Happy Birthday to Oberon Zell!

Sunday November 30, 2008
Today is November 30, and it's the birthday of Oberon Zell, who co-founded Church of All Worlds. Oberon's writings were among the first to use the terms "Pagan" and "Neopagan" as applied to the nature-based faiths that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. He and his partner and soulmate, Morning Glory, have been married for nearly thirty years. You may recall that back in August, Oberon was diagnosed with colon cancer. According to his blog, he's healing and doing well. Thanks, Oberon, for all your many contributions to the modern Pagan community!
