Pagan Experiences in Therapy

Last updated on: August 6, 2018 at 6:53 pm By Kelden

Based off my experiences working with these clients, and one of my own encounters with a therapist who was dismissive of my spiritual beliefs, I decided to conduct a survey on the Pagan Community’s experiences in therapy. Read more

The Stereotypes of Trad Craft

Last updated on: May 28, 2018 at 6:22 pm By Kelden

If there is one thing as timeless as Witchcraft, it’s the stereotypes that come along with it. One thing that I have found perpetually hilarious and simultaneously heinous are the caricatures of both Wiccans and Traditional Witches. Read more

5 Books Which Influenced My Craft as a Child

Last updated on: May 21, 2018 at 2:33 pm By Kelden

I have been practicing Witchcraft for the majority of my life, with my interest in Witches beginning roughly at the age of 5. It started with a mere fascination of fairytale characters and progressively grew into an intrinsic piece of psyche. Looking back on my childhood, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t identify as a Witch, or at least as having a connection to magic. Of course, along the way I was shaped and influenced by many factors... Read more

The Narcissistic Witch

Last updated on: April 26, 2018 at 10:13 pm By Kelden

Person A presents with a grandiose sense of self-importance. He exaggerates both his talents and achievements, as he is completely caught up in delusions about his level of success and power. None of which are backed by reality in which his efforts are mediocre at best. Any success or power he does have is a result of exploitative and manipulative behavior. He has no capacity to care for others and will readily use and dispose of people as he sees... Read more

Rethinking the Sabbats

Last updated on: April 26, 2018 at 4:48 pm By Kelden

The Sabbats are intended to celebrate the changing of the seasons. However, one thing that I’ve noticed over the years is just how impractical they are in terms of how they actually apply to one’s own landscape and our attempts to form a relationship with it. Read more

Paganicon 2018

Last updated on: March 22, 2018 at 1:27 pm By Kelden

This past weekend I attended Paganicon, a three-day-long Pagan conference here in Minnesota. This was my third year going and I honestly feel like I enjoy it more and more each time. I started off the weekend by attending an ecstatic dance workshop, which focused on the elements of fire and ice (which was the overall theme of Paganicon this year). I am a big fan of anything ecstatic and anything that involves dancing, so I was very excited. It... Read more

The Traditional Witches’ Deck

Last updated on: March 15, 2018 at 10:53 pm By Kelden

Last Spring, I was approached by my good friend Maggie of WitchandMoon and asked if I’d like to collaborate with her on an oracle deck. The proposed theme of this deck would be Traditional Witchcraft, with each card depicting a different concept taken from history and folklore. Being both a long time fan of Maggie’s artwork and incredibly intrigued by the idea of a Trad Craft oracle deck, I eagerly came aboard as the writer for this project. And now, almost... Read more
