It has been remarked (by me), that there are times when it seems that life prefers to take on the semblence of a small, sharp-toothed furry animal that derives great enjoyment out of chewing on the ankles of innocent passersby. Today, and this week, the team of ankle-gnawing life-badgers has nominated me for this dubious distinction.
Thus, I missed posting yesterday. Today, and possibly off and on this week, I will fare little better.
Yet, things are afoot (har!) at Pagan Godspell! I turn your attention to the left (as I ever aspire to do) of the screen under “Pages,” to witness the beginnings of what I hope will eventually be an extensive list of books that get my cold, wintery blood stirring in its depths – the Good News Bookshoppe! So far, I have managed to upload a list of fiction (yay fiction!). Next, I will attack the subject areas of Paganism, Witchcraft and Druidry. Thus, I invite you to check out the early version of the Good News Recommended Book List as it unlatches from its seed and moves upward through the cold earth. ETA: I’ve added the comment feature to the book list area for “whatabouts” and general book-talk stuff. Yay!
For now, as the snow drives ceaselessly downward, and the badger at my heels makes growly noises, I soldier weirdly on, holding the burning star of Good News close to my heart, where it can do the most good.

“Bless Me, Ultima” is one of my favorite books of all time! Excellent choice. One of these days I am going to have to get around to reading “Ceremony”.

Inanna –
Good call. I’ll add the Starhawk book and Crowley’s Aegypt. And I’ve never picked up any Kingsolver (at least, any of her fiction – her short nonfiction collection “Small Wonders” will be added to one of the nonfiction lists), but I know so many who adore her.
Coloradocelt -
Yes, “Ultima” is just totally gorgeous. And Ceremony I only just read last year and it completely blew me away.
Yay books!

Fantastic! So happy. I already see some unfamiliar books I’m definitely going to pick up copies of. So glad to see this. And eagerly looking forward to future lists. Yay books indeed!
