This is NOT\u00a0an HSA blog.<\/p>\n
This is the (occasionally drunken) ranting of a satyr magician. \u00a0This is the place where I tell stories about shennanigans I’ve been up to. \u00a0This is the place where I share the results of my experiments, both magical … and occasionally social.<\/p>\n
Now, with that said, you’re probably going to hearling about the HSA a lot. \u00a0The Heartland Spiritual Alliance takes up more of my time and energy than anything but my novels. \u00a0My work for the HSA overlaps significantly with my spiritual and magical practices. \u00a0And I have … thoughs on Pagan leadership and Pagan culture. \u00a0So my work with the Sacred Experience Committee and Board of Directors is going to come up. \u00a0But from this platform, I am NEVER\u00a0speaking in an official capacity.<\/p>\n
I feel the need to say this, explicitly and in writing, for three\u00a0reasons. \u00a0Firsly, three of my last six posts have been related, at least tangentially, to my work in the HSA. \u00a0Secondly, in speaking privately with other current and former HSA staff members, some have felt that their words are always heard in an official capacity. \u00a0Thirdly and finally, we hope to have an official HSA blog up in the relatively near future, and I want to be 100% clear with the world that this is not it.<\/p>\n
The Journey Through The Obsidian Dream is, always has been, and always will be my personal soapbox and public journal. \u00a0The opinions expressed here are my own, and soley my own, and subject to change as I grow and learn. \u00a0They have, in fact, changed before, and will change again.<\/p>\n
