Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Awyn Dawn, author of the new Paganism for Prisoners. People ask me a lot of questions about prison. What was it like? Were you really in prison? Was it weird to go back in as a volunteer? While many of these questions (and others) are answered in my book, Paganism for Prisoners: Connecting to the Magic Within, I still felt it poignant to open the discussion around what it is like to be a previously incarcerated pagan living within the world.

Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Sharlyn Hidalgo, author of The Healing Power of Trees, Celtic Tree Rituals, and the new Celtic Tree Ogham. I work with the Celtic Ogham alphabet and the Celtic tree calendar, and I am happy to become a part of this community. My life-long love of the trees and my ancestry in the British Isles led me to find spiritual truths in these ancient teachings.
