Pagans: The Wheel of the Sacred Year
Paganism in its many varieties is one of the fastest growing religious and cultural movements of modern America. Who are the Pagans? What are they like? What does it mean to be a Pagan? What do Pagans believe, and how do they actually practice their faith? This program provides a fascinating, highly personal look at several groups of Pagans living in New England at the close of the 20th century. A number of different Pagan traditions are represented in the program, including elements of Druidic, Wiccan, Scandinavian, Shamanic and Native American ritual. Expertly guided by Ellen Evert Hopman, a Druid Priestess, herbalist, and author of Being a Pagan, this program records the major eremonies of the Pagan sacred year: Winter Solstice (Yule), Imbolc, Vernal Equinox, May Day (Beltaine), Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox, Lughnassad (Lammas), and Halloween (Samhain).

Pagans contains images beautifully captured by videographer James MacAllister,and a haunting original musical score written, performed, and arranged by Paddy Keenan (one of the founders of the Bothy Band).

Gifts from the Healing Earth, Volume 2
A Field Guide to Herbalism and energy work for nurses with Ellen Evert Hopman, Master Herbalist

Shot and edited by Jim MacAllister
Ellen Hopman leads a group of holistic nurses on an herbal walk and a discussion of the medicinal uses of various species they find growing along a New England path that winds through field and forest: elderberry, jewel weed, plantain, staghorn sumac, sweet fern, choke cherry, pine, oak, milkweed, yarrow, wild carrot, black berry, raspberry and red clover.
She also teaches the nurses how to identify poison ivy and poison hemlock and prepares a poison ivy remedy.
The walk includes information on the ancient Doctrine of Signatures , Chinese Five Element Theory and many recipes for traditional herbal remedies, including salves, poultices, tinctures and tonics. Interwoven with the herbal walk is a discussion group in which Ellen and the nurses explore "energy work", such as guided imagery, Therapeutic Touch, and Reiki, and how these alternate or complementary techniques along with herbalism are making inroads into the practice of health care around the world.
Healing Touch and Reiki are demonstrated with several patients. Whenever possible, information is given to viewers on where they can find out more about the subjects introduced. The nurses feel that these offer the patient complementary forms of caring the augment allopathic care and provide healing as something separate and distinct from curing.

With nurses: Joanne Caloon, RN, Denise Conboy, RN, Jody Fishkind, RN, HNC; Donna Fleming, RN,. Deborah Gingras, MS, RN,CNS, Music by Christopher LaFond on the Celtic harp
