Daniel “Nomo” Higgs, along with a number of other notable travelers, is probably the biggest influence behind my willing participation in these things we call New Old Traditions. So, lucky for me, he’s got a new double album out on Thrill Jockey Records. Here’s what I believe to be the first track.

New York Magazine decided to fill in some space with a little article on raw milk this week. We Revelers have been excited about raw milk for a while now, and generally regard it as a holy food. For that reason, it’s nice to see a mainstream mag like New York giving this “illegal-in-most-states” but [...]

As I packed and prepared for my trip to India, it seemed like an obvious choice to leave behind my wire blade. I had every intention of keeping up my daily practice while traveling, but left my coat hanger blade for a few good reasons. First, I didn’t want to check my bag, and if [...]

Food-wise, we are still in winter. In fact, we’re kind of in the worst part of it. The winter vegetables are tired and old, and we’re sick of them. But, other areas of our natural world are kind of a buzz. It’s spring, and we know it, and even if earth has yet to start [...]

HALLMARKS OF THE SPRING EQUINOX AS REVELATED WITHIN THE N.O.T. Birth On the Spring Equinox the sun is born and immediately begins to influence our day-to-day activities.

As spring arrives, We Revelers focus on the balance between day and night. We talk of spring as a time to celebrate equality and union. We think of the peace that we will feel lying outside in the grass. We think of the flowering trees and the young tender vegetables that will soon replace our [...]

After attending a winter solstice get-together that was entirely infused with ritual and meaning, I decided to recreate this experience on the vernal (spring) equinox. Although the winter solstice gathering was enjoyed by a large group of extended friends, I am spending March 20/21 with my lover, and so we planned our intimate rituals accordingly. [...]

Within the hagiographies (fancy word for the study of saints), St. Patrick is known as the man who, among many other valiant, if questionable, acts, rid Ireland of the dreaded snake!
