LAUNCH: Yule 2010
So much has changed in my life since I originally conceived of HUGINN in 2008. My perspective and practice has changed dramatically, partly due to a move halfway around the world. HUGINN was packed away with most of my possessions, but wyrd is inevitable and so many people have already contributed to HUGINN; it's still absolutely necessary. With ( Read more... ) -
