ghanaian ``witches.''
