About this list

We believe this to be the most-complete list for our community; please send us additions and corrections! That old photo sitting in an box in your closet: it can provide the image for somebody here who has no picture at all, or whose only photo is appallingly unflattering.

About this list

Who's included: Radical Faeries who died of any cause; most of these people (but not all) were claimed by the AIDS pandemic. We're only including members of our particular community, rather than friends and other inspiring individuals who died of AIDS; that list would be much harder to compile, and a different project. The Radical Faeries didn't have a clearly-defined beginning, so we include related communities (such as Magdalen Farm and Short Mountain) which preceded the first big national gatherings. In scanning through old publications, we skip people who appear to be in the "friends" category; if you know of somebody who was left out, by all means let us know!

Only one non-human is included: Momma, the white dog who lived at Wolf Creek from before the early RFD days, and who owned the place more than any of us did. She had a strong place in the community and knew it.

Fill in the gaps: If you can add some of the missing names or dates, or have a photo that's suitable for use here, contact us. Please compare this list to your own, and help fill in what's missing! (Here are the sources we've used so far.)

A printable version of this list is available (one line per name, omits the pictures and white space), in Word and pdf formats. (Being generated manually, it won't always be as current as the Web page; see the date at the end of the document.)

Our page background is from Gryphon Blackswan's burial shroud.

History, Crew, Discussion: This list began in early 1997, writing down names and talking to other people who had their own lists. Thus far, the project is just me, Mugwort; I'd like to see a team of volunteers develop, so we can begin scanning and archiving photographs. (Pictures get lost or damaged, and can only be seen by whoever physically has them. Once on the Web, we'll all be able to see them, and they can be backed up.) You're welcome to join in whatever way interests you. I've created a Yahoo Group for anybody interested in this list; I expect the volume of messages to be light.

Change notification: You can be informed by email whenever changes are made to this page. It's a free service, and unlikely to send Spam (bad for their business).

Please send errors, comments, suggestions, additions, or Web references to Mugwort (f...@pobox.com).
Please see our submissions info before mailing any photos!
