So tomorrow I shall be rising early and with a short stop enroute to help a friend out transporting stock for their stall I shall be pootling off to PaganCon in Preston.

It’s not a big convention and in truth, I had last year decided that I would not be going again as they have stopped weekend camping and I nearly always end up being the designated driver, which in and of itself is fine until you have to try and load enebriated passengers into the car when your tired, knackered and hoping that there is half a chance you will get home before the offie shuts so you can buy a nice bottle of wine.

The biggest reason for going is twofold,  several friends this year are either doing talks or running workshops and I figure you should support your friends in their endeavours and also because Maxine Sanders is speaking.

Now I am not a Wiccan, nor ever likely to be, but I do think it is important to go and listen to somebody who is effectively first generation of the modern witchcraft movement. It was the same reason I spent a weekend doing a Marian Green course. These guys are our elders and for most of us, there doing it with the coffee mug and the t-shirt whilst we were still charging around in the playground at school.

I shall report back after the event I am sure.
