Paganicon 2017

Last updated on: March 31, 2017 at 8:16 pm By Kelden

It’s been a few weeks now since I’ve returned from Paganicon, a weekend-long Pagan conference here in Minnesota. I’m just now getting around to writing about my experience, having been beaten to the punch by both Jason and Tempest. Blame school for my lack of writing time. Anyways, this was my second year attending the Con and I must admit that I had way more fun this year than I did the last. It’s no secret that I can be... Read more

Hedge-Crossing, Astral Projection, and Guided Meditation: Differences?

Last updated on: March 23, 2017 at 12:26 pm By Kelden

Hedge-Crossing is a practice that plays an essential role in my personal Craft and it’s something that I’m quite passionate about. I’ve written about previously on this blog, which you can check out here. Lately I’ve received a number of questions about Hedge-Crossing, specifically about how it differs from other practices such as astral projection or guided meditation. First, let me say that the answer to this question is going to be highly dependent one’s own personal definitions. For example,... Read more

The Banshee

Last updated on: March 8, 2017 at 2:05 pm By Kelden

As a child, I encountered many fantastical tales about the Faerie Folk. Whether they were presented in a book or in a film, these stories were an integral part of my childhood and my development as a Pagan and Witch. There has never been a time during my years that I haven’t wholeheartedly believed in the reality of their existence. I feel a deep reverence and connection to the Faeries as they have always been some of my primary allies,... Read more

Everyday Magic: Witchcraft for Busy Lives

Last updated on: February 7, 2017 at 2:02 pm By Kelden

Winter break is officially over, and I can honestly say that this is the first time I’ve actually dreaded going back to school. Last semester was so chaotic and by the end of it I was so completely exhausted from constantly trying to keep my head above the surface. This semester is going to be even more intense and my anxiety is already high with the mass amount of readings, papers, and projects on hanging over my head like a... Read more

Fake Witches

Last updated on: January 10, 2017 at 7:13 pm By Kelden

Last week I wrote an article about my personal practice and how it’s evolved over the years. In that article I made a point that: “At the end of the day, it’s all just Witchcraft and the only thing that matters is that you’re happy and can get results. If all you’re doing is bitching about how someone else is practicing and trying to dictate what is “real Witchcraft,” chances are you aren’t spending too much time actually practicing your...

But Where’s the Athame?

Last updated on: January 5, 2017 at 12:57 pm By Kelden

For many people, 2016 was an eventful year, to say the least. So much has happened and changed on both internal and external levels. I’m not alone when I say that 2016 felt like a year of death, characterized by loss, grief, and letting go. However, it wasn’t all bad as much of what I lost or let go of was necessary for my growth. Throughout the year, a major goal of mine was to let the parts (both internal... Read more

Introduction to Familiar Spirits

Last updated on: November 11, 2016 at 6:42 pm By Kelden

In today’s modern Witchcraft, Familiars are often times thought of as being animal companions or pets. When asked if they have a Familiar, many Witches will often refer to their cat, dog, or other animal. Usually these pets have a predisposition towards Witchcraft, whether they’re always showing up at ritual time or just can’t seem to keep out of the Witchy supply cabinet. Yet, this seems to be a more modern conceptualization and I find that it presents a rather... Read more

He stood alone at midnight among the tall oak trees. All around him, the forest was alive with dancing shadows summoned forth from the fire blazing within a large cauldron. It was the night of Samhain and the atmosphere was pulsing with magic as the veil between worlds reached its thinnest. Read more
