It&#8217;s not a complete list. But it&#8217;s a start.<br \/>\nThe first is called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newmoonjournal.com\/nmjournal.htm\" target=\"_new\">New Moon Journal <\/a>and it is written by Michele Bailey-Lessirard, a life coach, collage artist, and &#8220;shamanic astrologer.&#8221; On the opening page of her site, you&#8217;ll find a little slide show of her amazing, healing artwork (which she encourages you to do alongside her). As a longtime lover of the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/collagemuseum.com\/international-collage-exchange\/bd8-waite-3-a.jpg\" target=\"_new\">Joseph Cornell<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.ntlworld.com\/davepalmer\/cutandpaste\/schwitters.html\" target=\"_new\">Kurt Schwitters, <\/a> I too believe that arranging collage images on paper is &#8220;spirit&#8221; work. Intuition reigns supreme as you connect with what feels aligned and right, and you&#8217;ll learn ways to connect with your shadow, as well as your most divine self. So visit Michele, &#8220;a student of symbols and feminine mysteries,&#8221; try some collage work, and start following the moon as closely as she does. <a href=\"http:\/\/newmoonjournal.com\/\" target=\"_new\">Her blog <\/a>is excellent.<br \/>\nAnother &#8220;symbolist&#8221; and student of calendars is the ever-fruitful, gorgeous font of wisdom <a href=\"http:\/\/schooloftheseasons.com\/about.html\" target=\"_new\"> Waverly Fitzgerald<\/a>, creator of <a href=\"http:\/\/schooloftheseasons.com\/\" target=\"_new\">SchooloftheSeasons.com<\/a>. Unique is the right word. I feel I couldn&#8217;t have written this blog without her. Visit her site to strengthen your connection to religious\/spiritual holidays and the organizing principal of ritual. Waverly also blogs about flowers. And passion. And love.<br \/>\nThen there&#8217;s Caroline Casey&#8217;s site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coyotenetworknews.net\/\" target=\"_new\">The Coyote News Network<\/a>. Man, watch out! As we edge into a political year, it will be impossible for Caroline not to froth! She&#8217;s a divinely-connected female John Stewart&#8211;she&#8217;s also the beloved sister of novelist John Casey, a writer I knew at the University of Virginia.  Caroline, who I met through my pal <a href=\"http:\/\/karmicrelief.com\/\" target=\"_new\">Shelley Ackerman<\/a>, has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coyotenetworknews.com\/productcart\/pc\/radioshow.htm\" target=\"_new\">&#8220;Visionary Activist&#8221; radio show<\/a> that&#8217;s unlike anything else you&#8217;ll hear. Fun, passionate, fired-up! I think you&#8217;ll want to check in with her periodically.<br \/>\nThanks to all the people in the last two years who have given me courage and support: my husband, Beliefnet.com co-founder, Steven Waldman, my kids, my sister Kathryn Janus, my loving dad and my precious in-laws, my editor Valerie Reiss, the whole Beliefnet.com edit staff, Frances and Chris Stahnke, Domenick Masiello, Nell Minow, Laura Stanley, Myra Klockenbrink, Cristy West, Kathleen Currie, Lisa Schamess, Marianne Szegedy-Maszak, Teresa Riordan, Sheila Kaplan, Art Levine, Laurie Sue Brockway, Vic Fuhrman, Lama Surya Das, Elizabeth Lesser, Jim Kullander, and all you readers.<br \/>\nAgain, send your email addresses to me at ChatteringMind@beliefnetstaff.com, and I&#8217;ll find you again! (Remember that great scene where Daniel Day-Lewis screams &#8220;Stay alive! Do whatever you have to do to stay alive. I&#8217;LL FIND YOU&#8221; as he leaves his new girlfriend and jumps down a cliff in &#8220;The Last of the Mohicans&#8221;?) Continue to read Beliefnet.com. It is not a Christian site, by the way. I guess it&#8217;s just that the Christians are noisier. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/index\/index_200.html\" target=\"_new\">Holistic Spirituality page<\/a> of the site remains an excellent meeting place, and is always a good place to find articles.<br \/>\nOnwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some blogs and websites I like.
