Not exactly about food . . .
. . but up on the clovegarden site.
I have finally gotten my Modern Paganism page wrestled into good enough shape that I can share it, though it will continue to be refined and expanded. A final major effort was inspired partially by the re-appearance of The Church of the Eternal Source, a group I had been loosely associated with (really great parties) in the distant past.
I was trying to recover some materials pertinent to my history of Musica Donavania that had disappeared when the CESIdaho site went off-line. I finally tracked down one Dr. Michael Poe (PHD in Egyptology) who had been involved, and wrote him a letter to which he did not respond - until months later when he sent me an email reporting the re-appearance of CES in the public world.
Apparently it took them 7 years after the death of the last founder to decide how they were going to go forward. I immediately filled out a rather complex membership form (mostly essay questions) and was accepted (I had not been an actual member back in the '70s).
My certificate of membership is now on display in the office. My assistant, T, who maintains she's both a Christian and a Trump supporter, will be horrified.
I have no idea how you can be both - the way I see it is that Trump personifies almost everything Jesus taught against, and supporting Trump disqualifies one from any claim to be a Christian.
Anyway, she will be horrified. Not horrified by my Paganism (which she already knows about, and doesn't want to hear about) but because on the certificate "Church of the Eternal Source" is emblazoned in Papyrus. This is a font the use of which every page layout professional has been indoctrinated into considering far more evil than mere religious heresy - in evil second only to Comic Sans.
Anyway, the certificate is quite nice. Since CES is a "Federation of Neo-Egyptian Reconstruction Temples" I printed it on a very high quality papyrus colored paper, and I think the font looks just fine there.
When they get their stuff together (they're posting 1800 documents regarding Egyptian religion and getting their on-line training stuff together), I will probably take the priesthood training. Fortunately, as with most Pagan groups, being a priest within CES is not considered exclusive of other Pagan practices (or even Christian practices, within reason).
But, anyway, here's my page:
A Pagan Reality - In Our Time.
OK, somebody's going to want to see the Papyrus font, so, here it is:
CES Certification
