Wyrd-i Convention 2010 (27th June’10)
Theme: The threads of our individual lives have been spun out of the past and have been woven into a web of connections. But the future lies before us, presenting us with many opportunities and choices. The journey goes on.
Wyrd-i is part of that journey, individuals and groups empowering the Self and each others, through imagination, inspiration and spiritual development, allowing the magic to flow through the threads of the web.
The magic of the Web is that it is limitless and in constant flux: Wyrd-i will enable Pagans to look within at their own wyrd, to connect with other Pagans, to explore the Pagan Web, and to discover how the Pagan Web connects productively with the World Wide Web of which we are a joyous and creative part.
