An old friend came to visit today. Such joy. An old friend who knew me when we both were young. She scaled the stairs a bit slow this time, not the old Olympic contender swimmer as before. Her joints a bit achy. She arrived, but not out of breath. We embraced.
You look so much better than the last time! I confessed.
Thank you, she said.
We sat on my couch. She was once in love with me. I thought many of our contemporaries didn’t make into the third destiny. We called out the names of friends who passed away. It made us feel very special suddenly, like survivors guilt, how come we are still standing? After all we are still in the sixties, pushing seventy. Not so old if you think about it. Sixty-eight must be the new fifty-eight. Who knows? Doesn’t matter. […]

Musings
Take my eyes off the computer, take back my feelings from watching the elections, put down my research materials, its spring time!
The main event in my front yard was the blooming pink flowers of the decoration plumb tree. She who enchants me every year by throwing pink petals in my path, falling from the tree like snowflakes.
My front yard is self-planted.
Some flowers are very imperialistically inclined. One spring there were just a few firepoker flowers, ill named for sure, they look more like orchids, in brick red. The next year they have colonized the entire front yard, and a year later they moved all the way down to the sidewalk.
I have noticed that my Morning Glories are also into expansion. I have planted one bush in the backyard to have something nice run up, on my aging old bamboo hedges. I watered […]

URGENT: Halt Woman’s Execution for ‘Witchcraft’
To Those Who Share Our Deep Concern:
Please join us in calling for the immediate pardon and release of FAWZA FALIH [DEL:Falwah Faliz], a Saudi Arabian woman who has been sentenced to death by beheading for the alleged crime[DEL:s] of “witchcraft.” As Human Rights Watch has declared, the conviction of Fawza Falih is a travesty of justice.
A letter to His Royal Highness KING ABDULLAH has been drafted and signed by clergy and members of various faith traditions. The letter may be read online where you may also sign it. Please do so as soon as possible at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/AIDFAWZA/petition.html
Please help to circulate this request for support as widely as possible — time is of the essence.

I was interviewed today by Jennifer Lee, director / producer, who is making a documentary called Wavelength.
It chronicles the Second Wave Feminist Movement.
Wavelength is a documentary film by Jennifer Lee about the women’s liberation movement (1965 - 1977). As clips become available, I’ll post them for you.

Interviews
Blessings,Dianic women from the east coast have been asking when and where Z Budapest will be appearing, and we wanted to let you know that she will be in Woodstock, New York in May 2008. Here’s the scoop!Â
Zsuzsanna BudapestGoddess Teach-In of the Holy Book of Women’s MysteriesÂ
May 2 -4, 2008Woodstock, NY Â
Goddess Teach-In of the Holy Book of Women’s MysteriesÂ
We are Gathering the Goddesses, a journey through shared experience and discussions of philosophy and practice of the Goddess Path. Where did the Women’s Spirituality Movement begin? Rediscover The Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries … the book that changed the minds and hearts of American women … applauded widely in historical accounts of the Feminist Movement. But do you actually know what’s in this book? Why is it so effective? How it came to be birthed? And, behind the scenes personal stories that shaped Feminist Spirituality and the world. Â
Z Budapest talks intimately about her origins, Feminist Spirituality and the women who participated in it. Join Z as she shares the stories and concepts through new eyes and extended experiences. She will bring you to a deeper and more inspired journey to rediscovering the Goddess within. Â
Z Budapest is the foremother of the Women’s Spirituality Movement, founder of the Feminist Dianic Tradition and a hereditary witch from a long line of Hungarian witches and healers. Â
Z Budapest will talk about the origins of this work, and the women who participated in it. Together you’ll reread the Manifesto of the Susan B Anthony Coven Number 1 with the woman who channeled it, you’ll read the Shaman Women’s Songs, and journey through the Holy Book with new eyes. Â
Mysterious woman, you are magic. Come spin spells with me, learn the hidden passages of your power, face your fears, make your dreams real, and reclaim yourself as Goddess and Witch. Â
The Holy Book was written when the majority of the new fangled spirituality had to come from far, far away, and when the then gurus were always men of color. Women served the herbal teas, the men preached and got rich. Into this milieu came Women’s Spirituality. No gurus, hardly any money was involved, and all women were welcome. And the teachings were an eclectic mix of global choices of white people’s paganism, and all nations paganism. Integrated into one cohesive practical common-sense spirituality which allied Women’s Spirituality with the Universe. Â
As Florence Nightingale once asked in her diary: Could there be ever a religion whose essence is common sense?” We answered a resounding Yes. That’s what the Holy Book contains even today. Â
At the end we do the Self-Blessings Ritual, together, in front of a mirror skyclad. (It leaves you with a major impression)Â

Zsuzsanna Budapest - “grandmother of the goddess movement” - has led rituals, lectured, taught classes, given workshops, written articles tirelessly, and published in hundreds of women’s newspapers across the country for many decades. She has powerfully influenced many of the future teachers and writers about the Goddess.Â
Z Budapest wrote The Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries which was originally published in 1975 as The Feminist Book of Lights and Shadows. This book served as the first hands-on book to lead women into their own spiritual/Goddess heritage.

Hillary Clinton was buried and laughed out of the race in Iowa. She was dismissed, she was vilified, and menopausal old males danced on her grave. “She has so many negatives!” No wonder she is loosing to Obama. Why isn’t she more Human? (A person with a vagina is not human?) Drop the robot act. (Why not be hysterical so we can put you down on that?) Said O’Reilly whose old face I am also real tired of. Hillary laughing? Oh she is laughing to hard. It’s a put on. Listen to that! Hillary is crying? Well they must have told her she must cry, now she is too emotional, she is desperate, she is going down. Good riddance.
What? What was that again? Oh the polls. The polls are saying she is going down in New Hampshire as well. All nine polls, negatives, […]
