Pantheacon ... Down Under?

[changeling]

As I was reading alfrecht's summation of PantheaCon, I couldn't help but feel that Australia should have one.

Seriously. We have the Australian Wiccan Conference, but loads of the people who attend that aren't Wiccan. We might not have heaps of the Big Name Pagan Authors (like America does), but surely there are quite a few people who could give workshops. Maybe we could bring a couple of BN Americans over.

I know we have Kemetic Orthodoxists (what is the correct term there??). There's at least a couple of other Australians on the Neos Alexandria list. There are bunches and bunches of people on Witches of Melbourne who aren't Wiccan – and no-one said that Wiccans couldn't come anyway. There are thousands of people who attend the (hem, hem) Mind Body Spirit festival. Hell, you might be able to get *some* morris dancers to open the event (i.e., not the ones in our side who are strict Christians). Maybe you could manage to get Wendy (when she's not off gallivanting across America or Europe).

It'd be awesome. Unfortunately, since I am more-or-less completely disconnected from the local Pagan scene, and have no brain space to devote so such a thing, it's not going to happen. Be awesome if it did, though. It would be so nice to connect to some locals for a change.

Heee. Six degrees of livejournal - I see his name a LOT in the journal of someone else I have friended. The association is strong enough that I had a mild moment of disorientation and wondered why that other person had your icon and was talking about Australia.

*nods* I've had that before. :D

I can get easily confused on LJ. Example: I have two friends, one apiphile, the other, aphephobia. Very confusing. It's worse when people have similar icons. There's a reason why I don't let anyone filch my icon, but rather will remake something similar specifically for them.

HI! Sorry to step out of the past without invitation (is there a pre-posting version of the polite cough?), but I've recently inherited a book of Steph's - Women Who Run With the Wolves.

I'm happy to post it back, or catch up for a cuppa, or drop it somewhere central. I'm off to ConFest tomorrow, so any action will be after Easter. My contactables are on my LJ profile.

Love!

Er, posting would probably be easiest, considering our mad schedule for the last few months. But we can catchup for a coffee after Easter if you like. :)

Thanks.

...and he arrives back in town after ConFest.

I'm really looking forward to that coffee, when time permits! How's your dancecard looking?
