The assumption that every prison convert/practitioner is a skin head is not. I should probably add a comment that I think it’s great that we have an active prison ministry.

I conducted his first blot for him in the back yard of his previous residence and have shared a few joyful horns of mead with him since then. He just moved to the Oregon coast in October, and had told me he wanted to really become a part of the community there. Interesting how such words can take a somewhat ironic turn for an Odhinsman sometimes, but he has indeed shown himself of great value to both the local community and the heathen community at large by virtue of his down-to-earth responses to the media's inquiries.

We need people to see that there are good stories too. Thank you for making this available.

I only said something to that effect because the reporter had never heard of Asatru, he assumed I'm Wiccan, and "dancing naked in the woods" is my usual reference to those of the Wiccan persuasion. I sure didn't expect to see it in print. Thanks for all the good words, folks. Oh, all right, you can dance naked in the woods if you really want to…
