It is Halloween Night. The candles in the jack-o-lanterns are lighted. Very soon my "treat" will be a scotch and water.
Appropriate to the season, I have begun to read The Path of the Green Man: Gay Men, Wicca, and Living a Magical Life, by Michael Thomas Ford (Kensington Press, 2005). I'm not very far into it, but it's interesting to read what Ford has to say about what Wicca has to offer gay men as a spiritual path.
