THISANDTHAT
Cartoons, Art, Book Reviews, etc.
Reviews: Read any good books, lately? Did a new movie enthrall you or enrage you? Maybe an old one? Are you a TV baby? Is music your passion? Is the theatre in your blood? Is your muse a resident of a museum? Here's where you can share your experience with the rest of your Gwyddon family.
Write a review on your art and cultural experiences, either good or bad. Please be insightful and critical, but not negative in nature. We would all benefit by the view through your eyes.
For submission instructions see the bottom of the page - and "break a leg"!

One of the oldest and largest of the Pagan festivals, the International Pagan Spirit Gathering, also known as PSG, will be held June 14 - 21, 1998, at Wisteria campground in southeastern Ohio, near Athens. Participants will gather for the week to celebrate the Summer Solstice and create a multi-tribal village in which they will share rituals, workshops, music, drumming and a Village marketplace.

PSG will include a variety of rituals, from Summer Solstice, Animal Spirits Ritual, Sweatlodge Rituals and Rites of Passage to Women's, Men's, Young Adult and Children's Rituals, as well as more than 50 workshops, training for Pagan Ministers, and presentations by Pagan Scholars.
