To bad it's only on Amazon (I'm on a Sony ereader and can only use epub) - it sounded interesting! But congrats on getting such a high rating! That's really good.
Emelie: Amazon allow you to download the Kindle app to any computer, so you can download all the free books that come up on Kindle.Also, there is a Facebook group called Pagan Ebooks for Free that lists books on a daily basis should anyone be interested.

Really! Didn't know that. Though, I don't like to read on my computer. Maybe I'll make an exception... Thanks for the tips, anyway!

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Good to know!
Thanks for the offer, that's kind! I must say that I'm not so good at writing reviews, IF I even write a review for a book it usually is just a sentence or two, and I don't know when I will be able to read it. But if you still would dare send me one - then yes, that would be interesting.
Free today for five days.
The Golden Web ~ Three Magic WomenAs a child, Ellie heard the spirits speak and possessed a mystical connection to the earth, and an instinctive feeling for its magic and that of the gods and goddesses of our ancestors. But a single act of bloodless sacrifice, performed by the dim light of the new moon, alienates her parents and alters the course of her life.
The Golden Web and Three Magic Women are together the story of Ellie’s long quest to find some unbroken thread of belief from ancient times, a people with whom she feels at one, and to come to terms with the consequences of the practice of the Art Magick and the implications of the Witches’ Law: An’ it harm none, Do what ye will.
Here's the Amazon link.

Oh drat! it is only free in the UK. Since I live in Sweden I can only download kindle content from the US. Silly of them.
Jeanette, I think it's just a delay due to the time difference - it'll probably be free tomorrow. :)
I released the first novel in my Gothic Fantasy series today! Yay!
The Taint: Sorrow's Child I've set up a coupon code at smashwords to celebrate, making the book free for one week--now, until May 25th. The code is: RU28R. The link is: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...
The blurb:
'Sorrow’s Child', the first novel in 'The Taint' series, is a dark fairytale steeped in myth and magic. In a richly gothic setting, 'Sorrow’s Child' is a coming of age story and a tale of betrayal and bloody revenge.
On the Isle of Muin, one of the thirteen scattered Meda Isles, Lilith, a young orphan and an indentured servant, is found guilty of witchcraft and is condemned to hang...
The prologue:
"She sat in darkness.
Lost within a realm of perpetual night and enveloped by grief.
Her long hair flowed over her slender shoulders, sweeping the ground, her wraith-like form trembling as she wept bitter tears. Trickling down her cheeks and onto the rocks below, they formed a spreading lake that crept across the cavern floor.
Reason had long since faded, leaving only an inner tarn of sorrow. Too soon. Too young. Too soon.
Immersed in her long lament, she paid no heed as her womb slowly swelled. The birth spasms struck her unawares, the cavern resonating with her cries, as she expelled her newborn infant from her cold womb and into the dark depths of her sorrow’s tears…"
Feel free to use the code and to pass it on!

Here's a one day only (June 13, 2012) free ebookPractical Qabalah Magick
Practical Qabalah Magick - Working the Magic of the Practical Qabalah and the Tree of Life in the Western Esoteric Tradition

I feel a little guilty that I nabbed a copy. I put it on our Facebook page too, hopefully a few people picked it up from there.
My (Pagan) fairy tales are going free on amazon at the moment. I think they will be free for a while though as they are matching the price on other sites. Here is the link if anyone is interested:
http://www.amazon.com/Fairy-Tales-for...
Fairy Tales for Freya
These are four, short, adult fairy tales, but the erotic elements are subtle.

Sharing it on our facebook page now, Marie. :) Gina.
It is interesting - very much a Pagan approach to the places and history mentioned. I read the first chapter last night - it's about Sussex where I am, the last county in England to become Christian or to give up witchcraft, depending on how you look at it.
Dear heathens, pagans and other. My two are free for the month of July at Smashwords (ebooks in EPUB, MOBI for Kindle and other formats). Historical fiction on the Mongols. I like to explore the religions of the times.
Amgalant One: The Old IdealTemujin comes into the world on the day the Mongols suffer a catastrophic defeat in battle. He isn't the hero type, but he has expectations to live up to, and he has a cause: freedom for his way of life, unity against China, where a nomad is an animal.
at Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Amgalant Two: Tribal BrawlsShamans flew outside the self in ecstasy. Other people found love, or causes. Temujin has had to choose between love and his cause. As Tchingis Khan, he chose the latter. To his amazement his oath-brother marches to war upon him.

Jaq wrote: "Interesting subject matter, have you studied the Mongol religions of the time extensively?"As much as possible to me, Jaq. I feel a shortage of adequate books out there, but isn't that always the way? (There's a few in French I'd bribe a translator for).
This one going free on amazon now: Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble

There are two really great pages on Facebook that list free and inexpensive pagan oriented ebooks.For free and 99cents or less look to:

I'm a publisher and an author, and I'd like to suggest that those of us who fit into either category offer a Smashwords free coupon on Mabon this year (Sept. 22, 2012). I'll make the coupons of Witchy books I publish and post the coupon numbers here.
Great idea, Cynthia. The only thing is that those of us whose books are listed with the Kindle Select programme can't sell on Smashwords or other sites. Not everyone is, of course...
The group book read for October, The Mark of a Druid is free for Kindle on Amazon at the moment.Here's the UK page.
Quick...!
And, for those that do like audio books, there is a free version available as a podcast from Podiobooks, read by the author.
I republished a short story in The Taint series, yesterday evening. This morning I noticed that amazon has made it go free. Here's the link in case anyone is interested:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JGHUNO
"A short story excerpt, set within the realm of the Meda Isles. Octavia, the Lady of Tinne, is seduced by a God, and bears Demigod twins..."

C-Cose or Ancestral, could you add the books Spider has added to the facebook page? :) Gina.
I posted a link to the page for Pagan ebooks for free instead, which has a long list of those available on a daily basis, including those listed by Spider above.
The Spirit of the Green Man for Kindle is free at the moment - it has good reviews too:)
Amazon UK
Amazon.com
Green Spirituality: Magic in the Midst of Life is free for Kindle at the moment. It's illustrated by Poppy Palin who created Waking the Wild Spirit Tarot: Discover the Magic in Nature With Stories of the Wild Spirit .Amazon UK link.
Amazon US link.
Just to say that I'm glad I downloaded this one, as Rosa Romani seems to have come closest to my own thoughts and beliefs (at least in the early chapters), and expresses her green spirituality in a clear and thoughtful way. It's no longer free though.
Hi I'm Leah and new to the forum. Free mobi copy of my book The Victor Way at http://www.thevictorway.com.
It's intended to be an introduction to ancient wisdom and the connection of all beings for people of all faiths.
my facebook blogs are http://www.facebook.com/thevictorway and http://www.facebook.com/leahcolelive
and I also have a text blog at http://www.notesonlove.com
Amazon made Sorrow's Child, free sometime today. (I suspect it was this afternoon). I've had 330 downloads since then (and counting) and it's No 36 in the top 100 kindle, fantasy free titles. I know this is due to the fact that it is free, not a reflection on whether it's good or not--but hey, any excuse to feel good, gratefully accepted!
Anyway, it's a witchy book, steeped in myth. My lovely, troubled Lilith, makes her debut in this, my first novel. It is her 'backstory', before, or as, she becomes the kick ass woman she is destined to be. With a name like Lilith, she can't avoid it.
