The last 24 hours has rendered some disappointing news but also some wonderful news.
Firstly, I received notification that an essay that I submitted from a proposed anthology, Crossing the River: An Anthology in Honor of Sacred Journeys had not been successful. Its rejection was not because it was badly written, in fact the editor of the anthology personally praised my "scholarly analyst" of a lesser known Mesopotamian sacred journey. It was rejected due to all the other submissions received being almost entirely poetic and fictional, thus causing a change in direction for the anthology.
Tonight I received notification that the first of four essays analysing the Goddesses who appear in the Welsh collection of myths known as The Mabinogion will be appearing in issue No.149 of The Cauldron (one of the better subscription only serious occult orientated magazines available).
