Signs of spring are beginning to arrive here in southern Ontario. Among them, of course, is a great pile of exams for me to grade. But when all of that work is done, I’ll be speaking at three upcoming events.
Two I’ve already mentioned:
- the Beltaine Fair at Melange Magique, Montreal, Quebec, April 25th & 26th
- “Civilisation and the Goddess” presented by Argiope – Donne nel Sacro, May 9th, Milan, Italy.
Here’s a new one to announce:
- Spirit of the West Druid Gathering, Pigeon Lake, near Edmonton Alberta, 13th to 14th June. On Friday 12th June, I will also sign books in the Chapters store in the West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping mall in the entire world (well, until they build a bigger one in Dubai).
And in other news: I will soon start contributing a regular column to PanGaia Magazine
If your organisation or group might be interested in having me visit and do a presentation or two, feel free to email me and enquire.
And now back to marking exams for me. And brewing tea. I think I consume at least one pot of Earl Grey per dozen exams…
In the first two weeks of May of this year, I will be visiting Switzerland and Italy! I got my flight details just yesterday.
On the weekend of 8th/9th May, I will be doing a presentation and workshop in Milan, for Argiope – Donna nel Sacro, which is an “Italian, pagan-affiliated, but non-denominational, organization devoted to helping women explore the feminine divine within themselves and the world.”. More details about this event will follow in the next week or two.
Upon return from the trip East, I will promptly go West: some time in June I will be attending an event in Lincoln, Nebraska. This will be my first “appearance” in the USA. Again, more details to follow.
More “locally” (in a manner of speaking), on the weekend of 25th/26th April, I will be attending Beltaine Fair at Le Melange Magique, in Montreal Quebec. This looks like it will be a fun event! Other speakers include a few well known and well respected people who are also personal friends of mine, including author Arin Murphy-Hiscock, storyteller J.D. Hobbes, blacksmith Helmut, and author Meredith Macdonald. The Fair starts at 10am and runs to 6pm on both days.
At one time I was planning to pass through England on the way to Italy and Switzerland, but it seems I haven’t the money. And, once I return to Canada from this latest planned trip to Europe, I will probably be almost entirely out of money. Still, I need to do as much travel like this in order to promote my books (note shameless plug there) — but more to the point, I just don’t want the “current economic climate” to get in the way of living a good life.
I hope to see everyone some time this year!
All you lovely people in Toronto, or near enough to it:
I invite you to the Building Bridges Pub Moot tonight where I will be signing copies of my fourth book,
Location: The Groundhog Pub – 401 Bloor street east. (Nearest TTC: Sherbourne station.)
Date: Today! 18th February, 2009
Time: 7pm.
About the book:
Pagans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. While this is true, there are also many written works which constitute its “testament”, or its central literary expressions of spiritual identity. Some of them are thousands of years old, such as the Descent of Ishtar, and the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Others are more recent, such as the Charge of the Goddess. These written works have not been brought together, in the same book, since the movement began.
“A Pagan Testament” collects these original works, along with the poetry and prose that inspired the founders of Wicca when it all began. It also includes the largest collection of circle songs and wisdom teachings ever published: over 100 wisdom-teachings and 130 circle songs, contributed by almost two thousand people, from twelve different countries around the world!

Buy copies directly from me at the pub tonight for $25. You can also get copies from Amazon or other online retailers, or direct from the publisher. It can also be ordered from any bookstore in the world. I will also have a few copies of OSV available too.
Since it’s so much fun to make these “trailers” for the books, I made another one.
