About Castalia ---
THE CELTIC HARP has long been the symbol of the bard in our society,
and the folk guitar has been a symbol of music for the people. Folk
music tells stories, and evokes feelings of present and past.
Castalia will perform music by Pagans about Pagans, and about our
special relationship to the Gods and Spirits of the land and sky, and
to each other. Especially featured will be songs from her new CD, In
Plain Sight.
Performing professionally since 1979, Ontario native Castalia has
performed concerts and given lectures, workshops and presentations at
Pagan festivals and conferences all over Ontario and in the eastern
half of the United States.
A Priestess in both the Alexandrian Tradition and the Wiccan Church of
Canada for over fifteen years, she also holds a Bachelors of
Education and an Honours Bachelors of Arts in Religious Studies and
Anthropology.
She has recorded four albums, three of them pagan and available on CD.
She will be touring the South-eastern United States in late December
and January this winter. Check below for dates in your area!
About Lucidian:
Lucidan is a musical duet that performs a unique blend of Pagan,
Renaissance, and Celtic stylings. Lucidian features the talents of
Lady Ishara on vocals and percussion, and SkyDragon on vocals,
mandolin, guitar, violin, and drum.
Their first CD, "For the Lady and Lord", is a collection of 13
traditional, contemporary, and original Pagan Songs. Their CD
released in Jan '07, "Soluna ", explores new musical horizons through
the celebration of the Pagan Spirit in story and song. Soluna, the
fusion of Sol and Luna, represents the eternal dance and synergy of
darkness and light; the integration of Goddess and God within
ourselves and the cycles of existence.
Lady Ishara is a Priestess-Hierophan t of the Fellowship of Isis, and
founder of the Lyceum of the Sacred Spiral, in Fort Walton Beach,
Florida. She has been a practicing Pagan for 19 years.

DENIALISM
2 years ago

The Castle Keep (Start Here)
Denialism
Denialism is the employment of rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of argument or legitimate debate, when in actuality there is none. These false arguments are used when one has few or no facts to support one's viewpoint against a scientific consensus or against overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They are effective in distracting from actual useful debate using emotionally appealing, but ultimately empty and illogical assertions.
