The
World in Pools
Herewith is a beginning of some of the community I value
online. I choose who and what I like to. No rings, no circles, I'm sorry. I
choose. Among the values I choose for are quality of content, ease of online
access evenfor those of us paying for our piddling slow connections on our copper
telephone lines. No Java, no Flash, no frames, no video or audio. Just thoughtful
material, written in reasonably sound English, a few quality visuals used with
restraint, and a reasonable downloadtime. Those
are my criteria. Beyond that, it's my whim and the luck of the Web.
Longevity counts…
- The Witches' Voice
http://www.witchvox.com/
Originally drafted to work on Laurie Cabot's web site, these fine folks
followed their vision to a priceless networking web site for witches and pagans
the world over. Many of you may have found your way here through their site.
Rich in personal and group content.
- The Covenant of the Goddess
http://www.cog.org/
Founded in Berkeley in 1975, the Covenant of the Goddess provides networking
among Stateside witches of many stripes, as well as a public presence in the
interfaith community. (CoG sent representatives to the World Parliament of
Religions in both 1993 (Chicago, Illinois, USA) and 2003 (Johannesburg, South
Africa). Solitaries as well as covens are eligible for membership; elder (ministerial)
credentials are available to elders of covens based on their tradition's criteria.
- Aquarian Tabernacle Church of Wicca
http://www.aquatabch.org/
I still find the name somewhere between funky, funny, and absurd, but there's
no doubt they do good work. Not only at their home location in Washington
state, but in other ways. Active in the interfaith community, their founder,
Pete "Pathfinder" Davis, was the first State Interfaith representative
of a Pagan religion. The church has also founded an accredited Pagan seminary,
and the rapidly growing Spiral Scouts for young people.
