GreenPaths: The Official Magazine of
The Avalonian
Catholic Church
Dragons' blazing paths we trod,
the straight and narrow ways,
embellished well by our God,
which mark the Myst'ry's maze.
This ornate embroidery
reveals the ancient story.
O blessed is this sphere:
The God of Hosts is here!
--from a hymn, Copyright 2001 Jon Ryner
The first issue (for Candlemas) is almost ready to be printed (as of January 12, 2002), and we should be running copies within a couple days. There are articles with material you won't find anywhere else, Christian spells, art and poetry.
