My community has a sickness.

June 2, 2008 – 3:33 pm
As a comment in this blog, a guest by the name of Sigrun Grimnirsdottir said: "Stop looking for boogeymen in other religions, and take care of the pedophile priests and money-launderers in your own midst first." http://ajdrew.blogs.pagannation.com/2008/03/18/hellstorm-coven-convicted-of-murder/ If the article had been written by Catholics who had ignored the scandal in their own church, I might not think it out of place. However, this was an article written by a member of the pagan community and responded to by members of the pagan community concerning issues within the pagan community. I believe the comments by Sigrum Grimnirdotir accurately reflect the problem. Instead of recognizing that the conversation is pagan folk talking about problems within the pagan community, he assumes that it was Christian folk addressing a problem within the pagan community. Why? Because for the most part, pagans are simply unwilling to recognize that we have a problem. Instead, they spend their time pointing fingers ...

Raven Grimassi & Christopher Penczack befriend the Frosts

May 16, 2008 – 9:46 am
A friend of a friend promotes Child Molestation Someone at Pagan Nation wrote me to share a story about an experience with Frost supporters. She reports that someone from Arkansas asked her to be a friend over at Myspace.com. She checked the young gentleman’s profile out to discover one of his friends was an Arkansas based group called Children of the Night. On their list of favorite authors were, Gavin and Yvonne Frost. If you are not yet aware, the reason so many now object to Gavin and Yvonne Frost can be found in their book, A Good Witches Bible detailed here: She immediately wrote the young gentlemen informing him about what the Frosts have written and asked him if he supported such. He had absolutely no idea and does not support such. He does now and from what I understand he will be doing something with that information. A few of you will ...

Back to the Hospital for me.

May 14, 2008 – 1:20 pm
I am on my way to the hospital again, ordered more by the Harpies than the doctors. Yes, the doctors told the Harpies (wife and mother) to get me to the ER, but I listen to the Harpies more than the doctors so I am going to blame it on them. The thing is, it is my little girl’s 4th birthday. So what’s wrong? Same old same; pancreas and liver are failing. At least that is what the doctors think. The tests at the hospital will tell for sure. Basically, I have the same symptoms I had the last time I was admitted and one of the drugs I am on causes it to happen. Last time I was panicked but this time, well it seems like nothing but a thing. Hi, I am here for my morphine and bed rest. But it is frustrating. It seems like when ever I am ...

Knives that I like

May 9, 2008 – 9:27 am
I have been very sick for many months. Details do not matter much. What is important, well to me and mine anyway, is that I am recovering. I am now on insulin (great help) and I am one operation away from being able to use my upper body properly again. Over the months that I have been out of it, I have managed to get some work done. But mostly, I have looked at what other people are doing. I thought I would share with people who follow my blog some of the knives I have found that I think sum up the type of things I like to do. Knives that I like: Photos L & M – Both listed simply as "One Piece Knife" http://www.swampfoxknives.com/page_4.html Similar to the above, but the sheath is very unique. Love it. http://www.rnrknives.com/cs_116.htm A Folder – I do not usually like folders. They look too machine made. I like ...

Mary Vincent

If you believe the man who did this should have been killed for this crime, I would like to hear from you.  On a side note, he is dead but by cancer not by execution.  He was released 8 years after being convicted of this and went on to kill.  He was sentenced to death for that crime, but not the first assault / rape and mutilation.  My email is ajdrew (at) PaganNation.com

Lets kill this guy.

April 30, 2008 – 9:24 am
I want the man identified in this news article to be put to death. In fact, I want to be the person to cut his throat and not with a sharp knife. Not joking. I want to feel his life run from his body and to look into his eyes as the life runs away and tell him that humanity will no longer accept his brand of evil.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352805,00.html After raping her for some 7 years, his daughter was about to turn 18 and he knew he would loose her when she moved out. So what did he do? He locked her away in an underground cell until she was 42 years old. There, she gave birth to several of his children. The eldest escaped at age 19, after spending an entire life underground, never seeing sun light.http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/28/europe/EU-GEN-Austria-Captive-Daughter.php http://mdn.mainichi.jp/international/news/20080429p2g00m0in009000c.htmlhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080428/ap_on_re_eu/austria_captive_daughter http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080428/ap_on_re_eu/austria_captive_daughterThe daughter of this monster is my age.

The Hundred Dollar Knife

April 25, 2008 – 11:40 am
The Hundred Dollar Knife I am packed and ready for the Viking Festival. Some of the proudest pieces I have this year are 6 little pattern welded bodice / sock knives. Pattern welded steel is what most people are referring to when they use the word Damascus. After a quick acid etch, a pattern is visible in the steel formed by the way the acid acted differently against the different metals fused by forging, folding, and twisting. These little knives have over 100 layers made up of 1050 medium carbon steel, 5160 high carbon spring steel, and a nickel alloy. To folk who know what pattern welded steel is, they are beautiful. To folk who do not, well they are kind of pretty but not very shinny. The lowest I can imagine going on them is $95.00 a piece. They are just twisties. The full tang is exposed, no wrap, just some ...

I am such a Bastard

April 22, 2008 – 10:40 am
If I told you I was a bastard, you would probably disagree. If you knew me better, you would probably agree and maybe even add the word jackass before the word bastard. But I am not talking about my personality here. Instead I am speaking to the marital state of my genetic mother and father at the time of my birth. By definition, I am a bastard and rather proud of it. I adore my parents, the people who adopted and raised me. They are my true mother and father. I don’t much care about the woman who gave birth to me or her sperm donor. So much so that when my genetic sister found me, I was a bit curious about medical concerns but beyond that I found them both far outside of anyone I would like to keep company with. Nothing against them, just not my sort of people. The ...

Random happenstance, coincidence, or something else?

April 21, 2008 – 11:25 pm
Somewhere I once heard that imitation is the purist form of flattery. Below is the cover of my book, A Wiccan Bible. I had wanted the title to be: A Wiccan’s Bible but learned along the way that authors do not get what they want from their publishers unless they make absolute tons of money for the publisher. The book was first published August 2003. In December of 2003 Gavin and Yvonne Frost released A Witches Guide to Psychic Healing with a curiously similar cover. Then, a just slightly a year after the publication of my book, A Wiccan Bible the Frosts released The Solitary Wiccan’s Bible in November of 2004 with what seems to be another very similar cover.       The photos of the Frosts books are not the best. If you held the product in your hand, you would see striking similarities in the texture of the background. I asked ...

Tina Wilson - Central Ohio missing Witch

April 19, 2008 – 8:46 am
"A missing woman, who is a practicing witch, vanished three years ago, and investigators remain baffled in the case. " http://www.nbc4i.com/midwest/cmh/news.apx.-content-articles-CMH-2008-04-18-0003.html I am not baffled at all. Neither is my wife Aimee. In fact, we are fairly sure we know who killed her, how he killed her, and where her body is buried. Well, we did know a few years ago when a woman who looked exactly like Tina Wilson shopped frequently at our Columbus, OH store with her boyfriend. The person we are thinking about wouldn’t talk much. She would stand behind her boyfriend, nod and occasionally cackle in agreement when he blurted out some of the most insane things. At first, we thought both were just more harmless wingnuts that plague the Wiccan community with their role playing games. At one point, he had wanted me to forge an ancient knife for him. It had to be ancient because he was going ...
