Witch Rock 2: Demonic Boogaloo

Last updated on: May 2, 2019 at 12:26 pm By Jason Mankey

Witch Rock: Occult-laced low-fi hard rock (most often) with female vocalists and psychedelic influences. Black Sabbath inspired doom metal is common place as are old fashioned recording techniques. Witch Rock is not a real genre of heavy metal, but it should be. (No offense, but I'll take this over Viking Metal every day of the week!) Read more

Finding & Building a Better Beltane

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 10:23 pm By Jason Mankey

Our circles should always be welcoming places and they should represent the entirety of human experience. I want circles that tell ALL of our stories, and have a place within them for everyone. Limiting Beltane to a few tropes: human fertility, Maiden Goddess, Young Horned God, does not accomplish this. Read more

Defend the Gates! (Sometimes Gatekeeping is Necessary)

Last updated on: April 15, 2019 at 1:41 pm By Jason Mankey

I think the doors to Paganism and Witchcraft (and everything else) are generally welcoming and tend to be far more open than closed. But there are some gates that people should not be allowed through, and that's OK. Read more

Practice As You Will & Stop the “More Pagan Than Thou” Nonsense

Last updated on: April 9, 2019 at 3:46 pm By Jason Mankey

Paganism is more than just pagan deities, ceremonial magick, and “nature religion.” If something speaks to a self-identified Pagan as a spiritual practice, well, then it’s a way to practice Paganism. Read more

Edain McCoy & Invented Traditions

Last updated on: April 4, 2019 at 2:23 pm By Jason Mankey

Edain McCoy wrote about Paganism as she experienced it, and Paganism is about the experience first and foremost. Did she get some things wrong? Absolutely, but I'm just happy to see people get through that first door, we can worry about the rest later. Read more

Witchcraft & Dion Fortune

Last updated on: March 27, 2019 at 3:59 pm By Jason Mankey

Dion Fortune is one of the most important figures in Witchcraft’s rebirth during the twentieth century. Though she did not identify as a Witch (or even a Pagan), many of her ideas would become a part of Wiccan-Witchcraft, and her 1938 novel "The Sea Priestess" articulated Witch ritual long before it would be made public.

Loki & Personal Gnosis

Last updated on: March 15, 2019 at 12:19 pm By Jason Mankey

I did not go seeking Loki, and there are parts of me embarrassed to admit our (limited) relationship, fearful that cries of "comic book fan!" will echo over the internet. But Loki keeps showing up in my life, and when he does, he reveals to me some of his nature. Read more
