Quick Update

Hi all,

First of all, I just want to say thank you everyone who’s been posting, emailing, and interacting here this week.  It gives me so much happiness to see that kind of discussion here at NWW.  Thank you all for that!

Secondly, I want to apologize for not posting more this week and for not answering many comments/emails.  As some of you may know, the Southeast was hit by a huge storm system last weekend which left a dozen or more people dead and has caused all sorts of problems in its wake.  One of these problems was a tremendous amount of flooding, much of which still hasn’t subsided.  While my family and I came through all of that safely with no damage to our home and are very thankful for that blessing, I wound up getting a little beat up by it on the back end.  I had to handle some flood-soaked materials for work, and stupid me didn’t think to put on a face mask (though I did at least wear gloves).

I’ve been battling some kind of bug since about Tuesday at this point (I call it a “swamp virus”) and I’m not sure how long it will take to run its course.  I’ve been pretty much on a liquid diet because my throat was so swollen shut nothing else would fit, and I finally think my fever broke for good yesterday.  I think I’ll be fine, and hopefully back in high gear by next week, but for now I wanted you all to know I’m not ignoring any of your emails or comments, I promise!  I’ll be replying to all of them as soon as I can, so please be patient as I try to drink lots of OJ and get better before responding.

Again, many thanks to all of you wonderful readers and listeners!  You make NWW awesome, and I really appreciate it!

All the best,

-Cory

Quick Update – 05/03/2010

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that we will have a podcast forthcoming this week, but it may be delayed a bit.  We had some really rough weather over the weekend and it’s thrown things into a bit of a tizzy, so please bear with us while we get things together.

There’s going to be a mini-podcast up today (a little special episode), but the normal episode probably won’t be up for another day or two.  It’s been recorded, I just need to do the editing.  We will try to have it for you as soon as possible though.

Thanks for your patience!

Blog Post 34 – This Week

Hello to all our wonderful readers and listeners!

I just wanted to make a quick post this morning to let y’all know that we’re going to have lots of good stuff for you this week.  I’m in the process of making final edits to our next podcast episode, which will feature an interview with the incomparable Papa Toad Bone of the Toad’s Bone Apotheca.  In addition, New World Witchery friend and scholar Chris Bilardi (author of the wonderful book The Red Church) has written an article for us on the braucherei magical tradition which we’ll be hosting here.  I think you’ll love this essay if you enjoy magic and folklore (if you’re reading this blog, I imagine that’s the case).

The podcast should be up tomorrow, and the essay will be posted on Wednesday and Thursday, I think.  I am so thankful to all our great friends, fans, readers, and listeners here!  You all make us feel really blessed, and the links, contributions, and comments have just been beyond our best expectations.  Thank you so much for being so supportive of New World Witchery!

Also, I know there have been a lot of comments and several emails that have been sent the past few days and which I haven’t yet responded to.  Please rest assured I’ll be getting to those and answering them as soon as possible.  I just wanted to go ahead and get this post up so that everyone would know what wonderful things to expect this week 🙂

As always, thanks for reading/listening/writing/talking/and everything else y’all do for us here at NWW!
