Folks,
I publish a small newsletter approximately 1000 subscribers. GrotonWitch's
Grimoire is dedicated primarily to protecting our First Amendment rights with
special emphasis on religious freedom.
I include an Off-Topic section where, among other subjects, I post
announcements of other people's publications and websites along with
announcements of upcoming gatherings.
There is also a section I call Subscribers' Soapbox where readers can add
their own observations and commentaries.
Beside, GrotonWitch's Grimoire, I have two other lists. One is dedicated to
news that is First Amendment/Pagan Pertinent, articles gleaned from the
world's mainstream media. The other focuses on humor, wisdom, spirituality,
poetry and other intriguing trivia.
Unless I receive a reply, rest assured I will not send any more uninvited
postings. Please feel free to distribute this invitation to any folk you
think might be interested.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WISH TO BE ADDED TO MY MAILING LISTS FOR:
GROTONWITCH'S GRIMOIRE - Newsletter
First Amendment/Pagan Pertinant NEWS
HUMOR, WISDOM, POETRY, RITUAL, SHARING, METAPHYSICS, ETC.
***Even though I am regional director for New England,
my newsletter covers global issues of
religious freedom
and other related topics.
*** If replying, please specify which list(s) you wish to subscribe to.
*** Please reply with "ADD" in the Subject heading and be patient if I
can't immediately respond.
*** Let me know also if you are local to the Boston MetroWest area and would
like to be notified of upcoming happenings and events.
Again, You are not at present on any of my mailing lists and will NOT be
added UNLESS you respond. If you do nothing, you will not receive any more
postings.
'Nuff said!
May the Gods always stand between you and harm
in all the empty places you must walk.

Unless there is freedom for ALL,
under the Law, there is freedom for NONE!
Anything is impossible until someone *makes* it possible:
That's what magick is all
about.
There is no 'Supernatural' only *natural law*
which we have yet to comprehend."
"There is no contradiction in Nature only contradiction in what we know
of it."

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully
as when they do it from religious conviction."

Orthodoxy is a response to a religion's loss of
piety.
Fundamentalism is a religion's
response
to a loss of power.
FELLOW PAGANS: It's time for us to get in touch with our Inner *ADULT*!
MORAL INDIGNATION: Jealousy with a halo

****************************************************************
A Pagan Credo
We worship the Great Goddess of Nature in all Her resplendent diversity.
She is the Birthgiver: the origin of all life on this planet.
Threefold are Her ways: Maiden, Mother, and Crone, for She is all Goddesses
and all women. We honor Her everywhere: for She is everything; and in
everyone:
for She is all of us.
We worship the Horned One, Lord of Field and Forest.
He is the wild and natural man in each of us: innocent, unfettered, and
untamed.
He is Lord both of Light and of Darkness: all Gods and all men.
Our Lord is both Seed and Sower, Hunter and Prey; the eternal cycle of
Sunlight and Shadow. We honor Him everywhere: for He is everything; and in
everyone:
for He is all of us.
Our Temple is a Sacred Space between the Worlds of Gods and Mortals.
We worship in the Circle and in Nature: in our bodies, hearts, and minds. Our
Gods are everywhere; but most of all they are within us. Therefore it is both
our right and our sacred duty to discover and develop the Being within:
for we may claim no greater Power than that of our own Higher Nature.
Our Goddess says: "If what you seek you do not find within yourself, you
shall never find it! For behold: I have been with you from the beginning of
Time and I am that which you shall embrace at the end of all your desire.
We are a free people who dare to be Ourselves. To each of us is given the
right to choose Good or Evil, Truth or Falsehood, Wisdom or Folly as our own
understanding shall determine them. To each of us is given the responsibility
for our choices: our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will, is, and shall ever be, the greatest of all
our Laws.
