Hi! Folks! I'm new here. I have gotten some bad news from my money
manager. He just called me about 20 mins ago. He's afraid that I will
be running out of money very soon. If any one wants to help you can
send donations to my Pay Pal account using my G mail address. That
address is AbbottsInn@Gmail.com I will give one of my infamous
Divination-Tarot readings on the phone in person or on Skype. I've been
doing Divination -Tarot readings for 48 years and teaching
Pagan-Magickal subjects for 38 years. At present I don't have any
students and this has got my money manager concerned. This is my 27th
blog on the internet. I hope this blog will be of use to you all. I
would like to hear from you all about the subjects you would like to
see covered here. I can be reached at www.keen.com as Stephen6580 I
have 5 listings on keen and a blog. There are many Pagan-Magickal folk
on keen. I do Psychic Readings on www.CelebertyPsychic.com At present
time I work 24hrs a day and I sleep between calls. With my 3 main
co-owners I have over 25 Pagan-Magickal Teaching Groups on 13 networks.
The problem I'm having right now is that I have a shitty computer which
I never know when it will stop working. It eats post and crashes on a
regular basis. This makes my job so much harder. I would like to turn
you on to some killer sites and networks. The first site I would like
to turn you onto is www.Mind-N-Magick.com this is a great
Pagan-Magickal site. They offer a free Pagan-Magickal tool-bar which
you can download. Download it and let me know what you think of it.
I've been involved in this site for many years now. They have a
fantastic Pagan-Magickal store. The next site is a Pagan-Magickal
Network it is www.PaganSpace.net I am in many groups here and I have a
blog here. This is a really great Pagan-Magickal Network. Tegwedd
Shadow dancer my "Partner in Crime" and I have 2 of our newer
Pagan-Teaching Groups here. They are "Grove of Ogham" and "Divination
Corner". We have many clones of these groups on many Pagan-Magickal
Networks. Here are their links:
http://www.PaganSpace.net/group/GroveofOgham and
http://www.Pagan-Space.net/group/DivinationCorner These are very fun
groups where you can learn and share knowledge and Wisdom . There is
another Network which has a similar name it is www.PaganSpace.com Here
I'm in many groups but they don't offer a blog here. The next Network
is based in the UK it is http://CeridwensCauldron.ning.com This is a
wonderful network. I'm in many groups here and I have a blog. Tegwedd
and I have one of our Divination Corner clones here. There is another
which is called Coven space.com . Here is it's link:
http://www.CovenSpace.com Here I'm in many groups and I have a blog the

blog. You can find many Pagan groups on MySpace.com where I have
another blog, Hi5 where I have another blog, Google Groups,where I have

a blog and Yahoo360 where I have a blog. Finally Face book where I'm in
many groups and where they don't offer a blog. There is Stumble Upon
where I have a blog. IMVU has many Pagan-Magickal groups and I have a
blog there. I'm still doing Divination-Tarot readings and teach classes
on Pagan-Magickal subjects with the use of my web cam and mic. The
rates are reasonable for this service. You can find me many times on
Yahoo Answers. Where many Pagan-Magickal folk answer questions here.
Just looking at all of the groups that I'm involved in it makes me feel
that we as Pagan-Magickal folk have a strong foot hold here on the
Internet. If any of you would like to see some of my written work you
can do so by going to Google and Goggling my name: AD(arch-druid)
Stephen W. Abbott look for the reference for "The Druid's Egg", for
Lughnasadh 2005. If this works you will find 2 of my Bardic
Prose-Poems. The first one is entitled: "In search of the Lady's
Mystery". This prose-poem is dedicated to the Goddess
Rhiannon" Lady of the Wind's True Song"(my title). The next prose-poem
my old Pagan-Magickal bud Isaac Bonewits feels is one of my best in
over a year. It is entitled: "Why We Are Druids". Check them out and
let me know what you think. Since this is a blog which explains more of
who I am here are some more particulars about myself. My Path is
Druid-Wiccan-Shaman. I've been a AD(arch-druid) since 1971 when I
founded The Hazelnut Mother Grove in Berkeley Ca. The Hazelnut Mother
Grove is now a Yahoo Group and a cyber Grove Here is the link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hazelnut_MotherGrove This group is under
restriction. Just contact me at the following e-mail address and I'll
invite you: Abbotts_inn@hotmail.com I founded The Abbott's Inn School
of Magick in 1970 in Berkeley Ca. It got it's name because when I
taught a class or someone else did and the students stayed on and
partied and stayed all night. It became like an Inn so the name stuck.
The Abbott's Inn School of Magick is now a yahoo group, here is it's
link: http://groups/yahoo.com/group/TheAbbottsInnSchoolofMagick Then in
1973 I co-founded yet another group. I co-founded with Clayton
O'Clearch "The Great Wild Beast Furtherment Society or the GWB as it
also known. This group was all about our hero AC-Uncle Al(Aleister
Crowley) and his Magick. This group is now a yahoo group here is it's
link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheGreatWildBeastFurthermentSociety
The last main group was founded 4 years ago by me and Tegwedd: It is
entitled: The DruidWicca_Coven. This group was inspired by the
enchanting Tarot deck "Druid Craft Tarot by Philip and Stephanie
Carr-Gomm. Here is it's link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DruidWicca_Coven For 13 years I was the
co-producer of The New Age Renaissance Fair at the San Jose Convention
Center.Eric Mease was the producer. We had many exhibitors in our show.
Every year I would pack the event with Pagan-Magickal folk. In the late
70's and early 80's, I wrote for Gnostica News which later became known
as simply "Gnostica". I got the job when my old Pagan_Magical friend
and fellow AD(arch-druid) Issac Bonewits became editor-in-chief of the
magazine. I wrote many articles for Gnostica and wrote a regular column
entitled: "Tarot Questions & Answers." For many years I spoke at
many Gaming conventions. Dungeon Con and Grim Con, Game Caucus and
Pacific Con to name but a few . I ran For many years I worked at Games
of Berkeley when it first started. I was in charge of the Science
Fiction and Fantasy gaming section . This included a miniature section.
I ran games and performed Divination-Tarot readings at the gaming
conventions. For over 1 years, I was an exhibitor, Divination-Tarot
reader and lecturer at the Ancient Ways Pagan festival at Harbin Hot
Springs, near Middleton, Ca. I co-produced the Witches' Ball at the
Finnish Hall in Berkeley, CA, with Star hawk of Reclaiming fame and the
late great Gwydion Pendderwen. The next year of 81 he and I produced
the Mid-Summer Festival, in Big Trees Meadow in the Oakland CA hills.
In 82 or 83 I worked with Ann For freedom on the Goddess Rising
Conference. I worked on the staff, performed my Celtic slide show, and
performed Divination-Tarot readings. In 84 I met character actor James
Hong, and performed as a Diviner at many of his celebrity parties. For
8 years , I was on the Time-Con staff in San Jose. Time was a Dr
Who-Stat Track convention. I lectured, ran games, and performed
Divination-Tarot readings. I did many spots on radio and TV. When in
San Francisco, I was on with Ross Mc Gowan's "People Are Talking" show.
Ross McGowan gave me the title:"The Wizard and his Lizard. " Later as
the iguana got more popular, we were called :"the Lizard and his
Wizard." I've had many iguanas and other lizards over the past 30
years. I would teach them how to lick noses. This past Sunday I gave a
Ogham-Ogam workshop over the phone for Druids in Oregon. This event was
organized by Ageann my co-owner of "Druid chat". It went off so good
that we might make it a series. I will post on many of our groups as a
follow up. I will close on a somber note. This past Saturday I found
out that an old friend of mine Zardoz by name whose real name I did not
know for over 32 years. His real name or legal name is Chris Dietler.
He is a long time and well known Thelamite. He is dieing and has by one
reckoning 3 to 6 months to live. I ask you if you know any other
Thelamites tell them of Zardoz fate and give them my e-mail address.
This news shook me to my core. You see I had just reconnected with him
after many years. If you know of any natural healers such as a Native
American Shaman or a doctor of Chinese Medicine we are still open to
alternatives. Just give them my hot mail address:
Abbotts_inn@hotmail.com Well this ends my first blog for this network.
If I have left anything out please contact me and ask your questions. I
am happy to be here and I hope I can be of use to this network. Till
our next encounter, Take Care and Blessed Be. AD(arch-druid) Stephen
