This web site is actually quite good, but for some reason it does not display properly when trying to view on my Nintendo Wii. If it helps, the console uses the Opera browser and am forced to using the console for accessing the Net whilst my PC is away being repaired.

Just correcting a typo in the website that popped up. I forgot to type an A in there. Sorry about that

I hope you don’t mind too much. I added a link to your site from mine. I run a site for those homeschooling pagan children (no charges or fees) and yours is one of the few out there that has information for deaf pagans. My son was recently found to have a hearing problem in one ear and it looks like it may be progressive. As my stepdad also wears hearing aids in both ears this is something that I am very interested in. I’m just now seriously learning sign. Yes, I should have learned it long ago but my stepdad is stubborn and refused to learn it himself I would love to know if there are signs for some of the concepts so that my son could grow up knowing how to express his views. He’s young but has already asked about life and death due to some recent happenings. I wasn’t sure how to sign for reincarnation so used the signs for death, birth and forever. Someday I would love to be certified to be an interpreter but for now I’m still busy learning.

I am a seasoned, certified, Pagan/Witch interpreter and would love to learn more signs for many of the concepts so important to our practice. Fingerspelling everything sure takes some of the inspiration out of what we do… Have any efforts been made yet? If not, what a wonderful opportunity for the Deaf Pagan and Pagan Interpreter communities to work together! )
Blessed Be

Wonderful opportunity for interpreters to let you know if they can do interpreting for pagan events. I SURE need one, but doubt I’d actually get one ’cause the event’s board said “we do have an interpreter *****” and I know him and he is indeed NOT an interpreter, he uses home signs that I couldn’t even understand. So I hadn’t signed up for that event which is the weekend after this coming weekend. Ah well. Thank gods, there ARE interpeters available for another event I’m going in May!

Ocean!

Good to know you’re on top of this….often I’ve heard of Pagan Deaf / HOH talk about wanting to grab a ‘terp for an event. ADD me to your list!

Also – a suggestion – as an educator, I often find my students looking for volunteer opportunities. So I’d like to remind folks that IF you have the patience and understanding to endure a new / ITP student’s work, I know the ITP nearest you may be able to offer some leads.

Much love — dam.bear
