Oberon Zell-Ravenheart Being Treated for Cancer

Saturday August 16, 2008
Over at the Wild Hunt blog, Jason Pitzl-Waters announced that Oberon Zell-Ravenheart has been diagnosed with cancer. A golfball-sized tumor was discovered during a routine colonoscopy, and tests are being done to determine whether or not the cancer has spread.

Oberon is the author of the groundbreaking essay We Are the Other People, as well as several books on Paganism and polyamory. He and wife Morning Glory are the founders of the Church of All Worlds and the Grey School of Wizardry. The CAW is calling for healing energy to be sent, and is in the process of coordinating a "rolling thunder" healing ritual -- if you've never heard of this, check out the information on their website, it's pretty awesome. In the meantime, please keep Oberon in your thoughts and prayers, as his family waits to hear about the extent of his illness.

I’ve had to deal with cancer (although I had Hodgkin’s) myself, so my thoughts are with Oberon and his family.

Headmaster Oberon is such an inspiration to those of us at the Grey School of Wizardry. We are all sending him our best healing energy and thoughts and I know he will appreciate all the assistance that can be sent his way.
If anyone will beat it, he will!
We love you, Headmaster!

I will send good vibes their way! Cancer can be so devastating, even when you survive. I’ll pray the Lord and Lady give them strength and comfort.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Oberon at Starwood 1992. I found him to be a sweet, intelligent, and sincere man. I hope that he will find hope, healing and health as he goes through this trying time. Brightest Blessings to you!

I just met Oberon for the first time today in a ritual during the Pagan Unity Festival here in Modesto, California and I have to say he is a very kind, good natured, intelligent man who deserves health and admiration. I wish you the best Oberon. Thank you for autographing my girlfriend Jeanette’s book today.
