Two things

[lupabitch.livejournal.com]

First thing--I checked with moonvoice, who said it was okay to post this. I am putting together an anthology regarding animal sacrifice in neopagan and other modern spiritual practices; the call for essays may be found here. While shamanism doesn't necessarily include animal sacrifice, I'm trying to collect a good selection of essays, both pro and con, since it's one of those topics that doesn't get talked about--but needs to be. (Also, I am still accepting essays for the animism anthology until Nov. 1)

Second, as I've been getting more into journeying, I've noticed there are some distinct differences between journeying and guided meditations, which I talk about more here. (The short version is that journeying is more intense, and I have a lot less control than I do in guided meditation.) Has anyone else noted significant differences between one and the other? Or do you consider them one and the same?
