Book progress & link dump

I am a little drained today, having finished revisions on my book Her Hidden Children: The Rise of Wicca and Contemporary Paganism in America. On Tuesday I will e-mail files to my editor at AltaMira Press, followed by the printouts. Naturally it is not as long as he hoped, and he was already asking me today if I planned to do the indexing myself–or have the cost charged against my royalties. Indexing, what a thought. Maybe after the semester is over I can think about indexing.

Meanwhile, Tarot artist Joanna Powell Colbert comments on a friend’s Goddess rosaries.

Archaeology magazine’s web site offers a collection of articles on the original Olympic Games and some myths about them.

They also have an interview with art historian Kenneth Lapatin, author of a recent monograph, Mysteries of the Snake Goddess, arguing that the famous Minoan “snake goddess” figurine was a late 19th-century fake.
