Pagan Magic - Wicca & Witchcraft Shop

I came across this nifty pagan and wiccan website. Now I own an occult metaphysical shop and I have no problems with Promoting others in the business. This is not a paid offer. I felt the need to share this shop and website because lets face it we all can use some help in promoting our business. I am in the process of contacting the owner about doing some card swapping if anything it will help her out as she tries to gain a customer base.
She has everything organized and well thought out. I giver her two thumbs up for doing a great job! Her articles are thought out as well and informative to those who are learning the craft or just need to brush up on some info! Why not visit her and give her some visit support?!

Back Burnner Idea

I have been playing with the idea of starting a magazine. I havent given it much thought, its just something that sneaks out from time to time. So maybe blogging about it will help me forget about it. It would be a cross between several things Pagan/Wiccan Goths or alternative Life styles and Renaissance and Medieval stuff. Big range no focus on it. But their are already so many magazines out their about Goths, Alternative Lifestyles, Medieval, Renaissance and pagan and wiccan. So if I were to do one what would be in it? What would I like seen done to it? These are only a few things I havent thought about. What about a staff? Would I need one? What about adds? How much should I sell them for? Printing would I do it in Black and White or color? These are just some of the gnawing things I need to figure out. But first things first I need to finish some of my other writing projects. Oh well as I said a back burner idea. And every name I think of I have googled for and apparently those names are taken. So its been tricky to come up with an Original Name.

Author Lisa Logan

Lisa took a few minuets to answer one of my questions for her.

Q: What is it like when you finally finish a book?

A: To answer your question, finishing a book is an amazing sense of accomplishment, though I find an even bigger thrill comes during those times that the writing is flowing and going well, or when my characters do something shocking (and better than what I had planned). With that comes a true writer's high--that and acceptance letters from publishers, of course! Admittedly, when I finish a book there is a bit of reluctance to leave characters and settings that I've gotten to know during the course of writing--they become like comfortable friends. Of course, then there is the revision (and re-revision) process, so I do get to visit with these "friends" again.

Q: What Current books are you working on?

A: Current books I'm working on:

I recently completed IMMORAL MAGIC, a paranormal romance that is part 1 of a witch/vampire trilogy. Dream is a lonely young witch who decides to cast a love spell. Grant is the new hunk in town, a farmer with big dreams and simple beliefs. When he falls victim to magical seduction, he does his best to cast aside feelings he attributes to nothing more than her deceitful conjure. When darkness in the form of a virile, scheming vampire comes to claim the witch as his own, Grant has to decide once and for all whether he can turn his back on the greatest magic on Earth...love.

I'm currently writing THE WICCANING, a romance I'm very excited about। Justine, a "good' Christian girl, falls into sin with an intriguingly sensual man during a moment of lonely weakness. To her shock she discovers Rion is a witch; worse, not long after she sends him packing she learns that she is pregnant--against doctor's advice. Fearing the punishment for her sin will be yet another in a string of miscarriages that ended her marriage, Justine discovers a curse may be responsible. When her own flagging, yet firmly entrenched beliefs fail to offer a way out, she decides that the only way to fight fire with fire is to become the last thing a "good" Christian girl ever dared imagine.

Q: What advice do you have for young writers out there (or young at heart)?

A: There's a common adage that says, "Write what you know." I disagree. I say, "Write what you love" or "Write what inspires." Do take time to learn the craft if you're planning to get published, but don't be afraid to take chances on something unconventional if you're truly passionate about it. For in my definition, a successful writer is not necessarily someone who makes the bestseller list, but rather someone who enjoys the thrill of each journey they take through their stories--whether they get published or not.

Lisa is also the editor of Minute Mystery, a free quarterly flash fiction ezine , and is the founder of The Green Writing Challenge, I signed up have you?

Social Networks

For todays online world we use the social networking sites. They are wonderful places to meet people, hold discussions and design a profile page. These places allow people to connect with each other from the ease of our homes. These places allow us to keep blogs, send heartful messages to others. Some Social Networks Pay people to use their sites. One such place is Rotatrix Friends Network or as the users call it RFN. You meet other people trying to make some extra money from home. They talk about what programs are good to be in. You make friends, and do the same things you can at MySpace. The difference is RFN pays you to use their sight.
Other wonderful Places to use are Pagan Space and TheCUPWA. These networks are set up for the occult and metaphysical world. Those who believe in other spirituality paths. Their are wonderful people at all these places and great opportunity to get your self heard. If you haven't started to use these places to help your business or personal growth you should try it. A good trial time is about a month or two. If you haven't seen any success or haven't meet any intreasting people then its your choice to leave.
