Northern Tradition for the Solitary Practitioner is a
ground-breaking look at the development of devotional work within
the body of polytheistic religious traditions ranging from Theodism
to Asatru to Norse Paganism, that comprise the greater umbrella of
the Northern Tradition. While interest in devotional and
experiential work within these traditions has been growing rapidly
over the past few years, this is the first book to offer an
inclusive look at the diverse scope and breadth of such practices
as a living, modern-day religion. It features an in-depth
exploration of altar work, prayer, prayer beads, ritual work,
sacred images, lore, and a thorough examination of the common core
cosmology that forms the foundation of belief for the vast expanse
of Northern Tradition communities.
Long ago, healers in northern Europe used herbs for medicine,
magic, sustenance, and to commune with spirits both green and
divine. The Northern Shamanic Herbal picks up where the ancients
left off, with introductions to 150 northern European herbs and
their many uses. This book is also an introduction to a modern
Pagan elemental herbalism that is rife with the spirits of plants
and Northern Gods. Learn to listen to the voices of the
Greenwights!
The common conception of gender is turned on its head in these
eight sensual stories by longtime Circlet Press author Raven
Kaldera. From the ancient Roman Empire to the
virtual-reality-filled future to fantasy worlds filled with fae
creatures, these stories follow people (and other beings) who are
transgender, intersex, androgynous, or otherwise beyond the gender
binary in their exciting and often kinky erotic adventures. In
these stories, a woman becomes the lover of a deity who comes to
her through the bodies of people who are more than simply men or
women; a would-be superhero with a less-than-useful mutation
seduces an androgynous shapeshifter with ambiguous loyalties; a
woman inherits some strange artifacts from a witchy great-aunt and,
with them, a startling and transformational family legacy; and
more. Combining love, worship, power, and gratification, these
encounters are surprising and challenging-and, of course, always
sexy. About the Author: Raven Kaldera is the author of 34 books and
innumerable short stories. He lives on a small homestead in
Massachusetts with his polymorphously perverse polyamorous family,
and a few goats, sheep, and chickens. 'Tis an ill wind that blows
no minds.
Mystery plays, interactive sacred games, teaching rituals with
casts of dozens? As Neo-Pagan groups grow in size and scope, large
public rituals with a cast of dozens are becoming more popular.
This book holds fifteen years of ensemble rituals from the First
Kingdom Church of Asphodel, ready for any Pagan group to use part
or all of them as part of their large religious rites. May the Gods
and spirits bless us all
What is it like to live a deliberate negotiated power dynamic -- a
dominant/submissive, master/slave, or owner/property relationship
-- as part of one's spiritual path? This book is an anthology of
real people who follow that barely charted road in a variety of
different faiths and spiritualities. These writings go beyond the
simple matter of ethics and move into the realm of relationship as
transcendent discipline. Edited by Raven Kaldera, Sacred Power,
Holy Surrender takes us into a world where power can be uncorrupted
and surrender can be a way to freedom.
In any consenting and negotiated personal service relationship,
there are hundreds of ways in which the servant can make the
master's life easier, and the master can manage the servant most
effectively. Why is it that we usually only hear about a few of
these ways? From housework to driving to child care to personal
care, nearly anyone who is in service (or who would like to be) has
dozens of skills they already know that they can offer as a
service, and there are countless more practical everyday skills
they can learn. Real Service is a handbook for service-oriented
submissives and the people they serve, providing techniques to help
a service relationship function smoothly, and suggestions for
service that can be offered.
Power Circuits is an alliance between two alternative lifestyles:
polyamory, or multiple open and honest romantic relationships; and
power dynamics, relationships that choose to be consciously and
deliberately unequal in power, such as dominant/submissive or
master/slave. Both lifestyles are on the cutting-edge frontiers of
romantic and sexual relating, and for a long time practitioners of
both have found little sympathy in either camp. This is the first
book of its kind that navigates the waters of effective polyamory
and power exchanges, with many essays from the brave practitioners
who swim there.
Transgendered people have long been robbed of their own spiritual
history, not knowing that there were once times and places where
ours was considered a spiritual path in and of itself. This book
explores both our spiritual history and our modern predicaments,
shaping the outline of a contemporary spiritual path for those of
us who don't fit into just one gender box. This revised and
expanded edition of Hermaphrodeities features third gender myths,
deities, personal and group exercises, community service project
suggestions, rituals, and interviews with people from all over both
the transgender spectrum. We are all sacred and it is time that the
world knew it.
