Irish-American Witchcraft: Witchcraft with Fairies; Walking the Wild Woods

Last updated on: November 6, 2018 at 5:15 pm By Morgan Daimler

There is a long history of witches working with fairies in various ways, both learning from them and being in service to them. In modern paganism we more often see this relationship played out very differently, with the Good Folk being approached from a more ceremonial magic perspective or treated as a kind of spirit guide or ally.

Pan-Celtic Hoofbeats: Finding Your Patron Deity

Last updated on: November 1, 2018 at 5:22 pm By Kris Hughes

Getting into a relationship with a deity is a bit like getting into a relationship with a human. There may be parent figures, pals, people you bump into occasionally, and significant others. There may be some you enjoy seeing at that one yearly event you both always go to, and others who are your best friend for life. Read more

Spooky in the South: Morality, Divine Ethical Code or Social Construct?

Last updated on: October 25, 2018 at 3:23 pm By Sarah Franklin

Many would say morality is a set of rules dictated by a deity or deities that have divine meaning, and people are meant to obey the rules. Others might say that it is simply an innate sense to do what is right to our fellow people. But there is still the unanswered question of where and why our morality originated? Read more

21st Century Viking: That’s Winternacht to You

Last updated on: October 24, 2018 at 3:48 pm By Kate Andary

For the Ancient Vikings this was a time to celebrate, this was the beginning of winter. The home was being completely prepared for the long months ahead with very little day and very long nights. Celebrate with those you love for those who were there before you. For most pagans they think of Samhain as such a somber and dark time, I could never figure out why. Read more

Pan-Celtic Hoofbeats: Horses of the Dark Time

Last updated on: October 23, 2018 at 6:10 pm By Kris Hughes

Whether the person under the cloak is a devout Pagan trying to honour a horse goddess, or just someone why enjoys taking part in mumming traditions, isn’t the main point. I see the Great Mare in the snapping jaws of the horse, and the tingle everyone gets when the horse makes an appearance, and feel that in some way She has honoured us with Her presence, regardless of the intent.

Between Two Worlds: Samhain, My Sister and Hekate

Last updated on: October 19, 2018 at 4:50 am By Brianne Raven Wolf

I have never been a big fan of Samhain and the honoring of the ancestors. Coming from a very dysfunctional family, I never had the intention of honoring my dead relatives. Why would I honor and remember those who have caused me so much pain? But I recently had a change of heart. Read more

The Corner Crone: When the Final Harvest Cuts

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 11:55 pm By Martha Kirby Capo

I’ve thought of Samhain in blurred watercolor hues of burnished russets and inscrutably dark purples, blinding yellows and hyper-saturated reds. But not this year. This year the scythes of the Final Harvest are cutting far too close. Read more
