At the advice of my friend Lisa, I’m doing a slight rework of the survey I intend to release about Wiccans/neopagans and divorce practices. Rather than completely overwhelm people with a deluge of questions, I’m breaking it up into the following sections. I think it covers everything. See on the list below, and let me know if any larger topics I might be missing.
I’m also working on the knotty problem of incentive. I can’t reasonably expect people to do this for absolutely nothing. Just asking the questions was emotionally wrenching, and I’m not answering them myself because I write about my own experience – in detail – in the book. Somehow offering a free copy of the Spellcasting Picture Book, or of the upcoming illustrated Zombie Repellent Chronicles1 just doesn’t seem to answer to what some people will go through while fishing their memories over this stuff.
