Loneliness and Revelation: A Study of the Sacred Published by O Books / John Hunt Publishing Co. (Hampshire, UK) ISBN: 978-1-84694-355-3 160 pages Release Date: 30th October, 2010. Almost everyone experiences loneliness in their lives. Yet most people are secretly afraid of it, and will do nearly anything to avoid it. Few are willing to talk about it at all. These forty-five meditations show that loneliness is not simply a social phenomenon, nor a medical condition, nor a weakness of will. Rather, it is an existential condition of life. So you can't turn to other people, or "true love", for a solution. Nor can you turn to God, for God is probably lonelier than you are! But loneliness is neither good nor evil. Indeed it can be a source of profound spiritual insight. Great religious heroes like Moses, Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed made their most important spiritual discoveries in solitude. The text then offers a new way to understand the meaning of our spiritual experiences. More information This title is not yet released.

The Other Side of Virtue Where our virtues came from, what they really mean, and where they might be taking us. Published by O Books / John Hunt Publishing Co. (Hampshire, UK). ISBN: 9781846941153 Release date: 25th July, 2008. Using ancient heroic epics and sagas like Beowulf, the Illiad and Odyssey, the Eddas, the Tain Bo Cuailnge, and literature inspired by them including the works of Shakespeare, Tolkien, and J.K. Rowling, this book explains the world-view that gave birth to our virtues. In that world-view, life involves inevitable confrontations with inexplicable events like fortune, nature, other people, and death itself. However, the good life itself becomes possible when we face them and respond to them. Finally, the book calls for a revival of heroic and classical Virtue in our time.

A Pagan Testament The literary heritage of the world's oldest new religion. Published by O Books / John Hunt Publishing Co. (United Kingdom). ISBN: 9781846941290 Release Date: 28 November 2008. Pagans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. While this is true, there are also many written works which constitute its "testament", or its central literary expressions of spiritual identity. Some of them are thousands of years old, such as the Descent of Ishtar, and the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Others are more recent, such as the Charge of the Goddess. These written works have not been brought together, in the same book, since the movement began. "A Pagan Testament" collects these original works, along with the poetry and prose that inspired the founders of Wicca when it all began. It also includes the largest collection of circle songs and wisdom teachings ever published. These together form something like the Pagan equivalent of the Biblical books of Psalms and Proverbs. They show that Paganism is continually growing and being contributed to. Finally, the book includes an original and valuable philosophical commentary and interpretation.

The Mysteries of Druidry Celtic Mysticism, Theory, and Practice Published by New Page Books (New Jersey, USA) Foreword by Isaac Bonewits Illustrations by Jane Brideson The Druids were the mystics, philosophers, and magicians of the ancient Celtic world. Their spirituality was borne from the romantic magic and the near-worship of poetry and music, warrior prowess, and the world of nature. This book describes this mystical romanticism as it was in ancient times, and offers various ways to bring it to life today in both private and social realms.

Dangerous Religion: Environmental Spirituality and its Activist Dimension

This title, my first published work, is sadly out of print. There may be a few shops or booksellers with a few copies still in their inventory, but there are no garuntees. Try Little Mysteries Goddess Shop, Halifax NS, or try Melange Magique in Montreal. There might be a few sellers on the Amazon.com marketplace, with a copy or two to spare. I will eventually re-release the book here on this web site, as a PDF download (although perhaps with a few revisions - a "second edition" if you will). But at the moment other projects have priority.
