Yeah, Justdotdotdot (New Bedlam’s own PR person) convinced me we had to get New Bedlam on Twitter.
So, we did, and now we’re going to do some contests for followers of @newbedlam. The first contest ends May 30th, the second June 15th and the last July 1st.

The girls and I picked up the supplies for the chapbooks yesterday, along with the first printings of the covers for Litha and Lughnasadh. They look great! I can’t wait to get started…
Each chapbook will have Sabbat information, sample ritual, activity suggestions for kids, sample menu with recipes, crafts, youth-centered fiction and paper activities (coloring, picture search, etc.).
