Hello Patheos Pagan! We are Modern Witch and we are here to infiltrate your feeds! You might know us from our podcast, magazine, or maybe even from festivals and conferences around the country. You also might know us from our short-lived (like 9 months) stent over at Pagan Square. In the past, Modern Witch has mostly been the product of author and creator Devin Hunter, whose mission has been to explore the diverse and deeply personal approaches found within contemporary occultism. From “Pagan Pop-culture for the modern witch” to “Witchcraft, the Occult, and Mysticism in the Twenty-First century,” Modern Witch has been a loyal companion for those exploring magic(k) all over the globe for almost ten years.

After a decade however, we knew it was time to bring additional voices onto the team and so we reached out to some truly talented folks to help us take Modern Witch to the next level. We would like to take the time with this first post to introduce you to the amazing writers who will are behind the pieces you will be seeing from us.
