My next blog post...

...will be a description of my biography project. 

If you know me or you've been reading my blog posts, you've seen all this stuff already. I'm starting a new phase of the research: contacting and interviewing people who were important in Isaac's life. I want to be able to give them a link to a page that describes what I'm trying to do.

If you have any criticisms of that post ("Hey, Bill! Don't use the term 'warty ol' hag-witches!'") please comment using this post on LiveJournal so my potential interviewees don't read through old corrections. If you're reading it on Facebook, it doesn't matter; the links I'll send them will all point to the LiveJournal version.

A Biography of Isaac Bonewits

My name is Bill Seligman. I am writing a biography on the life of Isaac Bonewits. I intend to tell the story of his life; how he influenced the Neopagan, Druid, and Wiccan communities; and to include a generous share of "Isaac stories." It will be a biography, not a hagiography; I don't think he'd want his image to be polished (nor tarnished!) from anything other than what it was.

Shaking hands with death

This was hard to watch, remembering what it was like for Isaac. I absolutely agree with Sir Terry Pratchett on this issue.
