Changing Times—Changing Worlds: the metaphysical conference no one knows about

KERHONKSON, N.Y. — For a conference started by “two little old ladies who didn’t know what they were doing,” Changing Times—Changing Worlds (CTCW) has all the hallmarks of an event that is poised to grow. Despite that description written by co-founder Tchipakkan, CTCW has many of the elements of much larger events, and this year its presenters offered a variety of in-depth topics such that can’t be easily found in books or blogs. Those two “little old ladies” were Tchipakkan herself, an “electic Pagan-Heathen-rustic,” and Jane Sibley, a Norse practitioner sometimes known as “Auntie Arwen.” However, the professional details and little extras present in this conference belie those self-deprecating words. Tchipakkan claims they didn’t know what they were doing because it has taken awhile to find a venue which feels like it would  be a good fit for the long haul.
