Through the Looking Glass: The Pagan Community After Covid-19

Last updated on: May 13, 2020 at 1:14 pm By Jason Mankey

I am not a seer. I don't own a crystal ball, and while I own several decks of Tarot cards, I haven't read for anyone in over a decade. However, I do think there will be lasting changes to the landscape of the Pagan Community in the wake of coronavirus and Covid-19. Like everyone else, I want things to "return to normal" as soon as possible but I can't shake the suspicion that at the end of this there will be a "new normal," and it might not be one we like very much.

Last updated on: May 6, 2020 at 12:52 pm By Jason Mankey

Like the Paganisms of old, our Paganism is ideally a place for free thinking and a variety of ideas. It's a place that accepts others for who they are, and wants those individuals to be true to who they are and their will.

A Solitary Beltane Rite: The Magick of Joining

Last updated on: April 20, 2020 at 11:53 pm By Jason Mankey

I'm guessing a lot of us are going to be doing solitary Beltane rites, and this ritual has the extra added bonus of being a bit of a self affirmation. If you are like me right now you might very well need a magickal pick me up! Read more

No Man Is an Island: Remembering Dwayne Sortor

Last updated on: April 5, 2020 at 2:50 pm By Jason Mankey

Who we are as people are the sum total of all of our experiences, and many of those larger experiences are our interactions with others. One does not need to be well known or famous for their ripples to touch and change the lives of others for the better. Dwayne Sortor made lives better. Read more

Expectations & Pagan Authors

Last updated on: March 4, 2020 at 5:41 pm By Jason Mankey

My early days as a Witch were heavily influenced by what I read, and one of the things I liked about the authors who helped me find my path was that they all felt accessible to me, something that I feel has long been a hallmark of Witchcraft writers and teachers. Read more

Wicca & Cultural Appropriation

Last updated on: February 24, 2020 at 11:40 am By Jason Mankey

As the largest and most noticeable subset of Modern Paganism, the mistakes of many Wiccans are often front and center. That does not meant the entire faith as a whole is built on a foundation of cultural appropriation. Read more

A Solitary Imbolc Ritual

Last updated on: January 18, 2020 at 12:51 pm By Jason Mankey

For many of us, Imbolc is a time of transition, existing in a space and time between the seasons. Winter is still a reality for many of us, yet there’s something we can feel that lies just beyond what we’re experiencing. Imbolc is a great time for getting rid of the unwanted things we’ve carried forward into this new turn of the wheel and for preparing for the gifts we might yet receive. Read more

Witchcraft Pet Peeves

Last updated on: January 3, 2020 at 11:57 am By Jason Mankey

Many of the comments said with the best of intentions by other Witches are among my biggest pet peeves in the world of the Craft. And they annoy me so much that I felt the need to write about them. Read more
