I’m making use of the social network to help keep in touch with my Crossroads readers…

I now have a page on Facebook!

I will be using this page to post links to current and past posts here at Deaf Pagan Crossroads, and also to share some of my thoughts, news, information, etc. that might not make it into a post here at the blog.

My Facebook page will be a place for people to come and share some of their own thoughts, and to discuss relevant topics about what it means to be Deaf or to be Pagan or to be a combination of both.

So feel free to hop on over to Facebook and “like” my new Facebook page, which you can find here:

A Child’s Look At the Summer Solstice

Posted in Archives #4 Pagan Thoughts and Writings, Art & Literature, Earth Day, Healing, Irish/Celtic, Magick, Nature, Pagan Blogs, Paganism, Sabbats, Spirituality, Video Posts, witchcraft, Women's Spirituality on Tuesday June 21 2011 | Leave a Comment »

This post contains a video about a children’s book. Scroll down to watch the video, which is accessible for deaf and hard of hearing Friends of the Crossroads. Enjoy, and have a wonderful Summer Solstice!

In a prior post, I introduced my readers to Pagan author Edain Duguay, who has written a number of children’s books focusing on the celebration of the Sabbats. So far she has completed five books, and is working on the final three in the series of eight books (one for each of the Sabbats), known as “The Witchlets of Witches Brew.”

Not only has Edain written the books, she has also created trailers to help introduce interested readers to this series. Currently there are four such trailers, and more will be made for the additional books (The fifth book just came out earlier this year and does not have a trailer for it yet).

One such book focuses on the Sabbat of Litha. It is entitled Ivy the Stubborn Witch and you can learn more about the book by watching the following video:

The Witchlets series are published as eBooks (electronic books) for reading on your computer or eBook device. For more information on purchasing Ivy the Stubborn Witch, check out the following link:

This might make a good book for the children in your life!

MEET OCEAN

Ocean is the creator & manager of this blog. Born deaf into an all-hearing family, she was raised oral and attended hearing schools. Ocean began learning sign language at the ripe old age of 16, and after meeting a Deaf man began her own journey through Deafhood. She graduated from Gallaudet College (now University), and has held positions both within & outside of the field of Deaf Services.

Ocean has been a practicing Pagan for 30 years, and considers herself "an eclectic witch," with a primary focus on Celtic Spirituality, but an interest in many different areas. A skilled tarot reader, she once donated her services to help raise funds for a Domestic Violence agency. She has also done workshops on aromatherapy, herbalism, & Paganism for the Deaf Community.

As a passionate advocate, Ocean often speaks out on the need for greater access for Deaf people (Pagan or otherwise) - interpreters, captioned videos, CART, etc...and works to build bridges between the Deaf & Hearing communities.

She lives not far from her hometown on the banks of the Ohio River with her two cats, Karma & Gandalf.

To contact Ocean,
you may email her at oshginva@gmail.com
MAKING CONNECTIONS

This sculpture shows the sign for "connect"...and that is what Deaf Pagan Crossroads is all about - making connections. Connections between Deafhood and Paganism, connections between the Deaf Community and the Hearing Community, connections between myself as the writer and you as the reader. I hope you will take the time to read my various posts, some of which are listed below. Welcome to the Crossroads, and I hope you make some connections here!
