San Diego Pagan Pride Day
Jo-Ann and I attended the seventh annual San Diego Pagan Pride Day (PPD) on Saturday 12 September 2009.
The event was organized by Valera, Cari, Hope, Alan & Karen who again managed to please the local pagan community, and help out a couple of local charities in the process. It was great to see former organizer, Tamara, returning to the fold, as it were, as a volunteer helper.
It was a glorious sunny day, but a tad cooler than for the previous couple of PPDs. Quite a few people made the most of it, spending the entire day there, enjoying the music, workshops and stalls.
Jo-Ann and I had the privilege of spending much of the day at the authors’ table with Donald Michael Kraig and his partner, Holli. After a really long break, Don finally has a new book out. It’s an exciting esoteric novel called The Resurrection Murders – a story that could only be told by someone with Don’s background in the occult.
There was a broad range of workshops to choose from, spanning a number of diverse traditions. I presented my workshop, “The Practice of Ancient Greek Religion Today,” for the first time.
As usual, I made myself available to talk about Cherry Hill Seminary.
