Iseum News I seem to be like a broken record whenever I get to update this section. It always begins the same... I never realised so much time had flown by since the last update! Well, it's been over six months now, which is extremely remiss even for me! The main reason for this is the amount of work I've had on, plus the fact I've had to cut back on workshops and other Iseum activities a little to accommodate visiting various conventions and events in different countries. Ellen and I are still running the Iseum Parties, which take place in the homes of those who wish to book them, qnd you'll find details of that in the Events section. Ellen is also running a psychic development group, but again time constraints and the demands of her job, which requires quite a lot of night shifts, means this isn't that regular at the moment. For the same reason, her Journal section will be given a rest for the time being. Ellen is just too busy to keep it up. As well as her regular job, she's also running Wyrd Sisters Emporium, selling all sorts of esoteric goodies, and there's only so much time a girl has in a week! New Additions to the Site I've added seven new articles to the Guest Articles section, five by Michael Lohr and two by Taylor Ellwood. I still have a couple more to add from Taylor, but will save these for the next update. Thanks to the authors for contributing. Workshops and Courses At the moment, I'm not organising or advertising any events, but will be happy to accommodate any groups of 3-8 who want to book one. I plan to come up with some new events ideas for the summer, and will post all details here. The same applies to Reiki training. Anyone wishing to book this, please bear in mind our location, which is the Midlands of England, and the fact that first degree Reiki takes two sessions on consecutive days. Anyone requiring training in the south west of England, I can put you in touch with my Reiki Master, Paul Weston. Just enquire. He comes highly recommended. Prints of the Sekhmet Picture A few people have mailed me about the picture on the first page of the site, asking if prints are available of it. I realised then that I hadn't put full credit for this picture there! I've now remedied this, and apologies to the artist. The picture is the cover illustration for 'Bast and Sekhmet: Eyes of Ra' and is by Ellisa Mitchell. I mailed Ellisa and she says she will have prints available of this painting very soon. Mail her at: Ellisa Mitchell. Ellisa also said she hasn't yet got a web site, but is thinking of it. I own quite a few of her prints and they are all wonderful. Her work is usually on show at Dragon*Con in Altanta every September (and available to buy), and I expect she exhibits at other events in the States too. I suggest anyone interested in her work mail her about it. Be warned, she's a very busy lady and travels a lot, so if she doesn't reply immediately, have patience, or perhaps mail her again in a few weeks. Books on Magic Two years ago, I started up a small publishing company, Immanion Press, with my webmaster, Gabriel Strange. It's growing well, and although we started off only publishing fiction, we've now expanded into esoteric non-fiction, publishing books on magic, mythology, and associated subjects. We're on the lookout for fresh and innovative books in this vein, so if you're a new author with something new to contribute to the genre, or an established author who'd like to see some of their back catalogue back in print, please get in touch. Mail me at editorial@immanionpress.wox.org. You can go to the Immanion Press web site to download a pdf of our author guidelines. Before submitting anything, please look at our site, to find out how we operate and what our submission requirements are. Last year, we brought out Taylor Ellwood's 'Pop Culture Magick', and Nick Farrell's 'Gathering the Magic: Creating 21st Century Esoteric Groups' is due out imminently. We've signed up a couple of other authors as well, and are keen to expand the list, perhaps eventually to give the non-fiction a separate imprint. Cornish Pagan Wheel Magazine I've recently begun a series of articles on the cat in magic for Anamaya's excellent Cornish Pagan Wheel Magazine. The mag has a wide variety of interesting articles about magic and paganism. It's available from Anamaya The postal address is PO Box 83, Truro, Cornwall, TR3 6ZJ UK. The magazine costs £2.50, but that price might not include shipping.
