Last updated on: May 8, 2017 at 5:39 pm By Elinor Prędota

The ordinary, everyday occult knowledge of herbs, flowers and beasts

Last updated on: May 8, 2017 at 5:39 pm By Elinor Prędota

Like many other Pagans, I seek occult knowledge and personal gnosis in formal ways, through practices such as ritual and the reading of Tarot cards. But they also find me when I'm not looking for them, often in relation to the more-than-human inhabitants with whom I share this landscape, and through conversations and interactions with friends.

A Weapons Problem

Last updated on: July 23, 2013 at 9:27 pm By Sterling

The kinds of knives that I enjoy tossing in my backpack for a weekend of camping or clipping to my front pocket for every day use are all illegal in Scotland. The fact that these tools are religious items probably won't protect me in court. Read more

Stories of Gods and mortals: myth and Pagan practice

Last updated on: May 8, 2017 at 5:39 pm By Elinor Prędota

The Gods of Pagan mythologies are involved not in an elaborate theology, but in an interweaving of tales of basic human-like needs, urges and relationships - sometimes mapped to land, weather and cultural practices. Read more

Last updated on: May 8, 2017 at 5:39 pm By Elinor Prędota
