This year's Flash Rite Pub Moot with Mummers' Play on Oct. 29 was not only a popular hit in downtown Asheville -- it produced so many fantastic photographs, we had to build a whole new online photo gallery to show them off! Now you can take a visual tour (and some audio, too) of the three pub performances, the two processionals, the spiral dance, and several of the eeriest ghost orbs we've yet seen, at http://oldenwilde.org/gallery/. Read all about this innovatively traditional Samhain celebration at http://oldenwilde.org/samhain.
Last week Lady Passion and *Diuvei represented Paganism and Wicca in a lively interfaith dialogue panel at UNC Asheville on the question, "Is Religion Relevant?" Buddhists, Sikhs, Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, atheists and more also participated in front of a standing-room-only crowd of students and members of the public. You can watch a video of the event at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewN2Pi8Xkgw&feature=share. Find out more about it at http://oldenwilde.org/blog/160/pagan-perspective/unca-interfaith-dialogue/.
