Review: All Acts of Love and Pleasure

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 7:10 pm By Mat Auryn

Yvonne Aburrow’s All Acts of Love and Pleasure: Inclusive Wicca is a greatly needed book for any group. Though the book is written for Wicca by a Gardnerian Wiccan, the book is important for any group of witches that work together. Written with covens and groups in mind, the book addresses many changes regarding diversity within the modern Craft. Aburrow asserts that Wicca should be inclusive regardless of gender, sexuality, and mobility. She writes that “Different people have different experiences,... Read more

Review: Encyclopedia of Spirits

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 7:10 pm By Mat Auryn

Encyclopedia of Spirits: The Ultimate Guide to the Magic of Fairies, Genies, Demons, Ghosts, Gods & Goddesses by Judika Illes is one of my most used reference books, both for writing research and for my own magickal practice. Illes presents a very comprehensive range of different spirits as the subtitle of the book suggests. This isn’t just a reference book though, the first 110 pages are her discussing spirits and how to work with them. These topics include but are not limited... Read more

The Craft, The Devil, Familiar Spirits, and Validation

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 8:05 pm By Mat Auryn

I recently had the pleasure to be interviewed by Christopher Orapello and Tara Love-Maguire on their podcast Down At The Crossroads. They invited me onto their show after I had interviewed them for Patheos. This is one of my favorite interviews I've had and I could have talked to them for hours longer. We cover a lot of things in this episode. We talk about how I found the Craft, the devil, initiation, validation, cursing, witchcraft as an orientation, and the direction that witchcraft seems to be heading Read more
