A Thorny Bit of Self-Promotion
I have a couple items that might be of interest to my readers. First, the new Pagan magazine Thorn has finally hit the newsstands. This compendium of “Paganism in the Silicon Age” contains a news column written by me based on articles found here at this blog.
“Thorn is a new quarterly print magazine about paganism and modern culture. Through a combination of news articles and investigative research, photographic spreads and academic essays, comic strips, original illustration and historical analysis, we hope to illuminate the joys and complications of living ancient paths in the wired era.”
Cover of Thorn #1.
The first issue also features writing by Christine Hoff Kraemer, Lupa, Erynn Rowan Laurie, and an interview with Phonogram writer Kieron Gillen. It is certainly worth checking out!
Turning to a thorn of an entirely different variety, I was recently interviewed by author and Feri priestess T. Thorn Coyle for her elements-themed podcast “Elemental Castings”.
“Thorn talks Air with Jason Pitzl-Waters of the Wild Hunt and a Darker Shade of Pagan. Topics include DJing, club culture, and magic on the airwaves.”
To directly download the hour-long talk, click here. It was fun doing the podcast with Thorn and I hope you enjoy listening to it. Be sure to check out her other podcasts, featuring interviews/talks with Anne Hill, Sharon Knight, and several others.

I ordered a copy. It’s so nice they even take Paypal. That’s how I happen to get all my extra cash. If the issue is good, I’ll get a subscription. And I love reading Wild Hunt.
Wow, it’s been a while since a new pagan magazine of quality came around. This is great news. I will definitely read and maybe contribute.
My contribution was the most recent version of my Cauldron of Poesy poem translation, though for the next issue I’ll be doing a response to the ogam article in this one. I wish them well and hope that they’ll be a good addition to the literature of the Pagan movement.
Despite my concerns about the horrific copywriting of “Silicon Age”, I’ll order a copy.
