Excuse the Dust and Clutter...

   ...this website is  still under construction. That said, welcome  to all my
   readers!  Over the  next  month or  so,  I expect  to  finish building  and
   fine-tuning the site, with regular  blog posts currently scheduled to start
   appearing right  around the summer solstice.  The menu links at  the top of
   the page  are already live, and  mostly stocked - I  have a few more  of my
   nonfiction books to add to one page, and of course the next writing contest
   (yes, there will be a next writing contest) hasn't yet been announced. Stay
   tuned for more details.

   As noted  in the posts  I've made on  my old blogs,  the focus of  this new
   venture is going to be a little different. I've said pretty much everything
   I have  to say about the  decline and fall of  industrial civilization, the
   theme of  The Archdruid Report, and  as that process picks  up speed around
   us, saying much more  about it is kind of redundant anyway.  I do have more
   to say  about the magical  traditions central to  The Well of  Galabes, and
   some  of that  will be  said  here. What  I plan  on discussing  primarily,
   though, is the need to begin crafting a living spirituality of nature - not
   an abstract  worldview, but a  way of  life with practical,  spiritual, and
   esoteric dimensions  - founded  on a  recognition of  our belonging  to the
   biotic community of the Earth. We'll  be talking about that in various ways
   and from assorted angles as this project takes off.

   For the time being,  I expect to do at least one post  a month here, though
   we'll see what happens when a range  of other changes in my life settle out
   and I can buckle down to serious  work. I've also established a presence on
   the  social  media  site  Dreamwidth  -  ecosophia.dreamwidth.org  -  which
   will  carry shorter  pieces  such  as book  reviews,  announcements of  new
   publications, catcalls  in the  direction of absurd  news stories,  and the
   like. Those should start appearing during the next month or so.

   Thank you  again for reading this,  and I hope  you'll join me on  this new
   adventure!
