Welcome to Facing North!

Welcome to one of the largest collections of reviews of neopagan/Spiritual/New Age oriented books, music, and other items of interest to our community. My wonderful team of reviewers and I have been writing reviews for many years now, and we love it.

Opened on October 31, 2006 with just over 200 reviews, Facing North is -- first and foremost -- a community resource. We ended that year with more than double our opening number of reviews (500+). Although we slowed our growth, 2007 ended with our database at more than 600 records, 2008 saw us at 900 and we edged over 1,000 by the end of 2009. We accept previously published reviews, and articles and reviews from alternative practitioners. It is my goal to make Facing North the largest repository of alternative spirituality reviews on the Internet.

We are committed to creating a practical site with honest opinions that are fair, even when critical. I welcome your feedback and suggestions to improve this site, one that everyone in our diverse community can use. Just email me at: lisa_at_facingnorth_dot_net (with appropriate edits).

Once again: Welcome to Facing North!

Details

Yesterday morning I spotted  the tiniest bit of purple from a crocus pushing through the snow and I was reminded of the breathtaking inexorability of the seasons.

Here in the PNW we've had an unprecedented amount of snow dumped on us, not long after a huge storm that knocked out power for 1/2 million people for almost a week. The good news for you, dear visitor, is that we used the downtime to move through great stacks of items that had been lingering over the holidays.

This month we are publishing the final reviews from one of our earliest members of the Review Circle: Diana Rajchel. It is my pleasure to call Diana a friend, not just colleague, and am looking forward to her many forthcoming projects. (She's given me a sneak preview and they are FANTASTIC!)

Once again Facing North is looking for new members to join our Circle. If you are interested in reviewing Alternative Spirituality books, CDs, and other items please contact me. Our Submission Guidelines page is fairly explicit about expectations, but questions are always welcomed. Please share this call for help as widely as you wish!
