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!
March 2020 Update
- Details
- Written by Lisa Mc Sherry
Isn't it just a bit astonishing at how quickly the world changes. When I wrote my last Update, not quite a month ago, we were all just looking forward to the change of seasons. Now we are all sheltering in place and contemplating a world of social distancing.
In the midst of all of it, the world moves on. A friend is giving birth to her second child as I write this, a relative was accepted into the school of his choice, my garden is beginning to sprout from long-dormant bulbs, the bald eagles have returned to their nesting site across the lake from my house, and my cats are watching the world with great interest from the safety of their catio.
The Review Circle has had some changes as well. our longtime reviewer, Eileen Troemel is taking a break and we have two new reviewers: Rowan Moonstone and Bailey Roe. Their Contributors page has been updated with their bios and I'm sure you'll enjoy their writings.
For those of you who are just a bit exhausted from the constant input, our review circle has a lovely collection of items this month.
