Vandalism at Sacred Site: Hellenic Polytheist Altar Destroyed on Athens Hill

By Elyse Welles | 24 hours ago

After celebrating Thargelia on Filopappou Hill, the Labrys Worship Community discovered their altar vandalized with Christian graffiti—an act they call religiously motivated, highlighting ongoing tensions between Greek Orthodox dominance and modern polytheist worship.

Classics of Pagan Cinema: The Cauldron of Cerridwen and “The Sword in the Stone”

The legend is always changing from one thing to another, being gobbled up and sweated out, being birthed into new life with new names, being boiled up in the cauldron of Ceridwen to become what it must be next.

Boycott called against Northeast Thing as community members allege harassment

A group of attendees at the Northeast Thing, an annual Heathen event held in August, will be boycotting the event following the executive board’s decision to ban a workshop presenter from attending this year’s Thing.

Witches and Emerald Walls

I am one of many good Witches. At any given time, any one of us might feel like we are short on heart, brain, or courage, but I assure you, as I do my companions, that that is not the case. It is okay to rest. It is okay to cry. It is okay to rage.

Editorials and Analysis

  • Editorial: A woman with a Mjolnir tattoo raises hundreds of thousands after calling a child a slur. Heathens need to act.
    By Eric O. Scott

    Weekend Editor Eric O. Scott examines the case of Shiloh Hendrix, a Minnesota woman who called a five-year-old child a racial slur and subsequently received more than $750,00 in support from white supremacists, including racist Heathens.

  • Here we go again: David Brooks’s misuse of “paganism” as a cultural corruption
    By Manny Moreno

    In an age where religious minorities — especially Pagans — already face real marginalization, suspicion, and in some cases, violence, Brooks’s carelessness, and by proxy, The New York Times's carelessness for publishing it with little editorial concern,  is irresponsible.

Pagan Living

  • Review: “High Priest: The Father of American Witchcraft” by Jason Mankey
    By Manny Moreno

    Jason Mankey’s High Priest offers a candid, compassionate portrait of Raymond Buckland — tracing his evolution from RAF serviceman to pioneering Witch — while honoring his legacy and confronting the myths, contradictions, and innovations that helped shaped American Paganism as we see it today.

  • Review: Raven Grimassi’s “Crafting a Tradition of Witchcraft”
    By Alan U. Dalul

    Fire burns as long as we take care of it, recognize what it needs, and how to keep it alive. We can’t do it the same way during summer and winter. Raven Grimassi also kept this in mind. A tradition doesn’t stay frozen in time, but grows with its members as they shape its ideas and work.

Pagan Perspectives

  • On the Practice of Initiation in Modern Witchcraft
    By Storm Faerywolf

    The idea of initiation into Witchcraft has always fascinated me. Stories and images abound of arcane rites performed in the cloak of darkness lit only by candles flickering in the night - a death of the old life, and a birth of a new one.

  • I Write Tragedies, Not Sins
    By Luke Babb

    I have always thought of magic as the language that we use to speak to the universe. Many Witches use words of power, chanting, and sigils to communicate their intention in their spellwork. That is practical magic, intended to use language to work their will.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Field Tarot, by Hannah Elizabeth Fofana, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Three (3) of Wands

The next seven days are apt to focus on advancing plans and projects that may call for dreaming large. Confidence in one’s ability to not only ride the wave of momentum that has been created, but to continue to devote energy and resources to maintain it is indicated. There is also the potential for multiple options for expansion to be presented that either may not have existed before or that went unnoticed. Dedication and sustained efforts have the potential to offer major dividends.

In contrast, while opportunities for furthering current endeavors may be available, the tendency to lean towards more conservative options has the potential to limit or even stifle growth. Unexpected delays are likely to cause frustration, particularly if projected plans for progress were unrealistic or not thoroughly plotted and researched. Taking extra time to fully assess plans and trusting the intuition can help to minimize possible delays and avoid obstacles.
