We’d like to introduce ourselves, as we will be the new Editors of Open Ways and the Website. We are going to be an online publication for at least the remainder of this year; with hopes to return to a printed publication thereafter. We’ve found an incredible publishing program that will bring Open Ways into a new dimension. Current and archived issues will continue to be available on the website www.ninehouses.org and through a “turn page” viewer at www.issuu.com/openways.
Our first issue will be Beltaine 2011.
Call to Contributors!!!
We’ve got exciting plans and we need your help! Contributors are a vital part of each Open Ways publication; please consider sharing your wisdom and experiences pertaining to the Sabbat. We plan on expanding the publication to include regular “columns” on various topics….please consider being a regular contributor. Here are some ideas for columns that we’d like to include:
Rituals; Folktales/Lore; Astrology; Food; Art/Crafts; Book Reviews; Movement/Dance; Gardening/Herbs
Poetry/Short Stories; Perspectives: Youth, Single Life, Family Life, Elders
We plan to expand the Community Directory & Community Events; there’s so much going on in our community and we want Open Ways to be “the source” for it all.
Call to Advertisers!!!
Consider advertising in Open Ways. Rates are very affordable and now that we are online, all ads are Full Color and can have live links to your website. Visit the website for more information about advertising.
