Making Connections at PantheaCon 2009
There’s not much point in adding to the voluminous praises heaped upon San Jose’s PantheaCon. I will say, however, that it brings together a huge number of authors, presenters and pagans from all over the US and is a showcase of the diversity inherent within our community. There is so much to see and do, that it is impossible to avoid the disappointment of missing events due having to make too many choices. It would be very difficult to not have your own personal path enriched through contact with representatives of paths very different to your own.
In the years that I have been going to PantheaCon I’ve met some absolutely wonderful people who I feel very close to. They know who they are, and probably don’t need to see their names in print.
There is far more diversity in the pagan community in the US than in the Australian community from which I have come. Reconstructionists are as rare as hen’s teeth in Australia, (more…)
