You’re reading WOODRUFF. I cover the convergence of pop culture, psychology, and astrology. Join my entourage of subscribers—you’ve been missed. My bio is here.
WHEN I FIRST HUNTED DOWN what the web had to offer related to astrology 25 years ago, the first site I bumped into was the vibrant gathering place ElsaElsa.com, named after its proprietor.
The site’s namesake was doubled to ensure you understood how strong Elsa’s presence would register once you entered her online milieu. And that was (and continues to be) a great thing.
Decades have passed, and Elsa is still managing her site with the same eclectic spirit that mirrors her Virgo Sun sign: a wise teacher-facilitator with a bit of the corner bartender thrown into the mix.
Cheers!
I connect with Elsa whenever I want to keep up with how folks continue to explore and discuss astrology online.
