Katie Gerrard, Author – Children of Earth Interviews

Last updated on: June 2, 2019 at 4:38 pm By Sorita d'Este

Katie Gerrard was among the first Priestesses I met on the London scene who was one of my peers, she is slightly younger than me and when we first met we were both among the much younger generation of High Priestesses in the Craft scene in London. It was in the early ’00s, both of us had already been exploring the Craft and other Pagan and Magical Traditions for a few years. Katie and I may have very different approaches... Read more

Children of Earth – Interviews

Last updated on: May 31, 2019 at 9:55 pm By Sorita d'Este

So, while discussing a particular point a friend of mine was trying to make about his perspectives on the Gods and Priesthood, I came up with the idea to interview 100 people whose work inspired me past, or present - and who are still alive today. I will call this series of interviews "Children of Earth." Read more

The Mists of Avalon

Last updated on: November 7, 2018 at 7:37 pm By Sorita d'Este

I didn’t know what else to name this entry – it had to be “Mists of Avalon” because that is exactly what I would like to share with you all today. This is not an article about the book with the same name in which a fictional account of the King Arthur story from the perspective of the women in it is recounted – that book has inspired generations of people to seek out the Goddess in the way it...

The Cyberbully in Paganism

Last updated on: November 4, 2018 at 10:51 pm By Sorita d'Este

A couple of days ago I wrote about Cyberbullying on my Facebook profile as the result of a few friends being targeted by an individual who has developed an obsession after being pulled up for aggressive debating within a particular community some months ago. Cue an article in my newsfeed from a pop-magazine discussing the hashtag #iwillnotbedeleted campaign starting on November 12th, which is a cyberbulling awareness campaign. Cyberbulling is real. I have experienced it, most of us have at... Read more

The Dead & The Goddess Hekate

Last updated on: October 29, 2018 at 6:27 pm By Sorita d'Este

In modern Pagan literature Hekate’s association with the restless dead is often emphasized, and with the season of Samhain (All Hallow’s; Halloween) upon us, I was inspired to share this extract from my 2017 book Circle for Hekate, Volume I (History & Mythology) with readers here – I hope that it will inspire you to explore this fascinating subject in more depth. The Dead “But either thou art frightened of a spectre beheld in sleep and hast joined the revel-rout of... Read more

Skylla: Daughter of Hekate?

Last updated on: October 23, 2018 at 9:13 pm By Sorita d'Este

A friend and I spent a couple of hours discussing the oceanic aspects of the Goddess Hekate recently. One of those things you do on a cold night with a fire, good tea and company, and one of the topics we touched on was Skylla – the mythical seamonster(ess) who was believed to live in the Messina Straits, the strip of ocean between mainland Italy and the island of Sicily. Skylla was also, on occasion, named as the daughter of... Read more

Buddhafield Festival 2018

Last updated on: July 22, 2019 at 1:28 am By Sorita d'Este

Buddhafield Festival is a unique and vibrant music and environment festival that takes place in the Blackdown Hills near Taunton (Somerset, UK) every year in July – usually the week before the school holidays start. It is a drug and alcohol-free festival, child-friendly (with a fabulous play area for kids) and a lot of fun. It is also entirely vegetarian/vegan. I have been going along since 2012, but some regulars have been attending since the festival started more than 20... Read more

Beltane & Hekate: Goddess of the Sacred Pole

Last updated on: June 16, 2019 at 10:20 pm By Sorita d'Este

The goddess Hekate is only rarely associated with the festival of Beltane celebrated by contemporary Pagans on the 1st of May. This festival draws together an incredible spectrum of folklore and mythology from all over Europe into a vibrant and colourful celebration of the coming of Summer and perhaps most obviously, the fertility of the land and all that lives upon it. In short, Beltane tends to be a fire festival celebration of sex and sexuality in its most pleasurable... Read more
