Meditation vs. Meditating — Jesus vs. AstrologyBack on January 3, I posted that I have two preliminary goals for the new year. The first goal was to finish the manuscript for my next book and submit it to Llewellyn for consideration at PantheaCon. I am glad to say that indeed, I accomplished that goal. For a variety of reasons it takes [...] The Week in Review—PantheaCon, Wine, Fox, An ApologyPantheaCon PantheaCon 2013 is over, and it may have been the best convention yet. Speakers came from all over, including Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero from Florida, Christopher Penczak from New Hampshire, Athena W. of Enochian.org who is up in Canada, and Lon Milo DuQuette from Southern California. Elysia, the head acquisitions editor for Llewellyn [...] Happy Valentine’s Day—See You in San Jose!Today is Valentine’s Day. It’s a wonderful day now dedicated to love and romance. Some people, though, are still alone. And some are thinking about performing a love spell. I made a four-part series of posts on the subject, so before you bring out your candles and spellbooks, take a look: The Secrets of Real [...] See Llewellyn Authors in February and MarchWhile summertime is the busy season for outdoor Pagan festivals and gatherings, it’s indoor Pagan conventions that dominate the calendar in February and March. Here is a quick run-down on upcoming events PantheaCon, Convocation, and Paganicon, and which Llewellyn authors you’ll be able to see there. PANTHEACON: February 15-18, 2013 The grande dame of indoor [...] I Want You to Write!I honestly believe that Llewellyn publishes some of the most important and valuable books around. The authors you read today may be the Gerald Gardners, Doreen Valientes, Israel Regardies, Aleister Crowleys, and Arthur Avalons of tomorrow. Which authors today will take their place in that pantheon of names? I don’t know. My guess is that [...] Standing for SanityLast weekend (January 26–27, 2013), I attended the 9th Annual Conference on Current Pagan Studies. This was not your typical Pagan festival or convention. The conference took place in a large room at the Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. Although anyone could attend, the presenters from all over the country were primarily university professors [...] Six Items of Interest for the New YearWith the new year comes lots of new things. I’d like to draw some of them to your attention and also ask you to share something with readers… 1st Up: Prediction Contest Yep. I’m going to be announcing this for some time to come. In my last blog post I announced a prediction contest. It’s [...] Apocalypse NOT—and the Future of Occult TrainingI am writing this just a few days before the supposed Mayan Apocalypse on Friday, December 21, 2012. The belief that the “end times” are here is nothing new. This LINK will take you to a page that lists over 200 dates where experts and religious leaders said the end of the world was coming. [...] Hypnosis MythsFor those of you reading this who don’t know it, I’m certified as a hypnotherapist and I’m certified to teach hypnotherapy. I’m tentatively scheduled to be teaching some of the basics of hypnotherapy at Pantheacon in San Jose, CA, February February 15–18, 2013. Many authors and speakers, including several from Llewellyn, will be there. Hypnosis [...] My 2¢ On the Pantheacon BruhahaThose of you reading this probably know that I have been attending the annual Pantheacon convention in San Jose, California, for the past few years.
