Ugly Duckling Sabbats: Midsummer & Lughnasadh

Last updated on: June 27, 2017 at 6:02 pm By Jason Mankey

I have no axe to grind when it comes to the Summer Sabbats of Midsummer and Lughnassa. I celebrate both of them, and in recent years have tried to even be more conscious of them. But both of them are indeed the ugly ducklings on the Wheel of the Year. Read more

Last updated on: June 16, 2017 at 4:57 pm By Jason Mankey

The Book of Shadows in Print: A History

Last updated on: June 12, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Jason Mankey

We tend to take published rituals for granted today. Between websites, e-books, and bookstores there are probably hundreds of different “Books of Shadows” available for perusal and personal use. But that’s a modern development, and it took nearly twenty years from the Craft first going public for easily available ritual books and BoS’s to become available. In many ways these early books brought the BoS out of the shadows and into the light, though they were not without controversy. Read more

Magick & Deity are Two of the Foundations of Modern Paganism

Last updated on: June 4, 2017 at 10:43 pm By Jason Mankey

The exact start date of Modern Paganism, might be up for debate, but not the presence of magick and deity in its origins. We don't all have to agree on the reality of such things, but we can't deny that they were there at the start. Read more
