As of
A long-time member of the Pagan community in central Alabama, I serve as Namen (chief priest) of Temple Zagduku, alongside my wife, Lilith.
I am also studying the Hermetic tradition with the Church of the Hermetic Sciences (hence you may see me sign things as Fra. Ophis sometimes).
Before that, I was in a Zen school for 13 years, and I may have done some Metis Madness out in the woods occasionally.
I have written for various Pagan print and Web periodicals, some of which did not die as a result.
My positive book reviews outnumber the negative ones, because when I receive something uninteresting to review, I usually don’t read it. Ars longa, vita brevis!
As of 2013-04-24, I’m enrolled in the Amazon Associates program, so some of my book links are salted with the “pay this man his referral fee” code. You prefer that to a begging button, right? I’m just trying to deal enough to support my own habit!

Just wondering if i can share some of your reviews on my site. All links and copyright remain intact, of course. Thanks, and keep writing!
I would much prefer that you just link to whatever you want to use, thanks.
Freeman,
I read a comment of yours on “Works of Literata” where you say that the Universal Life Church is recognized by the state of Alabama. Do you know how I can document that, or find official confirmation? My nephew and his fiancee have asked me to become ordained in order to perform their wedding, and I just want to perform due diligence before I tell them that I’ll do it.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry I overlooked this. My wife did the detailed research on it a long time ago. We are now ordained through our own Temple and don’t need it; but this is what the ULC says: http://www.ulc.org/training-education/state-wedding-laws/
