- About Me:
- I am a Sociocultural Anthropologist working on a research project for and about Neo-Pagans and more specifically Neo-Pagan ethics. My study does not concentrate on the particular dogma of a belief system. Instead, my research centers around how a person's religious beliefs effect their actions in the world; How they vote; How they see various issues like environmentalism; How they see the issues surrounding life and death; How we choose our occupations; How we treat each other etc. Over the past 7 years of my study I have collected over 300 interviews with self described Neo-Pagans. Many of these interviews with well known authors, elders and "celebrities" within the movement. I have also collected over 100 hours of rituals, classes and other participant observations at Pagan festivals all over the United States. I have had respondents from over 40 different sects of Paganism so far although the majority are from the top three most prevalent at festivals (i.e. Wicca, Druidry and Heathenry). At this point, to the best of my knowledge I believe I have a larger and more comprehensive data set than any other Pagan researcher in the US today. My plan is to continue the study for three more years so that I can compare the data longitudinally to other data collected by Anthropologists and Sociologists in the 1980's when the last great wave of information hit the mainstream. I believe it is important to study this and to record it in order to afford us as a culture and a movement the opportunity to see how and why our ethical similarities developed and how they effect American popular culture and society at large. Please feel free to check out some of my videos. I will be adding more daily as time allows.

Wisdom of the Elders- Reduce Reuse and Recycle
In this PSA for my pet project, I encourage you to plant a tree on Mother's Day in honor of our mother Gaia. Please pass it on!
In this excerpt from an interview I did with Elspeth of Haven, she discusses her spiritual connection to the environment as it is expressed through acts of reducing consumption, reusing and recycling. This was filmed as part of my ongoing Anthropological study on Neo-Pagan ethics. Please join Grandmother Elspeth's yahoo group think tank if you have any ideas or expertise that can help her get her messages out to a larger audience. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elspeths_Roadies
