When I started running meditation groups, I searched for a book that would tell me how to do it. There wasn't one. Like many Pagans, I hate dogma and resent being told exactly what to do. But at the same time, like everyone starting out on something new, I wanted a frame to hang my work from. I learned the hard, slow way. Druidry and Meditation is a guide for Druids who want to meditate. It explores meditation for the body, the intellect, the emotions and for spiritual practice. There are plenty of easy to follow exercises, along with prompts about how to develop your own work from there, held by a philosophical framework. I've included sample pathworkings to get people started, and a detailed explanation of how to construct your own. There's a chapter on how to run a meditation group - covering practical issues as well as the art of writing for groups and the technicalities of guiding. I've also included a section on how to incorporate meditation into group ritual, covering practical issues. Druidry is a beautiful, multifaceted, nondogmatic spirituality. Every aspect of Druidry can be supported with meditative work.Meditation is not Druidry and Druidry is not meditation, but the two combine to inspiring effect. Many Pagans question, all the time, how we can make our spirituality an intrinsic part of our lives. This meditative approach to Druidry is one answer to that question. Through greater self awareness, with deep contemplation, spiritual openness and conscious nurturing of creativity, we can explore and express our Paganism in ever more rewarding ways.

Ancestors are part of our shared humanity, we all have them. Ancestry in the guise of race, has been used as a tool to divide. Even so, it might yet help us move in greater harmony. Are we playing out the motifs of our family history, or making our own lives? Are we held back by the past, or empowered by it? And why does any of this matter? Druidry and the Ancestors will take you on a journey into how you imagine yourself, and how you can take control of your identity and future. Druid, author, bard and dreamer. Nimue Brown is OBOD trained, a founding member of Bards of The Lost Forest and Druid Network member.

Charlie Rowcroft meant to be an inventor but mostly she fixes other people's mistakes. Then her new neighbour, socialite archaeologist Justina Fairfax brings a curious find to see if she can reassemble it. After which the chaos begins in earnest, with mad industrialists using mortless (undead) people to power their factories, druids on a traction engine who wish to thwart them, a retired pirate who just wants a quiet life, a stilt-walking dissenting preacher, the arrival of a freak show and other improbable personages and events who emerge as the plot unravels.

Many people crave a spiritual life without wanting to belong to rigid religions with the almost unavoidable power structures and politics that involves. This book explores how to construct your own spiritual path, considering the implications of seeking a spiritual life without wanting organised religion to dominate it. As such it has applications for Pagans, atheists, agnostics, heretics from any mainstream faith, and seekers of all kinds.

When a Pagan prays, there are many uncertainties - who we pray to, what we pray for, and what might happen to us as a consequence. Not having the same structures as other religions, Pagans can't frame prayer in the same ways, and our experiences are likely to be wilder and more personal. This book is both a wide ranging exploration of what prayer means in different faith and cultures, and a personal journey into a spiritual practice.

What does it mean to live as a Pagan in this uncertain world of climate change, economic hardship and worldwide social injustice? What does it mean to hold nature as sacred when ravaging the land is commonplace? How do we live our Paganism in our families and homes, our communities and countries? Pagans are stepping up in all kinds of ways. This is a Moon Books community project, sharing the energy and inspiration of people who are making a difference at whatever level makes sense to them. This is a book of grass-roots energy, of walking your talk and the tales of people who are, by a vast array of means, engaged with being the change they wish to see in the world.

Changing your life requires effort. Often, that effort brings its own benefits and you can end up improving your quality of life by making better choices. Beyond Sustainability - Authentic Living at a Time of Climate Crisis is an extended discussion about individuality and choice and how, to thrive as individuals and a society, we must seek to move beyond the notion of sustainability.

Welcome to Hopeless, Maine. Meet Salamandra, an ordinary orphan girl, just one of many other orphans on the island (come to think of it, where did all the grown ups go?). Sal faces the normal, everyday struggles of being a teenager- avoiding fell creatures of the night, trying not to get eaten by the aquatic fauna and finding something to do on a Saturday night. Tom and Nimue Brown's award winning dark fantasy will be published in its entirety by Sloth Comics. Comprising the first two volumes, this comic is a must for every fantasy fan's bookshelf.

Welcome back to Hopeless, Maine, a haunted island lost in time and cut off from the rest of the world. While you were away, things have gone from a bit gloomy and dangerous to downright tense. There has been some sort of power struggle between factions of the underground population of the island (by which, I of course mean vampires). The hard-won pact between the above and below ground citizens has been broken, and the orphan problem now includes tiny homeless undead children with unusual appetites. There are cloaked figures who are clearly up to no good and people coming back from the dead. This is an unusual turn of events even for Hopeless, Maine. As always, Owen and Salamandra do their best to keep the living population alive and the undead population from growing. It is now clear that in order to do this, they must begin to understand the larger problem of the island and the Fog that keeps it hidden. 'In Hopeless, Maine the realms of dream and folklore meet, and tales take on a life of their own with every re-telling. There the Spoonwalkers and the Teaselheads and Gnii roam. Lose yourself in the gorgeous, Gothic world created by Tom and Nimue Brown.' - John Reppion
