This text looks at meditation from a Pagan perspective by incorporating an Earth-based theology and a practice based on the development of the whole self. It makes it possible for a complete novice to begin to learn the basic skills needed to become a skilled and effective meditator. The exercises described in the book begin very simply and then build to more complex and challenging practices allowing more experienced meditators to improve their technique as well. With careful practice, an open heart, and a commitment to improving the self, the practitioner can find that place between the divine and the day-to-day. Meditation from a Pagan perspective helps the practitioner to experience the true meaning of "as above, so below."

Becoming is the force that motivates you to discover and live your authentic life. Living authentically allows you to become connected to the natural energies of the universe and to peer into your true nature. Within this book you will discover the three parts of the personality: the Basic Type, the Personality Layers, and the Inner Narrative. Each one is part of the total picture of the self. Your Basic type is the canvas upon which the painting is created. Your Layers are the many colors added to the work and your Inner Narrative is the story that the art work depicts. Together they make up the beautiful and unique work of art that is you.

A Pagan activity book about numbers for children. It includes bright illustrations and pictures related to each number as well as several fun activities.

This is a workbook designed to be used with my book Pagan Degrees for Children which describes a method of teaching Pagan concepts to children and youth along with teaching ideas about living in community, caring for yourself and others, and respecting all things. The book describes a system of three degrees obtained mostly by doing a number of activities and earning what are called Achievement Awards.

This book provides a system of learning Pagan and good living concepts just for children and young adults through three main degrees. Children from the ages of 5 -- 18 can work on obtaining the Neophyte, Apprentice, and Mage Degrees by meeting specific goals designed for children and by completing the requirements for earning Achievement Awards. The Neophyte Degree is subdivided into several Levels to help give young children small and easily obtainable goals.
