Hi folks!

I recognize that we are actually going live in March, but that's because we had a technical snag that we've been working on behind-scenes for quite a while now. (Short version, we could create articles, but not populate them with text. Most odd. And: Hail Mercury!)

We're finally up with a lovely mix of History and Tarot for you to peruse. This month, we offer:
Name of Love: the Asteroid Psyche  
Arianrhod: Celtic Goddess of Fate, Fortune and Destiny (Pagan Portals)  
Wicked Strange: Your Guide to Ghosts, Monsters, Oddities, and Urban Legends from New England  
The Magic Spells Oracle Deck(36 Full-Color Cards and 128-Page Guidebook)  
Sorcery in the Black Atlantic  
The Devil and the Land of the Holy Cross: Witchcraft, Slavery and Popular Religion in Colonial Brazil  
Tarot by Tempest: Playing with Numbers, Meaning & Movement  
Tarot Chimera: The Arcana of Odilon Redon (83 Full-Color Cards and 200-Page Full-Color Guidebook)  

Last month we offered:

Pantheon: The Greeks  
Polish Folk Magic: Ancestral Lore & Traditions of the West Slavs  
Charms, Charmers, and Charming: International Research on Verbal Magic  
Deadly Words: Witchcraft in the Bocage  
Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society  
Tarot Tableau Revolution: A Breakthrough System to See the Whole Story in Your Readings  
Tarot for the Magically Inclined: Spells and Spirits to Stack the Deck in Your Favor

May Mercury's Retrograde bring you insight and deeper knowledge!

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!
