I had the good fortune to meet Margot Adler, the National Public Radio reporter from New York.


Margot hosts "Justice Talking" weekly, in addition to her other reporting duties for NPR. She gave a great talk on February 17 about her 34 years of observing and writing about the Pagan Community in the US. She just published the third edition of "Drawing Down the Moon" a required text for anyone interested in the growth of the Neo-Paganism i nAmerica. Margot is refreshingly down to earth, and one of those people who really knows how to talk to people - a person you feel immediately comfortable with. We shared a coffee early one morning after she finished her workout at the Doubletree, and talked in front of the elevators for 30 minutes. She's one of those people you meet and after a few minutes, feel that you've known them for years - the comfort level is right there.

I've been a big fan of hers for at least twenty years, when I bought my first copy of "Drawing Down the Moon" in 1986 to educate myself about the Pagan renaissance. 

Meeting her was a big highlight of my annual journey to this wonderful gathering.
