There’s been lots of activity here lately. Bennie, the six-million-dollar kitty seems to be improving, now that we have him on some nuclear powered antibiotics. Our thanks go out to those who donated to the kitty (so to speak) and fired up a few candles for him.
It looks like I’m going to become a Llewellyn author — they are planning to publish a new edition of Rites of Worship late next year. This one will have a new chapter on the use of Music and poetry in liturgy. If it sells well, they might pick up other books in the series like Rites of Intensification and Rites of Passage.
I’ve written the first two of what will be a quarterly column called “Cernunnos’ Corner,” based on my Pagan Man book, in newWitch magazine (in case you haven’t heard of it, it’s a great Pagan mag aimed at teens and twenty- somethings). I may write a column for PanGaia, which is now Pagandom’s leading magazine, as well.
The psychic fairs are starting to bring in small amounts of money on a regular basis, as are the tarot readings over the phone and by email. I hope to get a webcam for my G4 Mac next month so I can use chat software for readings and also to do lectures and workshops over the internet.
Phae is going into her most intense time of the year — the winter holidays at the mall where she sells Select Comfort Sleep Numberâ„¢ beds (see the ad below the tarot ad linked above). Six-day weeks and no weekends off until January!
I’ve sent out emails to festival and event organizers letting them know that now is the time of year to book myself and/or Phaedra for 2007 and 2008. If you run a festival, or own a bookstore or other center that sponsors workshops and lectures, drop me an electron with “2007/mm/dd-dd Event Name (location)” as the Subject line, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible with booking details — or you can just visit our Schedule Page, Presentations Pages, and Fees and Arrangements Page for what you need to know.
Meanwhile, Phae and I are still working hard on writing Real Energy, now set to be released in March of 2007. Trying to condense quantum physics, chi, mana, and vril into one text is quite the writing challenge!
