Healing for Isaac


As has been widely reported on the net and in ADF's in-house lists, Isaac Bonewits, elder of North American neopaganism, author, lecturer and Founder of Ar nDraiocht Fein, as well as a good friend and colleague of mine, to my pride, is having difficulty responding to treatment for his rare nether-cancer. See a good report here.
In response, many of his friends and well-wishers are taking up a campaign of magical work in support of his health and recovery. Along with more focused efforts I give a simple photoshop talisman with this article. You can participate directly in its spell by taking up your favorite strong drink (however striong that may be for you) and raising one to Isaac's image, saying "Slainte!" (slawnchuh), which as well as being a popular Irish toast plainly means "Health to You", and drinking. Doing this repeatedly can only add to the power of the work.
There are so many good things to say about Isaac's life and work, but ya know, I'll write no eulogies today.
Slainte!
