Long Beach, California,” which takes place, June 6.
Hearth Moon Rising's blog: In the first of

Studebaker’s book, Breaking the Mother
Goose Code.
Branches Up, Roots Down: On May 21, in her first post in a long time, “ Unusual Alchemy,” Deborah Oak starts with words from a poem/song and goes on to compare a recent disaster to a near-disaster of decades ago. She then shares her feelings about survival.
My Village Witch: In an April 28 post, “These Are The Times We Are Made For…,” Byron Ballard offers a meditation for times that feel difficult, and suggestions for helpful actions. In a May 25 post, “Where Did May Go?” She reviews the many activities of May that seemed to make it pass quickly.

Works of Literata:
In her May 9 post, “Practicing through depression,” blogger Literata discusses
how difficult it is for her to do her spiritual practice when she is depressed,
writing
“At times like this, it feels like I’m faking my practice, or doing it in an empty fashion. (When I’m depressed, empty is at least better than hurting.) That plus difficulty concentrating makes it pretty hard to do even the simplest devotions or meditations.”
She then asks others have had similar experiences.
Radical Goddess Thealogy: In her May 23 post, “Jehovah In A Skirt?” blogger Athana discusses why she finds a post on the blog Pantheos by Roger Olson confused (confusing?).
