The Key is Devotion: Polytheism and Polyamory

Last updated on: August 5, 2015 at 8:05 am   By Sable Aradia

"Polytheism and Polyamory are a Natural Combination," wrote Melissa Hill in Agora a couple of weeks ago. I agree, but I think that in order to have a relationship, be it human or divine, one must also have devotion. As a polyamorous and polytheistic person, I believe that sometimes this is left out of the narrative, and I don't think it should be. Read more

The Magical Battle of Britain

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:43 am   By Sable Aradia

It's a strange footnote of history. Germany never invaded Britain. Dion Fortune organized an extraordinary act of magick to stop the Nazis from touching British soil. Was this the reason? And how can this benefit us today? (Reposted from Gods & Radicals). Read more

Witches Don’t Whine: A New Exegesis of the Wiccan Rede

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:40 am   By Sable Aradia

Is it actually possible to "harm none?" Ultimately it seems to me that the true meaning of the Rede is this: "Nothing is forbidden; but everything has a consequence." Read more

Seekers and Guides: The Purpose of Your Altar Pentacle

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:39 am   By Sable Aradia

Books for solitary practitioners usually name the pentacle as one of the traditional witch's tools, but don't do a very good job of explaining why you would use it or what to do with it. It's time to fix that. Read more

Seekers and Guides: The Charge of the Goddess – A Wiccan Ethic

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:38 am   By Sable Aradia

In modern Wicca, we don’t have a lot of commandments, and creedal statements that we are all pledged to believe. But that doesn't mean that we don't have theology and ethics - just that we express them in less obvious ways. In fact, there are many unspoken beliefs that we think of as being essentially "Wiccan." Where do they come from? The answer is the Charge of the Goddess. Read more

The Many Faces of Wiccan Divinity

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:35 am   By Sable Aradia

Wiccan theology is actually very complex. It is perfectly valid to interpret Wicca as duotheism, deism, polytheism, animism, shamanism, pantheism, panentheism, monotheism, agnosticism or atheism; and I know Wiccans who hold all of these views, often at the same time. Read more
