Writings on Heathen Holy Ones, Wights, and Spiritual Practice

Description

Among our most meaningful challenges as Heathens and polytheists is to get to know all of our Gods and Goddesses to some degree, even if we are most devoted to just one or a few of them.  Often, becoming more familiar with Heathen Deities and other spiritual beings whom we don’t know well requires different perspectives and new ways of interacting with them. 

This is an anthology for Heathens who have gone beyond the basics and want to move on to deeper understanding and more varied spiritual relationships, perspectives, and practices.  It does not cover all of the Heathen Deities, but it contains the distillation of thirty years of Heathen practice with many of them, including many who are less well-known. 

Though this book is divided into three parts, “Heathen Holy Ones,” “Wights,” and “Heathen Spiritual Practices,” in truth everything written here is either about spiritual practice, or the result of spiritual practice.  Heathen spiritual practices are embedded throughout the book. 

Thought-provoking essays, research articles, tales, poems, prayers, ideas and guidelines for enhancing Heathen spiritual practice, lively illustrations: many approaches are offered here for Heathen spiritual expansion.  This anthology is a call toward spiritual adventure, an invitation to wander on Heathen ways of inspiration and discovery.

Note that most of the chapters in the book are also available on this website. As with all of my books, I want to make sure that people who are interested in what I write have access to my work, whether they can afford the books or not. But if you can afford the book, your purchase is a great compliment and support to me, and I thank you!

The hardback version is available only from Lulu, since this allows me to set a lower price on it without the general distribution fees.  Note that it is less expensive than the paperback for this reason.

The paperback and e-book versions are, or soon will be, available from all major booksellers as well as from Lulu. The print books include plentiful B&W illustrations and are 523 pages.  The E-book has only a few necessary illustrations and does not use special characters for foreign words.
