First, I would like to apologize to all the readers of the Merry Times over the past year. Our issues have rarely been on-time, and sometimes haven't been there at all. But when I started this venture, I had high hopes of having much help from the Canadian pagan community - that is something that has never really panned out. Perhaps it was my lack of planning, or maybe it was just not meant to be. 

The long and short of it is, the Merry Times, in its original "e-zine" format, is no longer. However, I don't think we should let it just die, either! What I propose to do is move the majority of this webzine to an e-mail newsletter, with only important event and research information posted on this website. The newsletter would be coming out eight times a year, a guarantee from me personally, although if there is enough information and enough time, I will send out additional copies to everyone.
 
 

I am not willing to let the Merry Times simply disappear. I put a lot of sweat and blood and tears into this webzine. But the move to an e-mail newsletter is the only way for me to keep it alive. The work required to keep a newsletter going is much less than the virtual redesign of this website every month. So this is what I am going to do!

Please, sign up for the new Merry Times, at E-Groups (http://www.egroups.com/group/merrytimes). or use the sign-up box on the home page.  Feel free to pass along any newsletters you have, provided you keep all the information intact regarding copyright, etc. Thank you for sticking with us through all of the mess...
