Thanks for your blog and for the links! I’d like to introduce my blog on Religious Studies in Spain. It is most probably the first of its kind in Spanish, but I have found out, to my great surprise, that there are no RS blogs in English either. Apparently only those scholars and students devoted to Biblical, NT and Judaica studies have an interest in blogging. Yours is the closest I have come of finding a blog that deals with studies on religion from a broader perspective. If you know of any others, please let me know. Thanks!
(I’m also living in BCN and have just finished a Master in histoy of Religions. Find more about myself at the profile section of my blog:

Hi Jaume, yes, such blogs are maybe not so many right now but I think it is an increasing field.
Any finds I make in this regard I will post here and let you know - let me know also if you find anything you think is interesting.
Your blog looks very interesting, I will peruse it later. Good luck - don’t wiorry about the Wiccans!

Just a quick not the say I have updated with some new links. Bad Christian is a great blog about liberal Christianity and it place in relation to the more often encountered right-wing version. Also added is Guruphiliac which is a real find as I have long been lamenting the demise of David Lane’s essential Scumbag Gurus.
Finally, I’ve made a great discovery in Andrew Magergut’s Almanac: New Middle Ages which is an excellent resource for Byzantine Christianity, mysticism and philosophy as well as touching on Islamic Art and related topics. There is a great article Islamic Asceticism up there as of now and it is an essential read for anyone interested in the early development of Sufi practice. It has inspired me to post a few things on early Islamic asceticism and its relation to Eastern Christian practices and the teachings of Saint Isaac of Nineveh - hopefully these will appear at some point next week if I get the time.
