The Corner Crone: A Prayer to Brigid for Protection and Health

Last updated on: March 17, 2020 at 5:00 pm   By Martha Kirby Capo

Like so many of us around our planet these days, Coronavirus consumes my attention and energy. I don't have much new to say, but I do want to offer a short prayer I crafted to Brigid for protection and health.

The Balancing Path: Including Queer and Genderqueer Fertility

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:46 am   By Sidney Eileen

Ostara through Beltane in pagan circles tends to include a deluge of fertility themes. This time of year also usually includes a dominating emphasis on male-female sexual pairing, especially cis binary sexual pairing, yet they are far from the only kind of pairing or fertility that exists. Read more

Irish-American Witchcraft: ‘Celtic’ Paganism and Ancestry

Last updated on: March 8, 2020 at 8:38 pm   By Morgan Daimler

Many people seek spirituality by looking to their own heritage and there is nothing wrong with that, but that heritage is not in any way a prerequisite to Celtic paganism. What makes you a Celtic pagan isn't who your great-grandmother was but how much you work to understand that culture and its Gods & spirits. Read more

The Corner Crone: Book Review – Witch’s Wheel of the Year

Last updated on: March 4, 2020 at 7:45 pm   By Martha Kirby Capo

The flexibility of this new resource book makes it a must-have as part of your witchy toolkit. Far from a dry recitation of the nuts and bolts of ritual writing, Witch’s Wheel of the Year is engagingly pragmatic with flashes of Mankey’s signature self-deprecating humor. Read more

The Balancing Path: (Not So) Arbitrary Symbolic Correspondences

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:47 am   By Sidney Eileen

There are a lot of symbolic associations in pagan and magical practice which are often taken for granted. One such association is directions and elements. Another is gender and elements. I mention these two in particular because they don’t make sense to a lot of modern practitioners, myself included. Read more
