What a year it's been.

It feels like we're a bit burned out: too stressed, too extended, it's all been too much. The Review Circle pulled together a great end-of-year collection, some of which might be just what you need to rest, relax, and rejuvenate.

We offer you:
Spirited Diasporas: Personal Narratives and Global Futures of Afro-Atlantic Religions 
Anubis: Ancient Egypt’s Lord of Death and Protection  
Celtic Fairies in North America (Pagan Portals) 
Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life 
Cooking with the Kitchen Witch: Magical Recipes from the Hearth  
Breathing with Missoku: The Undiscovered Zen Secret of Japanese Culture 
The Watkins Book of Urban Legends 
A Guide to Pilgrimage (Pagan Portals)  
Song of the Dark Man: Father of Witches, Lord of the Crossroads 
Mexican Magic: Brujeria, Spells, and Rituals for All Occasions 
Witches Among Us: Understanding Contemporary Witchcraft and Wicca
The Magic of the Elements 

Last month we offered:

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)

My wish for you during the upcoming time of quiet is that you quietly manifest that which you most need.

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!
