Facing North (facingnorth.net), soon to be one of the largest collections of reviews of neopagan/new age/spiritual books, music, and tools, is now live and available to our community.

Created by Lisa Mc Sherry, an author and professional reviewer for the past ten years, Facing North is designed to be part archival storage, part historical database, while growing ever more vital with contemporary reviews of new publications. Experienced and talented reviewers work with Ms. Mc Sherry to read, listen to, and use the creations of our community today in order to provide informed, useful guidance.

Facing North updates weekly as we achieve our next goal of 400 reviews available by Yule. Future expansions will include discussion forums, author interviews, live question-and-answer chats, and seminars with subject experts. We are particularly keen to provide increased exposure to independent artists via downloadable samples of their work and direct links to their own websites.

Please join us at facingnorth.net and share this information with anyone you think may be interested.

For some reason, maybe triggered by the annuals passing across my desk for review this last month, I want to create a personal calendar. Not a wall calendar, but a daily one for reflection and meditation.

This is going to be several months in the making, and I’m not sure how I will share it with anyone… but I am excited at the possibilities.

Step 1: Find out which days are related to sacred to devoted to, what or who, and why.

Did you know that October 23rd is National Mole Day and that it has nothing to do with the animal? “Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 10^23), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry.”

Step 2: Create projects or projections celebrating an aspect of each day.

I’m at a loss for a meditation about science or molecules, at least at this moment. Maybe a future edit will occur.
