Emma Restall Orr's Talks & Book launch at Atlantis

Kissing The Hag : The Dark Goddess and the Unacceptable Nature of Woman
Workshop and Book Launch at Atlantis Bookshop. Saturday 22 November 2008.
Emma Restall Orr's book, Kissing the Hag, is about the many faces of the dark goddess of nature and how she has a tendency to make us impossible and miserable. It is an uncompromising book, thick with women's stories, taking the reader from the wild freedom of childhood, and on through the complications of our female nature: the dismissive and frigid, the promiscuous, the needy and demanding, the destructive, the manipulative, to the boring old bag. It is a thought-provoking book, a challenging book, and perhaps most of all a book of devotion. The workshop will be an opportunity to explore these aspects of nature - it is for wild women devoted to the dark goddess and those who fear her, and for the men who have to deal with women who are bloody wonderful and bloody difficult.

New East London moot

There is going to be a new independent moot starting on the first Tuesday of each month in East Ham. The first meeting, on June 3rd, will be an introduction to the different styles of moots that exist, followed by a discussion and decision on such things as what to call it! No entry fee, 7:30 for 8 upstairs at the Denmark Arms. Travelling there by bus is easy, too many buses to mention, and for the District Line turn left out of East Ham station and walk to the end of the high street, it's the massive pub on the right-hand corner. Pub details:
