Woa.

John Halstead posted an account of his Skype session with Galina and myself:

I’m here to tell you that you can sit down with that person from the Internet who you think hates you and have a civil, even friendly, conversation. Tonight, I had Pagan Tea Time over Skype with Sannion and Galina Krasskova … yes, that Sannion and that Galina. We even talked about polytheism and Paganism. In fact, that’s pretty much all we talked about. No bloodshed. No epithets. Just a nice chat with two interesting people.

For those who are curious Halstead is a gentle, sincere, funny and charming man who clearly cares a great deal for his family. He also has an exquisite sense of décor. You should Skype with him just to see that fabulous Bacchic tapestry.

I know the online world is shocked, shocked I say to hear that people can actually be friendly and civil towards each other when they’re not relying solely on text to communicate.

Now just imagine what’s going to happen when we all come together for the polytheist leadership conference.
