The Open Halls Project has shut down

Josh and Cat Heath, the organizers of the Open Halls Project, have shut it down: https://wildhunt.org/2022/09/the-heathen-open-halls-project-shuts-down.html Around the time I started hanging out with Keeper of Seasons Hall, one of our members was active military. Thanks largely to his awareness and work, KoSH participated in the Open Halls Project almost from its beginning, supporting the ability of Heathens in the military being able to find people with whom to study and worship as they moved with new assignments. When the organizers of the Open Halls Project began work on getting Heathenry recognized by the Department of Defense and listed on its Faith Group list, KoSH supported them in that endeavor as well. The exasperation Josh expresses in the Wild Hunt piece with Heathens trying for religious "vaccine exemption requests and beard requests," as well as with people who are "white supremacists, overt racists, and folks who were really trying to use Heathenry as a vessel to spread harmful ideologies" is certainly something I can understand. While it's been rare that I've had to interact with people like that locally, their loud and regular presence on teh interwebs is certainly annoying at best.
