What You Love About You

This is a pass along journal. The topic of this one is one that I am taking from a recent Oprah show, What you love about you. Share with us what you love about yourself. You can write it, show us in your art or photos or however else you wish to express yourself. When [...]

Hecate Wants Me for a Moonbeam– Pagan Songs and Chants (Birthday Books Vol 22 of 41)

Ah, pagans. We’re a musical people. It’s no surprise that our rituals include song, dance, musical instruments and theater! When my son was young, I would delight him with all the chants and songs I knew and make up ones I didn’t. One I made up was “Hecate wants me for a moonbeam to shine [...]

Utopia (the world as you would make it) (Birthday Books Vol 32 of 41)

Contact High

This is (well, it was until now) a Japanese children’s book, full of wonderfully expressive, minimalist drawings of a couple of pandas. I’m asking people to ignore the Japanese writing completely (or work with it, or around it – there’s not a lot of it, really) and to add their own thoughts, poems, stories, or [...]

Sacred Spaces (Birthday Books Vol 37 of 41)

This is meant to be part art journal, part travel book. In the modern world, ancient temples and monuments are often lost or in ruins. Still we crave –and therefore find or create– sacred spaces. In oregon (where this book is starting) Portland pagans dance around a copper stag in a park and leave offering [...]
