Daily Pagan News: Some Crystals And Their Uses →
thegeminiwitch:
Crystals are a big part of the craft. Every crystal produces an immense amount of energy. Some more than others. Many Wiccans use Crystals in their everyday life. I personally use Amethyst, Citrine, and Tigers Eye every day in different things.
Now let’s get into the…

from The Village Witch by Byron
In a culture dominated by the curious celebration of Christmas, the time between the Winter Solstice and 12/25 is an interesting place to be. We’re pretty much past our major celebrations—though some do a 12 days gig that ends…
The Winding Paths: The Problem with... →
aviewintoyourworld:
In an extension to my Perspective of Light and Dark post, where I used the White- Light method of shielding as an example, this is a post of why I think the (likely) most commonly used form of shielding can be quite problematic for the user, and other entities around them.
What is…
The Kitchen Witch: What is a Kitchen Witch? →
Kitchen witchery is a unique form of solitary witchcraft, which honours the mundane in life and finds sacredness in every day, simple acts. The kitchen witch finds pleasure and meaning in cooking especially, but also knows the secrets of making housework magical and turning the garden into…

pagannews:
Pagan Community Notes is a companion to my usual Pagan News of Note series, more focused on news originating from within the Pagan community. I want to reinforce the idea that what happens to and within our organizations, groups, and events is news, and news-worthy. My hope is that more…

pagannews:
Conservatives come in all shapes, sizes and colors. We come from every education and income level. We come from every sexual orientation and every faith. With that in mind, let me introduce myself. My name is Becky. I am a conservative and a Wiccan.
I think it is safe for me to assume that my…

pagannews:
On Vancouver Island, pagans are lighting cauldron fires and dancing through giant evergreen hoops to symbolize being reborn.
In Metro Vancouver, pagans are bowing to stag antlers, revering pentangles and burning cinnamon incense to mark Yule, which celebrates the “rebirth of the sun” at winter…
Daughters of Earth Wisdom →
sirenism:
Has quite a few pagan books for download. All of them are PDF format and a majority of them are quite large due to them being actual page scans of the books themselves. Some of the authors include:
Raymond Buckland
Scott Cunningham
Silver Ravenwolf
Patricia Telesco
Christopher Penczak
The Sabbat books (Beltane, Mabon, etc.)
There are some links that will show up as 404 unless...
Daily Pagan News: How Do We Include Kids in Ritual... →
pagannews:
Ask a group of ritual facilitators what their philosophy on children in ritual is, and at best you’ll get as many different opinions as there are people in the room. At worst, you will have pushed a hot button that operates an opener attached to a huge can of worms. This topic is near the top of…
The Living Wiccan: "The Greek Winds" →
dianaandpansson:
The Greek Winds are often mentioned in mythology, and are not unknown in magickal practices either. Here is a brief description of each of the Greek Winds.
Boreas - The God of the North Wind, often depicted as a bearded unkempt man, associated with winter.
Notus - The…

IT was the night before Thanksgiving, and the Witch Queen of New York was not stirring her brew or flying on her broom.
Well, she did have her broom, but she was using it to sweep up the Pagan Center of New York, her headquarters in the Bronx, on Webster Avenue and 189th Street near Fordham…

craftofthewitch:
So, my downstairs neighbor called me to let me know someone had tried to break into her apartment. I hate a thief… I really hate a thief. So, I think I’m going to put a sign on my door that reads:

PaganAndProud: Wiccan/Pagan Youth →
proudlypagan:
“After being a Wiccan Priest for nineteen years, I have noticed that there is an increase of young people coming into the Craft. In our Church we have many new people between the ages of 16 to 20. These kids are excited and looking for teachers. They like talking to me because I’m “the old man”;…

Social Issues with Art and Paganism
So in AP Art, our project is to create a piece commenting on a social issue of today/our lives. I choose to do Pagans in the Military. Specifically, those that have died for our country, yet, until 2006, were unable to get their symbol of faith on their tombstones. My painting will be a large piece with a gravestone in ANC, with the name of Mr. Abraham Kooiman and his Pentacle carved into the...
Daily Pagan News: Too much political correctness... →
There can be no doubt that all of us are very proud of the young men and women who wear the uniforms of our country. As I write this on the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we are reminded of the huge sacrifices these Americans have made on our behalf for 235 years. Our freedom…

proudlypagan:
“This is a problem I had at first, as did a close friend of mine who has dedicated herself to Wicca: It all seems so complicated at first… the stuff needed, the exact ways to do things, this and that, that and this… Sometimes you don’t have the exact materials for something, or feel like you’re going to mess up! Well, like the title says, do what feels right! Many things in...
