Beltaine Update


Dear Friends: 
In the coming year I’ll be attending the following gatherings to teach:
·         Heartland Pagan Festival 24 - 28 May 2012.
·         Southern Delta Church of Wicca event 10 – 13 May 2012 in Shelby Park, Millington, Tennessee.
·         PPD in Augusta, Georgia, in October 2012 (still to be confirmed).
·         Hamilton, Ontario, Pagan Pride Day 15 September 2012.

I’ve just posted pictures of our Order’s Armoring ritual from last year’s Vancouver Pagan Pride on my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151563882065117.841484.760800116&type=3


The first two books (Dark Water and Dark Fire) of my Dark Man paranormal romance trilogy are out both as e books (Smashwords.com) and print on demand books (Amazon Createspace): I’ve written them under the pseudonym Carrie Bryce. I’m about 49,000 words into the third book which I hope will be out this summer. You can check it out at my Carrie Bryce blog. Once that’s done I’ll turn my attention to finishing the second book of my Purification Trilogy, a sword and sorcery trilogy which I’ve written under my mundane name, C. A. Ennis. The first book is Fionúir’s Mural and the second will be Eluned’s Apprentice. You can check it out at my C. A. Ennis Fantasy Blog.

The first print run of my book Pagan Religions: A Manual for Diversity Training, the updated version of my original book The Law Enforcement Guide to Wicca, has sold out and the publisher has announced a reprint. It is available for sale at: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Pagan-Religions-Manual-Diversity-Training-Kerr-Cuhulain/9780971005068-item.html?cookieCheck=1

I’ve released a book of self empowerment which grew out of the daily affirmations that I post on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+: How To Be Glorious: Day By Day Empowerment . This book is the next step in the the cycle begun with my earlier Llewellyn books on Warrior philosophy, Wiccan Warrior, Full Contact Magick, Magickal Self Defense, and Modern Knighthood. It’s about taking charge of your life instead of letting your life take charge of you. It’s available as an e book from Smashwords and as a print on demand book from Amazon.com.

My book Modern Knighthood: Unleashing Your Inner Power to Master Yourself and the World has been out on Smashwords.com since December as an e book, but now it is out as a print on demand book at Amazon.com. 
I’m on Pinterest now if you’d like to check out what I’m following.
If you’re into cooking, check out my recipe blog now too: Cauldron and Chalice.  
Check out the Order of Scathach’s YouTube channel for our training videos and monthly affirmations. All of the lessons of the Order of Scathach’s training cycle have been uploaded as mini video lessons now. I’ve also been posting monthly inspirational videos. 
And finally, our youth group, Scathách Kids, is now fully operational. Please check it out at: http://scathachkids.wordpress.com/ 
Hope you have a wonderful Beltaine.

Sunday Giveaway Dark Man Trilogy

To celebrate the launch of the Dark Man Trilogy, I’m starting a Sunday giveaway. Each Sunday for the next few weeks I’m going to post three questions for people to answer. First three people to post the correct answers will get free Dark Man e books. You can find the answers in the first chapter of the book, which is in a post on my Carrie Bryce blog on Wordpress. If you don’t make the first three this week, don’t despair: I’ll be posting questions every Sunday for the next several weeks so you’ll have another chance.
In the first book of the Dark Man trilogy, three women come together to solve a 300 year old prophecy that threatens their future happiness:
“Daughters of blood.
Kin of heart.
Cursed by prince.
One of fire.
One of wind.
One of sea.
Cursed be their tree.
Challenge the curse.
Bane of art.
Kin of spirit.
Son of Earth.
Break the bane,
Set them free,
Once there are three.”
For centuries their family has waited for the right conditions to occur to finally confront the Dark Man and end his haunting. Each must find the right partner to make the prophecy come true, but the Dark Man will do everything in his power to prevent this. They must defeat him, or their ancestors will suffer his curse.
So here are this week’s questions:
In what town do the three female characters of this trilogy get together to learn how to deal with the Dark Man?
What kind of boots does Kat wear?
What's the name of Lizzie's husband?
Dark Water

Yule Greetings

Dear Friends: 

I tried to send out Sabbat greetings as I've been doing foryears using my Telus e mail account, but for the last two months it hasn'tallowed me to do this. I keep getting messages telling me "too many recipientsper hour." After working fine for years, now Telus tech support is telling methat even though nothing has changed in their system, I can now only send mailto 10 people at a time. So I'm posting my Yule greetings here. 
We've got a new steel roof going on to replace the old asphaltshingles. The workmen have been up there banging around for a week now.  
My old friend and fellow author Dr. Shelley Rabinovitch, whoteaches at the university of Ottawa, was here for our Yule ritual last night.Actually there were two Yules: One was a relatively standard Yule whichincluded a Wiccaning for the many children that arrived in the lives of knightsof the Order this past year, and the other was a ritual focussing on theMicrocosm: Awakening the Light Within. You can check them out on the ritualspage at the Order of Scáthach training blog: http://dunscathach.wordpress.com/rituals/ 
In the coming year I'll be attending the followinggatherings to teach:
·        Heartland Pagan Festival in May 2012.
·        Southern Delta Church of Wicca event 10 – 13 May2012 in Shelby Park, Millington, Tenessee.
·        PPD in Augusta, Georgia, in October 2012 (stillto be confirmed).
 This has been a very productive writing year for me: 
The first print run of my book Pagan Religions: A Manual for Diversity Training, the updatedversion of my original book The LawEnforcement Guide to Wicca, hassold out and the publisher has announced a reprint. It is available for saleat: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Pagan-Religions-Manual-Diversity-Training-Kerr-Cuhulain/9780971005068-item.html?cookieCheck=1 
I've just released a new book of self empowerment: How To Be Glorious: Day By Day Empowerment . This book is thenext step in the the cycle begun with my earlier Llewellyn books on Warriorphilosophy, Wiccan Warrior, Full Contact Magick, Magickal Self Defense, and Modern Knighthood. The tremendousinterest in the daily affirmations that I post on Twitter, Facebook, Google+,got me thinking about a book for the general public on self empowerment andpersonal power and How to be Gloriousis the result. It's about taking charge of your life instead of letting yourlife take charge of you. It's available as an e book from Smashwords and as aprint on demand book from Amazon.com.
My new book Modern Knighthood: Unleashing Your Inner Power to Master Yourself andthe World has been out on Smashwords.com since December as an e book,but now it is out as a print on demand book at Amazon.com. 
The other book, which is published under my mundane name,Charles Ennis, is AncientRecipes for Modern Kitchens. This is a collection of ancient recipesadapted for the modern kitchen, organized into the 8 Sabbat seasons and presentedwith a brief description of their history. The oldest recipe in there is over6,000 years old. If you're looking for recipes for your Esbat or Sabbat, thisis the book for you. This is a Smashwords e book and a print on demand bookfrom Amazon. 
And on the subject of cooking, I've got a new recipe blognow too: Cauldron andChalice.

Unitarian Services and Interfaith Councils

On November 6 the Order of Scathach conducted the service for the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation in Surrey. It was very well received. We were subsequently invited to participate in the formation of a Surrey Interfaith Council at a meeting at the Surrey Central Library on November 16. I attended with Lady Janus and it was a very productive meeting.
