YULE (OR CHRISTMAS) GIFT IDEAS

Go to Newsletter Table of Contents

• Lightness of Beingby Kaur Khalsa. The title of "Chant Music for Meditation" belies the depth of energy and spiritual enrichment this 7-track disc offers. I love the music and the soothing vocals.

  
  
  
  

• Ariadne's Threadby Shekhina Moutainwater. I'm a big fan of a book with lots to sink your teeth into and everything Goddess-related. What I like is not only does it have rituals and exercises to expand your worship, but other resources to check out.

  
  
  
  

• Black Spiral Goddess StatueBecause who can't use another stunning image of the Goddess? This is one of my favorite representations of Her many forms and faces.

• AFro-Brazilian Tarotby Alice Santana. I wish I get this deck, for many reasons. I study the various religions of the gods who are the Ancestors of Santeria. The art in this deck is incredible, and very accurate in depiction and divinatory meaning with the Brazilian tradition! And this deck is a great find for my readings and Tarot collection.

  
  
  
  

• Buddha Lounge 4by Various Artists. Definitely this music CD. Great Music! Very meditative, calming, and helps insomnia. Buddha Lounge 1, 2, and 3 are great too!

  
  
  
  

• Altar PentacleAbsolutely Gorgeous tool! This altar pentacle is absolutely so sweet! The mass of its constuction is of black glass, accentuated with details of the Great Elementals in copper in the four corners! The Pentagram itself is stunning. Nice Choice!

• Inner Temple of Witchcraft Meditation CD Companionby Christopher Penczak. These meditation CDs offer an opportunity to tune out the mundane and immerse yourself in spiritual development and peace while you strive to learn the lessons of your higher self. (Actually I want all three of the CD sets, but the web mistress said we only get three things each!)

  
  
  
  

• Podby Afro Celt Sound System. Afro Celt Sound System has blended their music into a beautiful combination of Celtic and African rhythms and sounds to produce albums of beautiful world music that let your mind soar free without the burdens of everyday harsh beats and overwhelming noise. This is truly an album that you can groove to in joy.

  
  
  
  

• Dolphin Pentagram with MoonstoneDolphins of water represent flowing emotion in this spiritual depiction of grace and beauty.

• Wolvesby Various Artists. I'm wolf-crazy anyway, and the pretty puppies howl throughout this CD. It also features tracks by Bruce Cockburn and Robbie Robertson, two of my favorite solo artists, as well as Native vocals and flute. I have to find work under a stereo speaker every time this plays in the store! Also, the record company, located in Boulder, gives a portion of the profits from this to the National Wildlife Federation.

  
  
  
  

• Madame Endora's Fortune Cardsby Christine Filipak. I like the artwork in this deck. It's very Nouveau, which is one of my fave styles, and very intensely colored. No pastels here.

  
  
  
  

• Wolf Council Candle HolderExecuted in a ceramic which allows fine detail, this grouping of one of my favorite creatures is perfect for my altar, or my living room bookshelf.

• The Magick of Aleister Crowleyby Lon Milo Duquette. A Crowley magick book that is understandable and fun to read - who woulda thunk it?!

  
  
  
  

• Tarot Mirror of Your RelationshipSby Aleister Crowley and Gerd Ziegler. The gorgeous and intense Crowley deck coupled with an insightful book focusing on human interaction but touching on every human experience.

  
  
  
  

• Tree of Life Pendant The glyph of the Universe in wearable form! Set with the appropriate stone at each Sephiroth, this hand-made piece can be worn for beauty, charged with power and used in meditation.

• Obsidian Scrying MirrorFor years, I've been looking for a traditional Obsidian Scrying Mirror made famous by Dr John Dee. Finally found them - handmade and affordable. The Visions CD (ISBN# 0972729305) that teaches you how to scry is a wonderful accompaniment to this Scrying mirror for those who are new to this ancient form of divination.

  
  
  
  

• Moon Magick Deluxe Essential Oil KitFor those of us who like to dabble in the alchemical art of blending oils and creating our own ritual blends this is perfect! Everything you need to get more than started!

  
  
  
  

• Sekhmet StatueFierce and elegant, this statue makes a lovely altar adornment or objet d'art to charge with protecting your home.

• Anandby Snatam Kaur. I love this CD! Snatam has one of the sweetest voices I've ever heard, and the cut "Kabir's Song" from this CD is my current favorite thing to sing! Every word she sings arrives on a breath of love, and we all could use more of that wonderful vibration.

  
  
  
  

• Songs for Earthlingsby Julie Forest Middleton. I want this book because it's huge, and filled with chants and songs for pagan practice. Singing and chanting are great ways to raise and channel power, and this looks like an awesome selection of chants and songs to learn and share. Also, I don't know how to read music, but this book promises to teach music-reading in a few easy lessons, which I think makes it really valuable!

  
  
  
  

• Lilith StatueLilith is my favorite goddess. She's a wonderful icon of feminist power - a strong, independent woman who makes her own choices and doesn't let anybody tell her what to do. And this statue would fit perfectly with my home's decor!

• Inner Light Dragon CandlelampMy love of the dragons is great and I would adore having this lovely lamp to light my meditations on them.

  
  
  
  

• World Tree PendantI think that this pendant is beautiful in its simplicity and I would love to wear it in circle.

  
  
  
  

• Goddess of the Sea Wall PlaqueMy recent vacation to the sea has made me fall in love with the majesty of the ocean and I would like to honour that call I hear to return by seeing this plaque on my wall every day until I can go back to the sea again.
