Q: Why are there so many bookstore links on this website? A: Because
the webmistress is an avid reader, as are most Pagans. It usually isn't easy to find many
of the titles we really want to read, and Amazon carries a very extensive selection of
books about Pagan subjects. I had to join their affiliate program to get these links to
their store, but I'm not taking cash for providing these links. Rainbow Zend

This website is intended to
be a resource for all of us who revere our Mother Earth and her deities. This is a place
where new and old alike can come to find sources of information and resources to help them
along their paths. This site contains a combination of essays that I've written, essays
and poems I've been given permission to use, and links to sites which have really good
information about a particular subject.
This is a place where people on the various paths and our friends can come to look for
good information on relevant topics. I will describe what you will find when you click on
a particular link to help you sort through everything and find what you are really looking
for. This is the kind of guide I wish I'd had when I was seeking information and
like-minded people to communicate with.
I know how frustrating it is to search and not be able to find the information that one is
looking for. Knowledge is a noble quest, one that I hate to see thwarted by frustration.
Because this site will be changing as time goes on, I hope you will bookmark it and check
back often to see what's new. I'm always updating pages when I find or write something
I think is especially helpful, informative or beautiful.
This website is arranged according to subject. The menu is on the left of each page. Some
things are related, such as Wicca and Paganism, but each has its own separate page.
Both the Events listings and Pagan Webcrafters pages may be of interest to those of you
who want to build your own pages, but each has its own section. Because I update the
calendars often, I don't add links back to each page, so you'll need to click your
browser's "back" button to return to the main website.
If you are looking for information on herbalism, please read the warning at the top of the
page and check out the medical information that I have provided links to. You need to know
what things can and cannot be taken together, and in what amounts. Also, there are links
to medical information for women in the women's issues section. The page starts out on a
political theme, but there are links to sources of useful medical information at the end
of the page.
I would like to remind everyone that they need to use good judgement when surfing the web
for information. Don't believe everything that you see. I've done my best to find the most
accurate information to link to on my site, but I cannot guarantee that everyone else's
information is 100% accurate all the time. I advise you to use multiple resources in your
quest for learning. The internet is a great resource for information. That doesn't mean
that you should not also read books and talk to real people.
Also, beware of cults, no matter what path you follow. If someone is asking you to give
them a lot of money, or to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, they probably do
not have your best interests at heart. Even reputable groups may not be right for you as
an individual. If it doesn't seem right to you, it isn't right for you.
However, the Pagan community in general is a wonderful group of caring and helpful people.
We strive to make ourselves and the world that we live in better. I've met a lot of great
members of the Pagan community, both online and off.
