a site that i found said they were first started in the 80s, 1987, i think. so that's almost 30 years. well, you learn something new every day, right?

Yups :D. I never heard of them till recent so either way it works for me since I'm still below 30 ( not for long like :D)

ah, cool. i'll be 45 at the end of august this year.

Not long before our celebrating the big 50, you should so have a massive party! I know I might do for mine :3. Going to try and get Beltane off at work so I can go and see my friends in the camp in the north of England this year. I miss them not really seen them in two years as I couldn't get last years camps off at all.

well, i'll be 50 in 2020, that sounds like a party year to me. don't know if i'll be able to afford it though. i just might invite some friends over. =)

Hehe that it dos :) even just having freinds round is a nice thing though. Celebrate how you see fit.

yep, will do. always do. =D

t'sbeen a bad day for Brtsh pagans today. Some creap who used the path as an exuse to do vile things to young people has just been put into prison for 22 years. I'm hoping beyond hope it dosn't mar the rest of us with the same brush. Really shocked at this as the guy in question had such a stench of untrustworthyness about him wth this cong out....yeah not good, not good at all.

yeah, i agree... not good. why do people do things like that?

Frick knows, all I know is its going to take the pagan federation a good year to get us pagans in the good light again. Really anoys me when stuff like this happens.

yeah, i don't blame you. :(

Either for power/control, or because of mental issues. Probably the former.

or possibly both reasons?

Could be, but don't like the implications of the latter - every event over here people want to attach to mental issues.

hmm, there is that.

i don't pretend to understand things that i can't quite wrap my brain around.

I don't understand either - I just try to look up a ton of stuff and make the best guess based on what I read... <.<
