Isaac Bonewits
Isaac Bonewits is one of North America's leading experts on Druidism, Witchcraft and the rapidly growing Earth Religions movement. A practicing NeoPagan priest, scholar, teacher, bard and polytheologian for over thirty years, he has coined much of the vocabulary and articulated many of the issues that have shaped the NeoPagan community in the United States and Canada. He holds the only accredited degree ever given in Magic (U.C. Berkeley), and is a founder and Archdruid Emeritus of Ar nDraiocht Fein: A Druid Fellowship (ADF). He is the author of the classic Real Magic, Authentic Thaumaturgy, Witchcraft: A Concise Guide, and of the recently released book Rites of Worship: A Neopagan Approach. Currently, he is the Senior Executive Editor of Earth Religions Press.
Being a Pagan Man
Based on his forthcoming book, The Pagan Man: Priests, Warriors, Hunters and Drummers, this workshop will cover some of the issues and concerns raised by the Pagan men and boys Isaac interviewed in 2004 and their responses to the questionnaire he distributed last Starwood. Those men and boys who are new to Paganism will find this especially enlightening, as will the women and girls who love them.
Stalking the Wild Druid - A Field Guide to the Species
Ár nDraíocht Féin, Keltria, the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, the Celtic Traditionalist Order of Druids, the Order of the White Oak, IMBAS, Aisling, and other Druidical and Celtic Reconstructionist organizations are flourishing now, alongside an ever increasing number of "solitary" Druids, "hereditary" Druids, and outright frauds. Who's who and what's what? In this presentation, Isaac will discuss the wide variety of modern Druids and fellow travelers, with something to amuse (or offend) nearly everyone!
