Virtually Troy
I still have not see Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom in the movie, but, meanwhile, some complex computerized reconstructions of the various levels of Troy can be seen online here. They are part of a web site, Project Troia, documenting collaborative archaeological work between the University of T?bingen and the University of Cincinnati.

The Pagan Blogosphere
If you’re reading this, you may be wondering where to find other blogs by Pagans. And the short answer is, there is no one place. But here are some suggestions:
The gigantic and professionally designed Witches’ Voice web site has a blog section.
You can find some links at The Juggler, the collaborative Pagan blog.
Another site that rates blogs is Pagan Blogs of the WWW. Find yet another list here. And there is a somewhat outdated site here, although some links were dead the last time that I looked.
“A Witch among the Navajos” update
I have added a photo of Malcolm Brenner to his article “A Witch Among the Navajos,” which I added recently to my web site. This humorous photo did not appear in the original Gnosis article, but it was taken about the time of the events he describes, outside the very trailer next to the chapter house in Shiprock, New Mexico.
Malcolm posts occasionally about his writing and life here
Berkeley’s Pagan Pride Parade
Some photos from the Pagan Pride parade, 15 May 2004, in Berkeley, California, are online. (Image-intensive pages will load slowly on a dial-up connection.)
Blogging–and gardening–resume
Back from visiting a key North American cell of the International Tazi Conspiracy, M.C. and I are deeply involved (sore backs, dirty fingernails) in the frantic May gardening spurt imposed by Colorado weather, which goes from blizzard to summer in the blink of an eye.
One of this year’s goals is to enjoy some hawkmoth watching in the fading light of dusk. Actually, that’s a side benefit to having some of the Solanaceae with their white blooms in the night: Datura, Nicotiania, Hyoscyamus.
“The Founding Fathers of Wicca,” a graduate-school paper by Susan Young, currently at the University of Alberta, explores Aleister Crowley’s liturgical and other influence on Gardnerian Wicca. It was published in Axis Mundi: A Student Journal for the Academic Study of Religion, whose article index is here. The paper is in downloadable PDF format, about 180 KB.
Paganism on National Public Radio
This week, National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” program has been running a series on new religious movements, including Paganism. The initial segment, which includes an interview with J. Gordon Melton of the Institute for the Study of American Religion, can be heard online here.
If I am able to hear Thursday’s segment on Wicca live, it will be picked up from KRCC’s repeater somewhere on the highway around Wagon Mound, New Mexico.
That’s right, the notorious M.C. and I are going on the road for a few days. Blogging will resume around the 19th.
Read ‘The Policeman’
The creation of the blogosphere has given us new, unofficial ways of getting information. We can watch the television news about the fighting in Fallujah, Iraq, for instance, and then read one Iraqi’s personal response to it in a blog like Riverbend’s.
For another “behind the walls” perspective, this time on our loyal ally Saudi Arabia, visit The Religious Policeman. (No, that’s not his picture at upper right.) His take on life in the non-magic kingdom is a useful antidote to all the official coziness between the House of Bush and the House of Saud.
Greek Pagans battle for their rites
Followers of traditional Hellenic religion are becoming more visible, notes The Independent in this story.
Georgios, a distinguished lawyer with a turquoise ribbon in his hair to signify the circle of life, cannot see where the credibility problem lies. “The ancient Greeks invented logic, science, medicine and philosophy and built the Parthenon,” he says. “Are you telling me they didn’t know what they were doing when it came to religion?
No doubt the upcoming Olympic Games and, possibly, the meeting of the World Council of Ethnic Religons upcoming in June have something to do with this move for religious freedom.
