The season has shifted and we are moving into the dark time of the year. For some, darkness is scary and it certainly evokes atavistic fears within many. But the dark is also a place that nurtures -- things are created and grow in the dark before emerging into the light. Throughout the month, the Review Circle had the pleasure of working with a number of items that deal with "dark" matters, and are sharing our opinions with you!

This month we offer:
Wolf: Untamed, Courageous, Empowered, An Inspirational Guide to Embodying Your Inner Wolf  
The Ofrenda Oracle: Celebrating the Day of the Dead 
Full Moon Coffee Shop (fiction)  
Cornbones (fiction)  
Whispers from the Coven: Tales of Charms, Witchcraft & Lessons from the Spirit World (fiction)

Last month we offered:

Welcome to Facing North!

We are one of the largest collections of reviews of alternative spirituality 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. Currently, we have more than 3000 items reviewed in our files.

We accept previously published reviews, and articles and reviews from alternative practitioners. It is our 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 and welcome your feedback and suggestions to improve this site, one that everyone in our diverse community can use.

Once again: Welcome to Facing North!
