"The Mists of Avalon" was a GREAT book
The TNT movie was appalling tripe that totally turned the POV and point of the book on its head.

4. Yes!
I'm excited, because there's FINALLY a Druid grove near me... I find Starhawk and the Reclaiming/Feri tradition meld very nicely with the Druid path.

NIce to see you on here, Shine.

5. I am in a women's moon circle that I've been a part of for over 12 yrs
with 12 other women. We do ceremony and ritual together, honoring the changing wheel of the seasons, and the goddess, in all Her many aspects. I did a weeklong "witch camp" with Starhawk and her gang out here in CA many years ago. Good stuff.

Nice to run into a kindred spirit. :pals:

6. One of me and my daughter's very favorite books!
I've read it several times, as has she. I didn't watch the TV thing; I thought I would spare myself the disappointment.
