About Sacred Hoop Magazine, the home of Shamanic Spirituality

About Sacred Hoop...
Each colourful issue of Sacred Hoop takes a down-to-earth approach to the ancient sacred traditions of the world, in ways that are relevant and practical for people today.

Sacred Hoop was founded in 1993 by Faith Nolton (Jan Morgan Wood) and Nicholas Breeze Wood, who have edited, produced and published Sacred Hoop ever since.

The magazine was originally established to meet the needs of the then re-emerging shamanic community, and continues to be a key forum for networking sacred traditions worldwide.
