Voting Out Trump Is a Part of My Paganism

Last updated on: October 20, 2020 at 4:27 pm   By Jason Mankey

There is nothing commendable about Trump, and he has nothing to offer the Pagan Community. His administration has actively worked against our values, which is why voting Trump out of office is a part of my Paganism. Read more

Lughnsadh isn't an ugly duckling sabbat simply because we are disconnected from agricultural cycles. Beyond that usual explanation here are some reasons why Lughnasadh isn’t as popular as some of the other sabbats. Read more

Beginning Witches: They’ll Be Fine

Last updated on: July 23, 2020 at 2:33 pm   By Jason Mankey

No matter the time or place, there will always be some young and/or new Witches who do some dumb stuff. Maybe someone conjures up Manon or decides it will be fun to insult the Morrigan. Such decisions are not an indictment of Pagan/Witch resources or a sign that the next generation will ruin the Craft. Read more

Books Aging Poorly: Scott Cunningham’s “Wicca”

Last updated on: July 7, 2020 at 2:26 pm   By Jason Mankey

Scott Cunningham's "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" is now over thirty years old, and parts of it have aged poorly. It's certainly not a bad book, but it's very much a product of its time. Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism are constantly evolving so this shouldn't be much of a surprise. Most Witchcraft books don't age we why would Cunningham's "Wicca" be any different? Read more
