It's Shameless Promo Thursday, and up today is the self-help book I wrote because I dislike self-help books.

* For real people with little time and energy
* Do what you can, when you can
* Healing and wellness as a sacred journey, not a competition
* Plant partners, wellness rituals, natural healthcare
* You don't have to be Wiccan to use the book

It's Shameless Promo Thursday again!

Did you know that I've written a self-help book? I've long been skeptical of self-help books, so I wrote one that's a little different.

* Imperfect human beings experiencing healing as a sacred journey
* You don't have to be Wiccan, just open to Earth-oriented spirituality
* For real people with real problems and not as much time or energy as they'd like
* Realistic goals, practical activities - do what you can, when you can
* M/B/S journal, plant partners, wellness rituals, natural health resources

Do you have any book recommendations with agender (genderless) protagonists?

Yes, that's right, I am looking specifically for protagonists, not supporting characters.

🟢Novels/ short story collections, NOT comics or graphic novels
🟢Any genre is welcome, but I prefer adult protagonists instead of teens.
🟢I can read English or German
🟢It would be fantastic if the book is available as an e-book.
🟢 No robots/androids

New book release!
I have published a novella, about spirituality, modern paganism and the struggles and joys of being queer:
🔥
The young lesbian woman Vera leaves a conservative Christian cult, starting a new life in Hamburg. There she must find a place to live and a job. But Vera has an additional problem: in her dreams, a mysterious person appears who finally reveals to be the Norse deity Loki. Vera mistrusts this deity – is this some kind of demon? In Hamburg, Vera gets to know more queer people and also a Norse pagan …

Why did I write this novella?
Several times, I heard stories about people who left a conservative or fundamentalist Christian cult or congregation and later went on a pagan path. But I do not know any fiction books which deal with this topic, so I decided to write such a story myself. This …

The book cover shows a fire and an illustration of two entangled snakes, which is based on "the snakes of Urnes"

In these pages you'll find the pantheon, rituals, symbols and practices of Ariadne's Tribe, an inclusive Minoan spiritual tradition.

With a pantheon headed by a triplicity of mother goddesses who embody the three sacred realms of land, sky, and sea, Minoan spirituality calls us to remember a time when women were valued as equals to men, when the Great Mothers took care of *all* their children (all means *all*), and when the sacred touched every person every day of their lives.

Minoan spirituality is so relevant to our times, when we’re doing our best to move forward and away from inequality and oppression.
