A History of the Craft in America: California and Councils, VII: A Church for Witches

Last updated on: March 15, 2013 at 11:50 am By Aidan Kelly

After the second Pagan Ecumenical Council meeting in June 1974, Gwydion and I continued to discuss the problem of how to organize a “church” for Witches, now that we had a reason not to have to include Pagans in general. In a way, it was like trying to set up an organization for anarchists—so that one could be the Anarch. There were already organizations whose members were individual Witches, but these were not meeting the need. Most Witches at that... Read more

Last updated on: March 10, 2013 at 8:10 am By Aidan Kelly

No one can be absolutely objective about religion, because every person must have a set of values that enable one to make life decisions. Those values always serve as the equivalent of a religion, no matter what they are called. Read more

The Man Who Falls in Love with Goddesses

Last updated on: March 9, 2013 at 12:45 pm By Aidan Kelly

He never wants to fall in love; it's just / That every once in a while She walks / Into his life, grows wings, bursts / Into flame, and then he knows / It's Her, and he must love / As long as She decides to stay, / Whether a year, or just today. Read more

Last updated on: March 8, 2013 at 6:02 am By Aidan Kelly

As I mentioned, many important changes took place in 1973 within at least half a dozen different Traditions. I’m starting with events in California in the mid-1970s, not because they were the only developments at that time, but they turned out to have national implications. Read more

On the Nature of the Gods

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 6:34 am By Aidan Kelly

The passion of the Gods is not a calm and boring bliss. It is a sensual riot. The Gods do not dwell elsewhere, in the sky, in another, nonphysical universe, at some other time or place. They are always here among us, in the only universe there is. Read more
