I am very, very excited to announce that Neos Alexandria/Bibliotheca Alexandrina has just released a new devotional to Hermes. 

I've been awaiting this one for a long time and from the table of contents provided on their site, it looks to be a promising and thorough exploration of a very complex God. I have one small prayer in this book, as I honor Hermes because I am training to be a Classicist and He is, among other things, the Greek God of language. 

Anyway, the book is called "Guardian of the Road: A Devotional Anthology in Honor of Hermes" by KS Roy. 

Folks interested in obtaining a copy can do so here: 
http://neosalexandria.org/bibliotheca-alexandrina/current-titles/guardian-of-the-road-a-devotional-anthology-in-honor-of-hermes/. This site gives all the information for ordering. This devotional will soon be available on amazon, but that takes a couple of weeks. It's available now on createspace. Check it out!


 
 
I just received word that Asphodel Press has put out its first Hela devotional. This particular book has been in the works (as far as I know) for several years now and I am delighted that it's finally available. I had the privilege of reading a couple of the prayers and two of the articles for their respective authors a couple of years ago and if that's any indication by which to go, this devotional promises to be both powerful and beautiful. (I'm waiting for my copies to arrive in the mail!). Check it out, it's called "Wholly: A Devotional for Hella.":

(yes, I dislike the title, but this isn't my book so it wasn't my call. don't let it dissuade you from considering a purchase).


 
 
I am very happy to announce that bibliotheca alexandrina has released its newest devotional: "Queen of the Sacred Way," a devotional anthology to Persephone. 

I know many of my readers have been waiting for this one for a long time. (for those wondering at my involvement, it is very, very minimal: I have one small piece in the book, a poem written close to twenty years ago.) This promises to be a beautiful offering to the Hellenic Goddess of the Underworld. So check it out folks. i'm waiting with baited breath for their upcoming Hermes devotional. :) 

"Queen of the Sacred Way" may be found here: http://neosalexandria.org/bibliotheca-alexandrina/current-titles/queen-of-the-sacred-way-a-devotional-anthology-in-honor-of-persephone/

this tells you where and how to order. It will be on amazon.com soon, but (as I well know from my own publishing exploits) they can take a few weeks to update their online catalog.  Congrats, to those of you involved in the collecting, editing, and publishing. This is a beautiful book. 
 
 
This is the last call for those who might want to contribute to my forthcoming devotional to Idunna and Bragi. I'm nearly finished preparing the manuscript for submission and I hope to be ready to submit by February 15. 

If anyone wants to contribute anything, please contact me at tamyris at earthlink dot net ASAP. 

(hint: i'm especially looking for a couple more apple-related recipes).

What Should the Devotional Be Called? 

In the meantime, I have not yet decided upon a title. I am taking suggestions. Please post here if you would like to weigh in. 

If i choose your title, I will give you a free copy of the finished devotional and a mention in the acknowledgements section. 

Thanks, folks.

 
 
Finally, after about two years of work on this project, my devotional anthology to Sekhmet is now available.

"Sekhmet: When the Lion Roars" can now be purchased here:
http://www.asphodelpress.com/devotionals.html. It will also soon be available on amazon.com.

that's all i'm going to say for now, because im in the middle of finals and have no time. lOL. Enjoy.

(to those who contributed to this devotional, do NOT buy a copy. I will send you your contributor's copies after I survive finals week).

While my Sekhmet devotional, titled "When the Lion Roars" isn't quite on the market yet, it soon will be (maybe even in time for Yule) and I thought i'd give y'all a sneak peak at the cover art. 

This was designed by artist K.C. Hulsman utilizing photographs taken by photographer Mary Ann Glass. 

Stay tuned, folks, and I'll be sure to post here as soon as this book has been released. 

 
 
Spero Press has just published my new Sigyn devotional. This is part of their new chapbook series. Hopefully we'll soon see one for each of the Norse Gods and Goddesses. Check out "Honoring Sigyn" here: http://tinyurl.com/6tt5xut

I also received word that there are two new active virtual shrines, one to Nerthus and one to Ullr. Please consider visiting them and lighting a virtual candle in honor of these Deities:
