Last updated on: February 21, 2017 at 5:09 pm By The Witches Next Door

It’s Pantheacon time and there is always so much for me to do and see at this amazing event. So far, I’ve journeyed to the sacred isles, partied with my favorite friends who are celebrating their new book releases and been reminded that there are witches and pagans and heathens and druids of all sorts, practicing their magic out in the world.

The Priestess And The Nun – Sisters In Service

Last updated on: January 16, 2017 at 11:28 am By Phoenix LeFae

The Magician – Tarot For Today

Last updated on: May 30, 2017 at 7:49 am By The Witches Next Door

It seems almost sacrilege to admit this, but I am not a tarot witch. I’m a fair magician. However, I’m completely inept when it comes to all things tarot related.

She’s been reading since she was fifteen years old and reads tarot cards professionally as part of her day job. I asked her... Read more

An Old Tradition For The New Year

Last updated on: January 1, 2018 at 6:49 pm By The Witches Next Door

Every plate, every bowl, every packet of tea and jar of spice was deliberated over and, like a conversation with Ma'at, items ended up being put lovingly away or cast into an ever growing pile of "crap we absolutely don't want or need or knew we even had" to be devoured (or just given away).

2016 Review – The Highlights (No, Seriously)

Last updated on: December 28, 2016 at 10:43 pm By The Witches Next Door

60 A.D – Not a particularly good year if you were living in Britain and were not Roman. 1066 A.D – A fantastically terrible year, especially if your name was “Harold” and you started the year with two eyes and a kingdom. 1346 A.D – Historians would later cite “What a spectacularly shite year.
