RE: haptocracy. [snip] There's generally a better way of working which is unique to each person, and it's most beneficial for all to allow them to do so.
Yes! (Steal the word and share it as much as you want!)
I started articulating it, incidentally, after "No, the way we prep for group stuff is a three hour cleaning binge right before people come over for ritual or class" when I was living in the group covenstead.
(I had specific assigned spots: I could also not get them *not to mess up* the bits I cleaned - the temple room, for example, which wasn't going to get other explicit needed use overnight - if I cleaned them the night before.)
That was also the semester I was working full time, in grad school part time, and doing significant logistical support for a friend whose partner had died, so while it was before most of my health crash issues, my time was very tightly scheduled.
Um. Anyway.
Thanks for the book mention - it's been on my vague list to do something with sometime, and I will nudge it a little higher for amusement factor.
I do agree about the libriares. I do buy most of my Pagan books in print, still (and everything else in ebook) so I can share them or pull them out during a class, and I will occasionally lend. But they are my books, mine. (And yes, setting up Pagan libraries is... complex.)
