Copper's Klatsch and Catch-All

Blog Love

5th-Sep-2008 11:08 am

Before the Republican melee tainted the zeitgeist and fouled my mood, I was delighted that dmiley gave I AM THAT the "I Love Your Blog" folk award (and that vogelbeere gave it (on Metapagan) to my other blog, Manifold Oneness).

Selecting favorites is hard for me... or at least, commiting to a limited number of them in writing is hard! But fun. I'm surprised how difficult it was to narrow them to seven, but knew it was impossible to list them all. So I paid extra attention to what I was reading and inspired by over the last couple weeks or so. It may take me a while to do this properly and message everyone.

So here are the rules.

1. Put the logo on your blog.

2. Link to the person from whom you received the award.

3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs. (see below)

4. Put links to those blogs on yours.

5. Leave a message on the blogs nominated.

In no particular order, here are seven blogs I've read a lot of, that present lots of material, and that I usually enjoy (but am sometimes challenged by):

1. Owl’s Wings http://owlsdaughter.blogspot.com/

Features “Tarot of the Week” by a talented reader, occasional posts (as for Sabbats), and delightful series (check out the recent series about the Muses, for example).

2. Self-Sufficient Urbanite http://selfsufficienturbanite.blogspot.com/

Inspiring New Yorker tackles the chores of life with relish and innovation.

3. Hare Krishna Women http://harekrishnawomen.wordpress.com/

With ISKCON as an early part of my spiritual experience and a major source of my hostility to authoritarianism, I am impressed by the group of women who blog here. Many have sophisticated understandings of the relationships between rhetoric and power, and use those understandings to argue for anti-authoritarian reforms and/or devotional autonomy.

4. Below the Belt http://feed.belowthebelt.org/

Multi-contributor blog on gender; tends to embrace post-modernist concepts. A lot of variety and some surprising perspectives. Helps me keep up with current ideas and attitudes in gender studies and in the Queer Proletariat.

5. The College of Mythic Cartography http://www.mythic-cartography.org/

This is an original site full of rich variety and lots of surprises, one that often approaches Paganism from the meta-levels of myth and symbol.

6. Same as a Wildcat http://elorie.livejournal.com/

Intelligent southern literary Witch with an independent spirit who finds good stuff and has good ideas. Also that thing I like, variety. Both ballsy and pragmatic.

7. Medusa Coils http://medusacoils.blogspot.com/

Several contributors. Intelligent variety. Superlative link lists every week or so.

Callwords:community, correspondences, kudos, writing

I'll have to try some of those - I'm familiar with some of them, but not all.

I see from your link list that you like Seven Sermons to the Dead - another thing we have in common!
