Dogwood Local Council Members Interviewed on Local TV

In late September, two Dogwood Local Council members were interviewed for a local interfaith broadcasting station.   The current first officer, Hawk, and Grove of Phoenix Rising initiate, Cliodhna, sat down with local broadcaster, Audrey Galex, for a personal look at Wicca and Paganism today. 

Audrey's program, AIB Metro, is a 30 minute news program that highlights a variety of local Atlanta happenings.   The show airs on AIB TV which can be seen both on local cable stations and over the internet. 

To view the program:

 

AIB TV is broadcast over the internet via live-streaming on http://www.aibtv.com/.  Click on WATCH NOW (from the top menu) and, then, selecting AIBTV.NET from the drop down menu.   Or go directly to http://www.aibtv.net/

 

For all local viewers, you can also see the program on the following stations:

Kudos to Georgia Pagans

Witch and author, Melanie Marquis, wrote a wonderful blog post about her time in Georgia during Pagan Pride weekend.  During which, she visted Atlanta Pagan Pride and noted the dynamic spirit and community that has grown in Atlanta and the state of Georgia overall. 

Buried in the long list of positive comments, she did note that the Dogwood Local Council's "Blessed Be" bumpers stickers were one of her favorites.  

Here's the entire article:  Blessed Be Y'all Atlanta Pagan Pride

 Atlanta and Augusta Pagan Pride Recap: 

• Augusta: Hawk and Eibhlean were the DLC team in Augusta. The festival atmosphere included music, crafts and lots of joy. Young witchlings ran around joyously as people arrived in the morning and stayed to play all day. Noteworthy events included: Spiral Rhythm, A Persephone Mystery Play and Fire Spinners. 
• Atlanta: In Atlanta, the DLC table was maintained by a group of people, organized by Lady Arsinoe and Lady Miraselena. It was held partially inside and partially outside. People came and went all day to shop, listen to music and enjoy the community. Noteworthy events included performances by Emerald Rose and Celia, (Note: Celia's link is a sample of her singing one of her most popular songs.  One that causes many people to cry. This video was not filmed at APPD.) Here is a recap blog post by Lady Charissa of North Georgia Solitaries.

 Blog Postings and Other Notes: 

• Musings from :"Hawk Eyes."  Our First Officer - Hawk.  
• Lady Emrys will be attending a special Cognitive-Behavior Therapy Training for Cancer Clinicians. She was 1 of 40 peple chosen across the nation to attend this workshop in New York City. It is being conducted by leaders in the field and will provide clinicians with skills to help cancer patients and survivors combat the psychological impact cancer diagnoses can bring, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and fear of recurrence.
• On a personal note, I want to thank everyone that brought table supplies and decor, setup and "personed" the table at Atlanta Pagan Pride. I was very thrilled to see the DLC support from members outside of the dutiful officers. I originally was going to name everybody but, due to the sheer number of people, I won't do that for fear of leaving someone out. Those of you who did make a contribution of stuff or time were greatly appreciated. Your energy was very welcome and Dogwood Local Council is a better organization because of you. Thank You and Blessings!

 

Samhain Blessings to all! May you end the year with a bang and bag of candy!
