Recently, I asked existing members of the JudeoPagan Basics mailing list on Yahoo groups if they were comfortable with a move over to blog format, and I received a number of positive responses. So that takes care of the challenge right there -- nothing like blog/list consolidation. :)
So, welcome to the new home of JudeoPagan Basics, an online learning blog for those who are interested in Earth-based Judaism. This is by no means the only group of its kind. Jewitchery has been around for many years, and is a good-sized group, so if this is the first site you've found on the topic, please consider visiting Jewitchery.com and/or signing up to their mailing list at Yahoo Groups as well.
Over the upcoming while, existing postings on specific topics will be posted to this blog. You're invited to comment on them and hold discussions in the comment sections. This is less linear than a mailing list, as you can feel free to comment on more than one posting at a time. If you were originally on my friends list when this was a personal blog, and would like to read the new postings, please go ahead and friend me again, and I'll do the same. If you're a member of the existing JudeoPagan Basics Yahoo group, and want to participate, please sign up to Livejournal, and make a friends request, and I'll add you to the list.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!
My copy recently arrived. I hope to review it here when and if I have some time. I'm very excited about this book, by talented author Jennifer Hunter. There have been other excellent books on Pagan aspects of Judaism, magic in Jewish tradition, and the like, but to my knowledge, this is the first book to examine the phenomenon of Jewish Paganism, including interviews with a number of Jewish Pagans spanning the spectrum of belief and practice.
Here is the Amazon.com URL for those who are interested in the book.
Mazal tov, Jen!
