We are working on a podcast based on this blog, now. This is following on a good run on our other project (Multiplicity 101 podcasts, for Plural Activism), so we have high hopes. In the meantime, know that it's coming! And hopefully, a revitalisation of this blog.
Some curating needed
Mar. 15th, 2015 02:24 pmI've learned a lot in the past few years, and my opinions have changed about a number of things. I need to make a serious curation pass in this blog and try to clean up and improve some of the posts. So if you find something that looks wrong/broken/offensive, please tell me. I am not mean. :) And I want to learn from everyone.
Submissions welcome!
Dec. 18th, 2013 08:31 pmWe haven't had a lot to say lately, but everyone else is quite welcome to submit posts. There's a moderation queue for now, but I'll approve things fairly quickly. So don't be shy! And if there's something you don't want to post as yourself, just PM it to me and I'll post it anonymously for you.
We're still here
Sep. 21st, 2013 01:09 amSorry for the lack of posts lately. Life has been strenuous and busy for us lately. We'll get started again soon! Hang tight.
Group settings updated
Aug. 10th, 2013 12:19 pmJust an FYI, I've set the group to allow comments from all registered DW users for now. We're getting more subscribers than members, so this should help everyone be able to comment. :) Also I've set the syndication level to full text, so if you want to read by RSS reader, that should work properly now.
Also clarifying the group statement: You do not have to identify as such if you are interested or want to discuss the topic on here; all constructive conversation is welcome.

Welcome / Rules
Aug. 5th, 2013 09:52 pmHello, and welcome to the group! This is a place, as the title implies, to discuss magic, spirituality, religion, etc, in the context of not being alone inside. Sort of a "plural perspectives on spirituality" type of thing. This could be in regards to plural systems, familiar spirits, shamanic or spirit guides who hang out near the surface, membership in a cooperative collective consciousness, or anything similar. You do not have to identify as such if you are interested or want to discuss the topic on here; all constructive conversation is welcome.
There are very few rules for the group:
- Post submissions are moderated; if you consistently post good stuff, we may go ahead and let you post without moderation. If it's obvious you were trying, and we can't accept the submission, we'll let you know why. Posts are good! We like posts! We just want them to be good posts.
- Please try to stay on topic with posts. (e.g. "we had this great kind of gestalten experience the other day" is okay, but "did you see what Famous Actor did?!" is not. "We went to a carnival the other day and..." is arguably off topic too, but may be tolerated for the sake of providing some positive discussion of what it's like outside of spiritual topics. :) For long posts, please use cuts.
- Likewise with comments on posts, try to stay on topic.
- Do not pass judgement on people's "plural" form or spirituality, whether it's a "real" phenomenon or not, whether it's "advisable", or so on. That's different from real, constructive knowledge seeking, and I'm sure you know the difference. Don't judge in general! This is intended to be a safe place, as much as possible in a public forum. Any persistent harassment or badgering will likely result in being dropped.

Also, not to scare anyone away, but I do recommend exercising caution in revealing your identity in comments. The internets are forever.
That said, please enjoy!
