Links

Various links that I find interesting. Blogs you can see over on the right, but there are some really excellent links that are not blogs out there as well. Not presently sorted.

• Wild Speak -- An exceptional site on many topics related to shamanism by Ravenari.
  
• Feather and Flame -- A Kemetic friend's site with excellent essays.
  
• Northern-Tradition Shamanism -- Raven Kaldera's site.
  
• Daven's Journal -- A highly informative site about a wide variety of occultism-related topics. The High Magic and Out of Body classes are both amazing to work through.
  
• Pagan Prayer Beads -- A site for purchasing pagan prayer beads, covering myriad different purposes and traditions.
  
• Lioness Woman -- Another friend of mine's site on animal spirituality.
  

Livejournal

For users of Livejournal there is a LJ-specific syndicated feed so articles can show up on your friend's page.

Miscellaneous

• Map of the Fallen -- A map for Google Earth that indicates the deaths of coalition forces--names, faces, and causes of death--in Iraq and Afghanistan. I mentioned it on my blog Memorial Day 2009.
  
• Don't Talk to the Cops, Part 1 -- A law professor and former criminal defense attorney talks about why you should never talk to the police without a lawyer present. You can see more on this topic, along with several other videos, in my Public Service Announcement on 15 May 2009.
