For those who don’t know, I edit/write a weekly Pagan newsletter called Ancient Whispers and have been doing so for about seven years. I post it to many different newsgroups, email lists, and other groups, but it occurs to me that some of my readers here are also Pagan and that they might enjoy reading it if I ever made mention of it. (Doh!) So Tuesday nights I will be posting a notice here for those interested parties. You can follow the link or not; the choice is yours. Below is a description of this week’s newsletter and an index of the contents.
Just a small note then, before you move on to the newsletter synopsis and index… I do accept donations (hint hint), but I would also accept articles if they were offered. If you’d like to contribute an article to the newsletter, just email it to me and I’ll look it over. I don’t pay because obviously I don’t make any money at this (see above hint), but you can see your name in print. And that’s always nice.
If you want to send money, please do! There’s a link on the newsletter page where you can do just that.
This week’s Tools of the Trade article is called the Clothes that Make the Witch. Even though some may choose not to wear clothes during rituals, you may want to read this article. Obviously, given the time of year, I hope people are not foolish enough to go skyclad in the Northern Hemisphere! I also make some mention of talismans in the article, and this week’s craft will give you some ideas on how to make your own charms and talismans. For those who do wear clothes during ritual, I’ve collected two Urls in the Sites of Interest where you can buy clothes and talismans and two with patterns to make your own clothes.
Next week will be the Yule edition of the newsletter with a Yule article. The Tools of the Trade Articles will resume on the 24th of December and conclude on the last day of the year.

Greets. I just wanted to say one thing, I’m really sorry for being snappish in that other journal at you. Its not much of an excuse but I was having a horrid day and what better way to vent then to snap at someone you don’t even know? So yeah, I agree that you intended to be helpful, so I hope my bitchy comment didn’t offend you too much…I’m just stupid like that.
Naw, takes a lot more than a little snappishness to tick me off. Besides, you don’t know me so I can’t possibly take anything you say personally.
Thanks for the props and the suggestion, by the way. But I’m going to leave it the way it is. I like the way my friend, wolfdom, set it up for me. I couldn’t have done better. Believe me, I tried.
It can’t really have effect, I believe this way. 0 6 6. This cannot really work, I feel so. site 9 link. Quite helpful data, lots of thanks for your article. link 7 1. You rule
