I recently attended a pagan workshop where the presenter said that non-traditional path witches are as dangerous as unschooled surgeons and doctors. What on earth did this guy think I did? Run around with a knife, cutting people up and prescribing poisonous herbs? Non-traditional witchcraft paths may be different from the traditional paths, but they’re no less spiritual, magical, or meaningful to those who practice them. Read more

Class Review: Hekatean Devotion and Magic in the Hellenic Age at the Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary

Last updated on: November 12, 2018 at 12:23 am By Astrea Taylor

This class was like a workshop at a pagan festival, only it was way more in depth and had reading materials galore. Each week, there was a practical application assignment, which included writing personal statements, performing ritualistic elements, creating art, and more. These were powerful accompaniments to the class, and made it all come together in a very magical way. I highly recommend this class and the Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary. Read more
