Buzz Coil: June

The Corvid Diaries: In her June 21 post, "Wicca and Women" blogger Debi Crow explains why she doesn’t use the term "pagan" to describe herself (Debi: maybe you want to try Goddessian ?) and why she doesn’t acknowledge any "god" (male deity), and hates the phrase ,"Lord and Lady." This post also has excerpts from an article by Cheryl Straffon.

Radical Goddess Thealogy: Blogger Athana tells us what she thinks "men" really want in her June 23 post, "Eating & Stealing in the Post-Goddess World."
