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!

We're heading into the extreme part of the season; here in the Pacific Northwest we've had record-long days of heat and its terribly dry. My furkin look at me as if to say 'why do you let it get this hot?' as they lie in ungraceful, but cooling poses underneath the ceiling fans, soaking up the coolth from the wood floors.
I've been reflecting a lot lately on this website and its purpose, and wondering just how much of a labor of love it is, and how it could sustain itself if I were to have to give it up. We're not flashy, we just quietly publish our opinion obout the items our community -- the new age (can we even use that term after so many decades?), spiritual, Pagan community -- may find of use.
My Review Circle is a large reason for our strength. All of our contributors, past and present, have woven a shining band of energy that sustains the energy we can all draw upon. More than seven years ago I began it and I am deeply proud of its strength and depth and variety.
It is a blessing, and I am blessed to be a part of it.
