[edit] Cause of Death

According to page 182 of "Whispers of the Moon", the biography of Scott Cunningham the cause of his death was from AIDS related illnesses. I wanted to know if others thought I should correct the artical to mention that.

I thought that as well, and I remember reading that in several sources. It should really be changed. Ekpardo 00:21, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

- I'll look into changing this (I need to find my copy of Whispers so I can cite it) FyreFiend 07:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book publication dates

There seems to be something wrong with the dates given after the books. I think they're the dates of particular editions of the books, not the first publication dates (compare with the date of the authors' death). – Whitepaw 13:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AOL Chat Log

I met Scott Cunningham at Ancient Ways here in Oakland, Ca at basically what can be called "meet one of our elders kind of community event". They become traveling teachers in theory I guess. Without actually divulging privacy issues specifically here.... I was told in "first person" that he died of AIDS. To the source, I trust. To whom I am? I was hiv dianosed in sept/1999. I have lived here in the Bay Area -- Gay Male - since 1987. I currently reside in the first hiv supportive housing residence [HUD section 811] in the US that is in Oakland. ((( IS SOMEONE GOING TO BUMP ME OFF NOW? ))) Very community aware. My first job was working for a public library for which I developed a dial-up Bulletin Board System "BBS" in 1985 at 300bps. So take it I am resourcefully minded. Find yourself exploring some of these avenues mentioned. Also note: I am the original "White Magick" Chat Room Host as MusicMakr2. Here is a bit of chat log history... nothing specifically about Scott's death in any of my stuff -- I searched. You can see by whose authority these words are written here for you. BTW: My birthday is September 1st. Confluences are all up the works here! MusicMakr2: Sunday Sept 1, 1991 11:00 PM ET MusicMakr2: Ratha1.... Welcome to this week's White Magick discussion. Ratha1 : Hi! MusicMakr2: We are just getting started. Ratha1 : What do you discuss? MusicMakr2: [White Magick is a discussion group for Wicca, Neo-Pagan, New-Age, Spirituallity, and Psychic Developement] Ratha1 : Lemme guess... white magick? Ratha1 : Whoa... sounds good to me! MusicMakr2: Kattalla, Blessed Be.... Welcome to this week's White Magick discussion. KattallaT2: Hi, Music. KattallaT2: Blessed be to you, and to Ratha too. [cut] Starwind : (sorry folks, it's the moon...) JenniferL3: <---especially the cat part! KattallaT2: Starwind!!!!! Ratha1 : !! Sounds incredible!! Starwind : ok ok, sorry Kat KattallaT2: Why? Ratha? Ratha1 : You can talk to cats? Starwind : doesn't everyone? Tared : MMMMmmmmm..White magic!!?? KattallaT2: Sometimes. MusicMakr2: Take the 2/3 spray bottle and add a tad of oil of your choice. Depending on your purpose, you can use whatever you MalisFaust: {=} <-- MusicMakr2: choose. Ratha1 : Well, yeah, but I'm not sure he understands me... MusicMakr2: [White Magick is a discussion group for Wicca, Neo-Pagan, New-Age, Spirituallity, and Psychic Developement] MalisFaust: Punt pillow for ruby^^^^ Tared : Oh.... MusicMakr2: Scott Cunningham has great recipes for oils. Starwind : kind Malis KattallaT2: Boy is she going to need it, Malis. MalisFaust: No, Star, sarcastic.... MalisFaust: };> Starwind : ut oh, sounds like you have the same moon I have... (cut) KattallaT2: Like a misty day in the hills of Southern Ohio, or the sandstone bluffs in Monument Valley. JenniferL3: they give me - it is neat. MusicMakr2: I have heard of a AIDS workshop here in San Francisco that uses Chanting. I want to get some more information from MalisFaust: I saw some sights yesterday, Kat, We cruised the Blue Ridge Parkway.... JenniferL3: You like S. Ohio, Kat? I camp there a lot. MusicMakr2: a friend of mine. KattallaT2: Or a bright clear day on the Ohio River. Garfield11: *smiling to Biff* :) MusicMakr2: Foxfire001.... Welcome to this week's White Magick discussion. Foxfire001: what is it? MusicMakr2: [White Magick is a discussion group for Wicca, Neo-Pagan, New-Age, Spirituallity, and Psychic Developement] (cut) I have spent the majority of time from the last edit to this reading from the begining of this chat log. I am only about 2/3 of it down. I have to go bed. See this: KattallaT2: Wicca is a belief in the balance of positive and negative energies in the Universe. Kathy 99 : i'm an agnostic, but the christians can by historical fact prove more of theiar belifs than thes Romulan2 : Ekis, Wicca is a specific, paganism is a generalization Doc Who3 : Think of this; History is written by the winners, and most wealthy so it's Doomsday : There must be SOMETHING to experience what I see and feel. KattallaT2: For our benefit, our belief, we give them a male and female aspect. Ekis : so many people seem to acquaint paganism with mysticism, but it seems like there Dm7th : Aree the most impotartant teachings the world has known. DoctorBiff: Jesus? he was created when Christian(soon to be) needed a tangible, not nameless God to continue KirstenS : Wicca is one of the Pagan Traditions-- something like Lutherans w/in Christianity KattallaT2: We call them the God and Goddess. Ekis : isn't much mysticism in paganism... Fremen 1 : Why are we not all given credit Music? Did Jesus not sin? Or think of it? Kathy 99 : other religions Doomsday : Kathy: What? Doc Who3 : about as right as the local weather man without his computer Doomsday : By HISTORICAL FACT??????? ROAMER9069: Will all Wicca's raise your hand. Kathy 99 : sure MusicMakr2: Freman: If you consider the Bible as 100% fact, than you can say that. I for one do not believe in the bible How in 2006 "Doc Who3" comments are so ill placed here for wikipedia is the answer of it dude!! We all in the "workings" of these tools back then knew the "cascade" of events in concept way before chatting about them here.... why else would we have "progressed" the interest at .10 a minute. I KNOW THIS IS OUT OF THE FLOW OF THINGS REALTIME FROM ME --- NOT RELATED TO SCOTT DIRECTLY --- I know I have his blessing to be here. Where can I go? There are no way to address this anyway here. STOP! DON'T DELETE ME! I obviously need to address the public dimensions again of this "era" of chat eludes of privacy issues of "limited" naming identities... Why of course names were 10 character restrictive... Both Kat and I are maxed at 10. What happen to "MusicMaker@AOL.COM" ?? One single reference at sleazefest.com google cached. The fact of 2006 time is lie! There is none valid anyway. Theory says its a meme I suppose. How long it is going to remain google cached. Is that for me this human specifcally... Thank you Sirs if so. Maybe logically speaking lagit reference now in line. Why? I was survivable from conflicts! My account name began with "PC LINK" all you ignorant assholes! What happen in the grand scheme of "crashing userspace together?" Unresolvable conflict on the id on both sites. Forevermore AXED to the infinite time @AOL exists without a domain sufferance transfer! Pretty damn long time I would say. Mr Case.... You and I know we discussed "human to human" then about White Magick. Who are you to forget these facts. You can't. You don't listen to me anymore do you? Perhaps all of the united powers to be in line of this chastity I experience day to day [hiv community wide] to empower us over my major issues I have no command at my level now to address to community. Dumbing down I say. Strong evidence here. Reality in Oakland. I am something to listen to mind you all. There are real people's names passing into view in many of these chat logs. ????@AOL.COM --- Accounts still could be active. We were not given the expressive freedoms of multiple account logins at the time.... The logs are kept here unresolvable to public disclosure. Infraction alone here is a conflict in my morality of thoughts. Unresolvable Conflicts? Advice? [ In The Mindway 2006 : former sysop of "Sir James BBS with magick resource center" FIdonet 1:215/53 ] Blessed Be Scott! I know he ghosts around in my world in meme ways all of the time. [ see my contributions over there on that science : sigil (magic) transforming to meme science theory ] John Gibson of "Wiccan Work It out" claims his association to White Magick Chat. He won't dialog with me "to work it out" to prove it. Conflicted from the above --- he knows where the line is drawn in the sand. He knows what cascading events are in play. HE IS THE ABUSER #1 of this delimaa John_Gibson_Wiccan_Work_It_Out@FUCKEDUPHUMAN.NET Do I have an authority of identity here? I have to subvert the obvious suspicions with details details and more details --- Oh well... I am Real Up Human!!

I really fail to see what this whole chat log has to do with anything but I've moved it to its own subsection (and reverted my earlier comment back in). This chat log is rather rambling. If you want to include snippets from it that might make more sense FyreFiend 20:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
