Goddess Pages: Samhain Issue

Goddess Pages is now both a print and online journal. Some of the articles online are designated "premium articles," which means you pay to read them--through Paypal, which will convert your U.S. or other currency into the British currency listed on the e-journal site.

But there's still plenty of free material on Goddess Pages online and that's what I'll talk about here:

In "Glastonbury Goddess Conference 2007 - a review," Myfanwy Ashley writes of clans, ceremonies, grandmothers, virgins, talks, workshops, dancing, singing, yoga...
