Merry Yuletide!
* New forthcoming edition of The Goodly Spellbook
Several weeks ago a fan in our book's Sterling Publishing house emailed to ask us to redesign and supply new material for a paperback re-issue of TGS this Fall 2014, on the eve of its 10th anniversary in print. She called us "evergreen sellers" (steadily lucrative for their catalogue), and said vampires are out, Witches “in” again.
Honored, we’ve agreed, and have finally been enabled to help design a new cover; have added great enabling spells and other fascinating info on magic; and have insisted on an expanded Index. We'll query her to find out when and how soon you can order a copy.
Stay tuned to find out how you can be mailed it hot off the presses!
* Support for Coven Oldenwilde's advocacy of incarcerated and institutionalized Pagan/Wiccans’ religious rights
The widely distributed Pagan Craft Newsletter (c/o Cathy Mitchell, 234 Honeysuckle Ridge Rd., Millers Creek, NC, 28651) has voluntarily decided to mail Lady Passion's Pagan Prisoner Advocate's Guide to prisoners for free in exchange for an SASE with 4 postage stamps per copy.

* Samhain XIX videos & pix now posted
Samhain 2013: Witches Gone Wilde was a great success. (Once again our months-long chanted mantra -- "No wind, no rain, no cold, no snow on Samhain" -- foiled dire meteorologist warnings of a wash-out.)
