Gifts of the Dreamtime: Awakening to the Divinity of Trauma

Normally I can't stand first-person narrative books on shamanism--find out what makes this one such a wonderful exception!

Review of Borrowed Power: Essays on Cultural Appropriation by Bruce Ziff and P.V. Rao (editors)

This is the book that inspired the paganism and cultural appropriation anthology--click the first link to see what I thought of this particular text.

We've got awesome news! Since Kink Magic: Sex Magic Beyond Vanilla is scheduled for a November publication (and is progressing right on schedule) we've opened up preorders! Head on over to http://www.kinkmagic.com/kinkmagicbook.html for more information!

This will be Taylor's and my first cowritten book together. It contains our own philosophy and experience with mixing BDSM, fetishes and magical practice for both practical and metamorphic means. Where most of the existing literature on the topic tends to focus more on spirituality, we stick primarily to magic itself. And, as always, we offer up ideas but leave the decision up to you as to how to integrate it into your practice in the method that best serves you.

We recommend placing a preorder to guarantee that you get your book with the very first shipment we get in. This book has been creating a lot of buzz, and we anticipate high demand--so getting your order in now guarantees that you'll get your signed copy from the very first batch we receive because we have a better idea of how many books to order. (Otherwise we end up with a month of catching up on backorders like we had with the Field Guide!) Go to http://www.kinkmagic.com/kinkmagicbook.html to preorder! (If you can't pay via Paypal, shoot me an email at whishthound (at) gmail.com.)
