Matt and others,
This is the Call for Papers for the APT conference. Please get in
touch with me for paper submission. Deadline is mid-January, but
hearing soon is better :)

--------
The Association of Polytheist Traditions (APT) is organising a
conference on 13th May, at the University of Central Lancashire in
Preston. Conference website is
http://www.manygods.org.uk/conference.html .
While the conference will include a keynote speech and possibly a
longer performance event in the evening, the heart of it will be
panels where people present short papers or performances (or displays
of art-work etc) for audience discussion, and some workshops that
involve participants. We'd like to have people talking to each other
and to us.
'Short' means around 15-20 minutes, for a talk, to allow time for
sharing and discussion within each panel.
The Conference theme is "Polytheism and Animism in today's society".
We invite you to send abstracts or short descriptions of talks or
performances. The APT Conference committee will consider these and
see what fits best with the conference theme. Some possible panels
and workshops may cover -
Polytheisms and shamanic practice today
experiences of being a polytheist in today's society
working out our own polytheisms - new ideas, old understandings
polytheisms, legend, landscape
traditional polytheists in Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales today
polytheist philosophy and 'difficult' issues
Is there another panel or discussion group - or workshop - that you'd
like to see here?
There will be people from Heathenry, Celtic religions and Druidry,
Roman, Hellenic and Kemetic traditions, others including 'their own
tradition', and we hope members of other traditional polytheist
groups and faiths - what we are after is sharing, discussion, talk.
We invite your input, and your participation.
Short descriptions or abstracts of your talk or workshop (no more
than 200 words please) to Jenny Blain at [log in to unmask] or
Linda Sever at [log in to unmask]
